I can slap people over TCP/IP

Doing so causes your internet service to cut out for several hours.

I’d still use it occasionally.

I'd still use it all the time. Losing internet for a while sucks, but letting someone you'll never meet express their wrong opinions to equally unimportant strangers on a fake place for fake internet points without consequences??????????

Slap people wirelessly, and get a break from the internet to cool off? sign me up.

Still worth it

...and your provider slaps you with a hefty bill.

Is it just the service I was using at the time to perform the slap, or all internet access is closed to me? Also, is it computer based only, or could I potentially buy 20 burner phones to slap the shit out of someone? What about VPNs?

Being the first known human to fully interface with a machine also leads to the discovery of cross-platform illnesses.

You are the first human to experience the effects of a backdoor trojan firsthand.

Trojan can't communicate with host, still a win
