If you had no electricity what would you do? - Deany - Oct 11, 2026
If I had no electricity, I would actually build my model kit backlog. What would you do in such a situation?

I would still play with my dog.
We would enjoy spending time together even without electricity.

I would just go outside for a nice walk to be honest.

Can you clarify on the question a bit? Are we talking about a situation like if I lost power for a day? If so then I'd probably just go out for the day and to places that did still have power unless I had things I needed to get done around the house and that I could still efficiently do without electricity.

Arts and Crafts, it's what I do in my off PC time, helps clear the head and gives focus to something that sees results faster.

That's awesome and I can see the appeal to something like that. Mind being more specific about what sort of stuff you work on? I'm curious is all, but no pressure of course.

Oh wow, that wouldn't have been one of my initial guesses honestly, but I also don't know just how popular that is haha. In any case, it's great to have hobbies and especially those that sort of disconnect you from all of the online shit, help you any bit mentally, and things of that nature. Maybe one day you can share some of you've created on here.

It's like paint by numbers or the plastic bead stuff, but just big ol' X's in fabric.
Maybe, they're mostly just from games I play, like Binding of Isaac translates well, I've thought of doing some awards from here but never got around to it, though might throw some on the iPad to do. (I use a VERY old iPad 2 (2012) to hold the patterns)

I really like the idea of doing something for an award on here. Maybe one that is a favorite of yours or one that you'd like to get one day? Honestly if you made something HF related like that, I wouldn't be surprised if Omni gave you an award for it lol.

The only award I don't think I earned was the beautiful Ub3r Saphire, a generous soul gave it to me.
The other Cool Cat and Beer I got when I went over to the states back in like '18 I think it was and went to Vegas with the sole intention of seeing Omners.
We'll see.
I will need to chop up one and see what to do, I find awards... Let's say special, like I could whore for the bronze tutorial one or longue head, but like, I want to feel that sense of earning them. Not bashing by any means. Just kinda like that for me.

Yeah I understand what you mean. Nothing wrong with taking them at your own pace and making sure you feel 100% good about every bit of progress towards them. Depending on how much you're doing so can make it tough for a timed award like Lounge Head for instance, but like you said if you wanted it, you could get it. You want it to feel right though and so if you can't get it in that allotted time while doing so, it is what it is.

In this scenario is electricity gone for good? or is it just out temporarily?
RE: If you had no electricity what would you do? - Omniscient - Oct 11, 2026
Go and play some golf.
It's happened too. :)
