Ask Lemmy

The tap, it generates water out of the void

Me. I’m competent as fuck.

The bidet.

Me

Probably the walls. Without them, the ceiling would collapse and everything in the room would be useless.

My glasses, my eyes are completely fucked so I really can't do anything without them.

My phone. A Pixel 6a with GrapheneOS.

I actually use my tablet with a logitech keyboard and trackball more but the phone can do things the tablet can't.

Definitely not me.

Standing on the bus stop, so, uh the road? But that wouldn't be useful without the buildings and all the activities in them that bring people here. Or since the room could be considered the general "outdoors", oxygen, or stuff like that.

Also now I'm in the bus, so the driver.

Gonna go with the floor. It really ties the whole room together.

My laptop & phone

Toothbrush

The chances of the most useful thing in the room being my phone is pretty high no matter what room I am in, since my phone is usually in my pocket and also modern phones are one of the most useful tools in existence.

Depends on purpose. We’re complex creatures. Sometimes we need food. Sometimes we need to stay warm. sometimes we need to battle the dark thoughts in our head.

Myself. none of the other things would do anything without me.

I'm out in a gazebo with nothing around me, so probably the sleeveless argyle sweater which is doing a better job keeping me warm than my blouse/skirt.

Toilet paper

My wife.

Antibiotics.

My computer. It was the most expensive one in the store when I bought it, and besides a not so great wi-fi adapter and ageing HDD's, this computer's been amazing for gaming sessions! The only physical console I've touched in years has been the Nintendo Switch due to the exclusives.

Myself. Which I see as a sign that I need better stuff. I am a low bar.

Alcohol

I'm cleaning my basement, so I'm surrounded by tools, warm winter clothes and blankets, and bicycles.

But probably the smartphone in my hand.

I'm rocking in a hammock in my backyard, while the portal solar panel I got for camping charges my bike battery. The sun is definitely the most useful thing right now, giving me next week's commute!

Probably the ladder with 6 rungs, about 2m long.

me.

nobody else in here. and there aren't any other tools around.

(self-burn. the rarest of burns)

These little USB light bulb things.. They were like a nickel each and I use them with my power banks and when I just need a light

Depends what you want to do.

Want to sit? The chairs. Want to see? The lights. Want to not fall under the building? The floor. Want to get out? The door. Want to swim? The pool. Want to get out of the pool? The ladder. Want to get changed? The changing room. Want to warm the room? The heater.

Uhhhh. Probably the fridge. Maybe the microwave/oven combi, but the microwave no longer works so it's a bit less useful. If you purely look at the basics of survival then those would probably do it. Maybe the heaters, because surviving in a cold room is also pretty shit.

You could also argue that the smartphone I'm typing this on or the laptop are the most useful. It really comes down to semantics of "useful".

My 3d printer.

I'm in the kitchen with my teenage daughter, so maybe the fridge?..

Why do you keep posting the same question in different communities?

I'm in my car so, probably my car.
