Getting air-dropped into Libya and, in my final moments of dehydrated delusion, declaring that my $5 bill is actually worth a million dollars because of deflation.
Deserts do produce all sorts of things! They are highly diverse and cool habitats filled with spooky and wonderful life that play essential roles in the global biosphere. Not directly mass-producing human food does not equal producing nothing. :meow-cactus:
I also wouldn't call the deserts "diverse", just "different". Diversity is a function of biomass, which is a function of sunlight+water. Deserts are probably about as biodiverse as a temperate grassland, maybe even less
But yes some of the most interesting organisms live in the desert.
Libya is almost entirely covered by the Libyan desert, which is a part of the Sahara. Fun fact of the day!
