Ask Lemmy

Genies in a lamp

Fresh, hot pizza from Ray's.

Not fresh at the time of the apocalypse. Fresh at the time I seek it.

Of course that would mean I would also get a steady supply of clean water and of all the ingredients required to make the pizza. But that is simply a secondary side effect of having made my choice for the one, single thing.

Potable water is good, perhaps wheat berries or ibuprofen would be good too.

As for an unorthodox answer, I'm going to say survival guides. Most people have some idea of how they might survive, but it couldn't hurt to have a resource to fill any knowledge gaps.

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.

Condoms, in case we need to repopulate the earth

All you big brains saying water.

My first thought was soybeans, since they're so versatile. Or corn for the same reason. Granted, I don't have any way to process them so I didn't think it through.

But a food source that also provides water would be a good idea. Watermelon is too sweet to be your primary food though.

Goats. Food, friends and defense.

weed

Sorta depends on the apocalypse but for most I will take the airline bottles of a high end vodka.

Drinkable water.

Bottle caps.

Iodized salt. I live in iowa, we have planty of water (i can figure out how to filter it), and a great climate for growing food. However our soilis naturaly low iodine and there is no salt around so those are critical nutriants I don't think I could get here.

second would be iron - we don't have any and It is usefur for a lot.

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

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.

Army MREs, the modern ones.

Assuming I'm not teleported elsewhere, the place I live has plenty of drinkable fresh water and other supplies, so the only real concern is having consistent high-quality food available, and MREs are engineered to support people in the wild for several months, if not years. In case of a major war breaking out, so it would contain everything I would need to stay alive, or to trade to other people.

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

Economy Wonderglue. I've played Fallout 4, I know what you need.

Easy answers first. Potable water! You need it every day, helps with sanitation, growing food, etc.

If you wanted more like discrete consumable objects, keflex.

Edit: Or salt!

Insulin.

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.
