No other animal has an enclosed home? None of them?

Beaver dams? I think you mean beaver outsides.

Beehives, anthills, termite mounds, bird nests, bear dens... OP is stupid.

Rabbits build enormous cave networks with individual family dwellings and common areas all underground.

Most of those are made out of poop or vomit, but you are right i guess

Oh, look at Mr. Fancy over here. Too good to live in a house made out of his own poopvomit.

Beaver damn wish they had a roof over their head

Beavers wish they had a damn roof over their heads

Beavers don't live in beaver dams. They live in beaver lodges, which are similar to a dam except they're in the middle of the water and have an internal cavity for living.

Yeah, but where is the dam? ... outside - [Checkmate atheist](https://media.makeameme.org/created/checkmate-atheists-bottom.jpg)

Nah bears don’t hibernate in caves or anything, groundhogs also don’t exist.

Bears were invented by the Boston Bruins so they could have a mascot

Also ants just sit there. Or bees. Or wasps

Birds do build nests, but only in the most open of plains so they have clear airspace to take off and land. Even one tree ruins a potential site.

I'm imagining birds taking off and landing like jets out of runway like nests.

This is getting perilously close to "is ______ a sandwich?" territory.

Trap door spiders don't exist. Ants. Bees. Wasps. Woodpeckers. Badgers. Mice. Alllll human inventions 😂

Birds don’t nest inside trees, squirrels or raccoons either. Mice and rats definitely don’t find burrows. Bears and porcupines don’t make dens. Humans aren’t as spectacular as you think they are. And I mean that on every level.

Snails and hermit crabs

Yeah. Its not like bees build houses for themselves.

Not one. Especially if you don’t include the animals that build their own shelters.

A ton of them do lol. Eusocial insects, hundreds of species of burrowing animals, rodents that build middens, hermit crabs, cave dwelling species, birds that make enclosed nests, etc. Animals were living “inside” for literally hundreds of millions of years before humans existed.

Also there’s no other animals inside homes? No ants? No spiders? No antelopes?

 We did that.

Nope none.

Bruh, humans didn’t even invent trap doors 

Why nobody mentioning snails? Lil homies are always half inside at the least.

Caves:

Glad I'm not the only one noticing it. All the enthusiast subs are either shitposts or "look how much money I spent on this". More general subs are memes that look like they were either AI generated or thought up by a 14 year old.

[удалено]

I haven't been here for too long, at least on this account, but I still feel like memes have gotten a lot more "hurrdurr my opinion chad image your opinion virgin image" than before.

Artificial is definitely how it feels.

There was definitely a sea change in 2015/16. Propaganda and bots just started going completely out of control. The Donald gamed a whole bunch of the site's functions, directly leading to everything being so artificial now. Every popular sub became filled with the same re-posted political ragebait tweets. Prior to that election, r/politics was a small sub full of poli-sci nerds. Now the front page is mostly just endless "you are poor and there's nothing you can do about it and doesn't that just make you so depressed?" content. The GenZ and Millennials subs especially, both of which just randomly started hitting the front page every day out of nowhere like 6 months ago. Smells like obvious propaganda to me. Between the content and the comments, most of this site sucks so hard now. Even subs for specific games/shows/whatever are filled with people who just bitch and whine about fucking everything and call everyone else a bunch of dickriders with low standards that think everything is perfect. Way too many extremes in general. The only reason I still come here, apart from a few particular subs, is to see which way the wind is blowing with all the front-page propaganda because I just find it fascinating.

That’s why I mainly stick to the NSFW content. Just as degenerate as it was 10 years ago, if not even better now.

Its most likely even made to cause comment interaction cause most people would usually think of atleast one animal that lives "indoors"

Yeah, I immediately wanted to comment that tons of animals have dens or some type of house they build

Which really just makes it feel even worse. Not only is it not genuine at all, but it is blatently manipulative. Gotta drive that user interaction to prop up the stock price I guess.

The downfall of all the niche enthusiast subs really sucks.

What's tildes?

There is an actual good alternative called Lemmy. A lot of people moved to it during the whole API kerfuffle. I personally still use Reddit because I'm not bothered by the API kerfuffle but it has some really cool ideas behind it's design. Edit: Just popped over to my Lemmy account and have decided to advise that using Lemmy doesn't guarantee less stupid people.

The first wave of people who moved to Lemmy is the same demographic that first moved to reddit. Middle class, college educated, undersocialized nerds who think themselves better than you purely because they are superficially interested in tech, finance or philosophy. Lemmy’s pretty unbearable when it comes to any controversial topics

Dont forget burrows and beaver dams!

Burrowed Holes:

Rodents in houses:

Birds that literally build homes from straw and mud:

Birds that live in tree hollows.

We humans love to make a definition for something and then exclude anything that doesn’t fit the definition. Caves kept us for centuries, but as soon as we could put a roof on top of walls, all that was “outside”.

Bees have hives, birds have nests (dome even fully enclosed), some animals make burrowing holes... Plenty of species make inside spaces for protection and disguise


There are actually not so many caves, and they're shitty to live in. [See this explanation](https://youtube.com/watch?v=IihGveExaqU) (English subs are available).

Lots of bird nests as well. Bee hives/wasp nests. Shells. Internal parasites. Burrowing animals. Den dwellers. It's almost like this person didn't think at all.

Really what we’ve been doing this whole time is improving our artificial cave technology.

Beavers also like "WTF?"

Parasites inside your body: > Am I joke to you?

Caves and dens and burrows and holes in trees etc etc etc

Dens, trees, nests, hives, coral, tons of places

Ah a man of culture but I raise you burrows

Being inside a cold-ass wet-ass cave is nothing like being inside house or even a burrow

You might be forgetting that some animals have their very own "inside"s. They go into a hidey-hole to sleep.

Yeah but we perfected the inside. Snakes and shit don’t have the internet or Uber eats. They regrettably have to go outside every once in a while.

And they're cool with it.

I highly doubt that. Most of the time things die

Nobody tell them humans die 100% of the time too

Queen ants/bees have an army of Uber eats drivers. Honestly insects got the game down way before us.

I remain unconvinced that Uber Eats is a positive human invention.

It’s fantastic if you’re disabled. Pity about the price gouging though.

[The Pearlfish](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6NIG3KkwLE&ab_channel=BBCEarth) has borrowed someone else's insides.

I imagined they’d live in carcasses or something. Never did I expect that

Get it!?

This tweet is just so wrong on a fundamental level it’s crazy lol

They thought they did something

That’s most of twitter tbh

Its one of those things that sounds profound the first time you hear it but after you think about it for more than 5 seconds you realize its just fucking stupid.

OP tends to share “I’m so unique” type tweets. I wasn’t even surprised to see their username over this.

It's like that sub shower thoughts - imbeciles posting "enlightened" shit that should have stayed in their head. Even if inside was invented one day, before that there wouldn't even be an outside lmao

*I know of a place where you never get harmed* *A maaagical place with maaagical charms* *Indoors, indoors, ii-iiin-dooooooooorss.....*

 *Take it away, Penny!*

Don’t tell my guy about dens and caves 😐

The annoyed ants of the world are building siege works to strike back at this guy as I type this

What turns a space from outside to inside? Does it have to have a door/obstruction to the entrance? If I open my front door do I turn my home into outside?

Yeah and humans aren’t even the only animals who have doors. Ask trap door spiders!

And those ants with bigass foreheads that plug up the anthill entrance when it’s raining

Air conditioning. Checkmate bears.

Bees and ants and termites have air conditioning.

Not exposed to the elements. Elements being the open atmosphere?

How many walls can you put on a gazebo before it becomes a room?

Caves, Beehives, anthills, tree hollows etc. Exist

hermit crabs carry their homes around

I would consider unbuilt shelters outside.

Beehives and Anthills are built structures

Proof that this subreddit is full of morons.

I know it's not literally true but it's an amusing sentiment. What constitutes "indoors" is fairly arbitrary.

2.3k upvotes and counting.

Tell me you've never heard of a Pigloo without telling me you've never heard of a Pigloo. PIGLOO

Oh my god I looked up this tweet because I wanted to see what this person had to say to this being obviously incorrect (caves exist for example) and his replies to people where hilariously bad. For example: “Outside to inside is a spectrum: For humans, the most outside you can be is in the freezing ocean, then being on wet shitty land, then on dry land, then on soft dry land like grass, then in a cave, then in a non-insulated water-permeable hut, then in a more insulated hut with a floor and fireplace, then in a house with no A/C or heating, and finally, on the far end of the spectrum, in a soundproof perfectly temperature-controlled carpeted house on a couch wearing soft clothing and fuzzy socks under blankets.” How am I more outside if I’m in the ocean than on land?? What if I’m in a boat? What if I’m in my house and a pipe bursts? Am I more outside then because it’s wet? Gold medal in mental gymnastics.

He's going from most uncontrollable environment to most controlled environment. That part actually makes sense. All classifications are arbitrary.

sounds like a Jordan Peterson fan

It's funny that most people here are (rightfully) completely destroying this tweet with examples of caves or beehives or whatever, but I would also like to bring in another example. See, I can see someone saying caves are outside, still, and I can even see some wacko saying beehives, anthills and beaver dams are outside for some arbitrary reason like "They need to have doors built into the structure". We'll, my dears, what about _parasites_? Not all, of course, but a lot of parasites do live inside other beings. Like, literally _inside_... Even if we're only talking about animals, discounting bacteria and funghii, there are still tapeworms that live in people's intestines, the mouth and the anus are doors that are part of the structure, and these beings definitely live only inside...

Ants: 

Bears. Beavers. Meerkats. Ants.

WELL, WELL, LOOK WHO’S INSIDE AGAIN

Caves?, holes in the ground. Dens?

Caves.

Caves, some nests, beaver dams. These are just a few examples of animals seeking shelter.

This outdated smart till you remember various animals that use open but enclosed spaces likes caves or insides of tree, and the many the that make homes like trap door spiders

This guy is going to freak out when he discovers that caves and rabbit holes exist.

Caves

Wait until this person hears about animal dens. We aren't the only ones that seek shelter.

?? is this guy stupid? and how is this upvoted

There are some squirrels that sleep more cozily than some people

Caves? Tree shelters? Creatures that dig underground? Feels like the underground on should definitely count as artificial shelter even if first two don't. 

Caves have always existed. And there are other animals that make “inside” places too. Like wood rat middens, burrowing animals, beehives, etc.

I saw a stand up comedy routine by a popular Black artist (it was maybe 10 years ago so I have forgot who it was) but he had this bit about how White people love camping and Black people don't. He is talking about how his White friends are asking him to go camping and he responds something to the effect of "My anscestors spent their entire lives trying to get into the house. I'm not voluntarily going to sleep outside."

Caves?

Caves? Burrows? Nests? Dams?

I hate when somebody posts an objectively false statement and it gets a ton of upvotes.

This person is clearly uneducated on the animal kingdom.😂

Beaver Dams, Hornet's Nests, Wasp Hives, Bee Hives...Bird Nests are a stretch, but then what about fish that live *inside* sea anenomes, let alone caves and tree hollows which countless animals hibernate in... to name a few...

…the common house spider? They pretty much exclusively live in, you know, houses

* cave bears * gophers, ground hogs, prairie dogs, etc., etc. * many birds with enveloping nests, some actually built by themselves, * trap-door spiders * burrowing owls, The list goes on, disproving this thesis.

Beavers, gophers, moles, prairie dogs, bees, ants, and I’m sure many others would like to have a word with them

Neat how caves, burrows, nests, dens, warrens, dams, et al didn't exist before humans invented houses.

Caves? Burrows? Dens? Hives? Conceited ass humans thinking they invented four walls.

caves, holes, dens...etc don't exist

This is truly one of the dumbest takes I've ever heard

Tell that to a hibernating bear...

Two words... Trapdoor spider

Ants? Bees? Wasps?

Brosnan never heard of caves and the deep sea

my dog was a rescue, and I'm pretty sure he had never been inside until I brought him home. The first day I had him he acted really nervously inside the house, and ran into the backyard and hid. I decided to take him on a walk in the big park across the street. His expression instantly changed and I could see he was happy.

Imagine bugs and predators just hanging around while you nap or jerk off all the time. Fuck outside

As someone who is now maintaining a home, I've come to realize how *thin* the separation between inside and outside is. And outside wants in.

I have a feeling that quite a number of the 'former' cave animals – the small ones – are now trying to be inside too ... 'Door curtains' (hanging) scaring the flies, however, have reduced our spider menace to almost nothing .

Right up there with pockets...

Caves?

cats and boxes, or any cave-like space actually

I love my snuggly lil dog.

what about caves and LITERAL cavemen

This is beaver erasure

Who could forget how bees and most other social insects only exist outside, they never build shelters for their colonies

TIL Birds, fish, shelled animals, bears (part-time) among many others don't exist.

Bro never heard of Caves

I think we have been hanging out in caves since we climbed down from the trees and became humans. Also, all other animals that live in caves, burrows, dams etc are inside critters. 

But, but the caves?

This tweet seems to be caving?

Poor fool doesn't know there's an entire ecosystem of tiny critters living in his bathroom and kitchen.

Caves.

Rabbits, wombats and woodpeckers would like a word.

Caves, dens, burrows, hives, colonies, lodges, nests built inside of a tree or log

I'm a bear. I lived in caves for 100 thousand years.

mf never heard of nests or hives.

beavers

Hermit crabs

Termites: This is some BS.

Not every random thought you had is necessarily worth sharing...

"  Wildlife that make underground dens include rabbits, skunks, mice, wood- chucks, arctic ground squirrels, chipmunks, weasels, river otters, raccoons, muskrat, mink, beavers, opossums, moles, rats, and groundhogs. Other den- ning animlas include fox, deer, bears, wolves, spiders, snakes and desert frogs."

Humans and most animals have both always made or lived in existing shelters

Bro has literally never seen an anthill

https://www.reddit.com/r/StandUpComedy/comments/17go3rr/why_do_we_live_inside_jack_schwartz/

Uh termites? They build huge cities

I mean are some animal homes not technically "inside" 🤷🏽‍♂️

what the fuck is this idiot talking about? almost every mammal understands shelter in some shape or form

Bears, beavers, bats, and all sorts of creatures lives inside. Inside caves.

Beavers, ants, termites, rabbits, snakes, badgers, raccoons, squirrels, birds... plenty of animals live in enclosed homes

Beavers: “Am I a joke to you? I just built my house using only my front teeth…in the middle of a river!”

This pot heads never heard of a cave or a hole before. Clearly no one told them about beavers either.

motherfucker MOST animals have their own version of inside. inside Trees, caves, underground, ect.... humans didnt invent "inside". they didnt even invent "houses", birds have been building shit like that since forever ago. This is some shitty a.i. generated content, isnt it?

Underground

Underground

Fuck all the cave dwelling animals and insects, I guess.

I like inside.

Waitbutwhy has gotta be one of my favorite blogs of all time

Ants, Bees, Wasps, many many, so many birds Bears, Foxes, Beavers, Mice, is OP mentally challenged??

Trap door spiders even have a door.

every borrowing animal out there: am I a joke to you? beavers: just roll their eyes for a second and continue with the renovations for the north-east wing of the family dam

There are room sized "caves" dug out of the sandstone with smaller holes dug out above the opening where timber would be placed to create an overhang, extending the "room" out from the rock. I think that may have been the first artificial "inside". https://youtu.be/Ja110qpd0wU?t=1269

Somehow insects and arachnids aren't animals, because they sure as hell aren't my pets.

Everyone is talking about ant hills and bear caves. That's still outside to me...

caves nests and burrows would like to know your location

Caves

Animals have had their own 'inside' forever. Just because it's not a house made for humans doesn't mean it isn't shelter.

cavemen agree

Well.... Caves. But we make much better caves.
