    Ok so one thing I’ve always wondered about the Flintstones. Did he just hollow out a big boulder? The house isn’t made of piled up rocks, it appears to be one big single rock.

      Based on the show’s content, they probably used Bronto-Jackhammers to split the rocks and finished it off with stone hand tools.

      It’s obviously just a picture made up to fit the aesthetic without great thought to worldbuilding, but if you ignore the perspective it could be made of multiple vertical sheets of rock.

        Yeah, if you’re watching Hannah Barbera cartoons looking for detailed animation and well thought out worlds, you’ve gone to the wrong place lol

      I think in the movie they show houses being made with stacked layers of rock chiseled out like a 3d printer

      It was Buckminster Fuller cement home. I couldn’t find a link for them, but they were made from a mold and looked sort of like that.
