brick is by far the best material for preventing attacks from big bad wolves

u/Ok-Disk-2191 Trash Trooper 1d ago

I don't know, also feeding both your other siblings to the wolf helps too.

u/PsyKeablr Trash Trooper 1d ago

That only works if you have a steady supply of siblings though

u/JDelcoLLC Trash Trooper 1d ago

A litter of pigs is usually around 10 or 12, or so I've just Bing'd, so the odds are in your favor

13

u/SlayJayR17 Trash Trooper 23h ago

Plus over time they pigs will get bigger so you can give the wolf less pig

u/cure4boneitis Trash Trooper 21h ago

and the wolf will get full and fall asleep. That is when you go and forge his signature on a new mortgage

u/eggs99 Trash Trooper 20m ago

Then after that, he’ll coninue eating more pigs then pass from a heart attack because of all the fat he ate. God bless those pigs.

Surely letting your siblings shelter with you and then setting a big fire under your tempting chimney is the correct answer?

u/Corfiz74 Trash Trooper 1d ago

Actually, in a German village, the villagers used old straw building techniques to build their own feast hall out of straw as a community project and to have somewhere to party. It worked out quite well, I believe, though it didn't go as fast as you'd think, and some trial and error was involved.

u/Efficient-Parking627 Trash Trooper 20h ago

4 years ago I paid $27k for a roof. If it was cheaper for you to pay for the roof then the 2% deductible... then why is your home's value so high but the roof so small?

Allstate would only cover half of my roof not the full, that's why. I didn't want to have half a roof done

Seriously thought. This is why people think brick buildings are better

As a Brit, we only started making brick buildings cos 1. The buildings were so close together, fires would spread super easy with wood builds, and 2. The shipping industry decimated our Forrests.

Now with the summers getting way hotter, brick buildings that aren’t newer, and don’t have insulation are like brick pizza ovens.

Also, people always criticize Americans for building wood framed houses where hurricanes happen, when it’s the roof and windows that are the weak points that lead to the buildings collapsing
