The melons probably just have to be eaten. If you don't get to all of them (because let's face it, who's gonna eat all that melon) then maybe you could feed it to rabbits or something. this situation is pretty common in rural areas where people have large harvests of single crops all at once, or in a very short timeframe. However in those places there's infrastructure in place to distribute your extra, so idk what you could do here now unless you have friends who are willing to trade. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────┘ --- #6 fediverse/4853 --- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────── ┌────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: cursed-scary-mentioned │ └────────────────────────────┘ wanna know how to go underground? just... don't leave your apartment. let your roommates take out your trash and buy your groceries. don't open your windows and do nothing for as long as possible. hope you got lots of edibles... get in shape, will ya? don't waste the paper in your journals. not that I intend to do that or anything, but um. for the red states maybe? use your best judgement yeah haha ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┘ --- #7 fediverse/2260 --- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: food-mentioned │ └──────────────────────┘ cookies or cheetos for dinner is better than nothing for dinner, but please eat your vegetables when you can. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┘ --- #8 fediverse/2487 --- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────── ┌───────────────────────────┐ │ CW: situational-awareness │ └───────────────────────────┘ do you know where the closest hospital is? grocery store? gas station?
