Funniest possible treat shortage would be fireworks. Independence Day is only 2 months away. Fireworks were originally invented in China. 82% of fireworks in the world are made in China.

Every Independence Day of Trump's first presidency, the hogs went wild with fireworks. Imagine July 4, the first Independence Day of Trump's second term, and a shortage of fireworks. Hogs would go nuts.

I’ll bet anything that most of the fireworks will be procured before the tariffs. Probably a bit of an increase of prices, but not insane. Next year though? Lol

I did some websurfing, saw some various news articles on firework tariffs. Some firework companies have halted shipments. Then I came across the /r/fireworks subreddit. I'm seeing a lot of posts by people who are saying that they are firework retailers and have canceled their orders from China. Some posts say that the tariff on fireworks was at 59% as of 25 days ago. People are saying that 2026 is "America's 250th Birthday", 250 years since 1776. Time will tell, I guess

amerikkka ingenuity + fireworks shortage = loads of ER admissions.

I was imagining that hogs will decide to fire guns haphazardly in lack of fireworks. I hadn't considered hogs crafting homemade fireworks but that would be very funny as well.

Lack of chocolate and coffee due to global warming is gonna cause some fits. Idk if it is running for the banks kinda fits but definitely some imperial anxiety

Isn’t it always toilet paper, for Freudian reasons?

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

I still think the the toilet paper hoarding during the pandemic was because they copied what they saw on tv. If you're fillming multiple takes of chaotic crowds in a store to show a burgeoning disaster its easier if you have the extras carry toilet paper than heavy bags of rice.

it’ll just force the remaining barbarians to get a $30 bidet

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Unfortunately no, some folks just refuse to wash their damn asses.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

but it won't be $30, it will be at least $60 if not $90 muahahahaha!

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

And it'll require a phone app to set up and use.

Know someone who has a wifi enabled bidet that becomes inoperable during software updates.

Garlic bulbs have gotten hella small the left few weeks

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

Are we at risk of this? Because that's not something I want to hear.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

More than half of garlic sold in the US is imported, mostly from China.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

it will be considerably easier for domestic garlic production to be stepped up than manufactured goods.

People make their whole personalities the 'tee hee I luv coffee' sort, so I would guess that. Or ice cream in the summer, close call.
