Let's say you have to get rid of indoor plumbing or the internet.
Conditions: If you choose to give up indoor plumbing, your house (houses if you have more than one) cannot have any plumbing of any kind. You have to fetch water from a well that is 100 feet away from the house, and shit in an outhouse that is also 100 feet away. Your place of work and your friends' houses still have indoor plumbing you can use while you are there. If you choose to give up the internet, you cannot have any kind of internet, to include your phone, at your house. You are free to to use the internet, just not at your house. What say you? |

plumbing hands down... I pee outside almost 100% of the time anyway and shit at work... I would find out how much water I needed for a weeks supply to drink/cook/clean with and stock up with bottles and buckets.. Also I would have my gutters plumed into my basement into holding tanks that I can draw from when need be... The only downside would be bathing... I guess id rig up one of those camp showers and heat 5 gallons of water at a time with my turkey fryer.. I camp a lot, sometimes for over a week, and not once has the no running water ruined my experience... I just filter what I need when I need it...

Lived in an RV about 5 years, got use to going to the bathhouse.
|

Drinkable water flowing out of my sink, and human waste vanishing with the push of a handle. Most countries couldn't imagine that. I take plumbing. I will buy a set of encyclopedias!

The internet. Try going without plumbing in your house for 1 week. The last hurricane learned me.
|

I grew up in cabins with outhouses and hauled our water from a natural spring.
I ain't giving up midget porn. |
|
Id keep the plumbing. I love hot showers or baths. Amongst other than things. I'd miss the internet/arfcom though. I could live with out both but I also very glad I have both.
|
|
Wait, can I take hot showers outside?
I had a friend with a gay dad who owned a house in the country. They take showers outside. |

Bye bye internetz. I'll take the modern marvel of indoor plumbing.
|

Bunch of fucking nerds.
Of course I'd give up the internet. How is this even a debate? |

Before the Internet, stuff worked just fine, and it wasn't missed at all. Hell, we put a bunch of dudes on the moon, put Satellites in orbit, created the sexiest and fastest aircraft the world will ever see, and had more chow and clean water than we knew what to do with....and people had to deal with each other, so they weren't antisocial cunts blaming whatever mental disorder dejour.
Before proper plumbing, shit was ugly. Out here in the sticks, it wasn't bad at all really. You just had to deal with a chamber pot, or walk out in a damn blizzard to take a dump. Work the pump for water, and take it indoors to wash your ass and for cooking...no biggie, except when the thing freezes. The City folks, being inherently nasty as well as stupid, had it rough, because they are lazy. Shit and piss everywhere, people sick as hell from shitborne diseases, and a stench beyond description between rainstorms. Water was a quandry, as all that shit and piss ended up in the water sources, rivers, lakes, streams, and shallow wells. Public water sources were shared, wells and cisterns. City folks are just NASTY critters, even with plumbing, so I can see them refusing to give it up. I'd give up either, but the plumbing isn't nearly as useful as the 'net when it comes to life's challenges, and I have lived without plumbing longer than I have lived with the internet. |

Looks like 42% of people voting in this poll are addicted to pr0n and/or arfcom.
I voted to keep indoor plumbing. I am not stumbling through 6 feet of snow in -27 degree weather just to take a hunker. |

Internet can go. I've been forced to live without plumbing due to a couple hurricanes and it really sucks.
|
|
I mean its a pretty clear choice. Its not like you are never going to be able to use the internet again, just not at home. Simple solution is to live at work and work for Google.

I have a fully pornographic memory so I don't need most of the internet and the out house I'm o.k. with. Make it indoor running hot and cold water and 56k dial up and we've got a deal.

Being a Eagle Scout as long as I can get the snail addresses of the few people I keep in touch with, bye bye internet. Outside this website the whole world wide web has turned into a massive pile of shit anyways.
Over the air TV, Radio, magazines and books covers most of what you actually need to know anyways. I've crapped in the woods in screwy positions enough in my life. I'll keep the plumbing, and say good bye to this site, and the few others that are worthy reading. But being 38 computers and the whole internet weren't a thing for the masses till very late 90's. Grew up with jsut a bit of cable TV at friends houses, and we played DnD camping or Magic the Gathering cause neither took battery power. Game Boys were sorta weak at that point far as battery power, so I am the last of those analog kids I guess. Came to age with internet, but same time if it died I'd only be sad if I lack a few international addresses to send snail mail to. |

No contest. Shit in a bag or the WWW? As an adult, I've lived without plumbing for years at a time. Hauled water too. . |

being deployed in Africa a couple times you get used to having access to the internet but no indoor plumbing. The poor Africans we worked with didn't even know what a toilet was. When the engineers put together some toilets/stalls for them, they just washed their clothes in them. But they all had phones with internet.

I got no issues with browsing the web from the comfort of my poorly insulated harbor freight greenhouse.

I spent several years with no indoor plumbing. (I did have cold running water in the summer). Had the fanciest shitjack in western Montana too, so I didn't mind that.
The interwebs hadn't come along yet...but it sure would have been sweet to have all the information back then. |
|
|
I chose not water but I live in a dry cabin and it's farther than a hundred feet to water and the shit house.
