Huh, maybe I should give it a try……

How about dazzle points? Sparkleshine?

Reading small font text has not been shown to cause damage to the eyes (although you may experience eye strain from prolonged accommodation). However, long-duration near work has been found repeatedly to be associated with a greater risk of developing myopia or nearsightedness: https://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12889-022-14377-1

I’m a visual psychophysicist. We often recommend that people take breaks when doing near-work. The 20-20-20 rule: look at something that is 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes.

Ah, Barney Stinson in real life

That’s so bold of you to assume they’re making the high school bullies do their own paperwork.

We couldn’t even get them to fill out a single page card for the national crime database.

My problem with preppers is the over estimating on whether they’ll be in a position that these skills will have any effect, and the under valuing on steps we could just take to not have this future in the first place.

Like, you’ll need a farm right off the bat, or your first steps in any guider are how to violently take somebody else’s land. Followed by step two, keeping that land from other humans who don’t want to die.

Instead of prepping, become nomadic scroungers or live in a fricking farming commune in the first place. Basically descend a couple levels of societal development and you’ll already be self sufficient and ready. Like the Amish.

Or, you know, voting for politicians who listen to scientists.

Anything beyond being self sufficient for a month is overkill in my opinion.
