You get an unlimited supply of a single item to survive post-apocalypse. What are you choosing, and why?
-
Toilet paper. During apocalyptic scenarios, it's worth is apparently uncountable, so I will be able to trade it and live a life of opulence.
wrote last edited by [email protected]I recommend you consider baby wipes and invest in an apocalyptic marketing campaign that praises the variety of usages in face, neck, armpit, crotch and butt wiping.

If you are going that route: Rule of 3
3 minutes without oxygen. 3 days without water. 3 weeks without food (I think it is also "3 hours without shelter" but that is a much more environmental factor and feels shoehorned in). And, depending on the apocalypse, clean air can be hard to come by.
I've heard it phrased "3 hours without shelter in inclement weather".

You where the problem lol
And a bad problem. If you are panic buying anything for the apocalypse, you're not prepared for the apocalypse. I have a "minimum" amount of TP I'll let the house get down to before buying more. My partner is a teacher and so during the winter months when we're both not home we go through it at a glacial pace. We had plenty to last even when we were wfh. Never worried.

In the zombie variation, might want to cheat the system and ask for loaded guns. Because guns wear out and get jammed sometimes.
Smart move

I’m thinking either Bic lighters or cigarettes, just to trade
Hugs from a nice person. The apocalypse is going to be really depressing I'll need the love

Okay, and this is why we burn heretics

Along those lines antibiotics would be better.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Yeah, obviously need the first that that will kill you. We take breathable air for granted. But if you need an infinite supply of clean air, you are probably dead anyway.
An infinite supply of water has many uses beyond drinking and hygine -- irrigation, power, and cooling come to mind as very useful post-apocalypse. -

Insulin.

We're putting Gatorade on the crops and they don't grow. Ground is broken!
But it's got what plants crave!

thank you for being on this platform and being so positive. I enjoy seeing your posts and they somehow give me motivation to keep my chin up and be more outgoing with someone I recently met at the dog park who's acting curiously shy and different from most people.

That's a lovely thing to say Fiivemacs thanks so much

Even modern MRE’s only provide stable nutrition for about three weeks— they don’t provide complete nutrition. After that, you need to supplement it with other nutritional sources.
I mean, they are chock full of all sorts of preservatives to extend their shelf life, but they also have things like toilet paper and wipes, spoons and forks, heating pads, and various other things, and they can be eaten cold if there's some reason not to start a fire.
That being said, you can live a very long life eating only MREs. It's not like if you only ate them for three weeks you would die. You might have some malnourishment, and you might desperately long for something else, but it wouldn't be the nutrition issue that would kill you. They are designed to keep people alive in situations where bullets are an occupational hazard.
But if I have an infinite supply of them and they are fresh, then when I encounter people that are starving I can trade it to them for bullets or knives or I can just give them away. Could probably save a lot of lives by being a food producer capable of keeping people alive.
The largest risk I would face would be growing tired of the assortment.

Just use water.
You expect the guy who bought cases of toilet paper to worry about wasting it?

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?

I'm diabetic. I choose insulin.

Drinkable water.

Goats. Food, friends and defense.
