To be fair, telling people to scan QR codes with their phones is a huge phishing vector. I've seen a few places with new stickers over the first one, which is very easy to do. Is it an updated menu? Or a scam page for a session stealer?

Dick Dale era surf guitar (someone else mentioned this as well, adding the best artist name). Dick Dale also did a cover of Claude Debussy's "The Aquarium" which is the sound track for Space Mountain at Disneyland/World. So either or both, and there might be other covers of "The Aquarium" out there if the original isn't too slow.

Going more ocean-themed....

Aquabats or Tsunami Bomb for some early 2000s punk/ska that isn't ocean-themed but the bands are kinda.

Tide is High - Blondie

Scuba Diver - King Kong (it's a weird song, but hypnotic)

Where is My Mind - Pixies (about fish, but close enough)

Beyond the Sea by Bobby Darin

Maybe more sailing themed, but that's close, right?

Brandy by Looking Glass

My Heart Will Go On - there's a Dragonforce metal cover of this if you've been traumatized by the pennywhistle.

Come Sail Away - Styx

Came here to say the same thing.

How about I feign surprise? Does that work, EU?

This is a bit of a catch-22, isn't it? And I'm saying this as someone that grew up poor and lived in communities where people lived on $1 a day. This isn't the solution it thinks it is.

Poverty rates in urban areas mean that a lot of people who are food insecure live in places distantly removed from where food is grown. Even in Brazil. The crops spoken of here are popular specifically because they travel well, store well, are cheap to mill, and common commodities so a bag of rice from Thailand can go to Brazil or the US or Nigeria or France or India and everyone knows what to expect. But other than high value crops like flowers, cocoa or coffee, it's exceedingly rare that large numbers of farmers grow crops that they don't consume even a bit themselves or sell locally. Post-harvest waste products for most staple grains are their own market, and plenty of broken rice makes it to the market for sale as well. I'm not saying this is a perfect or good system, just that it hits a lot of very basic human desires that do, in fact, feed most people on earth already.

A right to food system is nice, but it's expensive, especially as populations continue to urbanize. Many countries subsidize agriculture, focused on smallholder farming, because it's a cheap way to get votes and funnel things like fertilizer contracts to your friends.

If this was such a good idea, the logical conclusion is to just make exports of edible products illegal and only allow imports. Flood your own markets with food that would be so cheap no one would bother farming it because the inputs alone would run you at a huge loss.

Of course not! That's crazy.

If all the regional neighbors also got dragged in then that would mean that when the US went into Iraq that Kuwait, Turkey, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia.....

Oh, never mind.
