And a car, and his house had an attached garage, and an oven big enough to fit a rack of brontosaurus ribs.

And his best friend lives next door.

Ok so one thing I've always wondered about the Flintstones. Did he just hollow out a big boulder? The house isn't made of piled up rocks, it appears to be one big single rock.

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 weeks ago

Based on the show's content, they probably used Bronto-Jackhammers to split the rocks and finished it off with stone hand tools.

Leviathan dinosaur egg.

[-] PuddleOfKittens@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago

It's obviously just a picture made up to fit the aesthetic without great thought to worldbuilding, but if you ignore the perspective it could be made of multiple vertical sheets of rock.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, if you're watching Hannah Barbera cartoons looking for detailed animation and well thought out worlds, you've gone to the wrong place lol

[-] Pencilnoob@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I think in the movie they show houses being made with stacked layers of rock chiseled out like a 3d printer

[-] MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

The roof and the garage seem to be other rocks. And the chimney too.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

those are big dinosaur molars. dinosaurs with bad dental hygiene

[-] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

It was Buckminster Fuller cement home. I couldn’t find a link for them, but they were made from a mold and looked sort of like that.

Fred Flintstone wasn't a loser, he was just an average guy.

[-] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah. I grew up watching the Flintstones. He was never portrayed as a loser. He was just a regular blue collar guy. Like Dan on Roseanne. Not like Al from married with children. Someone who was broke all the time but still had a 2 story house and dog, wife, two kids, and a shitty car and vacation like every year even though he was a single income shoe salesman at a mall that was bad at his job.

[-] Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

Al wasn't bad at his job at all, he just cared little.

[-] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 weeks ago

Tell your customers they're giant fatties tends to drive away business....

[-] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world -1 points 2 weeks ago

Who drove a rust-bucket car with an odometer that rolled over to zeroes.

The family was jokingly on the brink of starvation and would fight over a scrap of food.

They celebrated when they paid the water bill and had it turned back on.

It’s well known Al only owns less than 5 pairs of socks and pairs of underwear with most of his clothes falling apart.

Despite owning a house it’s been said over and over that it’s an eyesore in disrepair from the outside.

The family routinely gets involved in scams and schemes to get money.

But most important of all...it's a fictitious, satirical television show

[-] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 weeks ago

You trying to make a point somewhere?

[-] Nounka@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Idd.

And 12000 yaer later there was a dude called Al Bundy. He had a wife that liked to shop. 2 kids in school, a car and a own home. Paid it all with a shooselling wage...
He is also seen as the loser...

Al Bundy was considered poor and a loser because he was a shoes salesman.

A shoes sales man with a nice house, 2 cars, 2 kids and a wife that liked to spend money.

Fuck if that's what being a loser is, what the fuck even am I?

[-] EmilieEasie@fedinsfw.app 10 points 2 weeks ago

I loved the Flintstones, good parody

[-] raman_klogius@ani.social 8 points 2 weeks ago

Letting the days go by

[-] heartSagan5@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 weeks ago

He has a house. The way AirBnB, house flippers, and corporate rentals has priced many out of the market; that’s wild to call him a loser.

Do the Flintstones even have a mortgage?

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

yeah, every now and then i think about going out to the hills and building a stone and mud hut. slapping an A/C unit on the side with extension cords leading all the way down through a grassy field to the nearest airport or quarry. not a fire hazard at all.

[-] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 6 points 2 weeks ago

pretty sore feet though iirc

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

crane operators used to be well paid

Who ever said Fred Flintstone was a loser?

[-] Akasazh@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Fred Flintstone was a loser

  • /u/valar

There, you just did, through the magic of selective quoting:p

[-] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

The show did. Rather often. Hell it was even in the movie.

[-] valar@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I watched a lot of Flintstones and I don't remember it that way.. A blue collar oaf maybe but respected.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Fred was a loser? I mean they depicted him as treating Barn like one, but Barn always had the better end of the deal.
