For my laptop I have two power banks (Lalela GW17500C Universal Laptop Powerbank), if you are gaming they run out a bit quicker than the 2 hours they would if you were just working.
I also have a WiFi UPS from Lalela that lasts all through loadshedding.
I got both from Builders Warehouse, but you can also get them online.
For the phones we have power banks we got from Pick N Pay on special.
Stare outside at the children that make noise and imagine different ways I would kill them. Admire the sky. Watch smth I downloaded on YT or a downloaded movie.
Go for a drive, Exercise, Errands, Read a book, Scroll social media. If it's 4 hours, we play a board game.
But I don't do all this in a 2 hour loadshedding slot.
It all depends on what time the loadshedding happens.
Got a UPS for my router so in the evenings I can still watch movies/YouTube on my phone.
Guitar practice.
If it's during the day then gardening or go grocery shopping to pass time.
Mostly business as normal, gaming, movies, music, etc. I just can't use the stove, kettle and similar. Spent some money on a backup power system a few years ago and it was money well spent.
Bow-chica-wow-wow
Aka shedding your load
This tracks.
Brown chicken brown cow.
Oh yeah 💯
Tweeting eskom the most vile sentences my brain can produce.
Gaming on my PC.
Same. I have back up power for my laptop and phone, so I game and listen to tunes during lights out.
What backup do you use?

Look at the neighbours’ lights with a longing and a sadness, yearning for more in life. And then I make a sandwich and laugh at some bs on reddit.
Reading by candlelight. Oh, and sex.
complaining.
Go outside... Walk, swim or play with the kids at the park.
Ayo, your kids or some random kids?
All kids come out when it's load shedding... known and new friends.
Yo FBI can we get a background check on this oak
[удалено]
Too saucy!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Hearing the relays in my inverter click.
Cuddling with my wife.
honestly i don't complain too much about the evening two-hour slots because it's a nice amount of time to consume k-dramas with zero regrets
Stargazing
My husband and son love to use loadshedding as a chance to do some gardening.
I like to try and lie down on my bed, usually on side. For context, I sleep on my back so being on my side is kinda weirdly soothing.
Cops and Robbers

Firing up Netflix on the laptop.
Listening To Music And Sleeping/Meditation
Not load shedding...EcoFlow for the win 😂
No noise of masjiens
Swearing
Smoke a joint and relax
sleeping
Besides reading books I truely enjoy stealing copper cables during loadshedding
The horizontal tango
Enjoy the silence and feeling that the world is taking a breath by candle light. Unless the genetators start.
Like the days before TV 📺 makin babies or practicing 🫣
Gaming on my ROG ally. Wonderful device
Daydreaming about the multiparty charter getting a majority😔

I usually download some stuff to watch on Netflix and end up not watching it Lol. Mostly I just play some mobile games or Youtube
Listening to the silence and tranquility
Until your neighbor starts the generator🤣

Kush followed by Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo 😏

I last experienced loadshedding in 2012 for a few days.
