Donuts for the sweetiepies, peppers for my hot takes

EASY TO PRETEND THEY'RE 12

2017-04-12 20:58:57 UTC  

A varna forms

2017-04-12 20:58:58 UTC

2017-04-12 20:59:02 UTC

If/when NK "opens up"

2017-04-12 21:02:25 UTC  

there will be a critical period

2017-04-12 21:02:37 UTC  

where their differences from the rest of the modern world are apparent

2017-04-12 21:02:42 UTC  

that won't even last a generation I think

2017-04-12 21:03:12 UTC  

I wonder if it would be feasible to cage some

2017-04-12 21:03:22 UTC  

probably not

2017-04-12 21:04:15 UTC  

if it happens I'm going to go into the business of authentic NK cuisine

2017-04-12 21:04:23 UTC  

minus cash supply for their elites

2017-04-12 21:05:01 UTC  

Banana peel and old boiled slipper

2017-04-12 21:05:07 UTC  

entree

2017-04-12 21:05:58 UTC  

is it really that bad

2017-04-12 21:06:16 UTC  

how can they not have enough food

2017-04-12 21:06:20 UTC  

do they export it all

2017-04-12 21:07:07 UTC  

it's not

2017-04-12 21:07:14 UTC  

there have been periods of famine though

2017-04-12 21:07:28 UTC  

the problem isn't exactly that they don't have enough food, though that is an issue too

2017-04-12 21:07:43 UTC  

it's they don't have a real answer for variation and unexpected events

2017-04-12 21:07:50 UTC  

so like Africa, a bad season can lead to a mass die off

2017-04-12 21:08:17 UTC  

Agriculture relied on electrically powered irrigation systems and artificial fertilizers and pesticides, and was hard hit by the economic collapse.[16][17]

2017-04-12 21:08:22 UTC  

re: the 90s famine

2017-04-12 21:08:35 UTC  

yeah

2017-04-12 21:09:11 UTC  

koreans have a long history of intensive agriculture

2017-04-12 21:09:15 UTC  

and are no africans

2017-04-12 21:09:25 UTC  

so if things are bad, they are really bad

2017-04-12 21:09:39 UTC  

shit is also bad for the old Soviet Russia reasons

2017-04-12 21:09:52 UTC  

yeah but isn't like 80% of the population farmers

2017-04-12 21:10:58 UTC  

I think so, not sure

2017-04-12 21:11:26 UTC  

probably if they fed themselves only in a localized, communal fashion

2017-04-12 21:11:28 UTC  

they would be fine

2017-04-12 21:12:21 UTC  

but then you add scale, and you add no real connection to their own production

2017-04-12 21:17:42 UTC  

@fallot yeah I've heard of the LBrothers from some random blog rec years ago.

2017-04-12 21:18:38 UTC  

sry for wikipedo

2017-04-12 21:40:42 UTC  

@fallot most Africans live at an early iron age level.
