I was never implying famine wasn't a thing, it has toppled empires... But to say one season of bad harvest will kill off everyone is ludicrous...

- bluGill 4mo agoI didn't say it would kill everyone though. I said it would kill you. Your neighbors may get just enough to survive, but not enough to keep you alive. (If they have surplus they would help you survive - with the expectation you would return that favor in 10-20 years when the situation reverses.
