I never gave TikTok permission to access my phone contacts yet it's still suggesting people I personally know from my contact list as People You May Know
That raises a serious question: if contact syncing is turned off, how does the app know these connections?

Adulting is just playing hide-and-seek with your own sanity... except the 'seeker' is your WiFi bill and the hiding spot is 3am doom-scrolling while eating cereal like it's a personality trait. 😂
Only one country can feed itself entirely: Guyana.
If international food trade suddenly stopped tomorrow, just one country on Earth would be able to feed its entire population without any imports.
A 2025 study in Nature Food examined the domestic production capacity of 186 countries across seven key food categories. The finding was striking: only Guyana—a small South American nation with under one million inhabitants—currently produces enough of all seven categories to achieve full nutritional self-sufficiency.
China and Vietnam came closest, meeting the threshold in six out of seven categories, but every other country fell short of complete independence. Fewer than 15% of nations were self-sufficient in even five of the seven groups. Six countries, including Qatar, Iraq, and Afghanistan, failed to meet the benchmark in any category.
The seven categories were grains, vegetables, fruits, meat and dairy proteins, oils, and sugar. Today, the vast majority of countries depend on global trade to fill critical gaps in their food supply. In many cases, more than half of a nation’s food imports come from a single trading partner—an acute risk in an era of rising geopolitical and climate instability.
Even regional blocs fare poorly. The Gulf Cooperation Council is self-sufficient only in meat, while the Caribbean Community and West African nations reach the mark in just two categories each.
The researchers’ warning is unambiguous: although trade brings dietary variety and efficiency, excessive dependence on imports—especially when concentrated in one or two suppliers—leaves most of the world dangerously exposed.
In a planet defined by interconnected food systems, Guyana stands alone as the quiet exception.

Dear ultra rich people on X, I’ve been working on a video where we feed people in need globally and if any of you wouldn’t mind donating a million dollars to help us feed more people that’d mean the world to me! Pretty plz 🥺
