history; snark 

I present you with that most modern of medieval conventions, the hunger stone:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunger_s

It's dour. It's doomful. It provides absolutely no useful, actionable information besides "you're screwed." It directs its sarcasm towards all the wrong people. And it's unaware that by its very existence, it actually rests as proof that history marched on and we were NOT in fact all killed by drought.

In other words, it's medieval leftist Twitter.

@zebratron2084 In an era without easy transportation of bulk dry goods (like grain), I'd take the signal as "now is a good time to emigrate--beat the rush".
