Social Question

If there was no such thing as Fluther or any other social networking website, what would you be doing now?

Asked by Dutchess_III (47069points) December 21st, 2010

Say you still have the same internet access you do now to everything, except no social sites….
I think I’d get a lot more done in the house, and when I was online I’d be cruising around the NGM and Discover sites.

I genuinely have no idea! It’s just past 11pm here and at this time of the day I’m normally just floating about Twitter or whatever. Without any of that I’d probably be forced to watch TV maybe, which isn’t something I do all that often.

There you are again @krisstopherr! My psychic powers tell me….you’re from the South of England!
I seriously don’t get twitter. You can’t really have discussions on the from what I’ve seen. I think you’ll really like how different this is from there.

Workin’ on one of my books or cleaning, or something else I should be doing instead of goofing around on the interwebz.

I would be sleeping and ignoring my 20 year old Physics homework

@talljasperman This place will keep you up past your bedtime, that’s for sure!

Reading. Doing a lot of reading. And cleaning up around the house.

I’M MISSING JUDGE JUDY BECAUSE OF THIS PLACE! Grrrr.

I don’t know. Maybe reading. Yeah. I’d probably be reading. I used to read five magazines a month and a newspaper and about thirty novels per year.

Now I’ve given up all magazines but one and the newspaper. No novels at all. All my news and information comes from here now. I might also be watching TV or listening to the radio news.

Honestly? Playing with by myself

Dutchess_III's avatar

Uh, no. It’s OK if you lie instead @papayalily

@Dutchess_III Ha, no! I’m actually from Scotland! That’s true, I don’t think I’ve ever really had a discussion on Twitter, although I wouldn’t say I’ve ever attempted to. I use it mainly for stalking celebrities…I kid! I don’ really like Twitter that much, yet I think I’m rather addicted to it. It’s good for it’s real time updates in regards to news etc.

Well, let us know what you think after a while!
May I ask…how did you find us?

krisstopherr's avatar

…Twitter. Ha! I read their blog post about them adding some staff from here to their team and as I’d never heard of Fluther before I thought I would come check it out.

Baking. Which, I sort of am, while social networking.

JilltheTooth's avatar

@TheOnlyNeffie : Put me down for a coupla dozen whatever it is your baking. Thank you. Love Jill.

ANef_is_Enuf's avatar

Think it’s too late to send cookies by mail?

JilltheTooth's avatar

They don’t have to be here by Christmas. I love cookies any time!

HungryGuy's avatar

I’d be writing more :-p

Editing my photos or reading.

But specifically today, I would be wrapping the framed photos that I’m giving as Xmas gifts. I keep putting it off, because the frames have some sticky residue leftover from the price tags. So first I have to find some solvent to get that off without wrecking the finish on the frames, then I have to wrap them (there’s 8 of them). All the rest of my gifts have been wrapped and put under the tree for a week now.

TV or video games.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Wow…lotta life out there, isn’t there…

classykeyser's avatar

I would probably be stinking drunk somewhere (else).

ANef_is_Enuf's avatar

I would like to retract my answer about baking and change it to what @classykeyser said.

I will still send cookies to Jill, though.

Cruiser's avatar

Certainly not surf porn and but I would read Science Blogs.

JilltheTooth's avatar

@TheOnlyNeffie : Thanks, Sweetie!
I’d be reading Matt Browne’s book and eating Neffie’s cookies.

Jude's avatar

Same as papalily.

Oh, and just getting out and about.

LuckyGuy's avatar

I’d have more wood split and stacked by the house.
But I’d miss the warmth here….. Sniff

Dutchess_III's avatar

@TheOnlyNeffie Drunken cookies? Can you send some to me too??!

ANef_is_Enuf's avatar

You know it.

Haleth's avatar

Sleeping. I worked 12 hours today and have to be up at 4am tomorrow. On that note, good night! Thanks for the question/ reminder.

perspicacious's avatar

creating one

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

I’d probably be reading or writing. Or drinking spiked eggnog and running around naked…

MyNewtBoobs's avatar

@WillWorkForChocolate I vote for the second one.

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

@papayalily Hehe. Maybe I could write naked, as I sip the Rumnog.

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

@papayalily Maybe tomorrow, I’m about to go crash! Shopping darn near killed me today!

MyNewtBoobs's avatar

@WillWorkForChocolate I’d love to crash but I’m staying up for the lunar eclipse.

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

I’d be on StumbleUpon a lot more.

Deja_vu's avatar

When I’m on Fluther or any other social site I’m multitasking on the web. Downloading music or doing research on something. I’ll get up and do other stuff between. I walk away from my computer alot. In fact, I’m going to hang up some laundry and before this question I cleaned my kitchean. I spend more time on the computer between chores. I still have time to do normal activities in my day. Geeez.
