A microsd card with the plans for a fusion reactor, a step by step manual of how to achieve world peace and utopia, and enough shitcoins and dubious patent claims to overthrow the economy if needed. Plus all the Epstein files, the truth about JFK and all the dirty laundry of all world leaders. Throw in some nuclear access codes of various countries for good measure. Covered in Epoxy. Oh, and I want my whole body to be delivered to my family, stomach contents included.

Hemlock. BOOM! Cheated the hangman and had the last laugh! Edit: Oops. This was a clever way to escape my fate and is not part of the game. In that case, a Burger King Veal Parmigiana sandwich from the 1980's.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

You will definitely get food poisoning if you eat a 45 year old sandwich.

Panda tenderloin and a side of uranium. I'm curious of the flavor of both

Heart of Billionaire x (however many billionaires there currently are)

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago (1 children)

How would you like that prepared?

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 29 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'd like it served as is, fresh from the chest cavity.

A second billionaire's heart

edit: didn't read the first response all the way - let me at the liver first

[–] GalacticSushi@piefed.blahaj.zone 12 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Considering how many drugs some of those billionaires do, I'd suggest skipping on the liver.

Anything on the planet? That's great, let's eradicate some diseases. Give me literally every single deadly virus that's out there in the world right now. With a side of all of the leukemia present in the world to buy everyone some time. Give me my meal in an incinerator, lets go.

I'd also like a whopper or something.

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 32 points 3 days ago (1 children)

1 cubic meter of pure gold, sliced into bite sized cubes, completely enclosed in a nice icing, and not that fondant stuff.

Leftovers are to go to my family.

Jeff bezos roasted in a bronze bull with a pinch of lemon and some butter.

[–] palordrolap@fedia.io 9 points 3 days ago

Ditch the lemon. Pork needs apple sauce.

All the radioactive waste I can carry then launch me into space

A kilo of dried magic mushrooms and a fat bag of mdma. I'm going to be glowing with transcendental joy and tripping the light fantastic. Hopefully I'd get the chair, can you imagine how good electricity would feel in that state?

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 21 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

Often, restrictions require a prisoner to choose foods that are available within the prison system or that cost less than a preset limit. Prisoners are usually denied requests that include alcohol or tobacco products.

RIP to the commenters.

That's why OP specified that it's anything, instead of normal or reasonable rules: to get fun answers.

Big Mac and a glass of Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2099.

Big plate of burnt ends, NY style cheesecake and a bottle of Lagavulin single malt.

Paradox: Request to eat the brain stem of the person who will deliver the killing blow / throw the switch / administer the injection / etc.

If you are then killed by their replacement, then you weren't given what you asked for, contradicting rule 1. If you succeed, rule 2 has been contradicted.

But seriously. It's hard to choose. There was this one pub I visited (with parent) as a child that made the most delicious, dare I say, succulent, miniature pasties. I think I'd like to gorge on those.

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago (2 children)

The executioner plugs the electric chair into a timed wall outlet. In 30 minutes, you will die. You do get revenge on the executioner first though, so that's cool

I'd eat my prosecuting attorney, jokes on him.

Corpse Reviver No. 2 That will be all, thanks.

ANYTHING on the planet? A clump of Bigfoot hair, a Zodiac Killer's leg, and a shot of DB Cooper's blood. Let's solve some fuckin mysteries

Edit: I'll also take a side of whatever killed those campers at Dyatlov Pass, a copy of the holy text of the correct religion, and a camera that captured real footage of an alien

And you can't be executed until you've finished all your spinach?

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

How much spinach are you talking here

I would probably want to smoke crack. Not like I can get hooked and ruin my life if I'm on death row already.

[–] steeznson@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Depending on how you are being executed it might make the lethal injection more prolonged and painful

32 ounces of medium rare ribeye steak, bowl of spaghetti with alfredo sauce, 30 chicken wings (10 buffalo, 10 BBQ and 10 garlic butter), 750 of eagle rare 17 year bourbon, pint of peanut butter ice cream and a 2 liter of Dr. pepper.

[–] kobra@piefed.social 9 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I'm curious about your preference for spaghetti with alfredo sauce. Why not fettuccine?

tbh I think Id be in no mood to actually eat anything, and trying to decide on anything in that circumstance sounds like itd just compound the anxiety , so given that itd be kind of a waste of food and wouldnt be of much comfort, Id probably just turn it down.

[–] fizzle@quokk.au 12 points 3 days ago

Its more for the benefit of your executionists. A fig leaf for their shame.

Diet Pepsi and Mentos. Cabbage and baking soda.

I want my dead body to explode and spread foul smelling shit all over the place.

[–] Suck_on_my_Presence@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

[–] Skunk@jlai.lu 10 points 3 days ago

I want what they are having at the Palais de l’Élysée (the French presidential house).

A huge table of the best of French food made by awesome chefs, from starters to desserts.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Honestly for me, I think I'd want a Berlin gemuse kebab, probably the Mustafa's one (mit käse of course) given I've got a lot of good memories attached to it.

Serve it up with a nice citrusy IPA

Probably finish with a tiramisu made by an Italian nonna

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (2 children)
  • ten pounds of laxative chocolate
  • enough acid and molly to set my brain on fire
  • ipecac capsule as a petit four that can be taken on my way to the execution chamber

I'm going the same way I came. covered in shit, vomiting, and screaming to go back.

Anything with an overdose of any good drug. If I'm dying I'm dying with a bang.

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Just a ton of bacon, egg, potato, and cheese breakfast burritos with some good salsa, a pile of churros, and 100 cans of Juicy IPA.

Edit: Hell, with the state of things right now, give me a guarantee that I would get that as my final meal and I’ll do a crime that’ll get me there.

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 days ago

Salad with cheddar cheese boiled eggs & tomato/oil/vinegar dressing, cut mirchi, beef & mushroom stroganoff, a bunch of apples, and some coffee and buttered cinnamon toast.

[–] UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Badly prepared pufferfish. Checkmate
