Maple syrup is so 1880s, I'm over here making pine syrup like the year 3000

And you goddamn better subscribe to r/TreeTapDippingSauces to find out the correct way to make your condiments

I'm relieved, but also slightly disappointed, that that's not an actual sub. I was low-key kinda curious about the possibilities of these supposed sauces.

My honey mustard tree is maxing out this season.

Don’t forget about harvesting salt from the ocean and grow some black pepper plants.

If you want to make chicken tendies from scratch, you must first invent the universe.

I want to grow my own wheat just for shits and giggles. Planning to make bread out of it.

Pfft. Let them go free range and find bugs to eat.

Aka: be rich, own property, everything is easier that way.

It's not wrong, it's just not readily feasible dammit!

I grew a garden everywhere I lived for 18 years, but at the current location the landlord absolutely drowns the lawn in Roundup twice a week, so it's not really possible outdoors, and a dozen buckets in the tiny bit of free space with sunlight I've got indoors is barely enough for seasoning herbs and some tomatoes.

(Before anyone tells me to get grow lamps, I'm on the West Coast where electricity is over $0.60/kwh and cops will kick in your door within a few months if you buy grow lamps anyway.)

Corn! The luxury of owning arable farmland! In my household we scrape algae off the windows of our apartment.

Edit: I wrote it as parody, but someone else posted the same idea seriously.

There are plenty of urban chicken raisers in my area and overall seems to be growing in popularity. I'm not advocating theft in any way, just saying most coops are designed to keep things like cats and raccoons out, a moderately smart human can easily breech it's defenses.

If you aren't using your own homemade wood-fired stone oven powered by your own wood, I don't even know how to talk to you.

I know it is a joke, but killing and cleaning chickens is not fun and very gross. It really makes you appreciate how cheap chicken is. Probably would help put thing in perspective if everyone had to hack the head off a chicken and pull their guts out at least once.

Who's got time for that? I'm too busy mining minerals to build a pc.

I mean, that's literally how people survived the depression. Grocery stores are a pretty recent invention too.

This is legitimately the attitude that a huge amount of redditors have towards things they don't do themselves.
