“The end is near.” is now a marketing tagline. Capitalism has become complete.

I'm picturing like a trendy Fitbit style workout but with some fun post apocalypse survival sprinkled in there like instead of flipping a tire on it's side or something, you're carrying a water heater full of clean water on your back for miles or challenging yourself to exercise after you haven't eaten in over 24-48 hours while being asked to play the sound of bombs dropping and screaming on full blast (heh) on your surround sound system the night before coming in hungry and sleep deprived...

You know, to really sell it!

Given the popularity of Escape Rooms, you might ironically be onto something.

Adrenaline is a hell of a workout motivator

does anyone else see a skull wearing a red bandana in the thumbnail, or am I too high

itinerantme@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 62d

Not too high. I had to squint first, but I see it.

kanata

... Is this in Canada?

The bottom of the gym ad says “Ottawa sign rentals”, so I’d say it checks out

Kanata is a town (or maybe just a neighbourhood?) just outside of Ottawa, the capital city of Canada. I have no idea if the similar-sounding names are related.

Skullgrid@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 62d

I think the word is a native/indigenous/"Amerindian" word for village or similar. It's where the origin or the word "Canada" comes from.

By the way, happy Canada day to all Canadians and friends of Canada. I would like to count myself as the latter, as I enjoy much of their musicians' works.

Edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_of_Canada#Etymology

The name Canada is now generally accepted as originating from the St. Lawrence Iroquoian word kanata ([kana:taʔ]), meaning 'village' or 'settlement'.

idk i feel like purposely losing all my body fat the day the world ends is a bad idea. i could use a bit of cardio though hah

I’m just gonna collect some cool martial arts weapons, learn to use them, and see how things pan out.

Well it will help, but without other survival skills you’re still toast.

Your mad max fantasy means nothing if you die of dysentery.

jaybone@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 62d (1 reply)

But there’s still toast?

BitchPeas@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 62d

Yum toast!

Nah, I plan to be shot by some poor sod like a real man. That or starving to death. But hey, maybe I'd look good during the first one..

Lets say you have a spool of copper wire a magnet and car batteries. How do you make electricity with this?
