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.
For almost everyone it's gonna be the phone we're reading this on.
The toilet. Lost count of the number of times this has saved me from getting dysentery or something and it's so convenient when it just pushes the shit away from my house and I never have to see or smell it again. I almost feel bad that I repay it for all its done by repeatedly shitting in it.
I was going to say the paper but you're absolutely right
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
And lotion
Toilet paper
Outside of my brain and body?
Probably my mobile phone
The SCADA servers.
Ominous.
A 5gal jug full of water. (I don't have AC and it's 32C/90F inside)
Consume salt! Water on its own isn't great for hydrating when you're continously sweating, Gatorade exists for a reason (to supplement the nutrients lost to sweating, not just the water)
No worries. Gone through 2.5kg(~9lbs) of Gatorade powder, just this summer. LiquidIV got way too expensive after the first box.
The doctor.
That's a tough one because I'm currently surrounded by computers and tools. I'm within reach of my smart phone, one of my laptops, I'm typing this on my desktop PC, I'm within reach of three multitools, a power drill, and my away mission tool bag. So I think I'll give a cop out answer and go with "The several thousand liters of air filling the room."
A human being.
Probably my phone, and that probably applies to most rooms frankly if we're talking about potential things I could need to do
I'm in my car.
The car.
Same, might say the keys.
My wife.
Same! Mine's smart, entertaining, manages my social life, probably contributes more to society than I ever will and on top of that, for reasons that still escape explanation, actually wants to have sex with me which is probably the only reason I never turned into an incel. She is easily the best thing in this house, myself included.
Right there with you. She’s amazing. Plans all our trips. Organizes the kids. Lets me do the things I do best. Perfect travel buddy. To wives!🍻
The manager likely thinks it’s him, but it’s actually all the workers that do the work.
Weed
My phone. It might be my laptop, but it's currently not working. If you consider humans, me.
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.
Air. Can’t go more than a minute or two without it, and there’s enough to share!
Air freshener.
Pumpkin spice old fashioned. With real pumpkin puree!
This computer.
Coffee
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.
Toilet
Poop, pee, and in a pinch: hand washing and hydration.
Towel warmer.
Computer.
Home server.
gotta be either the tiny computer i'm typing this on, or the large, sturdy, wooden stick in the corner. if i had to pick to keep just one though, it'd be the phone. a sturdy stick has a million and one uses, but it's also fairly easily replaceable.
I used to have a bottle of water but I drank it, so... bed?
I'm outside so I'm not sure how to evaluate "the room". My phone is the most immediate at hand (pun intended) useful thing right now though.
My field recorder! Chilling after band practice right now, and being able to clearly listen back to my jams has been invaluable in progressing my musicianship.
My pc but that's too easy so I choose my bed as the very next thing. Good comfortable sleep is important.
My brain, second is my body, third is my laptop
A fridge and dishwasher! Food safety is such a huge contribution to our health
ice machine. gets hot out on the shop floor even with fans going
Not me, that's for damned sure.
