We were meant to be rugged individuals, but rugged individuals living in a community with other rugged individuals.
Also, farming has always been a hard job. People who garden are doing the kinds of farming that farmers did before automation became a thing, but they’re doing it on a tiny scale. One farmer using non-industrial methods is going to have to really work like a mule to keep just themselves and their family alive. So, gardening using those same methods is never going to produce enough calories and nutrients for anything meaningful.
That’s because we were never meant to be rugged individuals. It’ll be a lot more survivable if we build stronger communities.
Sometimes gardening is just a hobby, tho
Yeah but this meme is specifically talking about trying to survive after the world collapses
It is a self deprecating joke about the terrible output of their personal garden because they are not good at it, not gardens in general.
Yes but it was more joking that 4 tomatoes from your personal garden will not be enough to survive the collapse.
Post-collapse society is going to be boring af. You better have some hobbies.
Building strong communities is like rule number one in serious pepper communities
Yes they are jalapeno their communities. They are too spicy to ignore.
Selfish individually is a capsaicin.
