[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 18 points 3 months ago (1 child) [off topic?] After 9/11 some New Yorkers were carrying gas masks with them everywhere in case there was another attack. Someone pointed out that if you were on a subway during a gas attack and you had a gas mask, you wouldn't be killed by the gas. Same thing with food. If people are starving and you have food, you're going to have to deal with that. Can you stay awake 24/7? permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 22 points 3 months ago (1 child) Okay, but if OP is primarily worried about food costing more rather than food not being available stocking up on nonperishables is legit. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 3 points 3 months ago True permalink fedilink source parent
