Eepy :3
A dildo.
Good answer :3
I'll bring my book and use it as a dildo.
Full edition of The Lord Of The Rings. No question. It's not even difficult or a hardship. Just a nice long read. Don't even need feeding for that short time.
Username checks out
Except the not eating for 24 hours part
24 hrs of sleep only interrupted by food? Bliss
My laptop. I'll just kick back and play Cataclysm or something for 24 hours.
Nice :3
Just be sure its offline
I'll keep airplane mode on. :)
Oki :3
Steam Deck, hands down. I’d probably spend a decent amount of time just hitting backlog games.
Nice
If there's no furniture, then a bed. If not, a long book.
Thats basically me on a 14h flight. I'f take headphones if I wad allowed to also have my phone. Otherwise, just my phone and listen to music (I have my favorites playlist auto-downloaded at all times).
A pillow.
A guitar with fresh strings. Hopefully the acoustics of the room are good
If they’re good, awesome. If they’re meh, jam on some CCR. Or anything that was released on and most folks first hear on vinyl.
It’s not hard to tweak, it’s not hard to play, and nobody else will ever hear it so if it sounds good to you, in the room, that’s all that matters.
Can hear Lodi bouncing off the limestone now…
Ebook reader, containing locally stored ebooks, audiobooks and music. So you have one small device that has three types of entertainment.
I hope the necesarry headphone isn't the second item when wired.
Ebook reader for me too. It would be hard not to bring my DAP, but that only has a 13 hours battery. My old Kobo, though, has hundreds of books plus some games like solitaire, sudoku and boggle.
Cool :3
Tho batteries aren't a problem, you have power in the room
answer isn't just a fuck ton of food+water
3-3-3 rule of thumb: 3 minutes without air, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food.
Some people can do 5-5-5, but if they weren't going to give you anything... the answer would be: scuba diving gear with 24h worth of air.
Other than that... what are the walls made of? Can I draw on them? Can I carve them out? Can I bring a nice machete, then either draw, carve, or have a stab at decapitating whoever forced me in there? 😈
PS: After a surgery, I've been stuck in a room for 2 months with no internet access. There was a TV on the wall...
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).
A server with a full Internet Archive backup.
Just because they're trying to stop me.
Just don't forget a keyboard and mouse
Why do you need a mouse? All you need is i3wm
No idea what that is, cool tho :3
Tiling windows manager.
Cool
I’ve got a bunch of games and homebrew on my 3ds, so I’d bring that.
Nice :3
a dog. endless entertainment and snuggles.
Until said dog poops in the corner halfway through, then you have 12 more hours of entertainment, snuggles, and smells
i assumed there was a doggy door. ;)
I'm more of a cat person but all floofs are cute
A tiny ass laptop running MX Linux loaded with some old games.
The weird shawl-like thing that am currently bundled up in.
Stretchy enough to cover self if cold, heavy enough to keep light out of eyes, gauzy enough to breathe cooly if draped across face whilst keeping warm & dark, many stitches to count (visually or *tactilely) if thoughts disrupting sleep, calming texture, familiar smell, can create sparkly visual effects to trick brain into checking out if necessary, means of escape if not released, can be worn as dress if released to a cocktail party.
*tactilely: had to go hunting to find this word, as brain was refusing to cooperate, but it seems unfamiliar to me and feels clumsy. Hoped that reading about Braille might turf it up (it did not), but from there found a Wikipedia entry about a device some might find desirable in this 24hr lockup situation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyctography. Seriously though, what is the normal adverb form of tactile?
I'd say your phone is a cheating answer, so probably the Switch, I have a ton of games on there and while Im sometimes not in the mood to read a book or only listen to music, I can usually find a game that id be interested in at any given time
Nah, phone is a legit answer.
I'd take my switch if I didn't have my retroid, switch handheld controls suck
I had to get around it by getting a grip for them, even then I dislike the small travel on the joycon thumb sticks, but third party joy cons are either missing features or are horribly cheap, I've gone through like four sets and they all failed one way or another
Switch handheld mode sucks
Ergonomics are all round awful tbh
