Food, water and electricity will be provided so the answer isn't just a fuck ton of food+water

I'd bring my retroid, have a fuck ton of games on it, would prolly spend a while playing xmen vs street fighter

Well, then I'm in the smartphone/laptop camp.

Preloaded with either the Wikipedia via Kiwix, or a few dozen GB of Project Gutenberg, and some software/apps for writing, drawing, math, coding, etc.

Give me a place to sleep, air, water, food, meds, a toilet, maybe a change of clothes from time to time, plus stuff to read, learn, and experiment with, and I could easily stay in a room "off the internet" for waaaay longer than 24 hours. Probably closer to a year... or ten.

Some time in the future, I'd probably say portable VR computer (bonus for no internet, so no ads, and no tracking).
