Seagulls have wings and can fly. Ostriches have wings and can't fly. So it's not the wings that make the seagulls fly, it's something else entirely.

This is in a way true. If ostriches weight less or had bigger wing area (like, absurdly large), they would be able to fly. So it isn't the wings per se as you say. Interesting.
The windows on the bus don’t go round and round?
Having recently lived through a hurricane and can vouch that houses, can, in fact, go.
I knew it wasn't that simple. Some more research is definitely required.
Did your house have a radio? I'm working on a completely new hypothesis.
Then Diogenes comes cruising through in an RV.
"Behold! A Van!"
Same for doors. We are really narrowing it down now!
Let's think of some differences. Cars have license plates and steering wheels.
There's one angle that I feel like we're not acknowledging: maybe it's something in the house that makes it not go. Sinks, or perhaps beds?
Hmm, that can't be it either. I've seen caravans with beds and sinks and they go.
It's not the human either. Believe me I've seen cars move by itself
Ancient "science" is kinda like this sometimes tbh
Modern science too, if the question is big enough.
I feel like all science is like this to an extent
Like, chicks get breast cancer a lot. Is it the estrogen? Let's put some of that in a mouse and see what happens
Of course modern researchers are more interested in like "MSRB acrolase enzymes" or whatever, but same diff
When you come to the comments for answers, and it's just people telling jokes
It's the hood that does it. Houses don't have hoods. Well, lots of houses can make up a hood but i think that's different.
You...I...you know what never mind. It is just not worth it.
Cars have rubber bladed things that automatically clear water off of some of the windows but houses do not.
I bet this is it! I'm going to install some in my house and see what happens. Pray for me!
The Pakleds are interested. This is basically Pakled philosophy.
"Windows make us go?"
Cuts hole in spaceship; gets vented into vacuum
So the window did make them go
Have you checked to see if the foundations are the same ?
