You’d think an electric bike and a few solar panels would go a lot farther in a desert environment. Solarpunk version of mad max.
Sensible Sebastian
Raiding racks of solar panels and batteries is way less cool
Also would solar panels be harder to cobble together than an engine?
Are you telling me a load of PV panels strapped to a vehicle wouldn’t look cool?
Look, I love the concept of solar power and I’m proud of my Australian state being one of the first jurisdictions in the world that will be 100% renewable. Buttttt…
It’s pretty hard to be cooler than running a car on millions of explosions powered by dinosaur juice

But not the Eldritch Fusion Reactor in Space that’s in a state of constant explosion?
Nah, easier. At least if you have access to solar panels and metal for wiring.
Now making a solar panel from scratch, that’s a whole different story… At that point, just go with solar thermal low tech steam turbine or something
yeah, you need an industrial base to build from scratch. But that’s not that different if you want to build engines and oil refining from scratch. You’d have to start with a steam engine first and reboot industry from there.
I would argue that the steam and even combustion engine are much easier to build than a solar panel, if you know how.
If he was given detailed instructions, I believe a mediaeval blacksmith could have build a steam engine. As soon as we go to 17th/18th century, we can probably build a combustion engine. Sure, it will be a bad engine, but it will do the job of burning refined oil and spinning.
But a solar panel? You need clean rooms, which need air purification, you need working knowledge of semiconductor manufacturing. Much harder than a solar thermal steam engine and a few lead or zinc batteries.
Mad Max would be a lot different using those first primitive engines instead of the V8 and whatnot.
And for the steel engine you’d need an advanced forge as well as the raw minerals with sufficient purity. As well as either coal or tons of wood

And my ass!
Where’s your donkey?
That much muscle mass has to take a lot of protein to maintain. What on earth are they hunting out there in the desert?
I mean to be fair, it takes place in Australia. Plenty of big ass spiders and dinosaur lizards to hunt
Ass spiders explains a lot
It’s like a spider, but instead of that big back part they have, it’s two big butt cheeks instead
Stupid sexy spiders!
The clapping spider, I believe they call it.
there’s creatine in the grass down under
What do you think they do with the one that did not come out of the arena?
Cabinals
“Uh, Pete, it’s only been three days since the fuel shortage… Did you… Uh… Already have this costume?”
You put that thing on several times a week. You can stop pretending it’s for special occasions or events.
ur right, I sleep in this
Im halfway between Baymax and pillsburry doughboy. Wearing this, id probably get identified as an oïl réserve.
xD
Damn! I just donated all that stuff last year.
GUZZOLINE!!
Gay BDSM or Mad Max?
Oh yeah its all coming together
Name that side-character from He-Man.
Lord very bigus.
“Fisto” is already taken. Most likely name would be something like “Mask Man.”
this short expands on the Great Humungous’ lore a bit
Time to break out my fuel crisis abs.
Hang on… This could take a while.
No one has a body like that though
And be honest do you really want to see fat people dressed like that
Hey Ive seen people dressed like that!
