And his best friend lives next door.

Based on the show's content, they probably used Bronto-Jackhammers to split the rocks and finished it off with stone hand tools.

Leviathan dinosaur egg.

I think in the movie they show houses being made with stacked layers of rock chiseled out like a 3d printer

It's obviously just a picture made up to fit the aesthetic without great thought to worldbuilding, but if you ignore the perspective it could be made of multiple vertical sheets of rock.

those are big dinosaur molars. dinosaurs with bad dental hygiene

It was Buckminster Fuller cement home. I couldn’t find a link for them, but they were made from a mold and looked sort of like that.

The roof and the garage seem to be other rocks. And the chimney too.

Yeah. I grew up watching the Flintstones. He was never portrayed as a loser. He was just a regular blue collar guy. Like Dan on Roseanne. Not like Al from married with children. Someone who was broke all the time but still had a 2 story house and dog, wife, two kids, and a shitty car and vacation like every year even though he was a single income shoe salesman at a mall that was bad at his job.

Who drove a rust-bucket car with an odometer that rolled over to zeroes.

The family was jokingly on the brink of starvation and would fight over a scrap of food.

They celebrated when they paid the water bill and had it turned back on.

It's well known Al only owns less than 5 pairs of socks and pairs of underwear with most of his clothes falling apart.

Despite owning a house it's been said over and over that it's an eyesore in disrepair from the outside.

The family routinely gets involved in scams and schemes to get money

yeah, every now and then i think about going out to the hills and building a stone and mud hut. slapping an A/C unit on the side with extension cords leading all the way down through a grassy field to the nearest airport or quarry. not a fire hazard at all.

Fred Flintstone was a loser

There, you just did, through the magic of selective quoting:p

The show did. Rather often. Hell it was even in the movie.
