@Kolanaki @The_Picard_Maneuver I guess, depending on *how* you went about setting up the tripwire, the question then becomes “Why didn’t the sprinting giant stop sprinting when it saw a rope being dragged across a gap between two trees and become taut?”.
Yeah, that setup *could* work, but in that timeframe, it feels like it was less plausible, as it would’ve worked better as a prepped beforehand trap.
@ColeSloth @IzzyData As I recall, the issue with the potato famine was more that, if you're *only* growing potatoes, while they grow just about anywhere, they'll also get diseases really easily.
Which is why on the Lemmy instance linked to, people mentioned a variety of crops is the trick.
So, potatoes, but *also* onions, and *also* wheat, and *also* corn is the true answer, as I understand.
