Ask Lemmy

nobody has said rice or potatoes or anything like that. you're all completely fucked

also cum

weed

Antibiotics.

We all would die so quickly and horribly without them.

Condoms, in case we need to repopulate the earth

Economy Wonderglue. I've played Fallout 4, I know what you need.

malted barley In the end of the world, or even just at the collapse of civilization as we know it, these can be used to make beer. Yeast is naturally occurring, hops just grow on vines, but malting grains seems to be the hardest part of the process to me.

Electricity would be tempting. If you have access to water, you can boil it to make it safe. Run a refrigerator to store food. A convenient source of heat for cooking. Stay warm in the winter, stay cool in the summer. Lights for when it's dark. Use power tools to build things. Listen to music, watch movies, play those old Nintendo games.

Even after some time when your electronics break down and scavenging working ones gets tough, it's not difficult to build things like simple resistive heaters. Making crude incandescent light bulbs wouldn't be impossible either.

Milk, given an unlimited supply i won't have to worry about it spoiling. Gives a decent amount of nutrients and water and can use it to make cheese or butter eventually, And is a life without cheese and butter really worth living?

A machine that allows me to travel across space-time so I can just nope-out of the universe amd find a new one in a timelime where the apocalypse didn't happen.

Pregnant women. Because they're hot and their milk supply is easy to induce.

Heroin. Either build an army of addicts who're completely loyal to me or I can just off myself depending on how things are going.

Gin, I don't plan on surviving in an apocalypse

I'm diabetic. I choose insulin.

clean water

Drinkable water.

Goats. Food, friends and defense.

Hugs from a nice person. The apocalypse is going to be really depressing I'll need the love

Along those lines antibiotics would be better.

Nanobots!

What flavor of apocalypse matters a lot. If it's zombies, ammo becomes critical. If it's nuclear, ammo is less important and water filtration probably becomes critical. If it's a gigantic asteroid that blots out the sun, water is easy to find but food is critical.

For an unknown apocalypse, I think I'll go with gasoline. Not critical in and of itself, but helps a lot more generally with a lot of stuff, being able to power a generator and move camp more easily.

I choose an unlimited supply of cell-phone minutes so I can say "told you so" to all the apocalypses deniers.

Water; for living

can I get them all in one lump sum or do I have to use them up before getting another?

Fresh, hot pizza from Ray's.

Not fresh at the time of the apocalypse. Fresh at the time I seek it.

Of course that would mean I would also get a steady supply of clean water and of all the ingredients required to make the pizza. But that is simply a secondary side effect of having made my choice for the one, single thing.

Insulin.
