    Well not wet newspaper exactly but I heard you have walls so thin the neighbours can hear your cell division

    I mean it exists for sure, but not something people expect when moving in places. usually correlates to the cost and age. decibels wise, it's not too different than Europe imo. I lived in France and mother fuckers be yelling from their windows all day. I also lived in Germany and the walls are thick as shit, but mother fuckers have their windows open all day and yodelling. if you live near people, you'll hear them some way or another. renting in the US is also much simpler. fuck Germany's renting culture shit.

    You've... you've never been out of your state, have you? 😂

    People don't...shout at eachother out of windows! What sort of savage would do that?

    Oh, the ones in the movies you watched about Yurp. 😂

    Hitting a wall and having any chance of the wall breaking isn't really a thing outside the US. Everyone elsewhere notices that a lot in movies and videos. It's not uncommon for children outside America to ask adults why Americans have paper walls. People being mad and punching a wall and putting a fist-sized hole in it, falling and breaking the wall or throwing anything and the thing getting stuck in the wall. In most of the world it's you or the thing hitting the wall that'll break, not the wall itself.

    The wall isn't the structural integrity part of the house. And that's for interior walls. You're getting your opinions from the questions that children ask in other countries?

    It's an intentional exaggeration, but it's true that houses in the US are usually built without a proper foundation and with thin walls.

    They're built differently depending on where you live in the states and your environment. I know y'all love staying ignorant to feel superior but this one is still pretty dumb. People in Japan practically have paper walls and I don't see you guys all up your snobby butts about that. Xenophobic turds. It would take people 10 seconds to learn why some of our houses are built the way they are but they won't bother if they haven't by now because they prefer the ignorance.

    You know that tool called stud finder that you use in America if you ever think about hanging a picture on the wall, or a TV, otherwise you risk your wall falling down with anything attached to it?

    Never seen a stud finder in Europe.
