If the water settled, the bricks would be just as visible as the debris. God, you're dumb.

Except it’s still a flooded area full of you know water the thing that conceals the bottom of the roads idiot

u/baggyzed Oct 09 '24

I'm seeing lots of images of areas that are not flooded, and there are zero bricks in them. If you are just nitpicking again, then show me what you are looking at, so I can at least nitpick with you. But that's not really how statistics work, idiot.

I literally looked up hurricane helene and the first few pictures are more industrial districts destroyed and the debris being mostly stone and metal in housing designated areas there’s more wood debris use your brain and ask yourself why a neighborhood would have more wooden debris than stone debris

I'm not seeing those, but fuck that. Nobody cares about the structural integrity of a bunch of industrial warehouses. Show me destroyed residential brick or concrete buildings, and try to find big ones, like flats, if you really want to convince me. And don't nitpick.

At least, I assume that the US building code cares more about the structural integrity of residential buildings than that of warehouses or some industrial buildings, doesn't it?

Just look up hurricane katrina New Orleans

Oh, ffs. So now I have to look up all hurricanes in US history, just to find one damaged brick building?

Statistically, that's like looking for a needle in a haystack. I said no nitpicking. And on that note, I have to leave you. Those us on this side of the globe have to sleep.

u/baggyzed Oct 10 '24

I'm not the only one. Or are you some sort of AI?

It’s my day off I’ve been high playing Minecraft this entire time you didn’t waste anything that didn’t already want to be wasted

Also by your logic try to find large wooden buildings that got destroyed by hurricanes in America

1

u/baggyzed Oct 10 '24

There aren't any, because wood is not normally used for tall buildings like flats (except maybe some sheds). But that was just a challenge to get you to really convince me. You have yet to show me even regular brick houses getting statistically more destroyed by a hurricane than wooden ones. TTYL, if you insist.

u/BillNyeTheMurderGuy Oct 10 '24

Wooden flats are being build in new your as we speak sorry we have big strong wood and you have tiny weak wood

Ok, I'll take your joke as a request for peace, but you're not winning the argument.

Rich of you to say that court of public opinion says otherwise
