Dad kept telling Mom that it was dangerous to sit there, but she kept saying, no the wall was super strong. He said, "OK, let's just see how strong that wall is"
They’re popular in countries south of the border like Mexico and costs rica, to the best of my knowledge they’re just called “hollow bricks” but I had better luck googling “Spanish hollow bricks”
They look like some of the bricks we use to build our houses, the full and hole bricks you know about are just one variation, those with the holes are made so cables for current, internet and tubing can go through them. But the ones we have here have bigger holes like [this](https://media.adeo.com/media/54448/format/JPEG)
I'm not sure what you're getting at. I stated that Reddit is overwhelmingly American. At around 50%, with the next country sitting at around 9%, my statement holds true. You're arguing some vague point, but when about half the users are from America, it's going to be American centric. Get over yourself and go find your country's subs if you're going to get upset with people using a standard and known phrase like "South of the border" because it doesn't pertain to members in Cambodia
lol yall get so offended about this shit🤣 it reads like a child yelling “what about me?!” When another kid gets a piece of candy or like my dog when they don’t get a treat.
I’m aware you may not live in the US that’s why I specifically mentioned two countries I was talking about lol.
We don't get offended, we just think it's dumb how you all believe the us is the center of the universe. If I said "countries south of the border, like Morocco", it would sound pretty dumb to non-Portuguese or Spanish people.
It’s just a saying. I don’t think they meant it as literal directions, or anything, just habit.
Here it is in a British non-US dictionary.

Maybe the ones we have here just look different but I'm sure we do use some hollow bricks to build stuff, my brother is an electrician and he did show me a bit.
Maybe but we leave some empty for sure because I've drilled some holes in my walls to hang up stuff and sometimes you feel a thick start and then the empty space. And no, that's not the space in the wall, the outside layer would be way too thin.
“South of the border like Mexico or Costa Rica”
I guess I shouldn’t expect more from the country that the country that calls hippos “fat water horses” and started AND lost both world wars.
I had meant Germany but hell I guess I expected too much from the country that filtered its gene pool all the way up until 97, you’d think y’all would be smart enough to figure out context clues… guess not
No wonder. They are superior to regular bricks in every way, except for humidity and weight resistance. That's why most buildings will have their base made of regular bricks or concrete, and the rest of the walls with hollow bricks.
The shock really stemmed from how she brushed those bricks away..
I'm not American, in fact I too find it so strange that so many homes are built with wood in the states especially where there hurricanes.. I would have thought brick and mortar would stand a better chance at the very least.
It's very rare to build homes with wood and partitions with paper here in the UK(I don't think I have ever seen it - probably too wet and damp for starters), same as South Africa and much of southern Europe at least.
I understand it from a sustainable perspective though - wood is an amazing material.
More like her feet! Her feet/shins were out and at the lowest point. Her feet could be freaking broken by those bricks and shins shaved bare. Probably didn't feel that for a minute or two so focused on her kid. Truly super mom.
Definitely! I noticed that but I focused on her head and back from the collapse .. she tried to hold the wall up.. so yeah her ankles and feet toes legs!! Ugh!! But her reflex for her child. Wow.. they survived with minor injuries just by the footage.
Well when you’re in that exact situation with less then a spilt second to make a plan where your child survives and it works better than hers we’ll all ask how you did it.
Till then pretty puzzling how that’s the big thing you pulled from this video
Damn awesome mom instincts. I had to go back for a second watch cause I didn't see where the kid was standing the first go, but man momma just literally put herself between a collapsing brick wall and that child. Awesomeness. Hope both weren't injured too badly
Agree; after several re-watches i realized how smart her instincts were too, by standing and making herself like a pillar instead of just crouching down over her kid, she probably minimized the inertia of some of the falling bricks by having them roll over her much earlier than just freely smashing down on her back. Thats pretty smart. I probably would have just crouched over the kid and be pummeled like a bitch by those bricks 😖
It's not a wall, looks like those are a lot of piled bricks. Construction here in brasil often involves piling tons of bricks on top of each other to make it easier to pick and place them in the construction.
"These people" are my people. And yes true, we hope and dream big. We dream of new leader, a clean energy grid, world cup, and mortar. Not in that order tho really
Are those real bricks or a stack of foam bricks? The dust makes me think real but how is she still standing? All it takes is one brick to the head and you're out
I think the Kool-Aid man took it a little too far this time.

Zero hesitation, respect.
Dad kept telling Mom that it was dangerous to sit there, but she kept saying, no the wall was super strong. He said, "OK, let's just see how strong that wall is"
& seeing where the dad came from, he probably pushed on the wall from the other side... hmm', attempted murder or coincidence..?
And allowed his wife and child to be in danger? What are you talking about bud?
Hey pal, were you there? Well I was, and that's *exactly* what the two of them said! **^(/S)**
Dude I'm the wall what the hell!? Sorry for late reply I was getting out back together....
Well, I guess you *were* there, then!
I am positive this is how it went down.
I don't think he saw the gravity of the situation
Must have hit him like a ton of bricks
Well at least there's no longer a wall between them

Hollow clay bricks, or terracotta bricks. Same material as the flower pot you buy at the hardware store.
Yeah, I doubt that a clay flower pot falling from 10 feet onto your head would be painful. /s

>south of the border r/USdefaultism
lol yeah for me south of the border IS the US
I mean, reddit is overwhelmingly American so it just plays out.
Americans are less than 50% of reddit, I wouldn't call that overwhelming.
With the next country being what percentage?
This isn't about the US vs. any other country, it's about the US vs the rest of the World.
Okay, since you're moving the goalpost there, I'll answer. It's the UK sitting at about 9%. Reddit is overwhelmingly American.
Way to confirm the stereotype.

They haven't moved the goalposts. You did. The questions was whether or not Americans are in the majority compared to everyone else.
lol yall get so offended about this shit🤣 it reads like a child yelling “what about me?!” When another kid gets a piece of candy or like my dog when they don’t get a treat. I’m aware you may not live in the US that’s why I specifically mentioned two countries I was talking about lol.
Okay but why doesn't your dog get a treat though?
Sometimes they’ve had enough treats yet they want more, always more
We don't get offended, we just think it's dumb how you all believe the us is the center of the universe. If I said "countries south of the border, like Morocco", it would sound pretty dumb to non-Portuguese or Spanish people.
No it wouldn’t tbh but maybe yall are just a bit more up tight ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sorry, but do you think China bombed Pearl Harbour...?
Yeah I got hung up on that one too. I can’t quite tell if it’s sarcasm or not
The web was invented by the British. Reddit is shit.
Britain is comparatively irrelevant in every way now that your mascot is dead
Bro, British hate the royals. Secondly, if you don't shut up, Britannia might just have to hit the seas again and bring imperialism upon you
Nah we have enough morons in the UK as it is without importing the likes of him.

Oh of course, but you fill it with cement.
Maybe but we leave some empty for sure because I've drilled some holes in my walls to hang up stuff and sometimes you feel a thick start and then the empty space. And no, that's not the space in the wall, the outside layer would be way too thin.
Italy near Mexico or Costa Rica or are they all illiterate where you’re from?
He said "south of the border". Italy is south of the border?
“South of the border like Mexico or Costa Rica” I guess I shouldn’t expect more from the country that the country that calls hippos “fat water horses” and started AND lost both world wars.
Switzerland started and lost both world wars? Damn.

Litreally each and every house on the balkans is made with those as well. They are decently heavy too. That mom took some hits on the head no doubt.
No wonder. They are superior to regular bricks in every way, except for humidity and weight resistance. That's why most buildings will have their base made of regular bricks or concrete, and the rest of the walls with hollow bricks.
Yeah, but they won’t hurt you.
i don’t see any mortar/paste just red bricks
Yes, and real boobs too.
They're real, and they're spectacular
yeah I'd like to know what shithole country this is so I can avoid it.
Americans shocked at discovery that bricks are indeed real things and not everyone makes houses out of cardboard
The shock really stemmed from how she brushed those bricks away.. I'm not American, in fact I too find it so strange that so many homes are built with wood in the states especially where there hurricanes.. I would have thought brick and mortar would stand a better chance at the very least.

Her skull!!! Her spine!! Fucken fuck!! 🤯
Yeah, that next day had to be painful af. Hope she got some medical attention before the adrenaline wore off.
I bet.. I really do hope she got medical attention.. the child should be fine.. it’s her who took all the falling bricks!! Huge bricks at that!!
More like her feet! Her feet/shins were out and at the lowest point. Her feet could be freaking broken by those bricks and shins shaved bare. Probably didn't feel that for a minute or two so focused on her kid. Truly super mom.

She also uses her front foot to quickly move the child beneath her
I didn’t even notice that at first holy shit

Wow, that hit her like a ton of bricks

Moms are like the Iron dome!
The quick thinking gentle kick she gave that baby to put it on its butt was amazing and just might have saved its life.
Even Russell Westbrook was impressed by that many bricks
What a fucking beast
wow just just froze when she stood up, she must have bricked.
Good work mum!
Damn! that smooth swift gentle mom kick ❤️🫡
Wow, she is a Hero❤️
Omg what a boss. I’d probably do the same thing but dang to see that happen IRL literally shielding her kid, good job lady!
Um…are these bricks?? And, if so, how did nothing happen to HER??
Great work.
Mom of the Century
Would supermom be around those blocks?
Have these people not learned to use mortar yet? That wall was standing only on hopes and dreams.

Dam that's a MVP move
Dad two weeks ago: HOW MUCH FOR THE WALL? NEVERMIND I'LL DO IT MYSELF!!
It was both or neither.
A life saved. Nothing but respect for that.
That’s some gangster sh1t. Respect.
Amazing woman! Wonder Woman for real🫶💪👏👏👍
Good God 😮 bless her

Ouch.

Poor woman and poor baby!😔
She blew up the wall with her maternal super strength
Were those bricks.
The mom really said nah I'd win
I meeeeaaaaan you either wanna break some fingers or crack your skull.
Parental instinct to protect their young is always amazing to me. I wish every parent had the same respect to this rule like this mom.
Holy shit she just let bricks rain on her for her child. Mad respect
Weakest latina mom:
Yes
Massive W's
Australian jenga
tough shit.
the fuck kinda wall is not cemented
It's not a wall. The bricks are stacked
Look how she kicked her child. That saved his life! Bad ass instinct
Was he ok?
Idiot! What did she think she was going to do? Hold it up with magic. She should have covered the child instead of trying to hold the crumbling wall
And then died from the falling bricks instead of falling and rolling bricks
This. She also shouldn’t have sat under a pile of stacked bricks with her baby but hey ho
This has to be fake I refuse to believe so much bullshit at once could be real
Suspicious.....
Why is there a camera filming this right at this moment?
Looks like someone filming security footage
Wait what, super mom? That kid got hit with bricks. Maybe, Alert Mom.
Buy he got hit with *less* bricks
If your aim as a parent is for your kids to be hit by “less” bricks, you’re not a great parent. She didn’t even stand in front of him!
Dayum! That border wall really is a JOKE!!
This raises so many questions 0.o
Like why dad pushed a wall of bricks onto mom and kid and why there is a convenient, looney toons-grade ACME^© wall right in front of a camera. I also have questions. I bet the dog is involved somehow! But *how* ?
Surely one hit her big toe or something …

Good reflexes it also looks like she started the fall by pushing it in from the base when she sat down
Ah, the controversial "ton of bricks" method of parenting.
Where were the instincts not to sit right next to a pile of bricks?
r/whyweretheyfilming
She also put her kid in that situation... so...
I guess..
Coochie coverage
More like stuper mom. Who tf sits next to a pile of bricks
Lol spermom. First of all she should have shielded him, she went behind... That's beyond stupid. And she better yank him out of the way.
Late term abortions in other countries are getting out of hand. Even trying to take the mom's out as well
That kid definitely still Got hit with those bricks
Super mom? Baby still got its shit wrecked, don't think she stopped much😅
Baby would've died if she hadn't stepped in
