Its fascinating to see that a chinese state controlled app has the power to potentially destabilize small economies.
Also fuck influencers, they are a plague on this world.
SFG’s marketing director said that as things stand farmers in Iceland are not managing to keep up with surging consumer demand, but said she hopes supply will be back to normal “in a week or so”.
Wow, sounds serious.
Ms Sveinsdóttir from the SFG also expressed some scepticism, suggesting other factors were at play. Some cucumber farmers replace their cucumber plants at this time of year, which are not yet producing large amounts, she said.
In addition to this, schools are returning from the summer holidays, which puts additional pressure on supplies.
“Everything is happening at the same time,” Ms Sveinsdóttir observed, but said the social media trend remained one of the main contributing factors.
“This is the first time we have experienced something like this,” Ms Sveinsdóttir said, adding that had the TikTok trend become popular earlier in the summer, “when the [cucumber] production was in full blast” and the shortage would not have been noticeable.
Wow, the Chinese propaganda is so sophisticated! They must have known about all these factors in advance to be able to minorly inconvenience people who want a salad for a whole week. 🙄
those fucking chinese-affiliated influencers and they’re ability to make people eat cucumbers! what’s next, destroying society by tricking the youth into having a little cream cheese on their toast?

Given linguists are wont to confirm that English (d)evolves based on what’s popular, essentially vapid influencer famewhores are driving the evolution of English, and no one with a brain cell. So if you wanted to know why ‘emails’ is wrong as a noun, instead of a lesson on uncountable mass nouns we get “lol, 3 trafficks today, smash that ‘like’ button”.

You’re making it sound like it’s a bad thing people are being influenced to eat healthier. Not to mention, the title is kinda clickbait.

Three influencers downvoted you.

People buying cucumbers doesn’t show any potential for destabilizing an economy.
