They're right, a beach house isn't a dream. It's a nightmare.

Your house will constantly get sand inside. If there is a bit of wind your house gets sandblasted. You can't eat outside or seagulls will steal your food. Walking on sand is more difficult than walking on pavement or grass. You would have to be a madman to go live on a beach.

I guess it depends on where the beach house is located. I stayed at a beach house in San Diego for a week once in my 20's, and it was fucking amazing! That was one of the most fun weeks of my entire life. The short 2' wall in-between the beach and the house kept all of the sand out, and there weren't any seagulls. We sat on the porch drinking beer, BBQing, and inviting people who walked past to join us. It was paradise.

Sounds more like a vacation than living there. I think I’d like a beach house but probably wouldn’t after a month or two.

[–] pete_the_cat@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

Sand is also hot as fuck especially during the summer. I'm from New Jersey and I'm used to the sand being really hot on the beach during the late summer, to the point that you can barely stand on it.

I went down to South Florida during August and standing on the sand in bare feet was like standing on hot coals.

Edit: rereading this reminded me that even standing on the concrete outside of the pool in early August was unbearable. I initially didn't wear my sandals out because the entrance to the pool area from our hotel was like 100 feet and it was like 15-20 feet from the door to the water. BIG MISTAKE. It was probably the same temperature as the sand. I wouldn't doubt that the sand was 130F.

This article about South Beach said the said was 137F this August, around the time I was down there

Simple answer is to buy a beach house in Scotland then

[–] HollandJim@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (5 children)

Same. Fam had a home on LBI in the Terrace oceanside and the damn sand was fire in July & August. God forbid you tried to walk down onto the asphalt streets for the 6 houses up to yours.. it was hot and sticky as it would melt and you’d get tar on your feet (walking the curb was sanctuary).

Building my retirement house now on an island and I’ll be happy with .6km to the beach. I can still see the water and smell the salt air, and that’s great.

Also the sea salt will wreck electronics causing them to fail faster.

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 65 points 9 months ago

Seriously... There is nothing mild about this.

[–] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 35 points 9 months ago (6 children)

A quick google search shows that this is fake....

[–] breakfastmtn@lemmy.ca 152 points 9 months ago (2 children)

It's real in that this was actually produced by an Israeli construction company. It's fake in that this isn't actually happening or approved by the state.

[–] deleted@lemmy.world 22 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

The fact that the company did this and the government didn’t do anything about it gives me nazi vibes.

Add this to IDF and you get the big picture.

Also, Hitler wasn’t a bad guy overnight btw.

Yet. It isn’t happening yet. Them settlers will pay a premium for that beachfront. (Also, I’m reminded of that IDF instagram … uh… person… who posted something about “I need to come back in a bikini”

[–] Moonrise2473@feddit.it 48 points 9 months ago

Source? Because the company who posted this didn't deny and basically doubled back after saying it's a "joke"

Hey, it's Cyberpunk 2077's Pacifica in the making.

[–] FireWire400@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

From Pacifica? That trash from the sea no good, make you sick

[–] SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 32 points 9 months ago

Not the best moment to speak the quiet part (the robbery of land) out loud. Israeli society is falling into such a spiral of collective madness that many of them don't even realize how psychotic all of this is to the rest of the world.

[–] iquanyin@lemmy.world 24 points 9 months ago (1 children)

how do we know it’s real tho? who is the company running this ad and where is it running?

[–] MrConfusion@lemmy.world 59 points 9 months ago (2 children)

The ad is from the Israeli real estate company Harey Zahav. They posted this on their Instagram account. After criticism and backlash they claimed it was posted as a joke.

The Norwegian journalist collaborative fact checking service Faktisk.no has done a deep dive on this ad with a lot of detail if you want to check it out. You can read it using google translate (or similar tools) you are interested.

https://www.faktisk.no/artikler/jdplr/kraftige-reaksjoner-etter-spok-om-boligprosjekt-i-gaza

Some interesting facts from the article: the ad text says they are working to prepare for a return to Gush Katif, an earlier Israeli settlement in Gaza. The company is responsible for the development of settlements on the West Bank. The owner of the company lives in Moscow and seems to be an oligarch.

So based on the info in the linked in the article the ad is very real. And while the company behind it claims it was all a joke, that does seem a lot like damage control.

Wait in the end this is all just Russia stirring up shit? Shocked

[–] Denjin@lemmings.world 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Wow. That's bold. They said the quote part out loud. When the US invaded the Middle East it was only a poorly kept secret that it was for oil.

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 8 points 9 months ago (3 children)

That's gotta be bad advertising, surely? Like, even someone who hates the people who currently live there and so doesn't feel horrible about contributing to forcing them out, is still not going to want to go build in the ruins of a warzone I'd imagine?

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 28 points 9 months ago

The way some Israelis talk about Palestinians make it clear they see them as less than animals. It's pretty disgusting.

[–] yggdar@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I like your optimism, but no, they are actually serious.

There's no pic?

Edit: ok maybe I just had slow internet

They often fail to load for me too

[–] Masterblaster@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

half of my front page is blank. there's not even a pic now that i'm in the thread. it's still better than reddit.

[–] kernelle@0d.gs 6 points 9 months ago

Hmm, seems like a problem on your or your instances' side, never had any problems loading images, except when I purged too much of my instances' pictrs cache lmao
