This is why the Japanese use rain chains....

That AI voice is so grating. I'm not sure why it got so popular. Unnecessarily aggressive.

Very noisy and let water pool around your house, rather than direct it to a drain. these chains are a relic from the days of no proper sewer. Very few Japanese houses have these anymore.

Way to ruin your foundation and have water in your basement.

Except the entire point of a gutter system is to direct water away from the home. This just gives a straight shot to the foundation.

Until your foundation gets fucked

Easier for racoons to climb and nest in your attic

Bro, this location is in USA Trump’s America, Best America

OK. Makes sense

Depends on your location. If your soil can’t drain well, this is a horrible idea. However, if you live in the south west regions, it could be a good solution to keeping your foundation soil saturated properly.

If you don’t think that tiny ass hole is gonna clog with leaves you’re crazy.

How do you ensure it’s draining away from the house foundation?

Currently live in Japan, I have never seen a house with these lol

Here you can get it👇

They are cool, but not when it's windy also.

Seen few in Kerala India too, looks nice irl

We don’t need the “much easier to install”, we need the most effective…

@frenlyfritz

Drain pipes are ment to drain water away from your house so the basement doesn’t flood, this just lets it puddle up.

We have that also in Germany.

"because they are made of metal they help melt ice faster" You obviously never had your hands stuck to metal that had been left in the snow.

I love how the voice talks about why they're popular in Japan and doesn't show a single example of one in that country. All of these look like they're in the United States.

Why not just a hole?

Hoax factory. This is not Japan.

いや、日本人だけど、こんなの見たことありません。😓

Okay, what's the throw back of this?

Why not just a hole?

I live in California what is rain?

What's the principle? It looks amazing

Everything is well explained in the video

I think I’m going to try this 🤔

c'est joli mais vous gaspillez l'eau de pluie

都市部では見かけない。 とても田舎にある、おじいちゃん、おばあちゃん家ぐらいかな。 だからとてもノスタルジーな気持ちになった。

観賞用なんだね

Still dumping gutter runoff right next to your foundation. Idiots

It's a cool idea

@grok what's the life expectancy of a rain chain? How often do they break from rust, erosion, and/or animal involvement?
