A sound setup like that’s not going to be cheap

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 week ago

Yeah, I'm saving my 5,000 gallons of diesel fuel to power my 20 ton Doof Wagon with massive sound equipment and flame throwing guitar. That should be enough fuel to intimidate anyone that comes near my compound for about a week.

This is why I'm investing in girl scout cookies. They will have a high trading value AND are edible. The perfect investment vehicle.

AND they're easily frozen, good for long term storage!

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That's a great plan ..... if you live north of the Arctic Circle

[–] 0ops@piefed.zip 5 points 1 week ago

What, you're telling me you don't possess a hamster-powered freezer?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago

Or In yakutia

What's the Thin Mint / guzzoline exchange rate?

[–] ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 week ago

About 0.1 banana

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

That depends on who rules Barter Town

[–] sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Probably 5 thin mints per gallon. In my mind, they are about $1 each. 😉

Counterpoint: If we had taken this thinking in the 80s, when the first Mad Max movies were made, we would have missed out on a lot of money saving.

My point is: don't let movies or some bad recent news guide your planning too much.

In the 80s it was a fantasy, not a real prospect

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That’s what Reagan wanted you to believe.

Yup, if you succumb to the mentality that this meme is joking about you'll one day find yourself old, poor and dependent on other people.

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just to be clear, we're all already poor and dependent on other people

[–] Geometrinen_Gepardi@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I hope you guys get better.

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

That includes you if you don't live on the Sentinel Island or something.

As opposed to tye christofascists who own all the banks deciding what you can abd can't spend your money on.

Saving is censorship. Spend the money you get on infrastructure. Invest in people.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Land, food, and ammo will become the currency.

[–] diptchip@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Maybe replace land with lamb.

[–] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

Good movie btw. Its mad max fury road!

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 7 points 1 week ago

You should save bottlecaps for the future

[–] not_IO@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

when world trade routes collapse the first thing to run out is going to be gas, there is no world where you have no water but plenty of diesel xD

If you'd saved some money, you could afford your own apocalypse truck made from scrap!

From the same director who crafted Babe: Pig in the city, this movie was better than it had any right to be.

[–] plumbercraic@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 week ago

Laughed so hard when that dude showed up. Also loved the bag boys chanting "v8" - what a top film.

[–] redrevjose@lemmings.world 4 points 1 week ago

Will there be nuka cola caps tho???????

This is a clear case of zombie rockerophobia.

Also, the christofascists who own the banks control all that money you're saving.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I am saving money...

To buy a bunker...
