Why the fuck is "troglodyte" an offensive word anyways, seriously, underground dwellings are great for temperature, noise, security, energy efficiency, environmental friendliness, cost of construction, disaster preparedness, you name it, they've been used by countless peoples since the dawn of mankind because they're a genuinely great form of housing, honestly we should fucking ALL be troglodytes instead of deforesting the world to build fucking suburbs killing the planet filling the sky with so much light pollution and actual pollution that I can't even see the fucking stars half the time.
