I'd like to imagine a very Wile E Coyote situation as they open their door, and get halfway down the stairs before they look down and realize it's not there.

But why though? I guess the next one will have to be concrete.

No. A joke is "two cannibals are eating a clown; one turns to the other and asks 'does this taste funny to you?'" Turning someone's morning into a trip to the hospital is a felony.

There were prime cut 2 by 4's in that porch

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 150 points 1 week ago (2 children)

For anyone who's doesn't remember the original post: this was a joke. OP was having their porch replaced and decided to use the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.

I could almost believe it. Lumber got obscenely expensive for a hot minute during trumps first term to the point where it was cheaper to build a deck with that Trex stuff.

Thank you for the context!

Even funnier, the original tweet was from a guy in ~~Cincinnati (I think, but it could have been a different Ohio city)~~ [edit:it was a different Ohio city, lol] Cleveland and even his joke was stolen

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Cleveland, which for the unaware is very similar to Detroit economically and socially

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Cleveland : Detroit :: Machine Gun Kelly : Eminem

Yeah, that makes sense. Ohio has a weirdly large number of nationally known cities. I’m from Connecticut and I think I know about as many cities by name in Ohio as in California, and I only know more municipalities by name in New York and New England.

[–] MirthfulAlembic@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Ohio has lost its relative population and economic significance in recent years, but historically it was a pretty significant state. To give an idea in terms of # of representatives in the House:

Ohio had more/equal reps compared to California until the 50s, Texas until the 60s, and Florida until the 90s. Its numbers have been very close to Illinois for the past century also.

The collective cultural awareness of cities in such a state holds inertia for a while, and Ohio still has a decent population despite some decline.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

A lot of our cities are known from TV sitcoms and from rivers catching fire. Edit: or both! I forgot about The Drew Carey Show.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Ohio is important, like, the French and Indian war was over Ohio and caused the taxes that led to the revolution. But also Columbus is like new york if your business can't justify new york. Cleveland is a major port city of the great lakes and used to be an industrial powerhouse. Cincinnati is a major stop on the primary tributary of the Mississippi while also being pretty far east and on great soil, it also used to be a major industrial powerhouse. Then airplanes were invented in Dayton. It's also unique among states in that its three biggest metro areas are of relatively similar size and have been for a while (though it's unlikely to last)

So yeah it's still a pretty large state by population, but it's mostly well known for times gone by. The rust is deep in the rust belt and while the cites are trying to make things better, a lot of the smaller cities and rural areas have flocked to a spray tanned huckster as their Messiah hoping that he will do what only forward thinking can. Cleveland is doing it's best though.

I mean... That's pretty bad, but there was someone in Brazil or Mexico (somewhere south of the US anyway, I don't recall exactly) where a woman went on vacation and came home to find her entire house had been stolen, brick by brick.

Dudes showed up pretending to be construction workers and took the house away in pieces over the course of a few days. The neighbors didn't suspect a thing.

[–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Someone had it out for that poor lady.

I had a confusing perspective thing going on here for about 30 seconds…I thought this was a wall in front of the house. At least it sounds like OP was wide awake when they opened the front door.
