killing a plant isn't enough of a rush. i have to kill something that's a bit more "alive" ya know, otherwise can you even really call it food?

starting getting the veggie bowls at chipotle anyways, just load up on beans and free guac

yeah but bro what do the crickets eat? insects still have to obey the laws of thermodynamics and conservation of mass and no biological process is 100% efficient. if you're going to feed people insects, you still have to grow something to feed the insects. what i'm saying is that instead of growing food for crickets, and feeding it to the crickets, and then grinding the crickets up into disgusting cricket flour... just eat the loving cricket food.

because we haven’t genetically modified our metabolism and gi tracts to digest grasses and plant matter to synthesize the amino acids/protein crickets do en masse

I'm so tired of being filled with a deep deep rage. There's no outlet.

how's this for a market based solution? subsidize helicopter rental costs for wealthy people. we can recoup the costs by loosening maintenance requirements on the helicopters.

Are crickets even that much more efficient at turning feed into meat than chickens?

I think if you are going to attempt a bunker situation it'd be better to just do it somewhere that gets inhospitable earlier. Targeting one of the northernmost parts of the continental united states means your fantasy bunker society will have the last dregs of humanity in a 2100 world making GBS threads into your air vents or whatever.

Build your bunker underneath soon to be dead farmland in the mid latitude square states and I don't think anyone would disturb your poo poo filled hole in the ground filled with skeletons self sustaining bunker society

Climate change impacts on food security will involve negative impacts on crop yields, and potentially on the nutritional quality of staple crops. Common bean is the most important grain legume staple crop for human diets and nutrition worldwide. We demonstrate by crop modeling that the majority of current common bean growing areas in southeastern Africa will become unsuitable for bean cultivation by the year 2050. We further demonstrate reductions in yields of available common bean varieties in a field trial that is a climate analogue site for future predicted drought conditions. Little is known regarding the impact of climate change induced abiotic stresses on the nutritional quality of common beans. Our analysis of nutritional and antinutritional compounds reveals that iron levels in common bean grains are reduced under future climate-scenario relevant drought stress conditions. In contrast, the levels of protein, zinc, lead and phytic acid increase in the beans under such drought stress conditions. This indicates that under climate-change induced drought scenarios, future bean servings by 2050 will likely have lower nutritional quality, posing challenges for ongoing climate-proofing of bean production for yields, nutritional quality, human health, and food security.

i've played enough fallout to know you gotta be careful with those things. you might get the suck n' gently caress vault, or you might get the plant zombie spores vault, and there's no way to know beforehand. i'll take my chance with the nukes and looters and flooding and ghouls, thank you very much

Also have this bonus map of "danger" red dots are nuclear targets, yellow circles are looters, and the blue swath is "predicted submersion zones"



apparently the rockies are going under water yet somehow the midwest will be fine?

I've got to be honest that kind of appeals to me. You've got nice tight safe insides when you want them and vast empty outsides when you want them.



Too many neighbours though but I figure most of them will probably off themselves in short order.
