When the internet goes down, what are your plans to keep yourselves entertained?

Probably finish reading the bible or finish playing this game.

I have a load of books on the back burner that I would no longer have the internet as an excuse not to finish, so that would stave off boredom for awhile.
 
Feel relieved at not having another addiction to constantly and anxiously feel compelled to feed. Try to be more creative again instead of scrolling through the SoMes

I’ll play piano

Yeah, not really piano, but synthesisers, and drum machines. Got a fuck tonne of them, some of them not even opened the boxes yet. Was planning on shit going down.

Shit, I hope it goes down. Just not too much.

I won't be fiddling while rome burns. But I might be tinkering while I try out my new toys.

Hopefully things don't get as bad as me having to revert to homosexuality, or anysexuality for that matter, while I try to feed my non-existant family. There's always that.

Books are pretty good. I guess you could have a cow 'zine thing that gets mailed around, assuming that still works.

Did people just thumb through random fucking books at the public library before the net to figure things out?

If you were into cars you'd have the manufacturer service manuals and a Haynes or Chilton guide for your car. If you were into electronics you'd have all the relevant electronics reference books on your shelf, if you were into cooking you'd have a bunch of cookbooks, etc.

If you couldn't find the answer to something in your own personal book collection you could go to the library and see if any of the books there had the answer.

I plan to read every book in the house. This is actually not many books so I'm going to be getting really intimate with some old science textbooks. Also I will draw anime waifus until I get good at it.
 
well you find 2 bums and tell them the winner of them fighting will get a bottle of moonshine...

Using it for entertainment is fine, but it's the "super information highway" part that is necessary.

Agreed on this part.

making art with traditional media?

If you have the foresight to download Krita or similar, you can still make digital art offline. You just can't upload it.

I've always kept a hard-drive labelled "NO INTERNET SURVIVAL". For the longest time it was just porn, but now it's a bunch of movies and TV shows I haven't seen. As much as possible, I still buy physical media for all games, and for any of my favourite shows/movies, I'll own a copy of it.

Books are the bulk of my possessions, and I have a substantial number to still get through.

On top of that, I'd probably focus on illustration, writing and physical exercise.

I keep a backup of games I enjoy as physical copies so thats a start.

For the most part I have tons of artbooks that I collected over the years for art study from anatomy, perspective, and thought process behind them when it comes to design. Got a tablet, but oddly enough still feel much more at home with my Rotring heavy duty mechanical pencil. Without the internet I'd probably not fall into the pitfalls trying to study the common Twitter artist though I would miss very few designs.

I'd lastly laugh at all my "close friends" who can't go without their unfunny meme videos or generic gacha games.
