Your home almost certainly has preventative measures, including proper humidity and temperature control, structural reinforcement, etc.
I don't mean that you personally have taken those measures, but preventative measures have absolutely been taken. When they aren't, ceilings collapse on people.
See any sheetrock ceiling with a leak above it. Or look at any abandoned building: they will eventually always have collapsed floors/ceilings. It is inevitable.
Yeah that's the point. Humans are able to do things that prevent ceiling collapse.
Entropy may mean all ceilings collapse eventually, but that doesn't mean we aren't able to make useful ceilings.
