Guy’s hat keeps changing
You mean yours doesn’t?
Triforce, Pokeball, [too small to make out], Super Mushroom, sun? The others are clear Nintendo references, so I’m scratching my head at the sun at the end.
Most Nintendo levels are set in the daytime
Also there’s an angry sun in one of the games. Also Super Mario Sunshine?
It’s the power of woke
I wish solar made sense where I live, but it’s not just “cloudy right now”, it’s extremely overcast for 9-12 months out of the year. It’ll still generate power, but not really enough to offset the cost of the installation. Hopefully solar keeps getting cheaper, more efficient, or both.
Jokes on you, I’ve been burying my gasoline…
no, this is actually a joke, feds. Burying gasoline would be irresponsible and dangerous.
~What you want to do is bury diesel…~
Wouldn’t it go bad after, like, a year?
probably. don’t take advice on storing fuel from a dipshit.
Don’t tell me what to do dipshit
This made my day
My brother bought some land cheap and started with his infrastructure before the house (he’d previously bought a school bus and converted it). He started with solar, batteries, and a generator for the well etc, but he’s finally expanded to the point where the batteries can last him through all the dark, and the generator is hardly used a d just there as an emergency backup.
He works in IT remotely so it’s not like he isn’t using electricity and internet all day. He does have more room to put the panels though.
I don’t really understand preppers. Why would you want to survive after society collapses? That sounds awful.
A lot of them aren’t planning for the end of the world, just for “something bad” of indeterminate but finite length that’s longer than a lot of people think reasonable.
It’s a spectrum, with routine “emergency preparedness” on one end, and “self sufficient lifetime bunker filled with reusable water and canned food” on the other.
It’s normal for people to have a flashlight, a few days worth of shelf stable food, a first aid kit and a couple of tarps. It doesn’t even need to be intentional, it’s just normal, but it still forms a basic emergency kit.
A rational response to a normal risk.A lot of the more extreme peppers who aren’t radical are in more rural areas, where something like a tornado could actually knock out power for a week or more.
A rational response to an uncommon, but real risk.Others just have a disproportionate estimation if the risk of something like Katrina or the 2003 blackout happening, that can knock utilities out for a protracted period of time, or some esoteric and unlikely beliefs about civil unrest.
A rational response to an uncommon, unlikely risk.At the far end you have people who want to survive the literal end of the world. I don’t necessarily get why you would want to survive for a bleak and empty life either.
An irrational response to an unprecedented, infinitesimal risk.The chance to create a new society in our own image. With government subsidised cocaine and hookers.
The problem is “our” image is not something we all agree on. I see no reason for that to be different for the handful of survivors. The survivors will most likely end up wishing they had died quickly.
You’d rather die?
Than have to scrape by in a post-apocalyptic hellscape? Absolutely.
I don’t have a Mad Max fantasy.
Not very shiny and chrome of you.
Oh, what a movie. What a lovely movie!
Lame
Back in my day, we didn’t feed the trolls, and they starved to death
The Devil’s Panties!! A blast from my past right there.
We’re going to Hammerbarn!
