    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_threes_(survival)

    You can survive three minutes without breathable air (unconsciousness), or in icy water.

    You can survive three hours in a harsh environment (extreme heat or cold). You need shelter!

    You can survive three days without drinkable water.

    You can survive three weeks without food. But, many people have gone for over 40 days during fasting and have survived.

      unless something like the simpsons episode where they got trapped on an island, but you could still forage and maybe hunt wild animals. if its a desolate sandy island.

          meat and meat byproducts simply do not exist

          There was an update with a bunch of food items, including sushi, roasted fish, clam chowder etc

          Luncheon Plate Meal and Shio Ramen appear to include ham

          Good point. I think the Luncheon Plate Meal is the one with the sandwich? That does appear to have cold cuts.

          But sushi, roasted fish, and clam chowder are seafood and are considered by some vegans/vegetarians to be okay for whatever reason. I'm not one or the other — I eat meat, and possibly more than most. I'm good with veggies, but I pretty much main protein and avoid carbs and sugar. It's a struggle. Anyway, what I meant was that they don't typically have food made from the kinds of animals that would be your villagers. Oddly there are octopus villagers, so seafood becomes somewhat unethical if you have any.

          Also, glad to see some fellow AC fans on Lemmy. Just need to find a good community.

            If the island has no fresh water, about six days.

            I think we need more info about food, water and shelter.

                    To quote xkcd, "On one hand, every single one of my ancestors going back billions of years has managed to figure it out. On the other hand, that's the mother of all sampling biases."

                    And ok, sure, the more recent ones haven't had to rough it, but if you go back just a few generations you get to someone who actually knows something about something. Still, I think I could suss out at least enough to keep going until I inevitably got injured or sick or mauled by a wild animal.

                    That said, I'm very aware that this might just be unearned and unmerited arrogance, like the guys who say they could take a point off of Serena Williams on the tennis court.

                    If I played a set against Serena there is a decent chance I get one point.

                    She will hit 12 aces/unreturnable serves and 12 return winners. That's going to happen. But during that she could double fault or miss one return. She's not going to be trying that hard, playing me definitely isn't going to put her "in the zone." And my serves will be so weak and pathetic compared to what she's used to that she'll have to generate more pace for those winners than she normally would. I like my chances of one going long or wide.

                    Now, if the question is "could you hit a winner against Serena," lol fuck no.

                      I think the logic there is that on an island, seafood is much more readily available, hence its abundance in the food items. Some of the food items can be cooked using caught fish, harvested veggies etc. You can't go kill Agnes to make pork chops (my wife would riot)
