For me it’s calculating. Too many people put math into their search engines and not their calculator.
Reading- I am absolutely horrible at this. I’ll read anything and everything online, but never make the time to read a physical book.
I do this because all too often book print is tiny whereas I can adjust font size on a digital page.
I love physical books, but accessibility is sometimes a problem.
Listening music and E-Magazines. You download them and of you go. Specifically for music, I download songs on my phones using newpipe, or I listen CD’s from my collection, no need for youtube or spotify all the time.
To check whether it’s raining
I don’t have windows in my office :(
To turn off and on light bulbs
But that would require getting up off my sofa and walking across the living room.
Remotes exist
Writing documents
I am also guilty of this since i really like google docs
Asking what people use the internet for that can be done just as easily offline.
Too many people put math into their search engines and not their calculator.
People are doing what now? fr? There’s a whole ass app for that.
If you type it the search bar, it pulls up a calculator with the answer on it. I do it all the time.
Whacking off
Analog masturbation just hits different. Or so I’ve been told
How does one do that online?
You haven’t seen the latest chatGPT update?
Transferring files between their devices, apple dummies think the only way to transfer files is to upload it first to their cloud drive and then download it on the other device from it, because apple won’t let them just connect their dumb iphones to a computer using a cable and just copy paste stuff to it like any other normal phone, heck they don’t even know about local network file transfer apps like Send Anywhere or Resilio Sync, all they know is airplay which only works between apple devices

Calculators. Why use the Google calculator, when there’s one pre-installed in every device you own.
Think.
I self host a lot of software. something like 20 different apps.
the amount of self hosted open source software that uses CDNs for libraries is too damn high.
it became such a problem for me that I created my own locally managed CDN and use rewrite rules on any of my apps to replace remote packages with local ones.
I’ve even cloned entire repos, replaced the references with local ones.
IMO, if your software is “self hosted” it should be a fully functioning service that will run without the internet. your app is broke shit if it doesn’t work when the internet goes down and is meaningless to self host at that point.
my point, any app you use online can, in theory, be done offline. you just need the skill, knowledge, and drive to make it that way.
