Sure but the stuff that people usually garden – tomatoes, peppers, greens, herbs, carrots, cucumbers, etc – are basically zero calorie stuff. If you actually need your garden for food they’re basically useless except for micronutrients. Potatoes are the easiest high calorie density food that I can think of to grow. Try growing enough corn or wheat to feed yourself for a week in your back yard. A big garden full of potatoes could feed you for weeks.

You might be reduced to raw dogging your ear in an emergency.

I saw a documentary about a guy who survived on Mars by growing potatoes in his own poop.

this way you can quickly send mass text updates to your phone contacts along with ads for thermometers. a portion of the people who get those texts go out and buy the thermometer, sending updates to all their contacts, until 2/3 of the population buys the thermometer and 1.5 million are dead

Was his name Elon?

If Musk gets stranded on Mars we should leave him there.

Why wait? We should strap him onto a rocket and launch him toward the sun.

This seems like a nice way to say don’t be a selfish ass. :stuck_out_tongue:

Luckily insanity isn’t a COVID symptom.

I called my health care provider and they told me I don’t meet criteria for testing right now because I haven’t traveled and haven’t come into contact with someone with a confirmed case of the virus.

They didn’t give me a very definitive answer for how long I should be staying home after my symptoms go away (I feel fine now). But anyway, I haven’t gone out. I’ve been watching people out of my window. One of the neighbors is pretty hot, I’ve discovered. She likes to walk her dog in front of my building and look into my apartment for some reason. Maybe tomorrow I’ll go buy some groceries.

Why would we bother? He’s already building the rocket.

So if we get infected with CV-19 we should breath in bleach fumes? Be right back, need to PM Mason with another hot tip.

BUILD THE WALL! (Wait…not like that)

My girlfriend didn’t work today so she went to stock up. Sam’s Club was empty…like bone dry. The frozen section at 2 of them had basically nothing.

She got a lot of stuff at Winco but it was absolute insanity. People were apparently stealing stuff out of other people’s carts.

I got me 10 acres and ‘feed’ aprox 30 families/year. No meat, flour, or dairy production tho. We do butcher ~ 60 chucks/month and sell aprox 1200 eggs/month.

Update from shitholelandia (Uruguay):

First 4 cases confirmed today
2 went to a 500+ wedding last weekend
Gubmint anounced partial shutdown of boarders just now.
School attendance no longer obligatory.
All public events suspended/cancelled

No mention of work obligations.

When I was a teenager I routinely mopped the floor where I worked with a mix of ammonia and bleach. I figured the scare stories meant that it would work really well for cleaning. Anything that smelled that awful had to be hella powerful, right?

One day while doing this I started to feel really weird and unwell. I kinda freaked out and decided I had actually poisoned myself. Went to the rest room to wash out my eyes and see if maybe I could puke or something, but I just kept feeling more and more weird.

Turns out one of my coworkers had dosed me with mescaline and didn’t tell me.

This is a 100% true story.

How did you get secretly dosed with mescaline? That shit tastes fucking awful,

Are you thinking of mushrooms or peyote? The mescaline I’ve taken is a tiny little pill that you swill down, typically with a gulp of beer.
