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.
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.
Probably my hatchet, first aid kit, and a duffel bag I keep packed with all weather gear and a small tent as well as my headlamp, survival knife, and half a dozen MREs
I’m not even a “collapse is imminent” prepper kinda guy but it’s better to be safe than sorry, you never know.
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?
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 🧻 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.
All I’m saying is that I found the extra-restroom utility of TP when I had a sinus infection.
Uh, yeah, but, ACKSHOO-UHLEE you’re both wrong.
The floor, walls, and ceiling of that room provide you with protection from the elements.
Edit:stupid carriage return formatting
For me, at least, the walls and ceiling just trap heat
(10pm w/ fans downstairs used as intake)
You win.
For almost everyone it’s gonna be the phone we’re reading this on.
Me? Unless I’m excluded, then the laptop. Although the room itself is pretty useful, but I don’t think I consider it “in the room”.
Me.
Toilet paper
The SCADA servers.
Ominous.
Outside of my brain and body?
Probably my mobile phone
Phone
Probably my phone, and that probably applies to most rooms frankly if we’re talking about potential things I could need to do
