Funny how often those two coincide
gerdygerdygerdy
Why didn't the rain full the aqua dam and flood the house? How did the rain escape the inside f the aqua dam. This does not make sense.
gerdygerdygerdy
Never mind, It came with a water pump. Now it's awesome

It's an aqua dam. Doing 0 googling I assume it's filled with water.

What is that
DroolingHomer
i'm a civil engineer, ive used those aqua dams before...not cheap. that guy has to be very wealthy
modgodcom
The big ones are, that one maybe put him back 3 grand.
todayok
Wrong: about the price of a nice lawn tractor. And no one gives a fuck if you're a civil engineer (or, more likely, engineering student).
kasaku
Need time stamps.

I'd love to live next to this everyday. Totally not an eyesore.

Grow a fucking backbone u little shit. It's his property that was built for safety not for pleasing your fucboi eyes. I hope skeltals atk u.
jackofonetrade
Yeah im thinking he takes it down when there isnt a flood coming.......
LiterallyWorseThanHitler
Rather an ugly home than a flooded one
hEEbtHejEWish
Or you could just get flood insurance like a normal person.

Just because you are crazy, doesn't mean you are wrong.

If it looks stupid, but works, then its not stupid

Tell that to these guys. https://laughshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Redneck-Pool-Electric-Grill.jpg
BluBoxx
Typically it doesn't work. In this case the guy happened to be on particularly high ground compared to neighboring lots as well
M4rt1nV
It might not BE stupid, but it can still look stupid.
BluBoxx
However, staying in the way of major flooding is a great way to become a statistic 2/2
BluBoxx
Well it is stupid, even bad decisions can end up OK (just like even good decisions can still turn out bad). Guy got lucky, good for him, 1/
MyNameIsJesusAndIStealHubcapsFromCars
thank you for fucking saying it right!

I didnt know there was a wrong way to say it

90% of the time people omit the word "looks"
johnny538
I assume it's anchored to the ground? Otherwise it would just float, right?
NotAPervert
It's filled with water.

It might be full of dirt/sand.

Technically you will lose weight by cutting off a limb.
poopstabber
One time it paid off. What about all the people who built worthless bomb shelters in the 50s and 60s?
gratefulheart
"That one time you didn't lose everything. What about the people that also didn't lose everything 70 years ago! Huh? What about them?"
yuraf
They might get to use them soon, if the Russian pricks do anything stupid.
kanne31
They have wicked man caves to play Fallout 4. Sounds like a win to me.
Jynxy85

Ahead of their time. If the Cold War was still a thing, I'd call my man cave the 'bomb shelter'.
NordicJew
Those will come in handy next year...
eroso
Or all the people who had healthcare insurance and never got sick ;)
Crimpwithyourthumb
Theoretically a bomb could still be a future threat
Urgalicity
They actually make great root cellars for storing dry goods or other non-parishable items.
Giordino
At that time the threat was real enough to build those shelters. Now decades later they seem and maybe are worthless. It's a risk they took
p169z0r
They're about to get to use them if NATO pokes Russia one more time.
Poopoopeepeevagina
They can still come in handy
ArcaneConjecture
We've got provisions and lots of beer / The key word is survival on the new frontier...

But nuclear war was a real and serious threat.

Have you not seen Gleaming the Cube? Worthless, really?
valen00
well after trump is elected and starts WW3 who will be laughing then?
GoBlue
Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
vintagebroad
My brother sold them.
Sebastan
They'll get to use them soon.
Whyyyymeeee
Well. Considering the potential next US president, not the worst thing to have...
Bilboteebaggins
We have one of those worthless bomb shelters at my farm. We now use it as a shop that stays warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
xKaraKx
Might still pay off
xKaraKx
At worst its a good storage area for canned goods
shuffles
Their time will come ????
Talmorean
Worthless? They still are viable.
IPoopAfterDrinkingCoffee
Well they didn't die from bombs did they?
DahPrincess
I would like to buy your rock!

UWAGAGABLAGABLAGABA
Tornado shelters?
0lliecat
That's what I was thinking too.
Klingon00
A bomb shelter is something you'd rather have but not need. Like an umbrella. You'll be glad you have one should you need it.
RuKosopaty
they have cool basement?
Eddwyn
Really big, cool basements?
MPinky
Storage space is nothing to be scoffed at.
Snooj
No, they usually weren't connected to the house.
Decayous
Wine cellars.
BarbaTenusSapientes
Damn. I guess theres no other way to get into them then.
RAGESTARVED
cool cellar, then
iamthisguy247
Man cave! Or masturbatorium.

Mastrubation station.

If you live in tornado alley I would imagine it would come in handy as a tornado shelter.
FidgetFeets
Preach.
aninvisiblemaniac
now they have a bad ass bomb shelter
skoomaddict
I mean, shits gettin bad. They still have bomb shelters
Kysthei
You don't build a bomb shelter knowing you are going to use it. You build a bomb shelter on the off chance you need it.
BranAlastor
You say worthless. I say torture cellar for hitchhikers.
Winland
just you wait...

Cold War II is ramping up, they'll be popular again. http://www.nextbigfuture.com/2016/10/russia-suspending-and-withdrawing-from.html

Perfect place to keep your victims
Thisisnotreallymyname
Considering the current state of the world, might still come in handy.
BlastedSand
Potentially useful if you live in an area prone to tornadoes.
AFormerPotheadsOpinion
Worthless? What do you mean? .... is it safe to come out now?
sleete
Nope.
Snooj
No. Not for at *least* four years. Maybe eight.
tentaclefriendly
Wait a few more months.
Delcaran
I'd have a bomb shelter...
Willybum84
You never know...and could be a cool gaming room...or fap room or prison for kidnaped prostitutes
ThePornBroker
Dont forget a torture room for abducted homeless people.
no01
VonEisen
Not really useless, useful against bombs, even nuclear ones, so long as you were far enough away. Also good for tornados.
SherMattLockSmith
Nice cheese cave now. Or wine cellar. Hell, even a place to kick the kids out to when you want to get busy.
blaChek
What about them,
BewareTheJabberwockie
'One Time' it cost him less to pay for that and save his home then evacuating and losing everything. One time was enough.
SuperNintendoChalrmers
Huge wine cellars. Wine is winning.
sleete
I like you.
SuperNintendoChalrmers
I like wine.
sleete
Obv, you need to share
itsyaboyDC
Adds resale value to a home, and a dope man/lady cave.
8hourgamer
a great room to play Fallout?
Major7omm
I would pay a premium for a house with a bomb shelter simply because of the cool factor. And because I have repressed prepper tendencies.
BatmanAndCradleRobin
Man/ladies cave if it was mine, if you know whant I mean.
thewalkinged
A cave you hide ladies in as a man? Is that what you mean? Cause that's like, illegal.
BatmanAndCradleRobin
Well I didn't not mean that...
thewalkinged
I just read your username and I'm starting to get creeped out.

ScootyPuffSr
From one POV (one I don't share), the bomb shelters did their job. Don't bother attacking us, enough will survive we'll hit you back.
feeltheice
Even if we didn't survive we would have hit back. 5+ min to authorize and switch a button
IronicUsername
No expert on warfare but I feel confident in saying nobody hesitated to attack because they feared retaliation from bomb shelter survivors.
ScootyPuffSr
Like I say, it's a POV I didn't share.
dpidcoe
They feared retaliation from the fleet of nukes that would be launched in the 20 or so minutes before their own nukes did their job. 1/2
dpidcoe
That said, there may be sufficient crazy to deem wiping a country away worth it. Bomb shelters are just one tiny piece of the deterrent. 2/2
NorfolkBoy
They have a really nice Hurricane, Tornado or other extreme weather event shelter. And extra storage.
ScootyPuffSr
Tornado, yes. Storage, no, then you don't fit inside in an emergency. Hurricane, underground shelter + flooding = hell no.
NorfolkBoy
I don't know about you, but I wish I had more storage for Preps, and a bunker for nukes should definitely have storage for that.
ScootyPuffSr
Sorry, when you said "storage," I thought you meant Timmy's third grade art project and the Tupperware you never use.
NorfolkBoy
Nah, no worries mate. Good point with hurricanes, I hadn't considered them as a flood risk. Of course, many bomb shelters are above ground.
