You get an unlimited supply of a single item to survive post-apocalypse. What are you choosing, and why?

I’m thinking either Bic lighters or cigarettes, just to trade
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.

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

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

Enough gasoline could blow the asteroid up, preventing the whole thing. Forever blocked sun means no food but with gasoline you can power lamps for the plants. Burn gasoline to keep warm against the winter and burn vampires using gasoline. It is a christian invention after all /s
Gasoline doesn't seem like a bad choice tbh. Also good for trading if, for example, water is scarce.
Ah, but the question is "post-apocalypse" so avoiding it isn't really an option. If it were just "slightly pre-apocalypse" you might have a chance to avoid it.

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.

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

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.

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

they have +86upvotes from me, so apparently I agree

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

What an odd thing to say.

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.
