1. computer+monitor
2. internet
3. pen and paper
4. 30 books
5. kitchen
6. 2 dishes of whatever
7. japanese girl
8. hot water
9. garden
10. booze

I figure I can keep myself entertained with the computer+interbutts, books, cooking, growing stuff in the garden, swimming/other bodyweight exercises, teaching the japanese girl English, and the japanese girl.

Also booze.

 

Interesting. The people choices can be ruled out at once. Human companionship would be nice for me, but I would never subject another person to that situation. It would only ever be considered if the person entered the arrangement of his or her own volition and had the option to leave at any time if he or she so chooses.

So, my choices.

- The pizzas. I'd get really tired of eating it I'm sure, but at least it can be varied up a bit with toppings and would be better than gruel (and more than enough to keep my stomach full). Three a day is a bit excessive though. I'd probably end up wasting a lot of it.

- Computer, obviously. Of course, after ten years said computer would probably be too antiquated to run most things I'd want to do with it, to say nothing of the fact that one bad run-in with a virus or other malware could ruin it for good. Still worth those risks though considering all the advantages it provides.

- Internet. With that and the above, I can keep myself entertained (games, reading online books and manga, keeping up with the news, streaming, communicating with other people via chat and e-mail and so on...). The 3 GB cap sucks though.

- The yard and pool. I'm not an outdoor person by nature, but even I would have to go outside once in awhile to have any hope of remaining sane. Plus, it would be needed to take proper care of...

- The puppy, hopefully provided that the animal also comes with the means to feed it. As long as it can go outside to run about and do its business I see no reason why it would be inhumane to have it.

- The phone. Keeping in touch with loved ones would be important, as would being able to hear their voices.

- Books. Backup sanity option in case something bad were to happen to the computer. Chose this over the television because I don't ever watch TV even now aside from NFL games and Sons of Anarchy. Also considering the internet cap, I'll probably need another means of passing time regardless.

- The kitchen. Got to keep the pizza warm after all, plus occasional variety in meal choices (would never be able to get by on just 100 dollars in food a month, hence the pizzas). Also would have to prepare something for the dog to eat if dog food doesn't come with it. Food spoilage would probably become a serious issue though, as most things one would need to store in the icebox aren't going to keep for a month.

- Hot water heater. A must. Gotta have a hot shower, no question.

And that leaves me with number 10, the one I absolutely would have to have.

- The guns. There's no doubt in my mind I would end up taking the suicide option if cut off from all human contact for ten years. Hopefully I could send the dog to my family or at least give it up for adoption at that point. There are other ways to accomplish the deed that would let me pick another luxury, but if I'm going out I want it to be quick and painless.

 

1. Computer and monitor
2. Internet

Most entertainment I get from the internet via my laptop these days, so computer and internet are definitely a must.

3. Blond, 22 year old, white girl

I would go crazy without human contact for 10 years so good company is definitely also important.

4. Garden

To be able to go outside is what is counting here, not really the pool or the garden, though both would be really nice to have. Would still choose this if I were allowed outside once every day.

5. Water heater
6. Two dishes a day

These two are luxuries but important ones, and I would probably go crazy without these ass well.

7. Fridge and oven
8. Punching bag
9. The weed.
10. Pen and Paper

These last four would be nice ass well, the fridge and oven with food is a nice addition to a boring diet. The punching bag for workout besides doing stretches etc. The weed for relaxation. The Pen and Paper is my only choice that I am not sure about, maybe art or books instead.

 

Items/Luxuries.
- a hot water heater.
- a 19" monitor and a computer that is worth up to $2000.
- a high-speed internet modem, capped at 3 GB per month.
- your choice of 30 books. You have the option to exchange books every three months.
- a complete kitchen, including an oven, microwave, and refrigerator. The refrigerator is restocked with $100 worth of food on a monthly basis.
- 2 dishes of whatever meal you desire per day, provided that the weight of the meal does not exceed two pounds.
- a German Shepard puppy, responding to "Boxxy".
- the latest generation of Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo video game consoles, without any games.
- your choice of 5 video games. They can be exchanged with other games once per month, but you can only have a total of five.
- a small yard, complete with garden and swimming pool.

Explanations of why
- Hot water is a must. I went a year without about six years ago and it was a miserable experience of cold showers or heating up pots of boiling water on the stovetop.

- Computer and modem allows for outside interaction with the world, allows me to write, and browse porn as needed. I'm assuming the computer worth two grand is going to hold far more than the eight hundred or so dollar one I'm actually using, so saving files to view later if the 3 GB are used up isn't a problem.

- Books are a must of life. With 30 exchangeable every three months, I'm more than good at the current rate of reading.

- The stocked kitchen is only going to do so well for so long. A hundred dollars a month is piss in the sea unless one is shopping in vegetables and other long-lasting/multiuse foods. I could do it, perhaps, but not happily. But two people? Not going to happen.

- The additional two meals will help to supplement whatever I make for the day/night, plus a little extra for the gruel that will go to Boxxy.

- Boxxy provides the companionship and helps to combat the loneliness of only speaking to the internet.

- Consoles to rock some Nuzlocke runs on B/W/2/Next two Pokemon generations/Brawl/other in spare time.

- Yard allows Boxxy a place to roam and keep entertained as well, not to mention dumping that shit outside of the "living room". Trust me, the smell alone is worth this addition. The swimming pool also allows for some gesture of exercise.

 

1. Computer
2. Internet
3. Phone

The phone primarily to act as a second source of internet. Assuming a standard plan of 2GB per month, I can use that to peruse the web (minus youtube) without any problems. Let's me use the 3GB for the computer purely for downloading, youtube, and manga (because reading manga on a smartphone is a bitch).

4. Video games

I mostly play PC games, so getting the consoles wold be pointless for me.

5. Garden and pool
6. Boxxy

Animals are better companions than humans, and to get the dog without the yard for it to frolic (and poop) in would be stupid. Also, the pool comes with a human to chat with. Probably a 20-something asshat, but whatever.

7. Pen and paper
8. The Japanese girl
9. The blonde girl

The Japanese girl could easily learn English in ten years, and since the blonde girl speaks three languages, she'd be an excellent teacher. Intelligent conversation is not something I'd want to pass up either. They also bring my total human count up to three, just enough people to play some RPG's and boardgames (made from my paper stock) when everyone gets bored.

10. 2 plates of food

Fuck gruel, I want to eat good things.

 

It was a bit sad to realize that the ten choices is more stuff than what I use daily. I'd have no problem at all with choosing just 6, 10 is just luxury.

 

1- a 19" monitor and a computer that is worth up to $2000
2- a high-speed internet modem, capped at 3 GB per month.

With these I'm pretty much covered for any tv/movies I want to watch so there's no need for a television or dvds (it will be a pain in the ass to have to stream/download everything and keeping under the cap but its a minor miscomfort)

3- the latest generation of Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo video game consoles, without any games.
4- your choice of 5 video games. They can be exchanged with other games once per month, but you can only have a total of five.
5- a complete kitchen, including an oven, microwave, and refrigerator. The refridgerator is restocked with $100 worth of food on a monthly basis.
6- 2 dishes of whatever meal you desire per day, provided that the weight of the meal does not exceed two pounds.
7- a small yard, complete with garden and swimming pool.
8- fashion model Tyra Banks
9- 1 ounce of quality marijuana, 60 pack of papers, 1 generic lighter. Replaced monthly.
10- 30 MDMA tablets and 30 LSD doses, replaced monthly.

this sounds like a fantastic time. Might get a bit old after the first few years but fuck it

 

These kind of things show up all the time on 4chan (or, at least, I assume they do, since there's always one there, the once or twice a month I drop by).

Often, though, they are...

• Usually some sort of zombie survival scenario.
• Separated into categories, so your post number decides which items you get, meaning there's no real psychology aspect to it.

It can be pretty amusing to see the results, though. On the other hand, I'd rather not be stuck on an island of zombies and have to rely on rollerblades for transportation.

 

I think being able to choose ten is far too many, lol. I can have everything I want and more besides...

- Heated water
- Kitchen

That brings the place up to a modern standard of living.

- Computer
- Internet
- 30 books

That pretty much fulfills all my normal entertainment needs.

- TV, because my net is capped so I can't download TV.

Companionship:

- Dog
- 22 year old multilingual blonde female Caucasian.

Wasn't sure about the girl - what if she uses all my internet? But she can teach me languages. And I suppose I would get lonely, otherwise.

That leaves...

Exercise:

- Small yard and pool (would choose a running machine, but it's not an option. Also, the sunlight would be nice).

A luxury:

- Paper and pen.

Considered the pizza, but I can make my own with the kitchen. Also, if I got 3 pizzas a day, I'd be far too tempted to eat them all lol.

 

Hmm, let's see:

- a complete kitchen, including an oven, microwave, and refrigerator. The refridgerator is restocked with $100 worth of food on a monthly basis

- 2 dishes of whatever meal you desire per day, provided that the weight of the meal does not exceed two pounds.

Seems obvious, something varied to eat and stuff likes snacks and sandwiches other stuff for in-between.

- a hot water heater

yeah, hot water is a must.

- a small yard, complete with garden and swimming pool.

The option to go out and swim is just too valuable to pass up.

- a 19" monitor and a computer that is worth up to $2000

- a high-speed internet modem, capped at 3 GB per month.

Yeah, pc and internet are going to be the most important tools to keep boredom and insanity away. Plus they offer communication via skype, emails and whatnot.

- the latest generation of Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo video game consoles, without any games.

- your choice of 5 video games. They can be exchanged with other games once per month, but you can only have a total of five.

- a 50" state-of-the-art television with 100 channels of your choice. It cannot be used as an external display for

Well, you would have nothing but time on your hands, so having real videogames outside of the few that you could download with your 3G limit seems sensible to me.


Now, it was either books or the tv/movie deal but I figure, books are easier to purchase and download within the download limit, so, I am going to pick

- your choice of 10 movies or TV boxsets, with the option to exchange them once per month. Necessary equipment for playing the discs is included.

Wouldn't pick a person. Not only would it be inhuman, selfish and cruel to doom someone to spend 10 years in close space with someone they don't know, in rather unsatisfying manners, remember, you don't get extra beds and the like or extra food, that person would most likely hate your guts for doing this to him/her and rightfully so. Stockholm-syndrome might kick in at some time but hoping for that seems kind of sick.

 

You guys have such low self-esteem.

I, unlike all of you, am well aware of what a privilege it would be to get to spend 10 years with me.

 

Ever seen Old Boy?

Yeah. Fuck all that stuff, all I need is a wall to punch and a metal chopstick to escape with.

 

Mozart, Newton, Clemens, Feynman, Sasha Grey, Tyra Banks, The Korean Woman, Tesla, LSD, Three Pizzas.

Because if I've got ten years in a prison, I want to watch history's geniuses and three semi-random women fight on acid.

 

Computer Rig (duh)

Internet (Duh)

Movies or TV Box Sets (watchable on the PC with any sort of modern blu-ray/DVD player).

Marijuana (Something to expand the mind for times of reflection and to make things more hilarious during entertainment periods.)

Hot Water (MUST Oh lord it's a must. I'm not NOT taking a shower for 10 years. )

Video Games (Make them PC Games, since it's not stated they're Console-Only games.)

Yard and Pool (Sunlight, fresh air, and a place to swim/exercise? Yes please.)

Puppy (Gotta have a dog, bro.)

Complete Kitchen (Teach myself to cook via the internet.)

Japanese Schoolgirl (Teach her English by downloading a copy of Rosetta Stone and picking up the Japanese and English language packs.)

 

Nothing surprising.

- a 50" state-of-the-art television with 100 channels of your choice. It cannot be used as an external display for

- a 19" monitor and a computer that is worth up to $2000

Odd that you only get 100 pieces of paper to write on a month, but 60 packs of rolling papers?

In order of how much I want them.

The rest are just minor in my opinion. The LSD or the games, since both serve the purpose of wasting my time. Skip all the celebrities, since I wouldn't want to be near anyone for ten years straight unless they were pretty much a servant (which I assume the Korean woman is like). If I can't store anything on my computer's hard drive, then I'd take books, but otherwise I don't see why paper books would be preferable. Should've put someone like Ghandi in place of one of the authors.

The garden is an odd choice. Does that mean that I can go outside? What's the point of being locked up for ten years if you're able to go into the backyard? Either way, I only picked it so I could grow some plants. Maybe I can slip the pizza boy a few grams of weed/pills and get him to bring me vegetable seeds. What's the point of getting a gun without bullets? Trick Mark Twain into a shoot out and kill him?

I think this would've been better if there were costs on everything, and you had a price limit. As it is it's just 'pick the 7 you want and then 3 things you wouldn't mind'.
