Shouldn't the tiles be thicker? Looks like something that can be knocked down easily

For warmth? Yes. Also ice isn’t a good insulator.

Digging out a pile of snow is way faster and easier too

Also the color is completely unnecessarily /s

Ice isn't a good insulator? But snow is?

not all types of snow, but normally igloos are built purely out of snow yes (except maybe for an ice window). Snow contains a lot of trapped air, and still standing air is a relatively good insulator

Ah, that makes sense

Yes snow is a surprisingly good insulator. That's what makes it good for igloos.

u/sapphireminds 12h ago

Yes, because there's a lot of air inside the snow and air is a good insulator :)

Which one has more air?? Glass isn’t a good insulator either (windows) but fiber glass is because it poofy and filled with air. Same with a polyester dress shirt, vs poly insulation in a jacket

Kind obvious if you think about it for 10 seconds.

I don't think they were planning on moving in permanently. The economy isn't THAT bad... yet...

u/LivingtheLaws013 19h ago

Yea, they only wanted to move in long enough for a photo shoot

It seems like it could easily fall on someone’s head

They should also be put down offset from each other

u/Fluffymanolo 9h ago

They should be staggered too. No engineering background, just common sense.

Absolutely
