      Saw an ad for shelf stable food that gave this vibe. They ended by explaining what and how to use a QR code. Definitely have a target audience

    I mean, fall, for Americans, is a period within autumn in which the leaves of most trees fall… Not the whole season. Here’s some sauce from the world’s worst English dictionary.

    Edit: Excerpts:

    A number of writers used the phrase “the fall of the leaves,” which then came to be associated with the season. This phrase was shortened in the 1600s to fall.

    And quoted from a poet, in turn their friend:

    “In North America the season in which this [the fall of the leaf] takes place, derives its name from that circumstance, and instead of autumn is universally called the fall.”

      legit, here in sweden we got a pamphlet about how we live in troubled times (again) and what you should do and be prepared for, one of the things it mentions is to just buy an extra package of rice or pasta or such every now and then and keep that stored away just in case.

      If you live in an apartment (especially an older one from when war was fresh on people’s minds) go check if you have an extra pantry in the cellar, that’s where you should stock up on water and shelf stable foods.
