I'm going to start a new currency backed by guitar pedals. It'll be a limited supply, sound money.
Just ask @vladcostea
@pete @vladcostea Might as well. Generally speaking most pedals are built to withstand a nuclear event and are small enough to take several with you in a suitcase.
@NunyaBidness @vladcostea OTOH, unlike acoustic guitars, you'll need to scour the post-apocalyptic landscape for generators.
Check out Tom Scholz's (founder of the band Boston) history in circuit engineering and be amazed!
Potato batteries.
@NunyaBidness @vladcostea IN POST APOCALYPTIC FUTURE POTATOES ARE FOR EATING!
Sheeeeeeeeet. Potatoes are are easy as shit to grow.
Coconut batteries . . . now that's a different story altogether.
@NunyaBidness @vladcostea Serious response: the power in a potato battery actually comes from the metallic electrodes, not the potato.
@pete @NunyaBidness @vladcostea I'm ready for post-apocalyptic distortion pedals. When I studied electronics at trade school, I built a distortion pedal from parts found in an old coffee brewer.
It was like 1 NPN transistor, 2 capacitors, 4 resistors.
