I'm personally like 70% addicted. If the internet shuts down, I'm gonna have withdrawl symptoms.

I think I'll be okay if they sell podcasts at music stores, or if radio makes a big comeback I guess.

About 40%, but it’s been more in the past. I was about 16 before we got the internet so I know what it’s like to live without it and I actually spent a lot of that time being bored, rather than reading books and otherwise expanding my mind as people would like to have you believe. I use the internet to support my other hobbies now. There’s things I would never have even known about without the internet and it’s great for learning about things. I like making my own beer and working on my car, etc. I wouldn’t ever have started making beer had I not read about it and working on cars is a lot harder without YouTube.

90. I stay in contact with friends, even IRL ones, through the internet.

My addiction is basically whenever I have nothing else to do, like working on vehicles or moving furniture, or sleeping, I browse the internet.

So basically about 42%

I can go days without. But I spend maybe 2-4 hours a day. Sadly I work remote, so I get bored. But during holidays and staycations, I hardly pick up my phone, let alone a laptop. 30. 30 is my addiction number.

Hello stranger. I would just like to thank you for using the phrase "let alone" correctly. As far as I can remember, this is my first such sighting on Lemmy. Thank you.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 17 hours ago

My addiction is so severe, merely the offline wikipedia doesn't really provide the same high.

I mean its better than nothing, but you really need the memes and shitposts.

Offline wikipedia isn't even the same, watching the real time edit-wars on ongoing events is so fun.

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