@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.
@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.
