So, I just recently, like 30 minutes ago, have experienced an internet outage. And I was quite shocked.
Internet was down for like an hour. And honestly, I didn't know what the hell to do. It was midnight so there's no place for me to go, I couldn't jerk off properly and I couldn't go to bed.
I played a bit of Ultrakill and then I went to bed and was forced to watch TV. Yeah, fucking television.
I got bored, and I wanted to go to sleep. But there's the problem. I can't fall asleep without a fap session. It's kinda my ritual. But I got no porn. I don't download that, I watch that shit on porn sites.
That's a big problem. I can't jerk off to imagination. Luckily, I had some pictures of momokun that I downloaded for a thread earlier today. So I had to do it on that. A fucking picture. It wasn't easy, but I did it. Don't judge me.
This event taught me that I need to download some emergency porn. Just in case.
So I realized that I'm very dependendent on the internet. I can't do shit without it. If it was daytime I'd go for a walk or something, but it's tough when this stuff happens late.
So, what do you guys do when internet is down at your place?

 

[nush]

You don't have an emergency HD of downloaded porn? Rookie mistake.

 

[Sub_Level]

Playstation 2
Doom Wads

I couldn't get all the entertainment out of those two things in an entire lifetime, much less during an internet outage.

 

[Elektro Demon]

Oh I'm working on that right now. That ain't never happening again.

 

[AlteredForms]

This has actually happened to me a couple times for maintenance reasons and it's unbearable to wait those minutes till you're back online. At the same time it's interesting to see how much of our lives are built around the internet.

 

[Blade2.0]

Kill myself. Done it at least 5 times now

 

[Nymphae]

Turn to my collection of DVDs and blurays, which I'm probably watching anyway.

 

[MrA]

Plenty of other video games and other entertainment, the only thing is I really heavily on the Internet for reading and reference material, probably would go and ready at the library more if Internet was out for an extended period

 

[Brian Fellows]

Watch TV, read comics, play offline video games, walk my dogs, jerk off to porn, and/or sleep.

 

[Cunth]

download a book

 

[Barnabot]

most of my games are offline, elektro. you should have added power outage in the mix and watch people melting down.

 

[RainblowDash]

Take a nap...

 

[Jesus Carbomb]

Use my phone as a hotspot? Unlimited data FTW.

I can’t remember the last time I didn’t have a connection to the internet.

Take a break from the net zoomer

 

[Birdo]

I go outside and troll console warriors in real life.

 

[Ellery]

Stare at the router until it works again. If I would do something else there is a chance I miss 1 minute of internet time if I don't get on it as soon as it is back up.

 

[Jesus Carbomb]

Take a break from the net zoomer

Imagine not having access to GAF and you're stuck being brap IRL.

I have a phone ya simp. Ya boilin?

 

[deafmedal]

There’s a restaurant that I like to eat at down the way. Cell service is horrible so the last time I went I joined their public wifi. Now pictures of my micro peen are floating around and all my cc accounts have been compromised.

But hey, I was able to browse GAF!

 

[Jesus Carbomb]

I have a phone ya simp. Ya boilin?

brap phone. Who dis?

What kind of connection do you get on that thing?

Raspberry pi with retropie. Heaven.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

I pretend to read a book and while really I’m just thinking about all the GIF reply opportunities I’m missing on GAF

 

[TheGreatYosh]

Continue writing my, uh... I mean stare at the wall until it comes back on.

 

[MetalAlien]

Play an old game that doesn't need internet. Watch a movie stored on my HD. Watch TV. When we were younger... we didn't even have internet but TV was good and we went outside a lot.

 

[triplestation]

wait

 

[Chairman Tickles]

Play vidya games.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Bang

 

[TaySan]

Get frustrated and stressed out because there's jack all to do without it.

 

[MaestroMike]

dvds/books/off-line video games. started posting here last year again before that i barely used the internet for years except to look up information about food, exercise and nutrition

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Read, watch something from my extarnal HDD oh and play GLORIOUS OFFLINE GAMES.

 

[Great Hair]

 

[Woo-Fu]

Play console games.

 

[bitbydeath]

Time to eat.

 

[Tesseract]

 

[Naibel]

Read, play vidya, go outside, walk teh dog...

I unplugged myself from the web quite a few times last year. Felt like I quit smoking at first, but then it felt soooo niiiice !

No more dramas, no more worries/anger over petty bullshit, no more attention span issues...

I recommend doing some digital detox from time to time. It's great cleansing.

 

[ScarletSpider]

.

 

[slugbahr]

OP, this is why you prep an emergency stash before the actual emergency.
Also, this is why streaming is a mistake. You've gotta own your shit, ya doofus

 

[Stiflers Mom]

So, I just recently, like 30 minutes ago, have experienced an internet outage. And I was quite shocked.

Ah, that hour when you didn't make a new thread here.

Good times...

 

[WhiskeyDiver]

Doom Wads

Ditto. I have a fuck ton of wads that are waiting to be played. DOOM is the game that keeps on giving.

 

[Scopa]

I light a candle, pour a wine and settle in for an epic wank session and then realise my imagination doesn’t work anymore.

 

[Red Crayon Aristocrat]

Wank.

 

[Dark Star]

When the power goes out, usually due to severe weather, it's a good time to crack open that one book I've been putting off reading. If it's dark outside, then it's just another opportunity to read with candle light. Extra spooky.

During daytime neighborhood electrical maintenance? Go skateboarding. Take a long walk in the woods. Drive to my favorite restaurant, workout at the gym, etc. Basically get out of the house. Plenty to do at home without power, though, like play drums or acoustic guitar.

If I have power, I can survive without internet, easy. It happens, the router needs to be reset or whatever. Nothing beats dusting off my HP and LOTR DVD collection and giving them a whirl on my PS2. Guaranteed a good time. It's fun disconnecting from the internet for a day. I'm probably too addicted to go any longer than a week, though. I need my YouTube, Forums, Social Media, etc.

 

[JimmyRustler]

If house Internet is making troubles I browse on the phone or use it as hotspot. Chances that both are down at the same time are next to Zero.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Go on a long walk with my dog, cook, read a book.

 

[Lanrutcon]

Sleep. Read. Study.

Free fall into the abyss of bleak introspection and self-doubt fueled by years of lying to yourself and avoiding the real issues via constant escapism.

Pet your cat.

 

[TIMSTER_777]

Ohhh I don't know...

Reboot my router, call the ISP lol.

"There is an outage in your area, ETA 3 hours"

FUCK.

 

[Bl@de]

Read books

 

[German Hops]

Dip into my retro stroke magazine pile.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

I dunno there are like a million other things to do. I read lots of books so I would do that. Or play music. Or draw. Or go on a walk. There are literally millions of things to do that aren’t on the internet.

I do think OP may be addicted or something. Try unplugging yourself for a few days, it will do you a world of good. No harm in using the internet but you shouldn’t be dependent on it.

 

[DonJorginho]

Go to my kebab place, get a Doner Wrap with Burger Sauce and a large chips, then go back home and stick on my saved usb stick of Porn and have a wank.

All at the same time as I eat.
