Y'know, the days when your ISP kindly reminds you that they own your ass. Unless you live in a paradise where the internet is fair and perfect, or S.Korea.
I'm talking complete internet shutdown or intolerable crawl / instability.
I like to just... whine, then grumpily focus on tasks that doesn't require internet distractions.
I have single-player games installed for just such occasions, as well as some side projects in the event I don't feel like playing any of the single-player games I have installed.
I live in paradise where the internet is stable and fair.
However I used to live in a campus where they enforced a kind of "curfew" on their internet where they shut it off after midnight. Fair enough during weekdays, just gave a reason to go to sleep. Infuriating on weekends as the campus was situated in the middle of nowhere and there really wasn't anything to do.
Reading tons of Warhammer 40k books. Throne protects even during internet outages.
I don't have limits on my internet, but like once a month or so it goes down for hours because they are allegedly working on the lines. When that happens or bad weather results in the connection not being so great I play Roguelikes, Minecraft or Doom/II via a sourceport. Namely because I tend to forget that Steam has an offline mode.
Everyday is a slow internet day.
I read, got a big backlog of books I go through whenever I'm not on the computer
In my area the internet is VERY poor :v: I go between browsing online and playing retro video games.
I have such a backlog of video games, movies, podcasts, TV, and anime, that i pretty much never get bored.
My internet is crapsack everyday,added that my brother is selfish about it.
So,i play offline games or sleep
I violently lash out at anyone and anything within a mile radius.
i cry
i cry even more when i realize my friends have like 50 megabytes a second for download speed while i have 2
Working on creative projects
Work on my backlog of games/shows/anime.
pick up a new skill
last time my internet went down for like a day i just went to a coffee shop and did work
was nice
Mobile data.
I personally have never experienced differences in my internet connection and I have an ISP that's renown for not being the best. (Telus) Fortunately for me, the connection point for my town is right on the corner of my street. So I couldn't really get a better connection, regardless of who is providing it.
Don't have to live in South Korea to have perfect internet, south-western Canada is good enough it seems. :v:
Video games, weed and suicidal thoughts.
Loads of porn
When the internet is down I will either play offline video games, read, sleep, or actually go outside.
I used to be with a [B]terrible[/B] isp, finally leaving them was liberating.

Here in internet paradise land, procrastination never ends
I've never had a slow internet day. If the internet is acting fucky, which has happened a whole 2 or 3 times since we got FiOS like a decade ago, it can normally be resolved with a router reset.
I've never known good internet. I've had ATT as my ISP since the mid 90s(Before it was ATT, my email address ends in @bellsouth.net because I've had it since day one pretty much), through having no other option.
I roll into a ball and stare blankly, waiting for death's sweet embrace.
It's been a long time since I last had a slow internet day.
But when it does happen, I try to make some music or I go outside and call some friends or something.
Where do the missing internets go? Are they indirectly funding the terrorists? Caged in tiny offshore servers where they are exploited indefinitely?
This needs to stop. Every time a connection drops, a cat gif fails to load.
[sp]I just wanted to stream some music...[/sp]
Roguelikes are pretty good time wasters. My go-to games are [URL="https://te4.org/"]Tales of Maj'Eyal[/URL] and [URL="https://crawl.develz.org/"]Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup[/URL].
go for a walk, draw, eat a thing, play a singleplayer game
Close my eyes and dream of the fast days.
