    You should've said pancakes because then username would check out

    Gin is correct, because there's no such thing as too many pancakes.

      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.

        How about "fully staffed, fully functional nuclear reactors"? All the staff could come in handy for rebuilding like everything

          I second the sentiment. You and other frequent posters of delightful posts help this place to feel more like a community. It's also nice because you make me reflect on my own online presence in a manner that provides a positive pressure to be the kind of person I value in my community; I see usernames like yours crop up again and again, and when I find myself noticing that organically, it makes me wonder what kinds of patterns people notice across my own comments — it's introspective, but in a good way

                Antibiotics.

                We all would die so quickly and horribly without them.

                                  If it's a gigantic asteroid that blots out the sun, water is easy to find but food is critical.

                                  Well, no, (liquid) water would be quite scarce 😛

                                  And still, only a small amount of water on Earth is actually drinkable.
