Pretty sure that’s exactly what them Hobbitses smoke. So you just saying you want shire life.

In the books it’s very explicitly tobacco. However in the movies it was clearly meant to be psychoactive, if not actual cannabis. Either way sign me up for that organic Hobbit grown middle earth smoke.

For your heart maybe, but the rest of you is gonna feel cold. That hobbit hole needs to be heated a lot.

I lived in a student complex once, similar to the top right examples, and I never once had to turn on the heating. Dirt cheap too.

I think the dirt is a very good insulator, so you wouldn’t have to heat it that much.

I empathize with the feeling of living a simpler, happier life, but living like a hobbit would suck for a lot of us.

Indoor plumbing, sewage, electricity and internet, are all way more important to the kind of people who are on this site than they might expect. In addition to that, if you’ve never lived in the countryside, rural living and basic peasant subsistence farming is fucking awful. You are constantly working maintenance and rebuilding damaged property. You’re always dirty, smelly, and tired.

but like rural people have plumbing, electricity, and internet? the internet one is absolutely trivial nowadays with 4g routers

To my knowledge, hobbit holes have none of those amenities. You can make one of these in a city or suburb if you can get the permit, it’ll just be a strange looking house. That’s not how I interpreted the post.

why wouldn’t you assume people want modern niceties? that seems like a pretty obvious thing to assume.

and again, there’s no reason you can’t have this stuff in a rural place, it’s not like rural people in sweden have outhouses and drive to the nearest city to use the internet…

just install a septic tank, drill a well, slap up solar panels and a small wind turbine, and get a 4g router.

I am pretty sure 4g isn’t really viable for most rural areas.

You have to take turns and bang your head on the ceiling chandelier in between.
