They're all so freaking old.

I think Trump is the young one.

I'm not getting it... I might have missed some old post this one relates to. What's that about? Is it by any chance connected to your proud achievement of a double bean flick today?

The haiku itself is beautiful. Pity for the messed up syllable count.

Nah, you haven't missed anything at all, it's just I'm overexcited for a very good reason:
She's half my age, G.O.D. damn it.

*. Can somebody please explain why my syllables are wrong. My take is that it's the same.
I'd like to fix this. Unless it's an acoustic thing.

If the real shit happens you'll need a property of land to be able to produce food. Stocking food for 1 month lasts only for 1 month. What if things get longer? Well in that case you would depend on your governments. I hope everything will be fine and we won't need that.

Twenty-one years old,
her scent is of mixed flowers,
who's your daddy?
#haiku

"who's" is one syllable. Fix it by "Who is your daddy ?"

Thnx Bob, but then why does the syllable counter consider them (who's) as two?
Is this like a google translation thing?

[Cryptotourist]

Is this like a google translation thing?

Yes it is! I took the phone help to sort things out, and I quote:

"who is" is two syllables, but if you use the apostrophes then it becomes one syllable.

[Cryptotourist]

Syllable counting,
what haiku is all about,
such an epic fail.

I got this motherfuckers.

It would be more practical and cost effective for most just to stock 1 year supply of tinned food. If real shit happens, and goes for that long, you plantation will probably be raided by hordes of hungry and violent people way sooner.

Many assumptions that people do make when they consider some sort of "real shit" scenario are wrong or not the really shitty scenario conditions. Ie: Will you have enough water supply to keep growing your veggies? Food to feed your livestock? Will you be able to protect your "land"?

So Keep it simple: Have resources ready to use that don't depend on external resources or conditions. Tin food is probably the best and you have ages to consume it even if you overstock. So no real extra cost here. Heck, maybe you will even manage to get a quantity discount!

Anyway, I still think this levels of paranoia are too much unjustified... but if you want to be "prepped", do it the right way. The simpler the better.

Couldn't agree more:

[Last of the V8s]

There was a young bitcoiner called cryptotourist
Who, far from being a haiku purist
Used dodgy counting tools
Taking us all quite for fools
And telling us all about his poor wrist.

Boomers are nocoiners. Except for Jimbo of course.

There are exceptions on every level

Which is exactly why there is no reason for the boomers here to be butthurt when I talk about how they all deserve to die. Exceptions know they are exceptions, and the smart ones understand how averages work.

Now extrapolate to the entire world being infected. Cause that's the most likely scenario. Show us the numbers.

Of course. Baby Boomers will *never* give up power.

Yes! Isolated and self sufficient communties have advantage in that case.

I would say the Korean numbers are probably the most accurate in the world because they are testing everyone. The US charges for everything so most sick people are not going to go to the hospital for a slight sickness. China and Iran are outright lying.

Based on the Korean numbers, the death rate is 0.5% but likely higher because of the lag between getting sick and dying, but let's say it's 0.5%. If the whole world gets it, that's 35 million people dead. Granted, a lot of these people would have died from the flu or some other disease anyway but still, that is a lot of people.

Interestingly though, if the Korean numbers are correct, there should be over 600,000 infected in China based on 3000 deaths, rather than the 80,000 they are reporting.

Gentle reminder that the death rate continues to be calculated wrong. It's dead/(dead+cured). Which is closer to 10%, especially as the world gets overwhelmed. Supposedly all of England only has 15 beds for serious cases.

And yeah china is lying. Not only are they commies and thus prone to lying in the first place, but they also have glass hearts. They can't tolerate looking bad. Just assume it's at least ten times as bad as what they are saying.
