The toilet. Lost count of the number of times this has saved me from getting dysentery or something and it's so convenient when it just pushes the shit away from my house and I never have to see or smell it again. I almost feel bad that I repay it for all its done by repeatedly shitting in it.
I was going to say the paper but you're absolutely right
My wife.
The answer is electricity. It's so useful, we take it for granted. Your phones, computers and laptops are not useful if you can't power them.
I'll give the people on the dunny their due: toilet paper is still useful in a room without electricity.
If you want to go that route I'd say oxygen.
ice machine. gets hot out on the shop floor even with fans going
Not me, that's for damned sure.
Either me or my computer.
gotta be either the tiny computer i'm typing this on, or the large, sturdy, wooden stick in the corner. if i had to pick to keep just one though, it'd be the phone. a sturdy stick has a million and one uses, but it's also fairly easily replaceable.
Toilet paper
And lotion
Computer.
A fridge and dishwasher! Food safety is such a huge contribution to our health
Outside of my brain and body?
Probably my mobile phone
For almost everyone it's gonna be the phone we're reading this on.
Depends on the situation.
Currently? 40 pound box of cake mix I'm probably going to launch at my store manager.
Is it the 40 pound box of cake mix that kills? Or is the person hucking the 40 pound box of cake mix?
The doctor.
My cat. Everything else in my room brings me either misery or a feeling of meh. Cat brings joy, which is difficult for me to obtain.
Vibrator.
Toilet paper 𧻠Very, very useful.
See, if you're in the room I think you're in, I think I would vote for the toilet.
TP actually makes an awesome and really inexpensive kleenex or napkin alternative
Toilets are effective at pushing shit, piss and vomit into the sewer while preventing sewer gases from entering your home, and they also double as chairs when not in excremental use. You can also use a toilet to repair the mental defects of a billionaire if you drop it from high enough, I don't think toilet paper functions in that way.
You win.
Me? Unless Iβm excluded, then the laptop. Although the room itself is pretty useful, but I donβt think I consider it βin the roomβ.
Me.
Weed
My pc but that's too easy so I choose my bed as the very next thing. Good comfortable sleep is important.
The manager likely thinks itβs him, but itβs actually all the workers that do the work.
Phone
Toilet paper
Iβm in the ER. Probably the doctor standing directly in front of me.
Towel warmer.
I used to have a bottle of water but I drank it, so... bed?
Laptop probably. Linux, tmux, i3, vim, GCC, GDB, Pdb, gplaces, links2, curl, wget, netcat, awk, sed... what more could be needed for happiness?
Idunno, but it's preloaded with shittons of tools I don't even know the use of yet (thanks kali). Excluding that probably my lensatic compass. It's nice, quite cheap and not magnetically dampened but it does the job.
Probably my phone, and that probably applies to most rooms frankly if we're talking about potential things I could need to do
My brain, second is my body, third is my laptop
That's a tough one because I'm currently surrounded by computers and tools. I'm within reach of my smart phone, one of my laptops, I'm typing this on my desktop PC, I'm within reach of three multitools, a power drill, and my away mission tool bag. So I think I'll give a cop out answer and go with "The several thousand liters of air filling the room."
Most useful? Without a doubt, my laptop. The amount of things that can be done with a modern computer is pretty stunning, and a portable one is arguably more useful.
Other than that, maybe my car keys because the amount of things you can do with a car is stunning, but you need the keys to start it, and the car isn't in this room.
A human being.
Air. Canβt go more than a minute or two without it, and thereβs enough to share!
Pumpkin spice old fashioned. With real pumpkin puree!
