Say you're about to leave earth

[top]

You can only take 3 momentos with you on the irreversible journey into space to find the next habitable planet or whatever space story you wanna throw here.
Here it comes...
What would you take?
Why?
Also you weren't really allowed to bring anything but you smuggled your precious cargo, but... How did you do it?
(Your choices are limited to what you can afford at this moment and what you own)

What - 1. picture of mom
2. an iPod classic(7th gen)
3. an English copy of War and Peace.

Why - 1. cuz I wub my mommy
2. I'd pack it full of music and porn.. maybe a movie
3. Never read it and having somethin to read on a long space journey would be crucial IMO.

How - 1. I'm sure wrapping it in plastic and putting it in my bhole would suffice.
2. Same as 1... Would really suck though.
3. Befriend the right people to help me smuggle it or bribe the right person with some sort of incentive.. maybe let them listen to music sometimes or watch porn lol

Re: Say you're about to leave earth

1. Momma's Boy
2. What do you do when the iPod dies?
3. I'd pick something longer imo.

Edit: I guess I should actually pick some things

What:
1. An iPhone filled with videos/books
2. An iPhone charger
3. A Genie Lamp

Why:
1. Entertainment purposes
2. To keep my entertainment going.
3. To have a way to get more things

How:
1. I already have one, won't be hard to get
2. Same as 1
3. You didn't specifically state it had to be REAL items, just items. So I'm sure I could find a genie lamp at a shady garage sale, just like on TV

If he can do an iPod, then an iPhone should be fair game mang.

Re: Say you're about to leave earth

What:
1. My cellphone
2. A penis
3. Lots of chips

Why:
1. Music, games, voice recorder for audio logs, call my dead friends
2. When the cellphone battery runs out
3. I get hungry in space

How:
1. Up my ass
2. It'd just be my own penis so I'd be fine!
3. Now that's a bit more complex. I'd but it on my abdomen and pretend I'm fat and crispy

Re: Say you're about to leave earth

A gun

Because it's lonely out in space.

And there's no wi-fi.

How could you possibly live anywhere with no internet connection

Re: Say you're about to leave earth

Lets get theoretical here.. Would the battery ever actually run out? Since space is a vacuum, the battery has to get hot and let off charge... Wouldn't the battery just never drain at all?

I'd probably bring like:

1. a laptop

2. a hard drive containing an archive of the entire Internet (or at least the useful public stuff, dank memes etc - imagine a dump of the entire reddit site, dump of forums... probably a couple tbs, honestly you could spend years on reading FFR archives etc), and every stepmania song or something. (Anything is available if you know how to get it... Best start dumpin now, I'm sure there's stuff you can download from archive.org etc)

3. Best keyboard I could find, something I could ideally swap keys on and repair the switches, or it wouldn't last long enough.

Why:
After reading that back, I was feeling the old deserted island sort of thing, like you are in isolation and need 3 things to keep you occupied... I wanted to become a reading machine, reading entire library archives and shit while becoming a stepmania king.

I dunno though if we are just repopulating I wouldn't bring shit, cause who cares about people

How:
No one suspects the regular old hard drive is really like 10k terabytes, they let me bring it in cause they think its a just a regular pc, otherwise just mask the contents and make it look like its family photos. Hell, someone else probably already has it and there will be some underground p2p network in space that sells porn n shit lol

Re: Say you're about to leave earth

i have a translated war and peace that i'm reading atm and a russian to english (and english to russian) dictionary

so if you can find a russian war and peace (probably better for translations' sake) and you can convince whatever spawn of satan that's shooting you into space with just three items to take a fourth, i'd say that's your better option

Re: Say you're about to leave earth

I'm sure being on a fuckin rocket with tons of electrical equipment would allow me to somehow figure out a way to charge the damned iPod.
I need music.

Is this a legit question ahahaha omfg

[Red Blaster]

Re: Say you're about to leave earth

The what:
1. A fleshlight
2. Books on botany/horticulture
3. Some form of music storage and playback device and the means of keeping it operational.

The why:
1. Kinda obvious, but I'm gonna need something a little more substantial than my hand.
2. When/if I get where I'm going I'm going to need to know how to grow plants for various uses, so I figured it'd be the most useful subject to study in the meantime.
3. Cant travel across the universe and not bring sweet tunes.

The how:
1. Probably stash it in my pants
2. I honestly don't know, I'd assume the people behind the mission would just allow me to bring books.
3. Break into the rocket the night before launch and hide it somewhere not obvious

Re: Say you're about to leave earth

What
1: my camera
2: ukulele (I'd rather bring my guitar but that would probably hold me down)
3: an ipod

Why
1: cos I like to take photos duh
2: I can easily kill 8 hours plus playing an instrument, and would hate to forget how to play / lose skill in it
3: because, music.

How
1: surely I'd be able to bring it / look touristy enough that it just looked apart of me
2: maybe I'd be able to serenade someone / something into getting it there
3: shove it in my bra
