The problem with a hat like this is that if I saw this person from a distance, I wouldn't look closely enough to read it.

My understanding of the word "shitpost" is that it means good-natured trolling.

Once our little fossil-fueled civilizational experiment comes to a halt, most of us will be, like it or not.

Would love to have a beer, or three, with this fine gentleman.

Get to know him well enough, I bet he breaks out some moonshine that'll put hair on your toenails!

You apparently didn't hear about Renewables.

Isn’t it some form of renewables? Growing food with the sun.
Though I prefer to just water edible wild stuff occasionally instead of putting to much energy in growing it intentionally.

I guess most of historical civilizations heard of renewables. Why didn't they have intercontinental flights and chemical fertilizers with a population of 8 billion?
Do you honestly think we're going to wave a magic wand and pooff, same lifestyle but with sunshine?
What's coming in the next 50 years will make the 21st century so far look like a picnic in the park.

Have you ever tried growing... anything? Do you have any idea what that's like without chemical pesticides and fertilizers?
There's a reason agriculture used to occupy most of people's time.

It frustrates me that the independent, “keep to myself and don’t trust the government” personalities love gas/oil and not solar panels/batteries. Can’t remember a time we invented a war in the Middle East to steal their sunlight.

I have gardened without gas, fertilizer or pesticides for years.

Soil nutrients, unfortunately, are mostly petroleum derived these days. Another reason to not just burn it, but nobody listens to me.

Fantastic. Now extrapolate that to supporting 8 billion people, with your kind of gardening and what it will mean for that civilization.
Do you support yourself 100% of the time with that gardening? Or is it a relaxing hobby?
I'm talking about how we got to 8 billion people. Here's a hint, it's not by gardening.
So you're telling me you never drive your car somewhere to buy seeds or tools? And they got to the store without trucks?
The clothes you wear to garden? You made them yourself? You have sheep? A spinning jenny?
The people working at the store to unload the trucks? They also eat food that came into being without gas, fertilizer, or pesticides?
Look, you've been gardening with gas, fertilizer, and pesticides all along. You just didn't see it.
That's my point. You can hug yourself and pat yourself on the back as much as you want, but without fossil fuels, you wouldn't have the lifestyle that lets you type away at a computer while your fridge is full of food from the supermarket...

That's a complete mischaracterization. Intensive mono cropping is time and labor intensive because you have to factor in inevitable losses in crop yield (due to blight, pests, etc.) plus the labor costs of harvesting a single crop that all matures at once.
The costs of soil nutrition are also exacerbated because monocropping extracts nutrients from the soil with very little return (there's a lot of hubbub about rotational cropping with clover and things like that, but it's not a long-term solution, especially when you're bleeding money for having a field go fallow)Building up soil diversity is 100% about working with nature to build crop and soil diversity, and letting natural processes accumulate to produce optimal growing conditions. The issue is it's not very scaleable, and so grumpy Westerners and urbanites toss it aside because they don't want to actually grow the food, they just want to feel good about buying it
