i have friends who had manageable weed habits for years that became full-blown dependencies when a dispensary opened near them and they no longer had to arrange a meetup with their creepy and/or unreliable dealer. when there's a starbucks next to another starbucks in every strip mall in america, dropping a minimally addictive substance like coffee can become a herculean task for some people. caffeine is like oil in that when it finally becomes a scarcity for americans, they're going to find out the hard way that a pretty significant portion of their society is unsustainably propped up on it. has anyone ever done a study on how much of the average worker's productivity is attributable to their daily caffeine high, and what kind of effect that would have at the macro scale if it was just dropped one day? lol

I will miss you all but that's the final frontier. it’s why I’m starting to stockpile useful reference books, kindle books, video games, and back up hard drives with movies and what not. when that day comes, the world will seem smaller but that’s fine. thinking of getting one of those little game boy like emulators too. oh and some solid board games card games.

JeremoudCorbynejad posted:I know but then my post in the Biosphere Collapse thread doesn't work, just let me have this yeah ofc lol at this idea that coffee going extinct would make society collapse because of dependencies. the idea that you can have a withdrawal means that you've developed a tolerance to it. you don't get too many extra benefits from coffee, most of the time, if you drink several cups every day. you mostly just bring yourself back up to normal if you're the type to develop a severe dependence on it. anyway it's not like any commodity like that will become unavailable overnight. it would be a dwindling supply over time and anyone that worried would take care of the problem beforehand

You’ll drink your postum, acorns, chicory, or dandelions and be thankful you can pretend it’s coffee because that’s what the guy who sold it to you called it.

My grandma still prefers coffee with chicory in it because that's what her grandma drank. Her grandma drank that because of the Civil War.

Is caffeine only able to be produced via extraction from natural resources? Is there an economical process for synthesis?

I will miss you all but that's the final frontier. so if we get rolling blackouts everywhere, i imagine that means a lot less internet traffic. but not zero since the proliferation of mobile devices. but if it gets to the point that you have to access internet intermittently dictated by power and connection availability, poo poo would be looking pretty dire outside your doorstep.

silicone thrills posted:well this is weird. I didn't even google it and I browse on incognito. one time a few months back i was feeling hungry so i hopped on my bicycle to ride over a nearby sandwich shop (which has about 3 or 4 branches locally but isn't a big chain by any definition). i decided to do this, internally in my head, and said nothing out loud to indicate i was doing this because i was alone. i did not bring my phone with me and when i got there, i paid for my sandwich in cash. when i got back home, i sat at the kitchen table and started eating. in the middle of my meal, i got a message from a friend on instagram so i picked up my phone to answer it. after i answered the message, i started absentmindedly scrolling my feed before being accosted by an advertisement for the tiny sandwich shop i was just at. my jaw dropped, i couldn't believe it. i started wracking my brain as to how the algorithm could possibly know i was just there before it finally hit me: i was holding my phone's front-facing camera over the sandwich wrapper which was plastered with tiny logos of the sandwich shop. i double-checked my settings and no, instagram was not "allowed" to "access" my cameras lol

Instagram and Facebook use facial recognition on photos other people upload to track your location. So it may be that someone else's photo of the coffee shop had you in the background. Or they're just lying about the camera thing

Howdges posted:moved to Dallas a few months ago (rip) and I was wondering why all the light poles were leaning over the roads and poo poo. like majorly leaning, about to fall over. and then it dawned on me, the ice did this. heavy rear end ice pulled them sideways and they just haven’t bothered to put them back. lol, lmao The soil is terrible in most of Texas, most places will have issues with the lovely clay expanding/shrinking with wet/dry spells. Building foundations and poles embedded in the soil will have all sorts of issues handling this constant movement so regular maintenance on these items can be expected for the region it had nothing to do with a single ice storm or w/e.
