I’d say a solid 50.
I’m fine if I have some other kind of stimulation. If I find a good book to get lost in, an engaging project, or anything else to occupy myself I don’t think of the Internet at all and kind of forget it exists.
But as soon as I’m bored and have no other mental stimulation my phone is out and I’m browsing something.

I’d say 99% considering I work using the internet and spend most of my time on a connected device

I would normally be about a 60-70, but since I’m a data hoarder, The actual impact of a loss of internet on me would probably be closer to 20. I’ve got enough movies/tv/music/games/books to last decades.

When I go camping I don’t miss it. But if I’m in town it’d drive me nuts.

I’d say I’m probably around 20-30%. If the internet were to disappear tomorrow, the only thing it’d affect is my work which I’m not really concerned about. The only thing I’d probably miss is watching random stuff on YouTube.

I watch a lot of YouTube. But I have other hobbies, games to play, books to read, and shit that needs done.

I’ll be fine.

It’s so bad, really. I use two phones at once, one for gaming and the other for whatever else, and I never am without a phone in my hand ever. I’m really just trying to block out the bad things that are happening to me but it’s insane too.

If the internet shuts down, I’ll be basically out of a job probably, so I don’t know about addiction, I’m probably have a very bad time

80 before latest USA election, 40 after. Deliberately distancing myself.

I’d been trying to do this since covid, victory!

I’d cope just fine now, I lived before widespread internet or wireless services too.

Most of what I miss about the internet is already long dead.

This post is a good reminder that I should save a copy of Wikipedia

People don’t go to public places to hang out anymore, so we’re dependent on the internet for that these days. Does it mean addiction? Not at all. It’s similar to drug addiction, if you’re in good health and good company, time flies when you’re sober. When you’re sitting by yourself in a small room, you’re dependent on time accelerating media devices. For me, meth accelerates time in a similar fashion, and I can spend hours sitting in a room looking out the window, no urge to look at memes in chat rooms. Meth is easier to stop for me because of harsher side effects.

I would say I’m 75% addicted. Like without it, if it shuts off for prolonged periods, what am I down to? I’m down to just books and whatever I acquired to make available offline like downloaded games and I’ve got quite a media collection going to delve into.

What I’ll miss the most of it is being in contact with those I’ve established a connection with such as online friends. The longer I go without speaking to them, the more things will feel hollow.

Before Internet: chop wood, carry water.

After Internet: chop wood, carry water.

I guess I’m not too addicted, though 99.9% of all my direct communication relies on it, so that’d be the biggest blow I’d feel. I almost never play online, so I’d be fine on that, though I’d have to rely on whatever’s already installed on my computer. Maybe I have to bite the bullet and make a home media server to put all my GOG stuff there… Half of my salary just for an 8tb drive, tho 😭

It’s more of a habit than an addiction.

If I have pretty much literally anything else going on, I don’t tend to think about or miss the internet.

But if I don’t have anything else going on, I’ll probably reach for my phone or end up on a computer pretty quickly without even realizing it
