I know what it stands for but I still have no idea what the hell the S would be that they are referring to.

If it was explained clearly, the post of said individual doing the explaining would be promptly deleted and probably would receive a CV violation. I agree with Colt....google is one tab away.

No area in the Phoenix area will be good if the "SHTF", especially if the electrical grid fails. You want to survive in the desert without electricity or water?

Why not just bypass that which doesn't interest you? The topic is a bit goofy, but I can scroll right on past that which doesnt suit me.

It definitely is a troll but it is funny. The upscale areas would be the first to go as those people likely do not have the skills to survive when money has zero value.

If the acronym contains a swear word (as this one does - it being the first word) we are not allowed to post it even with **** where the letters of the swear word would be.


Ask me how I know that? (I got in trouble by a moderator for doing so - perhaps it was you :-)).


Clue: the last 3 words are "hits the fan". Hopefully I won't get in trouble for this.

I got a warning recently for doing the same. I have no desire to upset the rules here, I love this forum, but was trying to help someone who was asking. I didn't know it wasn't allowed.

I didn't know either. I thought I was doing the right thing. I'm real bad at understanding talking in abbreviatoons or whatever is, so I understood where the questioner was coming from.

If I offended anybody, please accept my sincerest appologies. I never ever meant to offend anybody. That's not my nature or who I am as a person.
