How long would you survive if electricity vanished?

[BCoetzer]

Electricity doesn’t just fail. It vanishes. Forever. No power. No backups. No second chances. Planes crash. Cities ignite. Pacemakers stop.

Within hours, the world spirals into madness. Food is gone. Water is poison. Humanity tears itself apart in the dark.

This isn't survival. It's extinction in slow motion.

So - how long do you survive?

 

[rh1]

As someone whose initial years was in a village which had no running water or electricity.

Its okay, will miss the internet though.

Till eternity, I survive without electricity in Lesotho all the time, It is only the weak here on MYBB who cant survive, they lack basic survival skills. I blame it on poor parenting and upbringing.

So you'll grow your own food, acquire medicine through magic?

Again with this kak...

If electricity vanished, I'd thrive.

BUTTTTTT

Then the question changes....like that other idiots post.

If the water is poison, max 3 days as per : https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/325174#how-long-can-you-live-without-water

Yes, My ancestors did it all the time and survived a long time, A single cloud in the sky and you throw a hissy fit because your redundant solar cant charge fast enough. what kind of life is that, You are inherently weak.

Sources of water and food are smaller problems than the 60 murders a day scum growing exponentially overnight.

Is this a special level of loadshedding where Cyril comes to rip the battery out of your chest like you’re Ironman or something?

You do know this would be no LG OLED, no BMW 320D or iphone right?
Plus your ancestors survived, but those that didn't died of common diseases we cure with a shot nowadays.

A forum frequented by people in the tech industry and the majority response is ''I'd thrive, I know how to live off the land''.
