Internet as an art

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

I will introduce more rules later and when I finish doing that I will make an announcement post about that.

For overall temporary guide check out the rules here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hmmm/wiki/rules/

I won't be moving all of them here but I will keep most of them.

With all these experts in the comments, I now want the original sauce and to follow up to see what actually will happen.

YouTube recommended a video of this to me yesterday. The straps are anchored with cement. Seems like it buys him X additional mph of wind speed compared to his neighbors. We'll see if the winds are in that "more than a regular roof can handle but less than the straps can hold" range.

Yyy, I've heard all the theoretical arguments. I now want to witness the experiment live. Or on camera.

you can do a pretty simple small scale test, with something like popsicle stick houses, and instead of wind loading, static loading against the wall. It won't scale perfectly, but it should demonstrate the concept.
