I have a lot of these old school storage devices that consist of thin sheets of dead tree material with writing chemically imprinted on them. They work without power or internet, so that's nice. Yes, I'm old.

There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.

So much unread fiction sits on my shelves. I got it on sale and have since paid to move it from one coast to the other and back. I welcome the lockdown where I'd get to read all day. Bonus if the rules say I couldn't leave the building but the roof is still accessible.
The void is always calling for me and I am shockingly comfortable staring into its nothing for extended periods of time.
Badminton and Boardgames.
Indoor badminton? Assume it has to be indoors
Backyard badminton. Had just enough grass area for half a court. Just hit to hit,ย rather than games
If I had power and internet, I'd play the Steam Deck and shitpost on Lemmy probably.
If I don't, sing songs, sleep, read under a flashlight, listen to a battery powered radio, eat a snack, chat with folks at home and neighbours, etc. Get a sense of how long this will go on for, to see if I need to make or execute a survival plan.
Now i wanna do a no internet/intranet (wifi, cellular, ethernet, satelite, etc)
I actually do one blackout day a year. Its fun, candles, simple meal, maybe make a fort, put down the phone to "save battery".
I used to do it on big storm days basically in case the power actually went out I was ready but I no longer live somewhere that loses power so much. So now its just for fun and you can still eat your stuff in your fridge and turn on the lights at the end.
Work, probably. Working from home is fun.
