Mauser posted:it's not surprising that this man appears to be unfamiliar with every aspect of tomatoes, from how much you charge for one tomato to the concept of seeds. To the concept of hybrids, which is what you're growing if you're growing tomatoes in bulk. A hybrid tomato is resistant to the diseases that you may get with a single plant, but will certainly get if you're growing a field. And hybrids famously do not come true from seed.

A king once challenged a wise sage to a chess match, and agreed to the sage’s requested payment should he beat the king; one tomato seed on the first chess square, and double the amount of seeds on the second square, and double the prior square on each subsequent square. After losing, the king quickly realized just how many tomato seeds he owed the sage due to the law of squares! The sage quickly became the richest man in the lands as the king attempted to pay off his impossible debt.

35 chickens rightly need a lot of space. That’s a big-rear end coop and, if you’re doing it right, another big chunk of land for a run and/or free-ranging area. In addition to the half-acre of land. Also I guess crops grow with zero resources. You just plant them and they’re all good. Four million free tomatoes. I can’t believe everyone is too stupid to just do this

Use $50 to buy 10 tomato plants. In 6 months you have 250 tomatoes. Plant those into 250 plants. In 6 months you have 0 tomatoes because you were trying to grow tomatoes in winter.

A penny that doubles itself every day would be a horrible curse. How could you ever spend any of it? Anybody you give one to now also has a duplicating penny, the entire concept of currency would be destroyed in a month's time, and the entire physical world would shortly follow, as a deluge of coins swallows both the land and sea. In three months the pennies would outweigh the mass of the earth itself. Six months after that they would eclipse the known universe

That actually happened and caused massive inflation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mansa_Musa#Islam_and_pilgrimage_to_Mecca quote:Because of his nature of giving, Musa's massive spending and generous donations created a massive ten year gold recession. In the cities of Cairo, Medina, and Mecca, the sudden influx of gold devalued the metal significantly. Prices of goods and wares became greatly inflated. This mistake became apparent to Musa and on his way back from Mecca,

"Borrow" $5 million from your parents. Use the money to buy a tomato farm, and to hire staff who are experienced enough to run it largely without the need for any input from yourself. Use the rest of the money on an elaborate and largely tangential marketing campaign, preferably one which extols the social-justice credentials of your tomatoes (I'm thinking a gay couple planting a tomato plant with the slogan 'LOVE BLOOMS'). Exploit economies of scale to drive local tomato growers out of business. Abuse your de facto monopoly by imposing convoluted payment schemes on your customers (e.g. replace the notion of buying a tomato with the notion of subscribing to a tomato plant on a monthly basis). Make a killing on the ipo as your old class-mates in the media and credulous twitter fanboys wax breathlessly about how you've changed the tomato market forever. Trademark tomatoes and refuse to allow farmers in third world countries to grow them independently, but then give them access to tomato 'microloans' and bask in the media coverage which lauds your novel approach to solving world hunger. Give a series of lectures about how old tomato-growing paradigms are being eclipsed at breakneck speed, and write a book about how anyone could become a tomato billionaire if only they had the courage to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and follow their dreams.

This doesn't make his idea any less stupid though. There speaks a man who has never weeded a tomato bed in 80 degree weather. Or Rototilled it in the spring. Or fertilized it. Or sprayed it with fungicides. Or put up Japanese beetle traps. Gardening isn't "stick the plant in the ground and walk away" magic. Gardening is brutally hard labor in all weathers, and constantly at risk of disasters you have no control over. Joe McJohnson, with no gardening experience, is not going to raise a significant amount of food on his one-acre lot, because gardening/farming is an actual learned skill.
