This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.


Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.


RULES

1 - Remember the human

Easy, sell masks and air purifiers and jack up the price. I live in the midwest and the smoke was so bad from the fires from canada last week my lungs still haven't recovered. I actually did end up buying an air filter too

Why Walgreens started to sell can air right around the time of Covid.

What do you mean? Empty cans? Is it a joke?

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

No it's for real. They were just like the cans in Spaceballs. Next time I am in Walgreens I will take a picture.
