There’s too many people in this world to say “I’m just going to…”
Might have to go vegan and reduce the amount of resources needed to support a person to a sustainable level. Scary stuff
Light shit on fire
When are we going to run out of gas and fertilizer?
Complain online.
And the stickers, don’t forget the stickers
Competition to secure critical resources is one of the major driving factors in conflict. So we will probably a lot more wars breaking out and some borders shifting. Especially with the cost of war being lower than ever.
Governments around the world will need to increase taxes and borrow then spend to keep people employed and afloat. A lot of places were in a bad spot before so idk what they’ll do. Im not enjoying living in such interesting times thats for sure.
So all the stuff that comes out from the butt? With so many giant assholes in the government we clearly don’t need to worry about that 😅
Everyone’s statistical likelihood of starvation will go up a bit.

Corporations are people. Billionaires aren’t people.
make it from biogas? we can already synthesise basically every oil-based product from non-fossil means, it’s just more expensive.
Economic viability is extremely significant. It “just” becoming more expensive is often enough to kill it in favor of more viable alternatives.
True, but do we have enough biomass to make enough fuel to be independent?
independent of…?
Non reliant on fossil fuels, I’m assuming
Hurt each other and steal.
Good news! Soylent Green can provide both with a bit of processing.
who is “we”? as of now, there’s still oil being extracted and fertilizer being produced, just a bit less of it. if you live in a western country you don’t have to worry too much about it, except higher prices of food and everything that gets transported. if you’re a subsistence farmer in a place like bangladesh then you’re to some degree fucked
I recommend checking out Nate Hagens Youtube channel “The Great Simplification.” He’s been working on this for years and his videos are brilliant. Here’s a few good ones I randomly picked as starting points:
How might daily life feel in the next decades? - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlkAeQ5xdeQ
Protect the irreversible - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMfzVhTWMDM
How to play 5D chess - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPctKcmnTvQ
And his most recent one, 4 things we can’t afford to get wrong - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONtWQjRa0GY
I know recommending videos sucks, who the hell has half an hour to watch a video suggested by an internet stranger? But this guy is the goods in my opinion, he’s worth a listen and I hope at least one person checks him out.
Watch the oceans and waterways heal a little before finding a new way to ruin them.
As soon as the war is over we have to stop all international ships that have been stuck there, they will otherwise act as super spreaders for invasive ocean species
This. We need to prepare for a world where we will be spending the bulk of our income on basic commodities that are currently still cheap.
We can make fuel from air using the Fischer-Tropsch Process. It’s basically the “bad guy reaction” that countries use when the world cuts them out of the oil supply. Like Germany during ww2.
But for a more hopeful take. Maybe we will be less reliant on gas. And there’s plenty of stuff we can use as fertilizer
Synthesizing CH-Chains from air is painfully energy-inefficient. Now that we have good electric motors its smarter to use that energy to power them directly.
The poor parts of the world with lacking electrical infrastructure who also couldn’t afford ““e-fuels”” to replace gasoline would have a pretty hard transition.
What we lack is the rare earth minerals for electricity storage. We’re going to have to war a bit for those.
Sodium-ion batteries use either no or much less rare earth metals and are particularly suited to stationary energy storage.
Germany made synthetic fuels from coal during WW2, not air.
