We wanted chickens so badly this year but with H5N1 spreading and owning 3 cats (which seem to have a high death rate from H5N1) I’m still not sure if it’s a great idea. If anyone can convince me though I would still happily get chickens.
Assuming I don’t immediately die (honestly would hope I did in that situation) I am very stubborn and would probably persist.
I have been into programming and electronics for almost my whole life (assuming I had any way to power them), love cooking, ferment and can foods all the time and have a good sized garden and a big grow tent with mushrooms in it. I also have several fish tanks with plants so I’m sure I could rig up some aquaponics system. And my wife is a nurse so I’m always learning a lot from her. Even built a backyard mini forge and kiln once because I was bored.
Just don’t make me kill any animals and I think I’ll be ok (unless the animals were injured and needed to be put down or in self defense). If someone else did all the hunting I’d happily do the butchering, though.
Did they have a fountain or pond in the courtyard? We have an above ground pool and are one of the few neighbors with fireflies in our yard. We also have a lot of native flowers though so maybe that helps
I think (most) millenials and gen z are in pretty good agreement with what policies we want for the future, though. So I’m not that worried.

What country? “Many countries” have little to no workers’ (or human) rights, that doesnt make them a good metric for deciding what’s ok.
You are now fully aware of where your tongue is.
Day 1: create 264 gallons of water (probably enough for a month)
Day 2: create a cubic meter of food (also probably enough for a month)
Day 3 to next rationing: spend thinking of all the awesome things I could create but end up getting overwhelmed and doing nothing instead
