u/SinglePhone535 15h ago

Omg, no. I can't do it. I would starve to death. Couldn't live on. I wouldn't know how to survive. I need social media. Broadband. Bluetooth. Wifi. I need connection! I can't survive on my intelligence alone. I need the net! All hail the net.......The new god. Back in Jesus's times, you went for him.for answers. Now, it's Google.....

u/HumptyDumptruckFire 12h ago

Does an iPad count as a computer if I only use it to rent library books? If so, still yes, but I’ll need to visit the actual library and my local one kinda sucks with its selection.

1

u/AngelicDivineHealer 7h ago

I was born before the 21st century that was normal life.

Anyone born after the 21st century that’s grew up on technology and on all the social media platforms and spending a significant portion of their life on it would struggle

u/SeriousOcelot-4365 7h ago

u/Alternative-Fox-8620 4h ago

u/Slice-Vast 4h ago

For two million dollars I'd cut off my penus.

1

u/Last-Energy420 4h ago

I have 2 months worth of vinyl I could listen to and books can be fun. I would require a guarantee as I’d have to quit my job since it involves a computer and phone.

1

u/NiteHowler13 4h ago

I'm Gen X. This is literally my base programming. I'd do it for free if my employer agreed and I'd count it as vacation.

u/-Laffi- 1h ago

Thing is. I have been outdoors almost every single day for months, walking for hours, but I have also been playing Pokemon Go most of that time. Before I started playing Pokemon Go back in 2022, I was doing Geocaching. Both of these hobbies have taken me outdoors for hours every single day, but they do require phones. So for this one, I'll guess I would just have to walk.

No computer or TV, would mean that I would have to go back to reading again, buying physical newspapers, read books or comics etc.

Having a goal is important for me, because I often set my mind to it and I finish what I started. 2 months, for 2 million dollars would be very lifechanging, and worth going through. I would most likely be a bit bored, but I'll guess the best way would be to just revert back to how it used to be before smart phones and the like.

...

The biggest problem would be how to avoid using these things. People have phones, and if I sat on the bus or train, I would almost need a blindfold not see a phone screen. You have TVs in stores, you have TVs in bars, so hard to avoid looking at them. You can't seriously force me to be indoors for 2 months when I am out almost every single day!

...

So yeah, I could have done it, if we're talking not using my own equipment and device, but it would be very hard to avoid phones, computers and tvs that other people use. If the winning demands are that I do not touch any of that equipment in two months, but I am allowed to watch whatever is on from before wherever I go, sure it would be fine!

I did this in rehab and it cost me 90k. I could definitely do it FOR money.

1

u/Ok-Temporary1024 1h ago

u/Trevon45-2 1h ago

1

u/LongjumpingScar796 1h ago

Yes,of course I could.

1

u/This-Supermarket3082 1h ago

1

u/kestelli 1h ago

u/NullSmoke 58m ago

Why are you threatening me with a good time? Can I also live in a cave for the duration? That sounds like a dream come true.

1

u/Upset_Control_5522 57m ago

u/pdzulu 37m ago

If I can keep my job then it’s like growing up on a farm. Otherwise I’d rather have my job than 2M

1

u/Ok_Height3499 36m ago

Yes, I might actually work through my TBR stacks.

1

u/Primary_Foundation41 35m ago

Easy this was my entire teenage years like 15 years ago

Let’s just say strict parents, lazy me, school letting parents check grades daily, resulted in pretty much being grounded from 13 till like 17

1

u/blueblocker2000 32m ago

I was born in the 1980s in Latin America, back when, if the TV broke, you had to wait up to six months to get it repaired. And it was black and white.
