How (if at all) would the survivors use the Internet if they could?


Recommended Posts

Simple concept for a non-serious thread: what do you think the online habits of the survivors would be if they had access to the Internet? I'll start.

Wilson: Spends his internet time on Reddit. He gets in arguments with people who know more than him about anything scientific, and he gets upset when they can cite sources that contradict what he thinks is true. He keeps going back there because of that one time where he actually was right about something ultimately inconsequential and got a lot of upvotes.

Willow: Runs a fairly successful YouTube channel where she either eats spicy food or burns expensive things. She also likes starting flame wars on Twitter. All attempts to cancel her have failed.

Wolfgang: Sometimes posts pictures of himself post-workout on Instagram (Warly showed him how to use it). Doesn't really know how to use the internet aside from that.

Wendy: Has a very depressing, edgy Tumblr account where she frequently references wanting to die and posts dark poetry quotes. She also watches cartoons she and Abigail used to enjoy on YouTube, but she'll never let anyone know that.

WX-78: Goes to 4chan purely because they love how easy it is to make people angry there. That, and they find the gore threads hilarious. 

Wickerbottom: Almost exclusively uses the internet to read research papers, otherwise preferring books she can hold. She sometimes goes to Wikipedia, but to correct articles, not to learn from them. 

Woodie: Doesn't care much for the internet himself, but he still logs on to Facebook sometimes for Lucy's sake (she likes to keep up with people). Hates Twitter because its logo was a bird. He's the only person who's happy about their logo changing to an X.

Wes: Mimeposts on Twitter. I will not elaborate.

Maxwell: Also posts on 4chan, but with a name because his ego's too big for him to remain anonymous. Frequent target of WX-78's trolling (he takes the bait every single time and the robot loves it). Periodically stops using the internet out of disdain for stupid people, but then comes back because he misses the easy attention. 

Wigfrid: What is this "inter-net" öf which yöu speak?

Webber: Likes to play online games with his friends. He also stalks his parents' posts on Facebook when he feels lonely, but it just makes him feel sad.

Winona: Loves do-it-yourself sites and subreddits. She probably has a YouTube channel where she makes cool stuff.

Warly: Highly successful cooking YouTuber who also posts pictures of his dishes on other sites (Twitter, Instagram, etc). Spends his YouTuber bucks on care for Maman. He does all of this on top of still being employed as a chef.

Wormwood: Doesn't understand what a computer is. They tried to make him use it anyway and he accidentally got manure in the keyboard. He's not been allowed to touch one since.

Wurt: Too young to use the Internet. Most of the others actively keep her away from its corruptive influence.

Walter: Only uses the Internet to check up on whatever his scout group is doing. 

Wanda: Hates how much of a time-waster the Internet can be if you're not careful. She complains about how bad search algorithms are now and misses the days when you could just find what you were looking for on Google.

Wonkey: Monke.

 

These are just my takes, what do you all think?

wortox? i guess he would randomly join an argumend, says 1 thing on the matter, then leaves to make everyone else confused, or he would just...make a scam on the internet scaming people of selling there souls to him

he's running a youtube "prank" channel

I think it will be more of a “Do not repair the ancient gateway at 3 am. Gone wrong. Shadow queen is involved.” And “I just took this terrarium from another plane of existence, let’s see what happens.” Also instead of asking for likes, subscribes and clicking the bell, he would just ask his views to give their souls to him.

Wilson: Science Youtube videos. Making and/or watching.
Willow: Fire/explosive Youtube videos. Making and/or watching. Voted most likely to be in jail for arson within the first year back.
Wolfgang: Gym Bro stuff.
Wendy: True Crime, even though she is definitely too young for that.
WX: Learns how to Program then only uses the Internet for Googling what lines of code it needs for whatever project it does.
Wickerbottom: Uses it strictly for purchasing books or looking up videos/reviews of books. Voted most likely to ask for help with using a device.
Woodie: GPS to find a suitable rural area then is never heard from again.
Wes: When booting up whatever device he uses, it crashes.
Maxwell: 3 possibilities I see: 1) Dark Web, realizes the horrors actually there and never uses the internet again. 2) Tries to find others that know/use the Shadows/Nightmares for some reason. 3) Looking up his nearest Therapist that accepts new patients.
Wigfrid: Looks for work around the world for Valkyrie Opera auditions.
Webber: Roblox, ForkKnife, or Minecraft (idk what children play nowadays)
Winona: Construction/engineering Youtube videos. Making and/or watching.
Warly: Cooking Youtube videos. Making and/or watching.
Wormwood: Corn... But like... literally corn.                           (I wanted to make the joke, sue me)
Wortox: Uploads harmless prank videos.
Wurt: Likely playing with Webber.
Walter: Looking for a new Boy Scout group to join.


Wanda: I... don't know.
 

Wonkey: Neuron Activation.

Winona has several quotes that imply that she hates handmade stuff. So instead, I'd say she likes binge-watching "How it's made" episodes.

She's a fun gal tho, so she probably also loves the "How it's actually made" parody vids from Huggbees

She died though.

She would be the one underaged person on the dst discord spitting nonsense.
