What happens if the internet suddenly disappears worldwide and never comes back?

In this episode of Between the States, Dan, Noel, and Jared imagine their first 24 hours, first week, and first year in a completely offline world. Without Google, GPS, streaming, online banking, digital payments, or YouTube tutorials, everyday life quickly starts looking less like a minor inconvenience and more like an accidental apocalypse.

The conversation spirals through forgotten phone numbers, paper maps, busy signals, grocery shortages, backyard farming, questionable pickling techniques, scavenging for food, rebuilding society, the inevitable Gold Wars, and deciding which host would panic, survive, start a cult, or become dangerously comfortable without the internet.

Could you navigate with an atlas, grow your own food, repair things without a tutorial, or remember how anything worked before everything went online? Let us know how long you think you would survive.
