    And make sure at least one person in your future gang is a really good cook. You want your dumpster stew to be as close to edible as possible.

      Fuck yeah, many years of living in poverty have made me an exceptionally good cook when improvising with whatever I have left, as well as with canned and dried foodstuffs (that are cheap to buy in bulk and don’t expire easily). My time to be a valuable member of society is at hand!

        Solidarity!

        I was considering a cook book (when cook books were a thing when books were a thing) called “the ghetto gourmet”

        It all comes down to stocking up on herbs and spices. And knowing what pairs.

    We thought way ahead of this, we even have a whole ass plan for how it’d go, one of my friends, who has a medium sized house but a massive, uninterrupted bedroom, would drive to our houses, or some other arangement to pick us up, then clear the backyard and nature strip for food gardens and hemp, possibly ally with the weed dealers around the block and many other things. Then whoopty doo, self sustaining commune full of crafty, tech literate people. I would probably even be the dude bringing a bin full of tens, possibly hundreds of unused ThinkPads from my dad’s workplace, or maybe get my hands on a few hundred pi zeros or other sbcs and other miscellaneous tech. Another friend of mine would probably be the manga/anime supplier, since he’s almost always reading and watching that stuff and probably has a few GB of it on his desktop already. Even beyond that, we’ve got like 5 other friends with diverse backgrounds and knowledge.

    Whenever we find some random end of the world scenario, we always overthink about this, I find it pretty funny that not even 2 years ago we either didn’t really know each other too much or we found other friends more interesting at the time. I guess we’re united by shitty jokes and trying to offend each other.

      Thinkpads

      pi zeros

      manga/anime

      interesting what you’d consider to be necessities in an apocalyptic situation

        Yeah I know lmao, but I would believe we’d all bring seeds and possibly barrels since we migiht all have like two each.

        The manga and anime is probably just the entertainment and the tech is likely going to be used either as home security or devices to game on, I guess we do have priorities lol

        Definitely if you’re in the area when shit goes down, a commune with more varied skillsets would definitely survive longer than a bunch of people with the same skillset

        I would rather be flavourless soylent green than what I’ll prob be - and undead zombie with a brain chip keeping basic functions online just enough so I can continue to work a (for humanity) pointless job.

        … also, with the amount of microplastics & PFATs in my body the ‘bio’ part of biofuel is just greenwashing marketing strats :D

          Hmm revised strategem:

          Die as a radiological/environmental disaster to avoid being used as biofuel by tech billionaires.

            Why doesn’t the larger of the two classes just turn billionaires into biofuel (for fun, not quantity, perhaps as s memorial) and divest from carbon fuel altogether?

                Meaning unclear, assume sheer residual radiation from aura of the Mothra vs Godzilla fight is what fuels my car. Kinda epic, prob renewable.

          This is where JD Vance’s funding is coming from.

          They literally want a fascist dictatorship.

            Thiel is, apparently, also what some people call “an informant, with the official code name “Philosopher,” and an identification number — for the FBI.”

            I hate these fuckers.

            https://ca.news.yahoo.com/billionaire-fbi-informant-peter-thiel-130944864.html

            But, holy shit that one guy, who was ‘just kidding’.

            The shit they want … There really isn’t a term for the evil they are and want to unleash.

            It would take all the synonyms for all the synonyms for evil and all it’s names to barely start the definition of what they are.

              When Democrats accuse Republicans of voting against their own interests to “own the libs”, it’s actually starting to tip into voting against humanity territory. I was talking to my friend about this earlier today. The “underclass” to these people are the non-billionaires. We’re not people to them.
