My house has an engine that burns fuel, so it can’t be that, either. That’s mostly for heat and to drain my wallet.

It must be the configuration of the seats. In my house, they mostly face each other, whereas in my car, they’re all facing the same direction. I think this is why the house doesn’t move – it doesn’t have that clear hint of what direction it should go.

    I dunno, busses and trains have seats that face each other so it’s clearly not that.

    Well then, smart guy, what’s your theory? At least some of us are trying to figure this out.

    I bet it's the windshield wipers. Cars, busses and trains have them, but houses do not. In fact, I can't think of a single thing that doesn't move that has them.

    Not necessarily. The windows could be a requirement for the car moving, but not sufficient on their own. Maybe the car moves because it has both windows and an engine, but it wouldn't move if either the engine was removed or all the windows were.

    Maybe it's because two of the walls are basically entirely doors? No that wouldn't be true for all cars, must be windows + trunk? Wait no, it is the windows, that's why houses have basements/foundations can't risk the house moving on its own

    I hate to have to point this out every time this meme gets posted, but the conclusion is absolutely correct.

    house move all the time. but it's definitely not window related.

    Earthquakes, tornadoes, mobile homes....

    And in certain places they move the house when it become haunted.

    Car has windows that go up down by button. House has windows that go up down by human.

    Maybe houses just don’t have a reason to move.

    What if the windows are just a part of what makes the car go. I've seen houses without windows, but a car without windows is inconceivable.

    I dunno guys. Maybe it's just not enough windows. Your not supposed to throw stones from cars, you're allowed to throw stones from houses, EXCEPT if it is a glass house. Maybe that's because glass houses have enough windows that they are moving like cars?
