Now that many people are staying home, what would you do if the internet shuts down?

reading a great book about the rescue of the Lipizzaner stallions during ww2. I didn't realize eugenics and horse breeding were so intertwined. Explains why plutocrats love their race horses.

Probably be officially out of a job. Kinda need it to be productive.

I'd do a lot around the house and on more walks, etc. Might actually be good if it goes dark.

It would suck, but I'd certainly get over it. Probably spend more time out in the shop being productive sizing brass or something.

Posted: 3/18/2020 5:01:46 PM EST

[#11]

I'd go outside and play.

Posted: 3/18/2020 5:02:38 PM EST

My work would suck at that point but I think it would be great! People would go crazy though and start being wild without it.

Miss Arfcom and the weather page I use.

I have a ton of books.

Posted: 3/18/2020 5:03:31 PM EST

[#17]

Read books, do projects, play cards, nap, go for walks. Currently I'm working from home so it would give me a lot more free time.

I'd actually have to shave and drive to work...

If the entire internet would crash for a week I would drink and celebrate like VE Day.

I made sure to download LOTS of 'work material'...if power is out guess I'll go fishing/hunting.

Go to the basement and dust off the collection of old Playboy, Hustler and High Society magazines and have a good old fashion Fap Fest.

If that happens 80% of GD will flip the hell out and blame the media because this was all planned to make Trump look bad.

Not have to look through 4 pages of stupid Corona virus threads that have been quadruple duped. And read a book or two.

Well, I’d be looking for a new job.

I wouldn't be able to work, so probably get some stuff done around the house, play with my kids, plenty of movies on my Plex server.

It's of high priority that the internet stays up, and the government knows it.

It's Business Infrastructure Critical, especially since there's many businesses working remotely.

If the internet goes down, it'll be chaos that you've never thought possible. You think the markets are bad now...it'd be a nightmare.

All that being said, it would be bittersweet if id indeed did go down.

I get on the internet quite a bit.

If it went away I would go about my life seamlessly as if it never existed.

Netflix and pornhub are the only reasons people are still just passive aggressive up here.

Lose a lot of money for starters...then would probably load up the guns, dogs, and wife and head for the hills.

Go outside, look around. Maybe get the courage to talk to a girl.

If the internet goes down for any appreciable amount of time, we are all rightly fucked.
I'd just start drinking and set up a lawn chair to watch it all burn...

This. Probably make a good effort to run out of components.

Also, assemble uppers, bang, drink bourbon, cook good food...
