>>21583543Lost my job, all income, gf and was super depressed after covid, the electric company cut my power, no refrigerator, microwave, PC, etc.... considered hanging myself unironically. At one point I had no money and hadn't eaten in days. Scrounging through cupboards I found some stale oats which were opened at least a couple years ago. Soaked them in COLD water. Found some home made prune preserve at least 5 years old in the nasement. Added some of it to the cold oats. That shit was awful. No taste, cold, stale... I'll remember that for a long time.
If anyone cares things did get better. I make good money again and this time have a big ass storage of canned goods, pasta, rice, honey, etc. for when SHTF again.
