I'm sitting here doing some pretty good damage to a bottle of Bushmill's and I'm thinking about how much I'll miss whiskey. I can distill my own, but it won't be like this. Other things on my list:

1. Dr. Pepper -- What the hell is it? It tastes good, but what is it?
2. The internet
3. photographs -- not too difficult, but I never learned those skills.
4. Guinness extra stout -- see comments about Bushmill's

I'm a doomer, so I know my list of what won't be available will be different than others. The question pertains to what you would miss if your vision of crash/power down/slow bleed happens.

I think Internet will still be alive and well but just that the number of people online might diminish to a trickle...maybe just peak oiler with enough solar panels.

I heard internet is nuclear explosion proof...i think.

I will miss

1. Cheap Stuff from China
2. Cheap transportation
3. Cheap food
4. Mega Shops
5. Safe streets.

flying around in a cessna just for fun ...

wait a Minute ... maybe ... nah

Disneyland
Easy Living for My child and wife

Okay, so, seeing the joy on a childs face as they visit Mickey's house is a more abohorent display of excess than sitting in front of a computer swilling Bushmills and Guiness or Flying around in a cessna jet just for fun. Why is this any different from on-demand hot water? All are luxuries, are they not? Obviously, the point of the original posters question. So, flame elsewhere Gideon! Futhermore, foriegn tourists make special pilgrimages to California and Florida USA specifically to visit the socalled shithole of fat American excess.

Speculating about what life will be like after the crash.

I'd miss my extreme abundance of free time.

I'd also miss cheap restaurant food.

[sameu]

affordable cigarettes
the evenings at the pub/disco

damn, life is going to be boring as hell

ow what will suck monkeyballs too is the fact that all the dreams you've had about travelling to places, seeing stuff will defenitely be shattered

Being able to fly half way round the world to visit my parents. Hopefully the phone system will still be with us even if 747s aren't.

We've already cut just about everything most people think of as normal back or completely away from our lives, so already things like hot water on demand or the ability to travel are incredibly appreciated.

While we have a reasonable amount of food insecurity right now, we still have plenty to eat. In a crash, this really concerns me. We just lost a lot of our garden to a freak cold snap, and were that all we had, it would have been devastating.

More than anything, I'll miss the "buffer" that we have in almost all regards... from illness, from starvation, from weather, from cold/hot, from parasites/insects, from other humans, from the government, from economic despair...

If you'll bend your backs, I will help you re-engineer running water and the caldarium (hot water on demand).

I will miss Coca-Cola, Chinese food (this will be painful), and Pineapple.

[ucosty]

I guess it depends on what peakoil takes away.

For all I know I may simply want peace. Civil war/unrest anybody?

[peaker_2005]

I will miss computers. Probably CDs as well. And the internet (being able to have contact with folks you've not seen in some time is going to become much, much harder).

I will NOT miss most of what parades these days as "music", though.
