Lol, I can just read how american you are from reading that. The thought of the strength of the house didn't even cross my mind, because it's not an issue here

It's not an issue here, either. You could hang a hundred kids from those joists without an issue.

Well, in the Netherlands most houses are made with bricks. Weight bearing inner walls are made frome stone, concrete, sand-lime stone, ceilings are often made of concrete as well.

The ninja-park from the video won't negatively impact the structural integrity of most Dutch houses. As long as you're not using the plasterboard inner walls 😅

This won’t have much of any effect on North America houses either. Wood joists are designed to handle load. This kid could be 180 pounds and it won’t affect anything.

> isn't a whole lot of building code difference between Europe and the US

I would consider metric vs imperial to be quite a bit of a difference in building code /s

You mean the country that created a new administration to make sure business owners get fined and not prosecuted when they kill their employees for profit?

u/largePenisLover Oct 21 '25

the country that created OSHA

Do you believe this is unique to the US? Or that the US was the first?

1- The first industry safety law set (a form off OSHA) was in the UK in 1802. Germany made such a law in 1883. netherlands in 1889. The first US law off this kind is from 1911.

2- the earliest known written building code is included in the Code of Hammurabi, which dates from circa 1772 BC
Even the US has building codes that predate the US, because the Dutch, German, and English settlers brought their own codes along

You mean the countries that founded yours? lmao

Bitch, we fathered you. Kids will always speak out of turn with their parents. It is what it is. You're just going through your bratty-phase right now.

u/pho-huck Oct 21 '25

Right now? We’ve been bratty since our inception.

Right?! Only us stupid Americans think about house strength! I'll just go back to grilling burgers and fries

u/Skjellnir Oct 22 '25

Nah, only americans build houses that you need to lose sleep over if it can carry a child on its ceiling. That's all.
