What would you do in a post-scarcity world?
 

This is seriously what you do with your precious internet time in the Philippines?

Yes. I'm building up to changing my sig to SEO optimize my website written by a million Filipinos. (I actually might do that, other than the sig SEO crap. Good business opportunity.)

And I have unlimited internet now. It's really slow so I can write posts while waiting for the "post new thread" graphic to finish loading.

What are the health benefits of bananas?

If you were so rich I'd imagine you'd have a lot of shoes already and might not need so many new ones.

Overconsumption is leading to deforestation and the loss of farm land. Soon there will be no real bananas. Just the GM ones that Monsanto says can be planted in the residue of our toenail clippings in any convenient spot in our alloted ten square feet. They taste like ****. There may still be those super expensive ones the EU will grow in Poland once the climate changes central Europe into the tropics, but they will have banned export of their real food by that time. They'll need it all unless they relax their ban on GM imports, but after the anti-science movement takes over I doubt that will be very likely.

Can I buy a banana for P25?

Is it gold plated? For 1.20 of any non-banana currency it had better be gold plated.

I'd make cheese... maybe even beer as well. I like making stuff I enjoy.

Japher, you've just solved the internet.

See you all later.

So that shop down the road is scandalously charging exorbitant prices for bananas?

You can get all the bananas you want here, for "free" if you're willing to go harvest them up in the mountains. In market they'll cost you ~P15/kg. If you write me an article about your experience and how healthy it was, you can afford a kg and still have a bit of change left over!

I said you'd have a bit of change left over! I value your contribution to my bank account very highly. You are as important to the health of this organization as a banana is to the health of the urinary tract!

Aeson, I would happily chip in to get you a copy of Civ 5 if it meant you'd write about it. If you did that, I might even buy a copy myself and play it.
