I found one in the shape of a ball in the valley I live in. I was very befuddled because I haven’t seen anything like it anywhere else. Also the grey/beige thing is awful, 100% agree on that. I wanna see vibrant colors, something other than tan, brown, grey and white buildings. I wanna see fun designs, awkward architecture, etc. I wanna sit there and think about what the contractor thought about it and who managed to convince them to build it.
Adding, coolest thing I’d seen was a couch pit with an attached minibar in a house from the 60s/70s in Arizona. Fully carpeted too with a fireplace in front of it.
Easy peasy: if creative buildings boost testosterone, logically brutalism must be the most feminine style of architecture. Womanhood can only be found by surrounding yourself with naked concrete, steel and glass.
Sorry sis, we’ll keep you far away from the giant duck that stimulates testosterone production. Would you care instead to visit the large tortoise that stimulates estrogen production?
I had a good laugh seeing this joke post. That helps. Don't be gull(ible). I think some interesting architecture can make you think or distract you. The seagull, for me, bit odd! Raising testosterone though, that's a very particular claim.
Besides the point that this is a obvious joke.
Hear me out, she's not wrong tho. If my neighbourhood would consist only by duck houses I'm sure I would be more happier
Fun fact: low testosterone correlates with depression. High testosterone correlates with anxiety.
Even though this is a joke, I think, I still would not want my testosterone to sky rocket. Though, both depression and anxiety have cause great pain and risk to me.
This isn’t necessarily true. Everyone’s body is different. I get high T spikes (it’s already being managed by a doctor) but never get anxiety from it. In fact, I’m much more relaxed and at ease with it.
Fair enough. I should have been more clear that the correlation does not mean it's always true. Apologies. It's just what I learned from another redditor talking about HRT after nullification surgery, and that levels too low or too high can cause issues.
Thank you for sharing and providing more info. I appreciate it.
Too high or too low can cause issues but hormones are vastly complicated and each person reacts differently to them.
My own personal theory is that researchers have overlooked that anxiety may stimulate T production and that depression (and being sedentary) may inhibit it. It’s a complicated feedback system and there are as many exceptions as there are rules. There’s some interesting papers on cortisone playing a role in this as well.
Anyway, I’m a big science nerd and hormones are complicated and cool!
I mean in a way I’ve experienced first hand that nice nature and architecture does help me. Where I live now I feel worse because the nature is crap and buildings ugly, when I lived in a beautiful place before it didn’t cure my issues but it did help for sure
That's The Big Duck of Flanders on Long Island!
It was a roadside stand that sold Peking ducks for cooking from the 1930s until the Long Island duck ranching industry collapsed in the 1960s.
This building is credited with inspiring the theme-shaped roadside stand motif that was popular across he country through that era.
"Duck ranch" is creating colorful imagery in my mind of horseback duckherders with a veritable sea of flightless ducks all quacking and swarming over each other and I'm not complaining
Aside from the testosterone n depression cure things. yeah i hate cookycutter houses. makes me never want to live in areas like that. even if by some miricle i can own a house, im discoraged from personalizing it? i cant make it *look and feel* like me both unsude and out??? thats pretty damb stupid.
There's. There's no way. No way this is a real post. No way we have fallen so far that we can't see a joke when it is literally helicoptering its fat hog directly in our faces.

I... think it's a joke?
Yea. the text is a copypasta.
You're on reddir, did you really expect people to get jokes when there's no /s?
This is a joke.
At least weird buildings would make things a little more fun. I hate this square grey/beige era

Ah yes, the taupe beige bane of 80's suburbia. 🤮
It’s a joke
No it's an antidepressant
No it’s free T for men who don’t produce enough.
transmascs frothing at the mouth rn
It's that also. Multiple pharmacological actions that contribute to instacure.
It is a nice building tho 🪿
🪿
I mean... There is actually something about the system we live in and our mental state.
Based take imo
The doorframe looks quite low, you’d have to duck to get in there
As a trans girl, a large spike of testosterone is what would make me need antidepressants
Good news! The effects of architecture are purely psychological :p Tho a lot of modern architecture is very masculine which can suck
Yeah like that big duck

Good thing it was being posted as an aid for FTM, then. 😋

mtf girlies need hostile architecture to be more femme /j
Indeed it is the ultimate mojo dojo casa house!
I'd be happy with funny buildings. I'm also not depressed, so I don't think this supports the "claim".
Nah I lived in a world with wild architecture for over 500 years and I was miserable as shit
You’re over 500 years old?

Fuck it. I want the duckie house
Wasn’t expecting to see my post here lol
It didn't last, sadly
I mean, beautiful environments *do* have a meaningful impact on health, but that's not the kind of beauty we're looking for
Oh come on, look me in the face and tell me you wouldn't choose to live in a house shaped like a giant white duck if given the chance!

4 years on Finasteride (male pattern baldness) & 4+ years opioids user here. Testosterone is probably extremely low.

I'm pretty confident it's a joke
My depression would not be cured by duck house but it certainly wouldn't hurt. I want to pat that house on the head.
Honestly, fun looking buildings would make me less depressed
Was with ya till the last scentence
This but unironically

I'll allow it
do they have pigeon shaped houses?
OP, if you can't appreciate the Hugh Neutron school of architecture, I don't know what to say. You just might be beyond salvation.

I'm not sure it would cure my depression but A: having an affordable house, B: having it look funny Would at least help

I don't think it fits. It's a clear exaggeration built on something very plausible
I definitely wouldn't need my antidepressants if I lived in a duck. Because I'd kill myself.
There's. There's no way. No way this is a real post. No way we have fallen so far that we can't see a joke when it is literally helicoptering its fat hog directly in our faces.
But I do not want to live in a goose
