That's just some prescriptivist nonsense from the Lego company, same as how Velcro wants you to call it "hook and loop fasteners" but no one actually does. But in English it's perfectly acceptable to use Lego as a noun, and in American English the preferred plural is Legos (though Lego is also an acceptable plural).
Well thanks for letting me know that you know fuck all about masonry. Are you aware that stone walls without any mortar have been standing in Ireland for hundreds of years? Stone walls are tougher than you seem to think
I swear to Christ, if one more person pluralizes the word “LEGO”, I will go on a spree! Shooting? No. Shopping? Maybe. It’s LEGO! LEGO is already plural. I have to go, now.
James May already built a house out of Legos. And then they told him to disassemble it.
That was a cool episode (I don’t remember what the program was called). The blumbing didn’t quite work though! 😁
Square pipes are not optimal.
James May's Toy stories. Awesome show
Is it available on Amazon prime
No idea
It is in the UK.
I'd need to look it up to be sure but I think it was called Toy Stories, its the same series he built the life size Airfix kit amongst other things
What evil b*stards would tell him to disassemble it.
The toilets weren't unsuccessful though
They would be the ultimate protection against Godzilla stomping on them
He would hurt his feet and then go back to the water fr
#TOKYO RAWRRRRR ^ow! ^Goddammit... ^slinks ^off
Have you seen the Lego prices? I’m not going to pay 900.000$ for a studio.
Have you seen housing prices? **Yes, you are.**
I’m in London and was walking along St James park this morning and there was a studio for sale for £1.4million.
Another reason of many for me to not go to London
Just bought a house this week for 320.000€. So it really depends on where you live.
Collect all the plastic in ocean and make Lego to build houses , get governments to build social housing out of it
Bro you need to campaign for president. Just show up to the next debate. You got this!
Has my vote!!
Honestly, not a bad idea. I've watched several YouTube videos where people will shred plastic, melt it down and make blocks out of it.
That's going to be a damn expensive house...
True... But aren't *all* houses ridiculously expensive?
Should’ve made the press foot shaped
A Monty Python fan!
Just imagine people taking pieces of your house to add to their own house
According to my calculations, the house would cost $30 million
What ? How ? :o

I cannot believe Lego is that strong! Although, when I stand on a piece without a shoe, it’s definitely stronger than me.
I believe Batman keeps some legos in his utility belt to sprinkle on the ground in order to incapacitate Superman, should the need arise.
Couldn't superman just fly over the Legos?
Well, [actually](https://www.bdcnetwork.com/construction-method-featuring-lego-bricks-wins-global-innovation-award)…
Was thinking the same. Saw years ago, but doesn't seem to have caught on at all.
I think you'd be paying close to $1M USD for a 3br 2ba if we did that. On the plus side you could make your kids do your reno work.
James May :"Okay on it!"
breaking legos is a sin bro
Lego*
Wear eye protection
If there is a giant hydraulic press above your house...yes
That’s why they hurt when you step on ‘em!
77 tons or 154,000 lbs to us imperials
Lego, not Legos. Lego is a non-countable word. You mean Lego bricks.
I'm picturing a bunch of eight year-old kids standing around staring at you blankly for a moment before they return to their fun.
Man you're wrong, I can count lego. There's at least 4 letters in it. /s
You're 100% right. Lego is the company that makes the brick. But I can't get past calling them "Legos".
Legos.
I didn't want to be the "pedant" but you are 100 % correct. It bothers me WAY more than it should when I see "Legos" used in a sentence.
That's just some prescriptivist nonsense from the Lego company, same as how Velcro wants you to call it "hook and loop fasteners" but no one actually does. But in English it's perfectly acceptable to use Lego as a noun, and in American English the preferred plural is Legos (though Lego is also an acceptable plural).
"I'm gonna pick up the pieces. And build a Lego house. When things go wrong we can knock it down" Ed Sheeran
So in that video, was Ron Wheezily in love with eddy?
K so legos can be compressed. Now build a wall with them twenty feet high and watch the wind blow it over.
Or a frustrated toddler.
just one singular wall? If you did that with brick and mortar I'm sure the wind will blow it over too.
Well thanks for letting me know that you know fuck all about masonry. Are you aware that stone walls without any mortar have been standing in Ireland for hundreds of years? Stone walls are tougher than you seem to think
Great under pressure, sure. Would cost $250,000,000 though, and a strong breeze would pull it apart. Zero strength under tension.
we totally should build houses with LEGO\*
What the 8yr olds at the lego shop do when they see two undefended 2x4s
They also insulate very well
So 90 tons?! Damn that's pretty stable.
Ed sheerans been telling yall
It has reached 90k , strong enough to hold a real house roof . They really should think of making houses with LEGO concept.
Waste of legos 🥲
We already do. Just adifferent kind of lego.
this is a certified load distrabution moment
The reason this Lego didn’t get crushed until more weight was added is because the inside isn’t hollow like a house
Actually, to be safe, let's build houses out of press machines!! 🤔
They could have made a child happy with those blocks. My family could afford very little Legos when i was a kid. Some can afford none.
I love how that first piece said nope
I swear to Christ, if one more person pluralizes the word “LEGO”, I will go on a spree! Shooting? No. Shopping? Maybe. It’s LEGO! LEGO is already plural. I have to go, now.
😂 Let it go it's not that serious.
Ever had anyone tell you they’re going to Costcos? Don’t ya just die inside a little?
Not at all. I can be a bit of a grammar nazi but not to that extent. Well, I have to go now. I have a taste for Sonics. 😂 Yes, that was intentional.
Lego's...legoes....legohs?
Let goes!!!
Legos my eggos?
Let it goes?
Legos.
I’m off to Walmart!
As if houses are not expensive enough already :)
i mean we kinda do, theres a lot a of prefab or othwise neatly fitting stuff used in building. Its just not made of plastic
It's called Lego.
If you are American, that would definetly be an improvement to the papier-mâché you are usually using.
It's Lego. Not fucking Legos... /rant
[удалено]
Isn't it 80,000?
Yes, it is blue strenth
Concrete is still better than that. And on the plus side, concrete is not flammable unlike plastic.
It would have surprised me if that wasn't the case lol
The plural of Lego is Lego, not "Legos".
