Chamale posted:Millions of Africans will starve before any American cattle do. only because technically it wasnt starvation it was heat exhaustion and we killed them for meat before they could die of the heat  https://slate.com/technology/2021/09/megadrought-ranchers-cattle-sheep-lambs-meat.html quote:https://slate.com/technology/2021/09/megadrought-ranchers-cattle-sheep-lambs-meat.html

So humans on strict plant based diet without burning food for car fuel. How much we could lose and still feed everyone, 80-90% of the fields? I mean just scrap all animals and related animal products, don't use food for biofuels. Don't eat more calories than you need. How much extra we produce than is nutritionally absolutely necessary?

It is day 1339 since "the crisis", I have been foraging the ruins enough to have outlived the bulk of my species. My clothes hang from me in filthy rags, my hair a disgusting rats nest. I peer in the window of an abandoned convenience store, already ransacked but a convenient place to retreat from the ash and acid lacing from the blackened sky. Poking through moldering debris in the back, seeking a place to lay my emaciated head for a moments rest, I find a cellular phone. Unbelievably, it turns on. I lay back on a rotting pile of Coal Rollers Quarterly, the years of struggle shedding off. Smiling, I log into the SomethingAwful forums: Biosphere Collapse. My trembling fingers type out a final "LOL, LMAO", and I drift off to my enternal slumber.

I've been thinking about how The Tower of Babel is primarily a story about technology. At the time (still is) building tall rear end structutes was the primary way of showing off your technological chops. Both in terms of engineering and construction as well as human organizational technologies necessary to manage these mega projects. Now look at us, we've built this massive cybernetic machine of exploitation to see how high we can build Number and our realities have been fractured into a million little soap bubbles as a result. We can't communicate across the boundaries since loadbearing symbolic touchstones and shibboleths have drifted. The ability to maintain and continue building the number machine under the onslaught of climate change has been kneecapped by our reduced ability to work together under common goals because we can barely even agree on the problems. If anything the Brain-Breaking Internet machine may be a small mercy to life on earth because it accelerated the ultimate collapse of the Capitalist project.

BIG HEADLINE posted:https://texasfarmbureau.org/wind-storm-destroys-wheat-crop-in-texas-panhandle/ quote:“I guess that’s why there’s only 2% of the population that do this job, because you have to love it to do it,” Wieners said. “What has me optimistic right now is we just had one of the best cotton crops I’ve ever had, and there were good prices. I’ve had more bad years than good years, but we had a good summer and a good crop this year. And I know we’re going to have more good years.” ah, true wild optimism in its natural habitat you just don't see that very often these days or anything else that's wild

Complications posted:ah, true wild optimism in its natural habitat To be fair, it’s easy to be an optimist when the federal government will provide endless subsidies and bailouts essentially unconditionally. Make no mistake: most of these farms wouldn’t be around if it weren’t for those guarantees.

I never been able to believe in a magical afterlife, but if there was one, I would love a chance to speak to all the old dead philosophers, scientists, activist, revolutionaries, civil rights leaders, certain authors and artists and generally anyone with a deeply optimistic and kind view of the future, humanity, and who truly thought the things they said and did mattered, and that there was some bright shining future for people. I would just love to ask them "So how about that whole ending bit there lmao."
