I mean like everyone can access it and everything on it before it froze but nothing new could be uploaded for a month. No new videos, no pics, no tweets or comments or public messages of any kind, no streaming, no video chat or discord, no new news articles, no new posts on reddit, tumblr, fb, gamefaqs, 4chan, blogs, ect.

All of the internet just frozen in time. Sending/receiving email and buying things online are about the only things left that still work, but no new product reviews. And no new products go up for sale.

Gonna bet everyone riots and blames Obama.

People would spread the news via chain emails?

I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this who will count the votes, and how.

It probably wouldn't be that bad. People would have to watch tv or read the paper for the news. And people would still be able to communicate and buy stuff. And from the way you described it, it sounds like youtube would still work, but you just had to watch all the videos that were already up, I guess. I feel like it would be ok if it was only a month. Though, it would be long since nobody would know it was only for a month, I guess...

People would probably find all kinds of stuff they never knew existed if they could still access things that were already up and had nothing else to do...

I wanna say maybe then people like NMB could get out and actually experience life and become a real person, but I doubt anything would keep them from trying as hard as possible to not go outside.

Don't banks update balances over the internet? And train station contactless only works with an internet connection for the gate.

So I'd have to live at work and get amazon to send me microwave meals for a month?

For a man so well versed in sex I'm surprised you'e never heard of a porn mag before.

Why would people blame Obama instead of Trump? That makes no sense. You do know who the current president is, don't you?

NMB would still have his video games and cartoons. He wouldn't need to go outside. He only braves the wild dogs when he needs to go to McDonalds for a Happy Meal.

Yes, I work in accounting, and all of my work is done over the internet. The financial system would be in chaos. The internet affects people's lives more than many people think. Many things nowadays are completely computerized, and an internet shut down would result in chaos. Anyone remember the fear over the Y2K bug?

Honestly, if no critical system stops working, I guess most of us would survive just fine. Now, if the interent as a whole stopped working for a month... there would be no one else alive afterwards to tell what'sd left of the world afterwards.
