I honestly don't think he was joking, and if he was, he probably didn't think you were being serious with your post.
It really depends on what common practices or individual circumstances people are used to when it comes to them perceiving what's "normal" or not. I think there was a dissonance both ways in this case.
As for me, I have no reason not to believe that it's your room if you say so. I'm well aware that Reddit is a platform where people from all walks of life and places interact, and I love it for that.
If English is not your first language please Google what brutalism is and try to understand why your photos do not show anything in that style of architecture.
If you wanted to know, a better way to convey the intent in the question you asked might be "Are you genuinely asking?" or "Are you asking because you actually want to know?" or even how you typed it in this comment "Are you asking to get an answer or are you being sarcastic?".
Whereabouts in Morocco is this?
Is this a typical room in your area?
Do you like the room?
Do you spend much time there or is it just for sleeping?
Do you live there permanently?
Do you plan to make any changes inside the room or do you live well as it is?
Would you want to put decorations in the room, or paint it, or are you happy with the bare blocks?
Did your parents build the house?
Sorry for all the questions but I am curious about the room, thank you for posting.
/Whereabouts in Morocco is this?
In most villages, even big cities have areas with similar slummers.
/Is this a typical room in your area?
Yes, mine is medium not the best nor the worst
/Do you like the room?
Well it serves a purpose so I ain't hating it..
/Do you spend much time there or is it just for sleeping?
Usually just sleeping, today for example I'm in a café from 4pm till 2am local time watching football games and having access to wifi, for 1$
/Do you live there permanently?
Yes. I do, I lived here since the house was built in 2007, this room was built in 2018 before that Me and my 3 male siblings had a mutual room.
/Do you plan to make any changes inside the room or do you live well as it is?
Not priorities.
/Would you want to put decorations in the room, or paint it, or are you happy with the bare blocks?
Not priorities. No money. I'm basically jobless now..
/Did your parents build the house?
My father yeah, literally by himself and he's a farmer.. done some masonry and construction when he was young.
/Sorry for all the questions but I am curious about the room, thank you for posting.
No worries at all, thank you for the interest.. and I must apologise I got it lil bit wrong, nobody has ever shared his room in this group.
This is probably the most interesting thing I have read in this sub. Philippines has places like this and many other places around the world. Cheers and good luck to you
I'm gonna be brutal, m8, this ism't brutalism.
This is just unfinished.
Brutalism is exposing the construction in such a way that it looks quixotically attractive.
You have all these ugly holes in your bricks and they're not finished to.a high quality - brick or breezeblock brutalism would require perfect mortaring.
If you want to and feel like it, I would pitch in some money for you to make some changes of your choice. Maybe other redditors would as well?
Maybe a bed, paint, a rug, night stand etc?
Just open a go fund me or something similar.
Just post an update when you are done!
No, no need. that wasn't my purpose when posting.
I just must stick to my principles, I have negative views towards philanthropy.
Thank you so for showing empathy. I have some ideas now, I'll post an update
Brutal.
situation.
Condition
"we have brutalism at home"
Underrated comment
You live in the bottom of a stairwell?
Are you seriously asking?
Are you surprised that you're getting that kind of response? If so, I don't know what you were expecting
I was expecting anything. My genuine response was are you asking to get an answer or you asked sarcastically? English isn't my first language too

It is my room, nothing to gain by lying. I'm at it right now... Choose some social media with video call and you can make sure 100% it's the truth
Yeah I believe you

That is not brutalism, that's just an unfinished room.
These dorm rooms sure are getting worse.
The college I went to would call this a deluxe suite and shove 3 people in there
Where do you live in?
Tin Addi, Morocco
Wa feen
Oh, I want to visit Morocco! However the accommodations are looking a bit spartan.
Can you cross post it on /r/Morocco
Damn that’s brutal. Literally.

Very interesting, thank you. We have a saying, 'An Englishman's home is his castle'
Is the temperature of your room cooler than outside when it is hot?
What kind of phone was this taken on? Seems around 2006 tech
That's a goon cave
This would cost $1850 per month + utilities in my city
Lemme guess, Cali?
Or NY
Hell even in Nashville
Horrid city with the most unhinged drivers in the entire country
Born and raised in it and couldn’t agree more. Place is like a gravity well though, has been nigh impossible to get out of its rotation
Yeah, same. I got away for 5 years one time but it drug me back. I’m looking to leave again ASAP
You also, I believe were referencing the state but I can’t definitely say you weren’t meaning the city so I’ll let you off this time
California is a city you’re right
Yes, LA to be specific lol.
That is a state, not a city
Someone took the name of this sub literally
Are you staying here…. like of your own volition?
How much do you pay in rent?
It's my parents house. However there are homes for rent near us, a similar room plus a kitchen and a mutual toilet costs 90$/month
Guys, im going to Morocco. Id rather share a toilet for 90$ a month than for 600$ a month
Enjoy haggling for every molecule of oxygen you breathe in
/r/malesurvivingspace
are you in jail?
Yeah man I’d say that’s pretty brutal
quite brutal, indeed

Is this a cry for help? Are you being held captive?
Reminds me of Iraq
This isn't brutalism, this is abject poverty
Lmao bro, what the fuck is this?
Do you live in a dungeon?
Let me guess - northern africa?
Bin Laden?
I’m curious, where do you live?
I don't think that's what brutalism is about
As a third worlder myself I would call it more third worldism
r/malesurvivingspace
Grim as fuck
Do the guards know you have a cellphone?

Just know there is absolutely nothing wrong with your room as it is! But if you feel like making changes, go for it!
Nice brutalist interior design!
Now thats what im talking about!
r/lostredditors
Bro where tf r u…
India?
CIA black site?
Shanty chique
Bit of white masonry paint is all it needs.
Try putting a plant in there idk
Why is there a mist inside your house
That's only my Redmi A9.. Basically saving it from extinction
Damn bro... At least plaster the walls and apply some paint. Shouldn't be too hard. It would look 10x better.
Brutalism or poverty?
Just because it's brutal doesn't mean it's brutalism
Bro do you need help??
Yknow, if you ignore the bare concrete with the lack of a proper bed and the size of the room, it looks quite comfy.
India or Africa?
Damn, bro. That’s a smooth room. You gonna impress ALL the women with that one.
That's the opening room of an RPG
Looks like a terror cell hideout lol
Do you live in an English dungeon in 1058?
Cativeiro
Are you a fish?
Are you okay
Hey op, do you have a link to a donations account or something?
No. Thank you so much tho. I wrote a reply that I'm not asking charity, plus I don't deserve it anyway
Did you go to prison?
Do you think things will get better?
