Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.
I will introduce more rules later and when I finish doing that I will make an announcement post about that.
For overall temporary guide check out the rules here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hmmm/wiki/rules/
I won't be moving all of them here but I will keep most of them.

I have that people post those and I don't doubt they are real anymore.
Now I'm just curious about what shape those anchors have, due to morbid curiosity.
They’re 8 foot deep concrete anchors according to the interview
Maybe they're getting ready to move the earth to another place in space and didn't want their house shifting around.
moving house
ive always wondered why nobody does that with their mobile homes. seems like enough strapping would help minimize tornado damage if they were anchored deep enough
You've gotta remember that most mobile home communities are folks who own their units renting the land for use. This guy has custom concrete anchors, which a mobile home community property owner probably wouldn't want.
then that mhcomm owner is a dumbfuck for not wanting his renters property protected
Why would he care? He gets paid either way, so he's not going to give a fuck. Now, change the law so that he has liability...

No duct tape. 2/10. Would not trust.
in fairness, they did slap the roof and said "yehp, that's not going anywhere."
we're not entirely sure of when the incantation was first made, but the magic behind it is still juuuust strong enough to do the trick.
Fair enough.
did he die
