Like, what the actual fuck are the Amish doing on the internet?!! And how do they get here without electricity?!?

It’s 1850s internet and computer. Kind of slow but reliable.

Their "religion " forbids the electricity in the house so they put it in the garage !! True !!

It's BASED on the memories OF the Flood. Gotta remember, that HYDROGEN plasma "lightning" produces a sonic "boom" SOOOO loud it exceeds 160db acoustic pressure levels, at one mile, in O2 sat environments...look THAT up. While not TECHNICALLY "electricity" as we use free electrons, it produces the same effects.

No, that's not true.

"The Amish don't reject electricity because they believe electricity itself is evil. Instead, many Amish communities limit or avoid it because they believe certain technologies can encourage values that conflict with their faith—especially pride, individualism, and separation from family and community.

Some of the main reasons include:

Preserving community: The Amish place enormous importance on close-knit communities. They worry that technologies such as televisions, internet access, and unrestricted electrical service can isolate people or expose them to outside influences that weaken community bonds.

Humility and simplicity: Their faith emphasizes living simply and avoiding unnecessary luxuries. Before adopting a new technology, Amish leaders often ask whether it will make life genuinely better or simply more convenient.

Self-sufficiency: Avoiding dependence on the public electrical grid is, for many Amish groups, a way to maintain independence from the outside world.

Careful evaluation of technology: Rather than rejecting all modern inventions, the Amish typically evaluate each one individually. The question is less "Is it modern?" and more "Will it strengthen or weaken our way of life?"
It's also important to note that not all Amish have the same rules. Their standards are governed by the Ordnung, an unwritten set of community rules, and these vary from one district to another.

For example, Some conservative Amish use no grid electricity at all, relying on kerosene lamps, batteries, propane, or diesel-powered equipment.

Others may use solar panels, battery-powered lights, or generators for specific purposes, such as powering tools in a workshop or cooling milk on a dairy farm.

Some Amish businesses use electricity extensively, provided it doesn't come directly from the public grid or otherwise violate their community's rules.

So, the Amish are generally not anti-technology. Their approach is to adopt technology selectively, based on whether it supports their religious values and communal way of life rather than simply because it is new or old."

ChatGPT composed this for me, but it's accurate. My aunt and uncle did business with an Amish community for as long as I can remember and I regularly joined them when they went out there every weekend. We (well, mostly my uncle) bartered with them and helped them with mechanical type stuff (like welding and fabricating) while I played with the Amish kids. We always had lunch with the same families and because of that, I actually got to know those people very well over the course of almost two decades.

(Btw, if you'd eaten as much Amish food for as long as I did, you'd realize just how shitty the average American diet really is...)

So please don't fabricate shit or make assumptions based on some random things you heard secondhand because it's obvious you know very little about them.
