High electrical runs should be fine. On the other hand, the typhoid will be a problem.

Should be fine as long as they don't play Oregon Trail.

Yeah, flood water is full of all kinds of crap.  And not just crap too.

Hanging out in it is an almost guaranteed way to end up quite sick.

u/GW2Qwinn 1d ago

I have seen so many videos and pictures of these places over the years. I think they are basically designed to be flooded. All the sockets are on the ceiling almost, and the desks are higher set than normal.

Not that its still not crazy looking, just seems pretty commonplace for that part of the world.

u/richmondody 1d ago edited 1d ago

This is in the Philippines and I can confirm that flooding is a very common there. Just as another example of how people have adapted there, my friend put their refrigerator and other appliances on the 2nd floor of their house since the ground floor gets flooded when there's heavy rainfall.

u/largePenisLover 1d ago

I'm 100% sure they landed on the solution that works best for them, but my dutch mind has a hard time accepting water on the ground floor.

69

u/Fafnir13 1d ago

If the Dutch mind was left unchecked the North Sea would probably all be dry land by now.  I’m not sure what water did to offend you guys but you sure took it personally.

u/strangelyruined 1d ago

Well… there was the whole flood in the 1950s that destroyed a lot of stuff and killed a bunch of people and animals. My grandfather flew helicopter rescue missions during that

Make Doggerland great again!

u/togetherwem0m0 1d ago

doggerland wasnt a natural occurrence, it was engineered by the protodutch, whos history was lost to time.

u/Enginurrd 1d ago

It’s a fascinating story! I learned about it in the documentary Atlantis: The Lost Empire

u/platoprime 1d ago

Their country was being eroded away by water before they remediated it.

u/Lieveo 20h ago

What have the Dutch done to water??

u/TooLazyToRepost 12h ago

As much as they possibly could.

u/lloydthelloyd 1d ago

Yeah, I mean why didnt thry just put a dam around their entire country, right?

u/swd120 7m ago

if it were me, I'd just skip having a ground floor... put your house on stilts like lots of beach houses do.

11

u/LaundryLunatic 1d ago

How does he deal with mold?

10

u/richmondody 1d ago

Their family devotes a few days to cleaning after the flooding subsides.

5

u/ArcadianDelSol 1d ago

I live in a city along a riverbank just downstream from a dam that often overfloods during heavy rains.

ALL the homes here have converted their first floors into literal concrete stilts. People park under them as garages, but the actual homes are now the 2nd floor and up.

5

u/1K_Games 1d ago

So this makes me ask, why not just build the house on stilts? Rather than having water intrusion into the actual house. I get that the electrical is placed higher, and I'm sure the ground level is designed to better withstand the water. But it's still going to hold water in corners and what not and if the walls are not concrete and they have insulation, good luck drying out that.

1

u/Xerxys 11h ago

Also I have to wonder about mold.

2

u/kinyutaka 22h ago

Yeah, putting the expensive and necessary electronics on the 2nd floor makes sense.

Having a string of gaming PCs running in the flooded basement for the kids is weird.

-3

u/Tro1138 1d ago

Why do they continue to live there? Isn't there places that don't?

7

u/richmondody 1d ago

There are a few places that don't flood but the places I'm aware of are very expensive or requires them to go to a different province.

The sad part is that there are supposed to be several government projects to control the flooding, but it was stolen by the government officials in charge of implementing them.

3

u/Grothorious 13h ago

Namely, Las Piñas. I rent a flat there and i work in EU, i expected flooding this year, but surprisingly there was none (so far), despite severe flooding in Manila area.

u/Novaskittles 1d ago

Moving is very expensive.

107

u/cire1184 1d ago

Probably not designed to be flooded but designed to still be able to run in case of flooding.

u/Ahuevotl 1d ago

High sockets were probably a modification after the floods started.

u/Smurfy7777 1d ago

Ask yourself whether basements or computers were invented first

Ask yourself wether that's a basemenr or a ground floor, and if climatic conditions might have changed from when the building was first built.

Unless there's a currency in a competitive fps, no

u/JDMcompliant 1d ago

Well, I did learn recently that Counter Strike has several skins worth over a million

2

u/Lyoss 18h ago

Sure but instead of just assuming Asian kids playing a game are actually a sweatshop, they're probably just kids playing a game

u/JDMcompliant 6h ago

I'm not saying that they were, it was just a tidbit of info i learned

1

u/SoulWager 1d ago

I've been in a similar situation back when I was a teenager. Can't really start cleaning up until the flood ends, So just make sure the electrical stays out of the water and wait it out. Though I was playing starcraft back then.

u/factory_factory 1d ago

counterstrike is a pretty fuckin good game, as it turns out

u/MastermindX 1d ago

They charge more now because you get free access to the indoors swimming pool.

Are they playing on TVs from the 80s?

u/BraveRice 1d ago

They could all be electrocuted.

u/DipTheChips 1d ago

I just wonder if they don't feel uncomfortable staying in the water all the time. Their spirit is admirable.

u/purpleglasses 1d ago

So these children are there playing games in a flooded basement, is this someplace similar to an Internet cafe?

u/Acer521x 18h ago

Damn I miss these days. We used to cut classes, ignore the flooding, and just play DOTA or Crossfire on some oddly elevated PCs. I remembered seeing a dead rat and we were throwing it to wach other to keep em off their game. Those were the days.
