You are going to be stuck in a room for 24 hours with no internet access and you can bring one item, what do you bring? (self.askbeehaw)

Food, water and electricity will be provided so the answer isn't just a fuck ton of food+water

I'd bring my retroid, have a fuck ton of games on it, would prolly spend a while playing xmen vs street fighter

Its just a stone room, you are not in any danger

If you can break limestone bricks go ahead. The point of the question is how would you spend 24 hours lol

Well, then I'm in the smartphone/laptop camp.

Preloaded with either the Wikipedia via Kiwix, or a few dozen GB of Project Gutenberg, and some software/apps for writing, drawing, math, coding, etc.

Give me a place to sleep, air, water, food, meds, a toilet, maybe a change of clothes from time to time, plus stuff to read, learn, and experiment with, and I could easily stay in a room "off the internet" for waaaay longer than 24 hours. Probably closer to a year... or ten.

Some time in the future, I'd probably say portable VR computer (bonus for no internet, so no ads, and no tracking).
