Internet is how grocery stores track inventory and place new orders.
Internet is how gas stations place new orders.
Internet is how delivery shipments are tracked.
Internet is how banks transfer funds and how purchases are made.
Most Americans can get by for about 2-days without the internet. After that, it gets a bit more serious. A week without internet would be a catastrophe for a large portion of society.... but would be survivable.
More than 2 weeks without internet would be a large scale disaster.
If something like that happens, my advice is DON'T sit at home playing card games. Grab a lounge chair and sit under a shade tree with binoculars watching a grocery store entrance. That should be far more entertaining than television.
For the first 25 years of my life there was no internet and somehow we survived. Hell, I think it would do us all some good to live without it for a couple weeks.
Humans have lived much longer without power/electricity than they have with it. So it’s kind of the same story. Our society isn’t set up to function without internet anymore, the same way it would make it very difficult without electricity.
Survived thanks to work wi-fi and a decent data plan. Have some stuff saved and stored. Some games if you like it. Any movies or music you enjoy. Stockpile on passtimes
I think it'll be select servers that get yanked.. so social media sites.. things like discord and basically any way people communicate with eachother will be the targets, some other things will probably be collateral, but i see garbage like Netflix and comped news sites still being around
If cocaine didn’t exist no one would be able snort it.
The internet is good for some reasons but absolutely abhorrent for many more. Pornography, corruption, mass manipulation, rewritten history, effortless financial enslavement, digital proxy warfare, distraction and hive mind entertainment, and cult like brainwashing and dependency.
The world would be better without it and if I lost contact with you, I think that would be a worthy trade to regain our humanity and connection to reality.
That could be bad.

Not that long ago all that shit was done over the phone. Not hard to go back, unless the phone lines go down as well.
phone=internet
If one goes down so does the other. Even old school land based copper lines need internet once it gets to the switch.
Yeah a lot of phone services have moved to VOIP.

Cut the power? That's a different story.

Humanity survived without internet prior to the 1980's.
We'll fuckin' do it again.
As long as I have my Bible, books, drawing supplies, and Jaco records, I'm good.
But what will the normies do without facebook, TikTok and Pornhub?.... lol
Burn Loot Murder on steroids.
Jaco...right-on ?
The internet will never go down…it’s just the conservative voice that will be squelched.
We gotta come up with a patriots mesh network somehow
Got some installed vídeo games, books and supplies. Bring It down
I've spent more than 10 days without any internet connection before bc of a shoddy provider. I'll be ok

No, it definitely won't.
Glad this site runs on Tesla free energy! I’ll be up on my roof if you need me?!!

I make money online
"Walk this way."
I knew it! America Online is the great satan! Get ready for those compact discs coming to your mailbox soon. Dial up will be cool again!
If the internet went out forever, I would be overjoyed! That’d be an answered prayer
I don’t understand comments like this. You know you would miss us. That’s why you’re here on the internet.
