As someone who comes from a country where houses aren't built from matchsticks and paper mache, what kind of wild Yankee invention am I looking at here?

He cut into the floor joists, which is not a good idea.

It's so much not a good idea that it was posted in the "Oops, that's Deadly" subreddit.

Some of us might need this reminder at times.

It took me a second to realize why this is funny, but then I saw what he did. Oh boy.

Honey? Why is the floor here so bouncy? Have you noticed how Gramma's wheelchair always rolls to the middle?

Oh, it was a special brand of stupidity at work here. Notching joists for mechanicals is normal and there are guidelines for doing so, but cutting the entire lumber width? Holy moly.

But the post originally mentions the ground, and judging by the uneven surface below and what looks like a small bunch of dried-up blades of grass, I assume it is indeed the ground underneath.

Which only makes me more confused. Why is there any accessible ground under the house's bottom floor? Where are the foundations? Did someone forget to pour the concrete?

Shot in the dark but maybe this is some structure on a trailer park type lot? No basement or slab foundation?

It's probably a trailer, or prefabricated house. A lot of those, especially older ones don't bother with foundation.

My house, a ranch style house built in a subdivision in the late 50's, is built off the ground. There is no slab foundation and there are no basements here. It's somewhat common. A benefit would be it creates a crawl space under the house where workers can get to pipes and electrical lines. It's also off the ground in case of a small flood, and I do live in a flood plain, protected by levee's.
