That’s actually something I think about quite often recently. People 150 years ago didn’t have electricity at all, what did they do?

First the things that would be really helpful if already built into your home: It helps if you have a gas or wooden stove to cook meals. Same with heating, a masonry stove for example could really make a difference.

Stuff that’s good to have is a small camping gas stove, some LED lanterns, tons of batteries and candles. Powerbanks to charge your mobile phones, maybe a few solar cells on the roof with some batteries connected to it. Maybe even a small emergency power generator. Don’t forget the fuel for it.

What you can do: Go for a hike. Read books, play boardgames and cards. Do puzzles. Write! Get a notebook and a pen ( I recommend actually fountain pens) and do some journaling. Write about your day, your dreams or your concerns. Make a list what parts of the world you want to visit before you die or anything else you can think about. Learn to draw or to paint. Maybe it’s time to put up the guitar that’s gathering dust in the corner.

Something like that. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

His left hand (to the viewers right) looks a bit weird…

I think I am getting paranoid.

By the way, there are also book communities here on Lemmy. Check out

And Nazi. Don’t play cute on me.

Yeah, but maybe people want to downvote a community dedicated to a nazi?

It was created by the Lemmy developers and is one of the original Lemmy instances. And while Lemmy itself is fantastic, unfortunately the developers are not. They are tankies, extreme authoritarian communists.

Other than their other instances lemmygrad and Hexbear, lemmy.ml tries to look more moderate and has many active and great communities. But if you post things they dislike, you might run into similar troubles like OP.

Lol no. That‘s not how glasses work.

Actual fact: The democrats don’t control the weather and create hurricanes to destroy Florida.
