On a scale of 1 to 100, how addicted are you to the internet? (1 is least addicted, 100 is basically drug addiction) How would you cope without the internet?

I'm personally like 70% addicted. If the internet shuts down, I'm gonna have withdrawl symptoms.
You're viewing a single thread.
I depends on how depressed I am.
Feeling good? No internet is fine, I'll draw, worldbuild (although it's a bit "lonely" without chatgpt), play offline games, make Mario Maker levels, romhack, work on games, compose a song, etc.
Unmotivated as hell? I'm about ready to die if I can't scroll annoying and depressing content.
Now no power is another story. Life is nothing without electricity.
Power is actually easy to fix. Get a generator, pour fossil fuels, start it. (may cost you a bit, but its technically an option)
Internet, well the ISPs are practicallt the internet, so you can't just become your own ISP.
Always wanted to make an alternate content distrobution system. Without being an ISP, your eather not allowed to encrypt it (http only for IP over radio) or the signals dont go far enough without mass adoption (wifi mesh network) It exists but Amazon and Apple etc own it and those frequencies are a warzone. Physical distrobution is mesured is days and weeks.
A laser system mounted on rooftops that beam data back and fourth through neighborhoods?
Honorable mention: Briar - Not an internet, but good for protest communication. You could relay messages via each device in the network and potentially reach across a country (hypothetically, if everyone installed it).
