You don’t realize how hard it is to do physically the work of water pumps in the grid, which allow you to have running water. Or to collect firewood (or some other burnable fuel) to use much of it every damn day for cooking, heating water, heating your habitat.
And the water will have unbalanced composition, so things you are getting from almost any findable water you’ll have to get specifically. Imagine a water supply short on lithium, but with horrible concentrations of iron, or something like that.
and you think youre special?
most people who cant read shit on paper cant read it on the internet.
“reading books, and manuals in paper format” doesnt take that much brain power
I’ve noticed no one has books anymore though. I used to be able to go to peoples houses, look at their bookcase, and learn lots about them. No one has bookcases full of books on display anymore except really old people. Even our library has been mostly emptied and has maybe a fifth of the number of books it used to have. I have no idea where all those book went.
The only thing the internet allows you to do is find information.
You don’t need “pre internet information gathering” experience to figure out where information is held. I know the location of many libraries off the top of my head.
I can go there, figure out the system they use, read a few books to find what I need, then head home.
you would cease to function if electricity suddenly went away.
Not really, sorry. Only problem would be the freezers.
Many people would, but I think I could rig something to have a sufficient amount of power in the house.
I can still read books and manuals, and i do have those books and manuals in paper form.

I am well aware of that. But that was not the original topic.

Point is that most people who read on Internet have not the experience to do somthing without Internet since they never lived without internet.

I think that you overestimate the capacity of the yourger people to solve problems without any access to any form of online informations.

sad argument
you would cease to function if oxygen suddenly went away.
if youre trying to argue, you just proved my point.
Seems you already lost some oxygen supply
