What Happens When A Country Has No Internet For Five Weeks?

Offline Nation: Five Weeks Without Internet Access

Imagine waking up, reaching for your phone, and seeing… nothing. No tweets, no TikToks, not even a buffering cat meme. For one country, this wasn’t just a bad morning—it was five weeks of total digital silence. The good news? Productivity probably skyrocketed. The bad news? Half the population forgot how to function without Google Maps.

These Cannabis Gummies Keep Selling Out

Most people prefer to smoke cannabis but that isn't an option if you're at work or in public. That's why we were so excited when we found out about Mood's new Rapid Onset THC Gummies. They can take effect in as little as 5 minutes without the need for a lighter, lingering smells or any coughing. We recommend you try them out because they offer a 100% money-back guarantee. And for a limited time, you can receive 20% off with code FIRST20.

All the Bad Habits We’re Keeping in 2025 🥴

Who needs New Year’s resolutions when you’re already a flawless work of art? Or at least that’s the excuse we’re going with.

Besides, have you ever noticed how January resolutions are just December regrets in disguise?

Michael Jordan was earning about $33 million a year during his Chicago Bulls heyday—mind you, that was just his salary. The real kicker? He made over $100 million annually from endorsements. Basically, he got paid more to wear sneakers than to dunk on everyone’s hopes and dreams. Imagine earning millions just because your name is on someone’s shoes while you casually destroy their favorite team.

The dining options in this house scream choices. Want a quiet family breakfast? Check. Hosting a dinner party for friends who’ll inevitably stay too long? Also check. And the gourmet kitchen? It’s ready to churn out everything from Michelin-starred meals to a questionable attempt at soufflé. Just remember: with those mountain views, even burnt toast feels fancy.
