How feasible is a two-week break from the entire Internet for you? It's okay to use a computer or game console or whatever, but you cannot be connected online for the entire period.
I'm totally not asking for any specific reason, h-haha...

I have to use the internet for work so it's impossible for me.
i had a friend for a really long time who's father owned a 300 acre plot of land in rural vermont. complete cell phone deadzone. no internet, no cell phone, no data. just landline, an satellite tv. we used to go up there just to get the frick away from civilization for a while. we'd stock up on cheap meat and shit from a walmart across the new hampshire border, drink monsters all fricking day and just play video games and stare at the sky or go hiking. some of the best conversations i have ever had happened up there around a campfire. it became an anticipated thing to frick off from the city for 2 weeks or more and just do frick all in the middle of the woods with no internet or anything. probably the best period of my life. should i ever make a million shmillion bucks doing something moronic, i will set up a place like that for me and any of my future kids or family members who just want get the frick away from it all.
also reminds me, they had some tmobile and verizon reps come up to their property to ask them to put up a cell tower in the area. they would've paid them for it and everything. they fricking ran them off the property every time and told them to frick off. frick i miss that place.
So that's a no for you, as well?
I could do 2 years
I use internet to check weather and it would be miserable to go outside and get rained on.
just bring an umbrella anyways?
i wish I had rich friends
I'd rather not go outside just to get killed in a thunderstorm
My guy they still have newspapers with the weather forecasts
I'd need to subscribe online for one
guy was far from rich, his father just invested in land no one had an interest in a long ass time ago, and now it's just a whole forest that they own to do with whatever the frick they please. it's still a shithole, and it's far away from civilization, and you NEED a car to get anywhere because every resource is like 25 miles away at minimum, AND his house is only half finished on one side with the tyvek shit hanging out of the other side, and you can see through the floor boards to the second floor from the kitchen, BUT, the sheer silence when you sleep and the view of the milky way from there with zero light pollution, frick man i don't know if i'd ever give that up if i had that land.
if only everyone's parents had foresight like that
the funniest thing was his father was an alcoholic and i'm fairly certain it wasn't anyones bright idea, they did it i think just to fricking have a place to drink in the middle of no where. there's apparently a car they crashed into a ditch sometime in the 70's that's still just there. in a ditch. it's the funniest fricking thing. you could die out there and no one would ever find you or care to look.
well, having your own place is most valuable thing, no contest
YV has weather and so does teletext

Very feasible. I work in the country for weeks at a time with nothing but my cell phone and I don't exactly have time to browse the net since I'm in a crew with shared accomodations. We cook dinner together, then usually just drink, play cards and pass out.
I spent a month in the psyche ward and I didn't use a phone. They drugged my ass up from hell in there, but I have 300 IQ so I started plotting..... Today the bronze ethos is made up of over 666 thousand pepes who want to merge.
Pretty easy during vacations. Work requires me to use the net.
I would honestly pay thousands for a no internet resort with 90's era technology. Like a small hotel or country manor or something with badminton and a pool, a nice VHS/DVD/Bluray library, maybe landlie phones, but absolutely no smart phones or TV. Unfortunately people will always find a way to smuggle a phone in, I'm almost considering nudist resorts at this point because they're the only ones I can see seriously enforcing the rules.
pretty easy if i didnt have to work from my computer.frick
I did that in 2022 I think, 16 days without internet in total, and all I did was read and watch anime. It's pretty easy if you're a NEET, but nothing will change if you don't have better things to do.
I kinda wanna try to go 90+ days without this garbage. This time without all the entertainment crap that one would normally consume mindlessly, bringing instead only useful stuff.
But what if I download 2 weeks of slop?
Give me a pile of books and a fishing rod and I can do 2 months easily.
two weeks isn't even a long time
