    we’re going to see a collapse in our lives due to climate change, I’m convinced. I’ve decided to become the town’s brewer, supposing i can get my hands on enough grain. if we survive the first few years, our new society might be better than this capitalist hellscape we’ve created for ourselves. especially if those billionaires are safely locked away underground…

    i was thinking about this the other day. In an end of the world as we know it scenario, gasoline will be gone in short order, so most cars will no longer be able to run. which is great.

    However, diesels can be modded to run on other fuels, even used cooking oil. So in theory, if you can get some kind of oil, you can run your diesel. It’s also possible to mod a regular combustion engine to run on ethanol. ethanol is just 100% alcohol. You can make it yourself if you have a still. Albeit, you’d have to have a shitload of grain to get a full tank, you’d still be able to get some fuel every now and then.

    All that being said. If civilization as we know it comes to an end, that just means that we won’t be as connected as we are now. but we’ll still be human, we’ll still want to trade goods, services, art and ideas. You’ll need to connect with your neighbors and cooperate to survive. one will grow something, one will grow something else, one will teach, one will heal, one will brew beers. everyone will meet in the square to exchange their goods and knowledge. so, i guess, if you run out of fuel, just get a horse, or borrow the neighbor’s.

    europe already had shitty practices before americanization could have been an excuse. also, Frontex, AfD, Marine le Pen, Meloni, all that crap, seems to be stemming from a systemic problem in europe with the right wing actual nazis and actual nazi sympathizers. Spain only stopped being a literal fascist country in the 1970s. It’s easy to dunk on America, because America is loudly doing shit that’s obviously bad all the time. But it seems to me that Europe is on par with america, except here in europe, you also have to deal with the Fr*nch.

    i remember watching some wrenching videos where the guy was dumping tens of thousands into a miata, and one thing kinda stuck with me: when you’re in a tiny car, you want to be loud so that the other cars are aware of you. Can you imagine taking out your itty bitty car you spent 50 grand and months or years of work on just to get sideswiped by some jackass in a RAM truck?

    That being said, muscle cars are typically not itty bitty, so i get the frustration
