Is that "cellar" built on the beach? I'm no structural engineer, but that don't sound right.

    Once you add the underwater airlock in preparation for rising sea levels, it'll no longer be an issue.

    Once the underwater airlock becomes a full-time essential feature, you'll get to test whether you properly installed explosive decompression preventions at high tide.

    After that, you only have to worry about how much of your sand and bedrock the currents wash away.

    With the recent heat waves we've been having it's nice to visit the cellar for a few minutes of cooling down. Of course I can't stay too long because of the radon.

    Lmao apocalypse proof, except he built it on the beach so even a little bit of global warming would flood it right away. Apocalypse proof, except for that one actual apocalypse we have confirmed is in progress right now.

    This has to be a photoshop. The water table at the beach is the same level as the surface of the ocean, so usually somewhere between a few centimeters to a meter.

    Yeah obviously this is fake as fuck. It's the perfect tech bro invention in that it's dumb and flawed in every way and also already exists but better for a very long time.

    It isn't even good photoshop, the angles are all wrong. Like is it in the side of a hill? But it looks like it's on flat ground? It makes no sense.

    That's not cold enough to preserve food.

    Below 40F is needed to preserve food. Ideally, just above freezing, if you don't want to freeze it. I keep my fridge at 35F.

    Before refrigeration, they used to store big blocks of ice in similar conditions and the ice would last up to 10 months in there.

    Silly... the concerpt of a underground fridge probably predates the word cellar.

    Who needs a celler when you can just purchase my newly invented "meat preserving dust".

    Keep in mind that the stick and cardboard houses those people live in usually have a "crawlspace", nothing more.

    Wouldn't mind a cool cellar to retreat to at this point tbh. Diggy diggy hole!

    But doing it reasonably safely probably costs a fair bit for materials to reinforce the soil.
