  • pretty much all agriculture, grocery, etc would become luxury and less needed or used.

    But if everything is reset every day, you still have the same stock of food available every day, and it never depletes (beyond the depletion that happens in 1 day, but that gets reset quickly). And any money made from selling food is also not kept. I can’t imagine food sellers would be bothered to try enforce their prices when profits etc don’t matter. Maybe food just becomes free. If we’re optimistic, people might prioritise getting food to people who are already starving, since the people who are well-fed won’t be too bothered by going a day without food.







  • I guess my experience with open social media is that there are far too many radlibs who insert themselves into communist discussion spaces. On platforms like Twitter the effect is less bad as you can select who to follow and your followers will select themselves too. But the maximum extent of discussing organising strategies etc I do with online people I don’t organise with, is discussing things with a private Matrix group of some online friends who all have solid politics and are good organisers in their local scene (we mostly live in different countries). I think a lemmy community around organising would probably attract a lot of low-quality discussion, based on what I’ve seen of organising talk on public social media.

    And I just don’t see the necessity of going beyond your orgs to discuss strategy. People do write articles about strategy you can share and discuss with your org, but we’ve never discussed social media posts about strategy. You can discuss union strategy with your union; unions should provide organising training to its members. Unless unions are practically nonexistent where you are and you’re starting from scratch, but at least here you can join the union for your trade and you’ll be trained on how to organise by union organisers. For non-union orgs, if it’s self-sufficient and large enough you can get plenty of fruitful discussion among your comrades, and it will be tailored to your specific context and organisation. I don’t even know what country you live in; how am I supposed to give you the most effective advice as an internet stranger?











  • You haven’t mentioned if there are any ethical concerns with this new meat; e.g. environmental cost of the production process, what kind of human labour is required to create it, who is providing that labour and under what conditions are they working.

    Provided I had no ethical concerns with it, sure, but a lot of modern innovations tend to have these issues and I assume lab-grown meat would have these issues too.

    Edit: Also, I’m opposed to animal captivity, so if there’s an ongoing need to collect samples from captive livestock then no, I wouldn’t. If it’s a “collect it once then it keeps reproducing from the lab samples forever” type of thing then sure.
