The second wave of crypto-currencies was about 3000 cryptocoins where the only financial innovation was
"It's going to be huge because *I'M* the celebrity promoting it,
which is why *I* get most of the profits from the pump&dump",
so that's fairly accurate.
And you know the people posting that are posting it from a phone they would likely lose their minds without, probably snacking on chips and Starbucks and no more ready to "survive" than anyone else.
I'm going out to my backyard to eat grass, any bugs that get caught in the crossfire is free protein. maybe I'll fight a raccoon for 1/5th of an unripe apple from my mom's tree.
OK now we are really going to ruin his joke....it takes about 30 minutes start to finish to hand milk a cow, now you want to filter then pasteurize it another 30 minutes at that stage you need to cool it till either the cream naturally separates or you run it through a cream separator, 2 to 24 hrs
And we haven't even gotten to bugs, fungus, and weeds! So many new freedom loving cuisine options in glorious New America! Why it's like world War 3 without the nuclear winter! If that isn't winning, I don't know what is.
I was broken-hearted to learn from the tumblr trans kids that you can’t just ace bandage your tits up for any length of time without risk of damage. That was going to be my go-to
That I know less about. It’s just you don’t want to use compression bandages long term around body parts.
Although I did tape as part of a dollar store Crow costume in high school and had to cut up the back halfway through trick or treating because of breathing restriction
Luckily my thyroid med is made from desiccated pig thyroid (armor thyroid med). Synthroid doesn’t work for me. All I have to do is slaughter a pig and eat the thyroid, right? That should do it for me!
I think people are just looking for a way to survive while avoiding as much as possible the social horrors closing in on them while also attempting to not give or do anything that will support this terribleness in any way.
Ok I'm baked and this doesn't *really* make sense but there's a connection there to trying to bring high skill labor into the hands of randos and expecting it to work
My sister gardens at scale. About an acre of crops + greenhouse. She works it about 40 hrs/week. She has a small tractor. She gets truck loads of manure. It produces enough for her and husband for about 9+ months with canning and freezing. Took her 10 years to get it sustainable (no seed purchase).
I must be incredibly fortunate. I’ve never seen any of that, though I have no doubt it exists. Then again, I don’t watch TV & I’m surgical in my social media consumption 🤷🏼♂️
So let me make a treaty with the other countries here. How about we talk about jury nullification? How about we talk about equality, diversity, inclusion, and justice?
How about we talk about boycotting countries who fall short of justice?
All the more hysterical considering it's largely the same crowd who melted into puddles of tears when they had to go 3 weeks w/o bellying up to the table at Olive Garden early in the pandemic. After all those years of prepping and survivalist cosplay, it turns out self-sufficiency ain't their thing.
And made of so-called "split leather." Way too many chemicals in that stuff. A couple of months of eating that and you'll start looking and sounding like RFK Jr.
The Siege of Leningrad, WWII
They learned how to boil leather for more calories; shoes, briefcases, belts, etc.
I wonder what RFK Jr. thinks about drinking boiled leather soup.

“No one does Depressions like I do! This is the Greatest Depression in the history of Depressions! In fact, I order everyone to call the old one the Just OK Depression.” - someone in DC
True story: During the Reagan years when I was getting through college trying to avoid debt, I occasionally got so hungry that I would sneak some the wheat paste we used for gluing up theatrical flats and make gruel out of it. Good times lmao.
Obviously, the legs & wings are ground for a flour substitute & the body can be smashed into a paste for a schmear or rolled into balls (they burn too easily loose-- trust me, you think burnt garlic is bad?🤣) & lightly roasted about 3-6 feet over open fire. Gotta keep an eye on em!
That's all i got!
Ask Mark Bittman about the logistics on that, but if you got any extra isopropyl alcohol-- i got a sandwich bag full of stinkbugs and a 3 year old jar of cinnamon if you want to make a stinking good trade!
❤
Well, now, aren’t you in luck! I just bought a bottle of 95% isopropyl alcohol. Would that work for you? I definitely need that cinnamon for pancakes I’m going to make with that fabulous new flour!
I just bought 4 new bras and a heck of a lot of undies. I can take bras in when they get old and stretched. Although my torrid bras have lasted years without a single stretch out.
I once: *designed a logo
*printed the fabric
*and sewed the items
for a little fundraiser and was told I “didn’t actually make the product”. I asked the man(of course) if he wanted me to grow the cotton as well and he just blinked at me. Some people have no idea what effort is.
I get the feeling most people who say asking for help is "woke" are perfectly happy to demand help for themselves - they only have a problem with the idea of Those Other People™ asking for help
Oh yeah... we saw that during the pandemic, didn't we? All those go-it-alone peppers who couldn't stand a month long lockdown because they had to buy booze and cigarettes from somewhere. They went on and on about how many beans and bullets they had stashed but couldn't live without TP and coffee.
I don’t wear one either except going to work and special occasions. Day to day life, though? Nope. And I’m not small chested. These babies are sagging all over! 🤣🤣🤣
I am able to say I’ve never worn one…well, except for that one strange date I went on in ‘79, of which I have few other memories 😉 These days tho I could probably use one - the pecs went to flab a while back.
My favorite insight from this terrific @swordsjew.bsky.social interview with Deborah Blum: “Every person matters. Our government should protect us in an every person way, & we should stand together in an every person way.” Yes! That’s what we’re supposed to be, in a nutshell.
Learn what different berries look like some neighborhoods have fruit trees in vacant yards and the berries drop in May and / in Sept keep a bag in your pocket and shake shake shake scoop scoop scoop
During the early 2021 wave of the pandemic I saw someone saying to stop going to the grocery store and just grow all of your own food. In New England. In the winter. And that's IF you even have a yard to grow things in.
My mom was the go to Industrial Arts substitute teacher in every school in Bergen County NJ in the 60s.
They made me take Home Ec.
I broke every sewing machine in the classroom. Sequentially & deliberately.
Plus I'm going to be super busy recruiting all these subjects for my double blind trials so I can do my own research? I feel like I might run out of time
I blame Minecraft for warping people's conception of how easy self-sufficiency is.
Need fuel? Go out and punch a tree.
Need food? Just add water to seeds.
How hard could it be?

I have a wheel for the cat but she just lays on it. I think the 7mo old puppy might be a better candidate for energy production (if I can just train her to use the wheel!)
Just to take one of those things and point out how ot won't work. Components in a bra - underwire, hook & eye closure, rings and slides, 2 widths of elastic, power mesh and/or spandex, fabric for cups, lining fabric for cups, lace. Nearly all of that comes from China.
It’s so stupid. I spent a crap-ton of money to set up a teensy garden on my patio. I do it because it’s fun, not because it will feed us. I live in a condo. Where am I supposed to grow (and store!) a year’s worth of food and pasture my cows?? 🙄
I've done farm work. I made a choice to live in a city so I didn't have to do farm work. I swear to god if these mfers make me have to raise chickens or milk goats again, I am going to lose my shit.
I got taught to do this with a stick across the neck and a good jerk of the back legs for cervical dislocation and while it works great for rabbits and chickens, it does not for waterfowl as their legs dislocate first. D: D: DDD:
We weren't killing very many chickens, so we just did immobilize + manual cervical dislocation. If I ever had to do it again, I'd probably invest in a cone. But I don't ever want to do it again!
Definitely not the eggs!!!! However, fancy feast is about 75 cents for a teeny tiny can. So if you’re good with losing some weight….you’re golden! 🤦♀️
Honestly of all things to grow, I’ve found potatoes and zucchini to be the absolute easiest. Plant, water. I’m growing mine in tires as raised beds because I’m too lazy to plow a garden or weed it 🤣
Haha reading all the posts got me to thinking about what I can do, I can buy 2 chickens and put them in a crate in my living room and have 2 eggs a day, pretty sure my apt manager wouldn’t mind
The same people that lost their minds during Covid because they couldn’t sit inside a restaurant for 2 weeks and bought all of the toilet paper being the “sea your own bras” crowd is crazy.
For sure. But if I’m being honest I’m starting to learn to do stuff because I’m broke ass. Even then getting the setup for stuff costs money so it’s hard to get started regardless. I hate this timeline.
That's funny coming from an asshole in a country where you just made it criminal for women to use the appropriate bathroom; you should shut the fuck up until you've solved your own countries problems, fuckhead.
Sew your own bras? My late grandmother (born 1907) told me women just tied rags together to use as bras. I’m not even sure if I could figure out how to do that. 🤷🏻♀️
So yes, that's probably good advice for EMERGENCY survival, but we shouldn't be even close to that. We shouldn't even have to be thinking of that. Ridiculous.
You know they're going to funnel all of our taxes into their pockets. Can't wait for all that FDA funding to be diverted to Dr. Oz's new supplement line or some shit.
As a woman who’s had underwires break through her bra like the chestburster in Alien no matter how many times I tried to repair it, the idea also makes me laugh. Then it makes me very sad.
We do keep a garden and it's not nearly enough to feed us as our primary food source, by far. There are only 2 of us and we have 4 raised beds & no room for anything else. Idk what they think people in apartments or condos or townhomes with HOAs are going to do.
It also takes a lot of time and energy and water. Those water bills are no joke. And "just get a chicken" excuse me? I am not equipped for livestock and livestock also that's another mouth to feed. Plus what am I going to do with 1 egg per day in exchange for time and manual labor?
The bra thing is really killing me. I have an abnormal bra size and have so few options already. Now the two brands I've loved have stopped shipping to the U.S.
I've been watching Great British Sewing Bee and Lingerie Week is hilarious because often the women come in all "Yeah, we know bras!" and then 2 hours later most of them are squinting at seams and realising in 30 years of wearing they've never actually examined the construction like this.
I did just buy a new supply and I'm not carelessly throwing them in the washing machine anymore. I handwash for extended life. Sort of. I've decided the sous vide machine is great for hand washing. Warm gently circulating water.
Ah yes please work a 96 hour work week, grow your own food, sew your own clothes, go to church, run a youth group, coach your boys soccer team, do your own home repair, manufacture your own computer chips, serve in the military, and praise the almighty dictator. I’m sure you have time for all that.
Anything like the Sec of Ag suggesting people could get around the high price of eggs by raising some chickens in their back yards - conveniently forgetting that many people don't HAVE back yards and, even for those who do, the high cost of buying, feeding, housing, and caring for chickens!
Also chickens produce a lot of waste that is smelly, takes several years to compost down to garden-safe, and may be a health concern for folks with breathing issues.
Not a good apartment option.
I’ve got an 8000 sq foot lot with 2500 sr feet of growing space - I’d pretty much starve to death if i had to rely on that for the majority of my food throughout the whole year
You need approx 2 acres per person to have a sustainable farm
We have a pretty big garden, and on a good year we can grow a lot of food, but yes, it's not enough to live on. Maybe for the month of July if you are vegetarian.
As a science fiction buff, I understand that it isn’t the disease that kills you… it’s the breakdown of modern supply chains.
Most large cities have maybe 5 days of food in stock at any given time. And no, you can’t just go out to the country and grow your own. That’s how serfdoms start.
I’ve been working on a sourdough starter and finally made my first loaf day before yesterday. I used a 5lb bag of flour for all that. I was like dayam! Luckily I won’t use that much now that the starter is good to go but that still had me shook!
I'm from the UK and the only thing I remember being taught at school about communism was that it meant that nobody had a car but everyone got a free bicycle and I thought that sounded pretty sweet actually.
Yes, I've converted my shower into a rice paddy and am raising perch in the water among the plants. Surely this 36"x36" tub will produce enough rice and fish to make it worth going without showers. I'll have to learn to gut fish, and I don't like perch, but I guess that's the price of #freedom
It is worth it! Dear Leader always knows what he's doing. Donald Trump is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life.

What say you?
Of course with the tariffs, they'll now be $25.
Going outside the system individually is a problem for alot of reason but we're also just being told to recreate what we already bought and paid for.

The people ICE are occaisionally finding during their random citizen terror campaign literally crossed the planet NOT to live like that...
Which definitely went from being funny to, "Uhhhhhh guys? We have to actually. Talk to people. To survive. Helloooooooo?"
is cool, but yet another way to completely upend the American economy.

I said “exchange”. It’s trade. And I *assume* my winning position you see?
