I was beginning to feel a little Mandela-y about this series. Thanks for confirming its existence.
Hold on now... Maybe the stories don't line up... Did your universe have one about the kids eating ice cream flavored like the other students' mouths?
I don't remember that one specifically but it sounds about right
It's never done that before.
Side fell off
That's not very typical, I'd like to make that point.
How is it not typical?
It's ok, it's out of the environment.

They got pills for that these days
That thing is in shockingly good shape
Maybe they build them laying flat like that and then get a bunch of Amish guy to raise it with poles?
Good luck getting the Amish to work with Poles.
I know they have a reputation as manual labourers but I feel like you're being unfair to the Poles.
Yeah, much easier to build all of it at ground level, then prop it up. Genius!
I know, right? They must have built it really solidly. Except for the whole falling down bit.
seems like they should have driven in some pylons before the foundation, of course, the REAL worry now is what about all those other ones?
You must build additional pylons.
That's how it got knocked over, they built pylons, the damned Protoss moved in

Scale is right, too. Just need to fix the rotation.
This is intentional they build them on the ground then pull them up. Much less crane fees
Assuming that doesn't y do fucky things with structural integrity... That's pretty clever
Much like the Amish.
Not the kind of housing market crash the people were hoping for.
It fucken WIMDY
China, I assume? They're quite famous for this shit.
Still more durable than US paper houses lolol
I mean, no, but two things can suck at the same time
Two tankie downvotes sitting in a tree
It's rare to get a photo of a building sleeping.
What did that mean for the remaining instances of the same building? I imagine they were all built to the same high quality China is known for.
I mean given that the building still looks fine and did not just smash to rubble boy is that constructed well
It's just pining for the fjords.
The Amish will be there shortly to raise it.
It’s like they purposely spaces the buildings apart in such a way that they avoid a domino effect if one falls down like that.
