There was a house near where I grew up that was 3/4 under ground. Only the front facing wall was exposed. They claimed almost zero ac/heat costs unless it was just extreme heat/cold. It was hilarious to see them mow the top of the house

If a wizard comes knocking on your door, don't answer it.

There was a similar domicile in my area back in the 80s that collapsed due to heavy rains. The occupant was sleeping on the sofa and died.

I stayed in a fairy chimney in Cappadocia for a week in summer and it was great, no AC needed.

Had to look up what a fairy chimney was because I’d never heard the term, that sounds so cool!

You have startled the developer. Just put the coffee down and walk away. He'll come back out when he's ready.

It’s like a tribe of Mountain Smurfs live there.

Pareidolia is playing tricks on me; I'm either seeing a huge nose sniffing up that house, or that rock has a face.

Of course it has a rock face.

Even the house under a rock got satellite TV.

Probably significantly cooler in there than the house next door that isn't under a rock

the caption is alluding to the phrase "living under a rock" which figuratively means "isn't up to date with what's going on"...

so the caption says they didn't hear about whatever the person is talking about because they're literally living under a rock.
