I asked a builder why this was, and he said that the lateral forces created by a slightly tilted window has just enough force to rip the entire side of a house clean off due to houses having the structural integrity of wet newspaper, which is the preferred construction method in the States
US people, dry your newspapers before building your houses!
can't tell if this is a troll or not. youre telling me people outside the states think we live in wet newspaper?
Well not wet newspaper exactly but I heard you have walls so thin the neighbours can hear your cell division
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.
I work in a hotel.
One day, a family comes to the reception to tell me that their window is broken, asking me to change their room. I ask if I can take a look.
It turns out, they didn't know the existence of tilt & turn windows and were scared that the window was going to fall down lol
Jokes on you, my windows make a light breeze when shut!
Imagine not having screens in your windows.
This post was made by the flying insects gang.
I'm in the US and have these windows. They have screens. They're also not that special. I prefer the regular windows
I don't use windows. I prefer linux
Try not to talk about Linux on Lemmy challenge (impossible): failed.
In America we have to keep our windows closed to keep out the fent smoke and bullets.
your walls won't save you from the latter tho
While I agree that our windows are generally superior from a functional perspective, the Americans have us beat in the fact that you can't install a window AC unit in our windows.
Hence we get to just die in the increasingly common heat waves. Not great - we've got to figure this one out.
Before portable ACs are mentioned - I'll point out that they have terrible efficiency, and connecting the tube to blow out the hot air is still terrible with European windows.
Mini split heat pumps.
All you need is a 3cm hole in the wall to run a refrigerant line from the outside heat pump unit to the wall unit.
Window AC units are pretty poor efficiency too, IIRC
I admit I'm an American and my windows don't open that way, but I'm not sure why whoever made that meme thinks that means a light breeze can't come through them. Because... a light breeze can come through them.
I get it's all memes and fun, but I am so tired of this constant 'Europe does this better', 'USA is supreme for that'.
They aren't standard in the US, but I promise you these windows exist here. My parents installed them in their home
It's not like our windows don't open, they just don't tilt. I frequently open the windows and get a breeze going when it's nice outside!
Sorry Europeans, I can't hear you over my HVAC system with abundant domestic methane reserves.
People act like you can't just order these kinds of windows in the US. It's not the default, but you can just ask about them if you know about them.
Bruh many old homes in Europe don't have these fancy windows.
Source: WHERE ARE MY FUCKING TILTING WINDOWS!?
Lite breezes were great maybe 30 yrs ago. With modern heat waves and obesity you gonna sweat like a mofo 'les you figure out how to put an AC up in that tilt.
Southamerican living in Spain here.
First time I saw those windows my mind blew to pieces.
Ah, but that classic wood-on-wood sliding window, where all that stands between a destructive crash is an irreplaceable rope installed inside walls when the house was built.
I'm fine. Central HVAC, no need for a breeze
Imagine not having screens on the windows and letting every single bug in the nearby area take up residence inside and being okay with it cuz "it's only a few months out of the year".
🤢 it's the fucking worst.
I tried finding a company who sold those windows in my city here in the USA and failed.
