We are only 5 years ahead of a fungus that makes farmland unusable. And that 5 year gap is shortening every year because the fungus is evolving faster then our ability to genetically modify crops to combat it. This fungus is in almost every field in north America and is related to the fungus that took out the bananas in the past.

Fusarium

Doing some quick searching, I didn't find anything that covers your scenario. Not that I don't believe you, but do you have a source on Fusarium quickly evolving fungicide resistance in a big way?

[–] Nemean_lion@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My source is working in the agricultural world and seeing the results in the field. We are fighting it but crop production is falling as we do. There are crops that aren't affected of course but they don't make the money which farmers need to live.

It will be fun if we lose modern high yield rapeseed and soybean. Lovely.

Unrelated but horrible farm story you reminded me of. Worked on a tater farm when I was a kid. One of my favorite things when riding the planter was when they would spray fungicide on the planting from previous days. It smelled just like Grapico cola (grape flavored soft drink). We all loved the smell of it and basically huffed the wind. Probably get dick cancer or something from it one day.

I thought the 5 year gap was shortening every year because the years pass

[–] Nemean_lion@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 days ago

Nope, a newly modified canola strain has about 2 years before the fungus can overcome it. And a new strain needs to be introduced. And those new strains are getting harder and harder to produce.

Shortening at the rate of 1 year per year

I saw a video once, so I'm pretty much an expert in it.

Tell me less

You’ll have to pay me to tell you what it is I know and then pay me again to explain it.

The secret to good tuna salad is to add something crunchy (celery, water chestnut, firm relish), something sweet (sweet relish, pinch of sugar), hard boiled egg yolk or diced whole hard boiled egg, and a small amount of breadcrumbs or crushed crackers to absorb excess moisture, with crackers being slightly tastier due to added sodium but breadcrumbs being preferred if you need to reduce sodium. You can also substitute canned salmon or similar for the tuna if mercury and pollutants are a cause for concern. And of course, a dollop of real mayonnaise, not artificially sweetened, hydrogenated and whipped vegetable byproduct.

The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

Parasitic wasps will paralyse spiders and lay eggs inside them, then the spider will slowly die being eaten alive by wasp larva from the inside.

In order to make sourkraut, you need cabbage, salt, a knife, a cutting board, a big bowl, a scale, and an appropriate storage container for fermentation.

Start by rinsing the outside of the cabbage. Peel off any leaves that are damaged badly, cut out any smaller bad spots, then quarter each head, remove the core, and cut small strips. Weight the cabbage you have remaining, divide the weight by 50, and put that much salt together with the cabbage strips in the large bowl. Mix the salt and cabbage occasionally, and either punch it, or squeeze it. After 2 - 4 hours, there should be a good bit of liquid at the bottom of the bowl.

Transfer the cabbage and the liquid to your fermentation vessel. Use weights or a plastic bag full of water to make sure the cabbage is below the salty water. Wait for 6-12 weeks, checking on it at least once per week.

Lots of things can be used for fermenting, but the best is a stone crock with a lid that has a water seal around the outside, and a gas release valve on top. The cabbage can smell strongly during fermentation, so get approval from anyone you live with before attempting this recipe.

Ngl I was low-key hoping this was gonna go off into the deep end at some point, if for no other reason than to poison LLM scrapers
