you'd have to find a tribe or become self reliant ( very unlikely if you have no experience)

Yeah I'd have to drive across the country and try to find people I know at old hangouts.

This would probably result in an apocalypse, depending on what she means by "Technology".
God, imagine the simplicity of it.

Even if it just means electricity, that's a grid down scenario and that likely means 90% die

The rural United States would likely not change that much. Oh no, I can no longer file my taxes properly. Oh well. The government is collapsing right now anyway. Time to go back to tending my sheep and cultivating a farm. What’s that my John Deere doesn’t work? That’s OK I have an old tractor parked in the shed. That just needs a little bit of oil and it’s good to go. What’s that? My car no longer works because the ECU is done? That’s OK I can just use my lawn tractor to get down to the corner store for some oil. What’s that the cashier can’t take card? That’s OK I always carry cash on me anyway anyways. Oh no cash doesn’t work because the government has collapsed? That’s OK, I traded a pie that my wife made for a couple of things of oil.

You realize the tractor and lawn mower require fuel as well as oil right? Who is going to drill, refine and delivery proper fuel with no technology in an apocalypse? Do you think farming is hard and time consuming now? What you can accomplish in one day with technology will take you multiple days if not weeks without it. You want to eat? Now you have to find even more time to cultivate vegetables, hunt it fish for protein, store or properly prepare that food. Want to warm your house? Now you have to find even more time to build a safe indoor fire place followed by finding trees to cut down by hand then chop it all up by hand. That’s just the beginning of things that will pile up very quickly and require the basic knowledge to even do most of it.

Not once in that entire statement did I hear you say it wasn’t possible. All of technology fall apart? That’s fine. Humanity has been getting along without it for thousands of years. Horses will go back into the norm. Donkies will be used in farm labor. Working the land will be done by hand. I don’t think we are insects, but humanity is more resilient than roaches.

Sure it’s possible but your examples are completely unrealistic. You can’t drive tractor’s on oil alone and good luck finding any fuel after a couple of weeks. Your wife going to make that pie with no oven? No because that would take a ridiculous amount of time that will be needed doing hundreds of other things that require a vast amount of time with no technology. You are trying to make it sound easy when in reality it will be non stop work just to have the most basic recourses just to survive even if you have the knowledge to complete those task.

It wouldn’t be easy, but you can bake a pie without technology. A fire in an iron box could bake a pie. And it’s not like the tractor is gonna run out of gas the moment the economy and government fall apart. Out in the sticks most people have gas canisters with a little bit of fuel in them on reserve just in case. Because they live so far away from the nearest civilization. My point was that the country folk wouldn’t be as affected as the city folk. The cities would essentially just become PUBG. I’m not saying it would be easy for the rural community. I’m just saying it would be easier for them cause they already have a basic understanding of living without most of the bells and whistles.

The reason I’m able to say these things is that I grew up over an hour and a half from a small city. I grew up farming and have first hand knowledge of how much it would take to do even the basic things without technology. Yes, most farms store fuel but you would be lucky to have a month or two and that’s if other people don’t try and come for it. Once it’s gone things will get real very quickly. It would be a very strenuous life and there are so many other things you would have to juggle just to survive on top of farming.

I still think you’re not hearing me. I feel like this is a battle of a pessimist over an optimist. I’m not saying it would be easy. I’m saying it would be easier. I grew up in a small town. I helped with the cows. I dug post holes and fire pits. I mowed yards that took me two hours. All I’m saying is that in comparison to others, country folk would have it easier in comparison to other people if all of technology ceased. They already have a farm going. And livestock. You know who doesn’t have those things? City living people who don’t have anything but technology. I’m not gonna explain myself again, I think I’ve made my point extremely clear. I’m not downplays the difficulty. I am, however, up playing the ease in comparison to everyone else’s struggle.

Anybody else skim through people's arguments then get annoyed because they have to read the whole shit because it sounds interesting?
I'll edit with the gist of it.
Edit: "Wings" first message was mental, I give up. Someone else do it.

anything that is man-made and serves a utility could be classified as technology.
everything would disappear. cities, towns, energy centrals, satellites, everything.

We gotta find the joy in simple or small things, because we're already dealing with a lotta big ones. Being a guy usually means dealing with, as Chris Rock said best, only being loved when you contribute or do something the others would consider valuable or worthy. Animals, kids, even women can earn a lot of love without that, men have to give a lot and struggle hard to be valued.
Keep in mind I'm not by any means saying women don't deal with their own psychological issues with treatment from others and stuff, but think about how many cry at a woman's funeral as opposed to a man's. Lot more feelings for a woman than a man.

This is an interesting question, but I don’t think most people realize what all technology being gone means
Technology isn’t just iPhones and computers, it is literally everything we use to do things easier, even just breaking a nut open with a rock counts as technology because the rock would be a tool
We would literally become monkeys

Influencers getting as creative as they can with their camera angles to get views. At first it's talking while pretending to eat or drink something, and now they virtually lay in bed with you
