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
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

Dang it, genie tricked me again

Nanobots!

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 lactose intolerant… but damn if you didn’t sell me on this OP

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.

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.

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.

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.
