My day without electricity

advance a lot from the books I am reading (mostly scholastic philosophy stuff)

cook lunch with fire using dead wood from garden

advance more work than usual before I get out of battery from my PC

read all Prince Valiant comic

go out to talk to the neighbors about what's happening

go for a walk along the river to see the sunset while listening birds last tweets

return home at dark streets, light candles to illuminate the hallways

I go outside and lie on the sidewalk for an hour to gaze at a virginal starry sky between the sublime and the picturesque, from 22:00 to 23:00

go inside and exercise in the dark

go to sleep since its dark and there is nothing to dl at night, feeling like I've had a long, intense day, like those you have in childhood when this virtual prison has little power over you

Ngl, I would not mind if internet dissapears, not electricity but internet. Yesterday felt like a day of freedom for soul.

How long was the electricity out?

3 coitus with goats, in muslim time measurements

3 minutes? Shit, that's a long ass time.

12 houras aprox, ut came back 00 am

~9 hours for me

From around 12:30 am to 11:50 pm. Bar where I was at got electricity sooner at around 8pm but maybe to be expected since it was between a medical center with an ER and a police station.

similar stuff happened here
the one neighborhood right next to the substation had the shortest cut

This hits home for me. Everyday for the last year or so, I've been considering ditching technology altogether and going back to a landline and pre internet household. I do not think this sort of post modern lifestyle we lead nowadays is healthy. It's gonna kill a lot of us very early between the cellphone radiation, the RF signals from 5G. All this technological advancement at such a rapid clip with zero oversight or public relations and informing campaigns. It's not gonna end well. I'm glad you had a good day man. It sounds like how national humanity should be.

ted kaczynski was right

There is something so beautiful about silence, isn't there? Once the chatter disappears, you have true peace of mind. You can do this every day, OP. Your life will change for the better.

the chatter increased exponentially when people figured out their TVs weren't coming back on
everyone was on the street chilling with beers

Sounds based. GF and I went on a vacation to Switzerland to a hotel with bad reception, internet and no TV up in the mountains. Just hiked everyday and had a nice local dinner with wine and beer, reading books, doing puzzles and having sex.

People think I'm a sex offender or someone who eats their children just because I don't mow the lawn or buy expensive funko pop figures. If there was a blackout in my place I could never go out and socialize by drinking beer. They'd exclude me the moment they see me.

Reading or cooking is not a thing for me either. Hardcore nerds don't do that stuff. They only care for stuff they can't use when the power is gone e.g. trains, linux, pentesting, synthesizers and traffic lights.

Will this experience lead to changes in your normal daily schedule/behaviour?

If it was so great then you wouldn't be back.

asi sera los años venidos por culpa de tu gobierno socialista que decide matar Ucranianos inocentes a diario. Rusia los va a destruir pronto.

Calla panchito de mierda

If this happened here no joke there would be total chaos within 3 hours

My day without electricity:

Chop wood

Smoke dope

You sound like the kind of guy I'd hang out with. Fuck what the herd thinks. Keeping people at bay is a good thing. You can open up when you want to later.

You dipshits never heard of a generator? Or did they get regulated out of exsistence?

I tried to Hook up with a girl and got a kiss on the cheek.

It's something

My day without electricity

Fucking landscaping tools are all gasoline powered.
Fuck.
Get home after a day in the sun and heat and I don't even have my PC to entertain myself.
12 hours after the power came back, my shitty low budget cell phone provider (Digi) still hasn't come up.

Whoever decided that having international electrical grids interconnected should be hung by the testicles.

t. Portuguese guy who works on gardening and pool maintenance.

that having international electrical grids interconnected

...was a good idea [...]

That wasn't so bad, desu. I've never seen such a starry sky, even though I live in a small town. I've never slept so well, human beings are made to go to bed and get up at the same time as the sun. The only thing I missed was Word, doing my work with pen and paper is quite tiresome. But in general, everything has been better. We need to go back to those times when the most advanced home technology was the radio and the telephone. Society would regain the will to live in less than a month. But we know that (((they)))) would never allow that...

I just got it back a couple of hours ago. It was nice while it lasted, I got a lot of work done.

wake up

electricity is gone

try to figure what the fuck is going on

no mobile signal

probably just some repairs

say fuck it, eat some snacks and drink iced tea I had in the fridge

can't cook anything anyway

read shit on my e-reader for a couple hours

get a migraine out of nowhere

decide to try napping since my sleep was shitty anyway and I'm tired

wake up to electricity already back

find out what happened

mfw

gardening and pool maintenance.

Wow, you must be fucking a lot of lonely women

cute

So what's the ((((official))) explanation? Still the unprecedented anomaly shit? How conspiratorial were the talks on the streets? People smelling bullshit?

we lost 60% of production instantly

Why?

yes

According to "experts", it was a poltergeist. Every day that passes, I'm more and more convinced that the politicians are laughing at us

Yesterday they were saying they had purposefully cut the connection with France to avoid the tension drop affecting them as well. Today they're saying that cutting the connection caused it.
The official explanation is that they don't know but it defenitely 100% wasn't a hack, which it means that it probably was.

I had to endure several days without electricity in the start of February because of a storm.

I was with my gf on a quick trip in the east, having a walk on a local castle when it happened. Then we went to a restaurant, we drank some beers and ate rice, guiri style, we talked to the locals about the incidente, we made friends with a chef that gave me a card from his redtaurant, then I took the car, we went to our home, we tried to make a baby and we watched Bullit on a laptop. 5/5 would repeat.

Incident* and restaurant*, phonefagging

what about the money you owe me

Anon Babble needs to go down again.

Why don't you cut your grass? I guarantee your property looks like shit you shutin pedo loli hentai addicted creep.

It happens all the fucking time here. Last year half the Balkans had a blackout like that, but you don't see us journaling about our life changing blackout epiphanies, get over yourself José.

People would just work more for money because there is nothing else to do but work.

power went out as I finished most of my shopping

still have go buy stuff at another store

no traffic lights, get there way faster because no pointless waiting

pay with money as I mostly do anyway

had to carry everything up 7 story building (good exercise)

fill bathtub with water in case the pumps also go out

listen to radio for info on what's going on

I eat everything raw anyway so no issues with cooking

no online class

read a short book on ancient Portuguese history

have best nap I've had in forever (probably from lack of radiation)

get dinner ready while there's still natural light

get candles ready for the night

kind of hyped to see the night sky

power comes back on

Wish it had lasted a couple more hours desu. Also really highlights how bad apartment buildings are. My mom is old and can't easily go through the stairs, as is my dog.
Also wish it had happened today instead but can't complain. Would be cool if this was a thing we did regularly, like once a month we turn it all off.

I lived in Joplin when that tornado went through. No power for a long while.

I feel bad for you portubro. Really, you can't imagine how beautiful a real starry sky is. It's like you have a black dome over your head with thousands of little lights here and there. We humans have done away with all of nature's gifts in order to... what exactly? This life is miserable.

Yeah, my mom even bought a telescope this year. Really sucked but oh well, it was kind of cloudy anyway (this is cope btw)

And here you are, back on the internet to virtue signal your shit, faggot! Congrats! You accomplished fuck all and you're back in your cope cage! Prove me wrong, bitch. Protip: you can't! Sole reason why you shrugged this off is because you knew it would be temporary. You'd go back to monkee if it was out for a month.

nice vlog post faggot, I would say its between the sublime and the picturesque, like the shitty home workout you must have had after 23.00 illuminated by candle lights...
God I can tell you are a scrawny weirdo by the way you write, how you spent your day and that "workout" you had

It was a bit underwhelming desu. Maybe I'm spoiled, but it looked normal. I always assume the light in the horizon was pollution, turns out the Earth really is flat and there's always sunlight bleeding in from the sides even in the middle of the night.

You are correct fellow noticer. I worked more, prayed more, read more. This was a grace from God to remind us about freedom.
God loves Iberia.
When light came back on people started cheering and yelling in the streets. The slavemaster returned! I on the other hand, cried.

You'd go back to monkee if it was out for a month.

I was also thinking about this during blackout

no transports or money

no wild animals to hunt

but also no video cameras, limited comms and no satelite images or tracking

could start hunting migrants for food with impunity as in the days of old

Oh, how close we were to Paradise...

Don't know about you Iberian bros but I slept like a baby this night. The lack of internet and radiation was really felt.

lower ur tone or post body borjamari del jesus

any lying legacy media tell you yet what happened ?

you messed with israel and icc. you are going to feel consequences hard!!

Power went down but I was still phone posting till 5 o clock.
Then I went to bed to take a nap while I left a pizza to defrost.
Around 6 I heard my neighbours talking so I joined in.
At 8 I made the pizza on a pan on the gas stove. I listened to FM radio to get the news.
Back to the neighbours to share the news, that the power would come back at most early morning.
Did not, came back at 9:30 while I was speaking with them.

All in all. Nothing burguer and a burnt bottom pizza. That was my day.

Only coherent story I've read from them is from elconfidencial. QRD:

12:00 solar panels producing at full steam

running 75% on solar

gas, hydro and nuclear power shut down because they're not needed

solar isn't as stable enough, voltage begins fluctuating and we eat shit

>solar isn't as stable enough, voltage begins fluctuating and we eat shit

this is what i was thinking, something
similar to texas in a roundabout way

ok thanks

About everything.

It wasn't a hack. If it was they would grift hard about muh Russia to get more EU rearmament money

I heard in the radio yesterday that the hydroelectric production fell to 0 shortly before the cut
The guy seemed pretty mad about it

You just wouldn't understand until you experience it guys. It was a touch of Heaven. It was a return to true life.

No Microsoft Excel. No TV. No TikTok. With no electromagnetic radiation, birds were noticeably happier and singing ecstatically everywhere (everyone noticed this), by mid-afternoon on one had any brain fog, skies were clear with no chemtrails, vision was sharper, people started talking with each other in the streets and cooperating, building, living. It was the happiest day of my life since at least the early 2000s.

Uncle Ted was fucking right.

I didn't waste too much time listening to the radio yesterday but I briefly listened to some Commie dyke ranting on public radio because the government wasn't subsidizing people's solar panels enough kek. Another Commie dyke was saying we should make all train engines hybrid so they don't get stuck when there are blackouts.
Do not believe that people behaved well yesterday. We reached peak clown world, again, and they would have been in their windows clapping at 20:00 again if asked to. The worst of humanity came out yesterday. Worse than nigger riots.

That sounds awesome bro. It must be something else to experience a full city during a blackout.

Q: What did Spaniards use to light their homes before candles were invented?
A: Electricity.

climate change is now about racism

what the fuck

That's nice here's my day without electricity.

go outside

everything is dark

go inside

everything is dark

look inside

everything is dark

This shit has never happened here man most people ain't thinking about it until it happens, i've one but it's because i need it for a field most people don't and they had to buy campingas to even cook because everybody uses electricity for everything

that's a lot, were there more burglaries and theft?

GF and I

you forgot your meds?

it's only a problem if you don't use firewood for heating

But still, we nee TND and TJD now more than ever.

9-12 hours

waaaaaaaahhhhh

Do without electricity for 7 fucking days then you can complain a little.

Wow who knew a power outage was the only thing that could make Spaniards productive again?

Do without electricity for 7 fucking days then you can complain a little.

In my old days as a kid, this was a norm and we shat in the woods into a hole in the ground. No plumbing either. This was late 90's Portugal. And this was the NORM

productive

only the bartenders

we shat in the woods into a hole in the ground. No plumbing either. This was late 90's Portugal. And this was the NORM

Uh, not it wasn't, not even when visiting my grandmother's family in the fucking village was this ever the case in the 90s.

>gas, hydro and nuclear power shut down because they're not needed

>solar isn't as stable enough, voltage begins fluctuating and we eat shit

Gas, hydro and nuclear produce AC via enormous generators. These AC generators synch phase with each other automatically and form a large virtual phase enforcement pool. Solar uses electronic inverters and these do not sync with each other, causing them to pump phase inverted power into the grid.

Large physical AC generators work like a phase clock pool that inverters sync up against. When the spanish grid went full solar and the last large AC generators disconnected, they lost the clock signal that the solar inverters use and these inverters now start to produce AC power at different rates - one produces AC power at 50.01 hz, another at 49.94 hz and then suddenly everything just breaks apart once they have drifted apart enough. Thats my best guess on how it happened.

When did I even complain you stupid pajeet

Shut up, ESL. European countries that heavily rely on a steady supply of energy to power their economies and keep the fabric of society functioning should hold their governments accountable when such things happen. We are not in South Sudan.

Ill call out the commie nigger lovers in charge for not explaining what really happened but im not gonna pretend getting a day off playing cards and dice at a bar was a terrible experience
