1 year in a room- what to bring?

-Eliza Dushku

-Eliza Dushku

I don't understand what either of those words mean.

They mean "Pure hotness."

 

[Harold Saxon]

They mean "Pure hotness."

I think you're confusing "Eliza Dushku" with "Summer Glau" - which truly does mean "pure hotness."

 

[Aleksei]

Nah, it's just in a different language.

 

[ObeyBunny]

i'd rather someone else make the list and especially the calculations first. then i'd go through it and make suggestions. if i had to spend a year in a room i think some of the things you listed in the OP would be unnecessary and i'd probably replace them with something else.

It's a good idea to let someone else calorie-count for the food you and your family would be eating. Pretty much the only information you’d have to offer is what your height is, what your weight is, and what your age is.

(So for example, a 130 pound 20 year old man who stands at 5 feet 5 inches needs 1522 calories a day to maintain his current weight [granted he’s not burning calories though exercise])

You can have your survival rations planned down to the calorie without you yourself lifting a finger.

The only thing I suggest you do beyond this would be to tell the person who is drafting up this massive grocery list what you and your family likes to eat. If you absolutely hate pinto beans and any food that was made with them, then tell the person who is shopping for you not to get 50 pounds of pinto beans.

Other than those two things, it’s a pretty good idea to have someone else figure things up while you are busy with work or school.

So I should hire a beautiful, big breasted woman to keep me company for my year long stay? Okay. Just so long as she leaves the gun behind.

---edit
Wait no, I'm a girl. I'd rather have a handsome brad shouldered doctor with curly red hair and a flowing doctor’s coat spend a year with me. That would be AWESOME!

Sure, I was just mentioning what I'd bring, myself.

 

[Laurie]

I thought someone was taking their one year old on a trip and wanted to know what to bring. I finally just clicked on the thread, I'm like.. who needs all that crap for a 1 year old??

Reading comprehension FTW.

 

[erm]

If internet isn't viable, I assume?

Well considering I've already spent months without human contact and barely noticed, I think I'd be okay going in by myself.

I already spend a large portion of my mental energy training myself to be perpetually happy regardless of circumstances, as well as other types of mental shaping and training. That is what would shape my perceptions of this event.

As such, I'd take whatever would give me a good balanced diet, with exercise, throughout the year. Exercise would be things like jump rope and free weights.

Anything for toiletry and smell reducing requirements, since hygiene won't matter too much beyond dental health. Antibiotics and such for basic health maintenance, especially considering exercise. Waste disposal in general would be nice, if possible. Lighting would be important, if not provided already. I've heard there's some efficient lighting out there.

Clothes don't seem necessary, depending on the temperature, though shoes could be important. A few sets of minimalistic bedding.

The other things would be backups in case of impending insanity. Simple entertainment like fiction books, decoration, porn, computer games (think DS games with a supply of batteries), stuff to draw with, puzzles, lego etc.

I imagine I would spend a huge amount of time writing my own books, introspecting, meditating, exercising, eating, reading non-fiction, and sleeping. Not too much else required.

I just psyched myself up for a fictional event

 

[prplchknz]

drugs lots of drugs and books and notebooks

and i suppose food and water might be nice.

 

[Chunes]

Baby formula incase anybody gets pregnant, or has a baby (room mates go with you, remember?)

Heh. With no privacy.

 

[Valiant]

Eliza Dushku? Seriously?
I have something against incredibly hairy women from an aesthetic point of view, so i'd go for a beauty that won't disappear underneath the Sherwood Forest after a couple of days in the box.

Actually, i'd not take anyone with me into the box. It'd be a nice break from the drama.
Or, well... It'd have to be someone equally introverted and not at all dramatic... Someone I could discuss things with on an equal basis.
I'm sick of teaching the basics to people all the time. "What's the Napoleonic Wars? Never heard of it... " etc.
If I was gay, I would snatch Peguy with me.
And Amargith would go BONKERS after a while, being a rampant extrovert... Too bad

No, Amargith wouldn't be there, as she'd rather take her own life than to live in a box, even with an NTJ (seriously, I will kill my SO or myself after the 7th day of being stuck between four walls together!)

Don't waste that excitment, follow these steps.

1. Build or find a well ventilated room with an oppressive gray color scheme.
   -
2. Figure out the foods you are going to take with you, as well as gym equipment, porn magazines, coloring books, giant Lego blocks, and anything else you’d need for entertainment and survival.
   -
3. Quit your job, inform the press of what you are about to do so that you can get a sponsor (people who are willing to pay you for each month you stay in there without dieing or trying to escape) so that you can return to the outside world with a good sum of money to play with,
   -
4. Write a book while you’re in there detailing the “horrors” of being alone (pretend it’s scary) so that you can earn even more money from book sales and sympathy donations.
   -
5. Use that money to build yourself a well ventilated room with an oppressive gray color scheme.

This:

One matter-energy-matter converter. (Converts matter into energy, then recompresses the energy back into matter, into anything you choose. Understands complex requests, such as a sandwich, a book, etc.)

One tennis-ball sized mass of Neutronium (A bunch of Neutrons stuck together, without the empty space), completely gravity-neutral, suspended in mid-air for siphoning off of by the matter-energy-matter converter.


Sure, I'm not being realistic. But you asked what I would bring, and, If I had it, I would bring it.

One paper clip

One paper clip

You would use that paper clip to shave off dust particals from the walls. You would eat the dust and maybe survive a week.

Hey, this is what I was talking about!
