    It's been a thing for quite a while. I want to say about 10 years ago I was watching a bunch of off grid YouTube videos and more than a couple people turned their cars into short range EVs.

    More recently I've seen a few videos from a professional shop in Cali that does it for classic cars, also you have Jerry Rig Everything converting a Humvee.

    It's been a thing and will probably end up being more and more common

    Pikes Peak is a 14 thousand foot tall mountain in Colorado. It's one of the most iconic mountains of the US, and is sometimes referred to as Americas Mountain. However if you go north about 75 miles from pikes peak you are at Denver which usually makes simplified maps like this one, Pikes Peak is rarely noted on maps

    So, veteran here. I've tried to talk people out of joining the military or at least trying to avoid jobs with high probability of seeing combat. Usually the result is they just start prying about what combat is like and make statements about how much they want to experience it.

    Another tack I haven't tried but it might be more effective, is to describe how miserable it is to have the stench of a burn pit wafting over you, always wondering if the distant gunfire will move in your direction, being stuck manning a 24/7 watch where if even one person who can do that job dies or is otherwise incapacitated you will be stuck doing 12hr shifts instead of 8. Then you get back home and have to fight tooth and nail for benefits from the country that fucked your life up in the first place.

    War is hell, coming home is hell, forcing that on someone can only be justified if they are literally at home fighting off an invading force.

    So, why do we need a supermarket? Is there any reason a supermarket couldn't be replaced with it's contingent parts? A butcher, a veggie shop, a convenience food shop, a pharmacy, a bakery, and a condiments shop?

    I don't see why they have to be stapled together when separate works just fine. All of which could fairly practically be stocked individually by small light duty trucks, or even a bike with a decently sized trailer.

    I also don't see why even if you staple everything together, a cargo tram wouldn't work. Have two, a passenger tram that works one route, and a cargo line that runs by the loading bays of local stores. They can be switched on and off the overarching infrastructure without interfering with each other.

    It would be a paradigm shift for the US, but I fail to see how it would be an unworkable one.

    Actually it's probably rabbits, they take very little in terms of feed and water to get meat from especially if you go for a meat rabbit breed. Bonus points if you go for one who's fur is worth more, like the American Chinchilla vs the pure white ones that get a little bigger.

    Though for maximum efficiency you really have to go for insects melee worms and crickets are up there in terms of protein conversion.

    Whales are impractical like most carnivores since you have to raise their food, wasting plant matter to then feed the carnivore it's meals making it roughly twice as inefficient to eat a carnivore over an herbivore.

    There is also the land use issue to get land use as minimal as possible you need to maximize calories/protein per acre and how possible that is will vary with the location. Some locations goats are ideal since traditional agriculture is impossible and they can forage effectively on it.

    Also water constraints will limit what your best option is for maximizing the end goal, anyway I'm so far of track....
