Strange Tim@ScottSoCal @peterb All those avocado toasts coming home to roost
INVISV@geekyonion @ScottSoCal @peterb If I can be a plant nerd for a moment, I've always found the avocado toast thing to be hilariously strange. Avocados literally grow on trees in California, and anyone who wants to grow them in their backyard can plant one and in a few years have more than they can possibly eat. (We were getting over 2000 avocados a year from a tree at a place we rented a couple of years ago.)
We have a little baby avocado tree in the backyard that got old enough to produce a couple of years ago, and it works for us.

They grow here like that too. I think they're only expensive in Europe where they don't grow so readily.

@syllusg @geekyonion @ScottSoCal @peterb The amazing thing is with climate zones shifting and the urban heat island effect, it's possible to grow Avocados across a wide swath of Western Europe, including all of the Mediterranean countries plus UK, Ireland, and maybe even Belgium and the Netherlands.

Yes but most farmers deny climate change is real so adaption is slow.

webhat@syllusg @invisv @geekyonion @ScottSoCal @peterb when the price of avocados hit a tipping point in Europe some years back fields with avocado trees started popping up all over Spain, I was told this was the case especially in the South when I visited an avocado grove there.
In the Netherlands, where I live, during the summer season avocados can be bought in shops for as little as €0.50 each. The whole sale price is even lower, and I can only imagine how low the price is that is paid to farmers.
@webhat @invisv @geekyonion @ScottSoCal @peterb wow so avocado toast is not the source of our financial woes! I wonder what it could be 🤔
jollyrogue@invisv It was also the cheapest thing on the menu, at one time.

Or just skipping breakfast entirely? I hear that fixes financial difficulties.

They should try mending their socks and NOT getting the newest smart phone.
TransitBiker@peterb funny, but it was an inside job with the CEO & some investors out to rob the place. Their bullshit triggered a panic. Execs got paid bonuses hours before the place collapsed.

belikekramer@peterb why are they so afraid of losing money? Am sure they can rebuild that business in a year, given how much they like to remind us how "self made" they are
