[–] jordanlund@lemmy.one 38 points 2 years ago (3 children) I was doing tech work back then (still do, but I used to, too!) It was a lot of low scale doomsday prepping. Making sure you had enough canned goods and water and stuff. Majority of folks had no clue and did no prep at all. Tiny minority went end times level. I made sure that I had 6 gallons of water in the fridge and groceries. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Ashyr@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago (1 child) My favorite Mitch Hedburg joke.
