Would you kill the internet if you could?

I wouldn't want to kill it permanently. But I'd like to shut it down for a week or so to give those businesses and people who've become overly-dependent on it the realization that they've made a big mistake.

Maybe a couple hours, just to shake em up

only if i could get my visual novels from a store

Only for you.

With a gun like a real man

Yes, it was a mistake.

For fun yeah

i love internet and i always wanted to live in tinfoil cyberdystopia anyway, but i would love to see what happens when internet dies at a moment's notice

>all of the online-only banking becomes inaccessible
>people don't know how to waste their money without online shops and tickets online and stuff
>some companies die because no one buys their shit
>facebook addicts get severe attention deficits
>probably stock market crashes
>teenagers die because they can't wikihow take a shit

thinking about it really makes you realize how much humanity had achieved in last 20 years

definitely

Agreed.

Yes, it's the only way to truly defeat the botnet.

without question.

Selectively or temporarily? Fuck yes.
Permanently and completely, probably not.

Yes
nobody deserves shit memes and future emotions like *dabbing*

Only the web. The internet is fine.

YES

No. It's essential for modern science and medical research.

With the amounts of data they need to share, it's faster to send it via snail mail.

no. Even if I wanted to, I'd let the people have their fun and go do my own thing.

yes, it has created a generation of useless people. I get a lot of enjoyment out of it. But overall, it is a detriment to society. I would primarily like to see quantum trading/the stock market die.

>being this retarded

what is ftp?

Yes, it's become too mainstream; riddled with corruption, greed, filth, commercialism, and has gone to shit since the 90's.

I'd kill the web, not the internet.

>all the brain dead internet addicted genZtards in this thread that couldn't give up the internet

Only on tuesdays and thursdays ,people need to spend more time in the real world because like Halliday said, "reality is the only thing that’s real."

mailing hard drives with shit loads of data is faster than sending it all over the net

Would you kill yourself if you could?

this

Kill? No. Reboot? Yes.

Nah. But i lived in a generation that did without it I just don't want to.

thanks fuck none of you neets have that power

you'll make me unemployed!!

No thanks, How will I watch anime in my shithole country without the internet

Of fucking course.
Seeing all these people glued to their phones seriously depresses me.

In a heart beat.

The internet has removed society's empathy and morality.

Spot the 3rd worlder.

My university research wing intranet is 100/100 gigabit and outgoing is 15/15 gigabit.

You are delussional if you think mailing hard drives is faster or more secure.

No, but I would like to see the internet return to how it was in the early 2000s when it wasn't so commercialized.

First I would kill myself
Then I would kill Jow Forums
Then the internet

not kill it, but bring about some change in society's consciousness in order to remove people from the dehumanizing and antisocial aspects of it
people are way too obsessed with their cell phones, our modern culture stems from the web, people hardly form cliques or communities in person anymore
sacred aspects of human interaction have been desecrated by the internet and modern people, especially young people, have lost the willpower to deeply concentrate on something and employ the self control necessary to have a healthy enjoyment of things in moderation, not corrupt their mind with binges which let it go foul
its too powerful to resist because the internet is one of sauron's creations. plain and simple

>kill the last bastion of free speech
no

fuck you are right

i'm never going back to the old days. watching nge on vhs like a goddamn savage

I'd kill social media.

Let's be honest. If selfies, Facebook, Instagram, vlogs, and tinder went extinct Stacy and all the other normies would fuck off to be vapid douchebags elsewhere and the advertisers would follow them. Then we can go back to good old 90s internet where everyone makes fun of you for having "internet friends" and "no social life."

>The Aquinas protocol... can you hear the howling? The net's going black..!

Maybe a big reset, starting from scratch again

Fuck it. I am reinstalling it as we speak.

the internet is the ONLY reason i haven't killed myself so no.

I would like to see what no internet for 1 week would cause.

Pic just reminded me of something
When I was a kid my parents had a switch in their room that they flicked which turned off the DSL connection to the modem (to stop my brother and I from using it at night). I still never figured out how that fucking thing worked. I know nothing about electricity or wiring whatsoever, how the fuck did it work?!

lots and lots of RAPE and you know it.

Turn it off, turn it back on again. Hope all the phone posters and normies are gone.

I'm cuttin' it down!

you just need to have on/off switch somewhere in the middle of the cable that delivers signal. i never saw one in my life, but making one should be piss easy.

Um the internet is not a light switch it's a giant linksys WRT54g get it right.

Underrated

Internet? No.

The web? Yes.

Yes

>Would you kill the internet if you could?
Only for money

The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

Having just spent nearly 9 months without residential internet, and an absolutely trash t-mobile overpriced piece of shit capped plan, fuck no. It was hell on earth. Only thing that saved me was I had about 8 terabytes of data hoarded, so I got a lot of work done during that time.

No way you are that retarded, that you have no basic concept of electrical circuits. even kids in Zimbabwe know how to operate a switch.

>WRT54g
gl

Kill it forever? No. Cut it off periodically to fuck with people, maybe.

I'd flip the switch for a few hours a day, just to get people to socialize a bit.

Probably yeah, but then I'd be out of a job.

Not shut it down, but limit the bandwidth to what it was like 15 years ago. You can't waste your life on the internet if every webpage takes several minutes to load.

You do it for free, stupid

Hell yes. At least for a year so humanity could reset.

I'd kill social media and other shit that attracted all the normies and roasties

Without hesitation.

> it was hell
> because I actually got shit done

No, but alot of shit on it/because of it

this.

just social media

desu id prefer a world completely without programmable computers

Yes. I want out, but only if everyone else is forced to be out too.

dis.

Ironically, yes. In reality, no because I need it for my job.

Luckily, there is a compromise: kill everyone who uses the Internet instead of killing the Internet itself.

This. I think you'd have to ban smartphones or something to accomplish this, those are the primary device normies use
