I would miss porn the most, probably.
Rumour has it that I was not born,
I just walked in one frosty morn,
into the vision of some vacant mind.

maybe women will show men respect once again
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 15326304


That will happen when society collapses and women are genuinely afraid for their lives.

Until then, they will treat us as if we have made them live outside, like dogs, for the last 2000 years.

Electricity.
Peak Oil, Peak Civilization, Peak EVERYTHING
People who don't believe in peak oil fall into 3 categories:
Uninformed.
In denial.
Too stupid to understand it.
Which one are you?

Hot running water

You can adjust to no internet -- you read a lot. (Hope you're stocked up on books).

You can adjust to no electricity -- you read by oil lamp/ kerosene lantern/ candlelight (hope you're stocked up on batteries, lamp oil, and kerosene).

Keeping yourself up to your accustomed level of hygiene without hot running water on demand -- that will be the worst.

You will have to haul your own water to cook, bathe, wash dishes & clothes. Modern people don't understand why our ancestors only bathed once a week. I do. I had access to a nearby place with hot running water, and electricity, but for over 5 years I lived without electricity, internet, or even a real toilet.

The blessing of limitless, steaming water pouring into a bath tub whenever you want -- hell, I think I might go take a bath right now. You have no idea how much to appreciate it until you've gone without.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 36583121


Being as I am a wizard hot running water will not be too difficult to establish =)
OK fine I'm not a wizard... yet. But still I can redneck together an elevated water tank and build a fire under it. =)

I haven't watched that since the mid 90's.
And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.

I am an evil giraffe, and I shall eat more leaves from this tree than perhaps I should, so that other giraffes may die.

Correct.

I'm eating hot fries as we speak.
