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.

Computer.
Toilet paper
And lotion
A fridge and dishwasher! Food safety is such a huge contribution to our health
Outside of my brain and body?
Probably my mobile phone
The doctor.
For almost everyone it's gonna be the phone we're reading this on.
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?
Vibrator.
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.
I used to have a bottle of water but I drank it, so... bed?
Toilet paper 𧻠Very, very useful.
You win.
Me? Unless Iβm excluded, then the laptop. Although the room itself is pretty useful, but I donβt think I consider it βin the roomβ.
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
Weed
Towel warmer.
I'm in my car.
The car.
Same, might say the keys.
The manager likely thinks itβs him, but itβs actually all the workers that do the work.
Me.
Iβm in the ER. Probably the doctor standing directly in front of me.
Phone
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.
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.
Toilet paper
The SCADA servers.
Ominous.
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.
Probably my phone, and that probably applies to most rooms frankly if we're talking about potential things I could need to do
Air. Canβt go more than a minute or two without it, and thereβs enough to share!
Pumpkin spice old fashioned. With real pumpkin puree!
Toilet
Poop, pee, and in a pinch: hand washing and hydration.
Home server.
This computer.
A human being.
Probably my hatchet, first aid kit, and a duffel bag I keep packed with all weather gear and a small tent as well as my headlamp, survival knife, and half a dozen MREs
I'm not even a "collapse is imminent" prepper kinda guy but it's better to be safe than sorry, you never know.
Air freshener.
My phone. It might be my laptop, but it's currently not working. If you consider humans, me.
Coffee
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.
A fucking pistol.
