The Indian rice export ban, the war in Ukraine and El Niño are combining to create a “doom loop” for the world’s poorest people, as staple food prices soar.

Started the food wars have
Been prepping for years just in case this happens. Scary to see its possible.
There’s no prepping for a food war. Prepping is for a temporary situation. Food supplies must be constantly restocked.
The survivors will be those able to adapt. There’s plenty of nourishing fauna, but how many are ready to eat bugs? Rats?
I live in Vietnam, and I’m here to tell you that bugs and rats are more expensive than rice. I’ve eaten them all 🍽️
Why?
It’s sad to just watch it all unfold the way we’ve been warned for decades.
Can we please not have silly jokes on a serious topic like global hunger?
This is one thing I don’t want from reddit
If I don’t laugh about the world I’ll just start crying. It’s sadly the defense mechanism I’ve developed. I use humor to avoid uncomfortable moments in all aspects of my life.
It was a fine dark humor joke, don’t sweat it.
Thanks
It’s not sadly the defence mechanism you developed, but luckily.
Because face it some defence mechanism is needed, and the vast majority of them are absolutely harmful. Fuck the ruffled feathers those are the exact kind of people who say “I’d rather ignore it”, “I’d rather deny it’s happening”, “I’d rather say that it’s bad everywhere”, “I’d rather say it’s because of the Jews”, “I’d rather sit here and unproductively wallow in pity”, or whatever. You are a human, and as such you have the birth right to be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.
Thanks
It may sound silly but it’s put succinctly and there’s an element of grim truth to it.
Additionally, do we have to compare everything to Reddit? It’s the Internet, people are going to cope how they cope.
I just want to filter out the words Reddit, Elon and Trump. I’m just so tired.
Curating your experience certainly helps. Thankfully Lemmy clients are starting to have keyword blocks I hear. It’s the thing I miss the most about Boost.
So Huffman, Musk, and Trump walk into a bar…
And they order everyone around?

Thanks! I used to do it in Apollo with Trump. It was nice living in my bubble.
Can we please not banning silly jokes on a serious topic? That is one thing I don’t want from real life
You don’t make silly jokes on serious topics in real life?

No
Humor can be a defense mechanism when things are bleak.
Some of us can only deal with existential horror by laughing and the absurdity of it all.
You must be fun at parties…
