You're stuck on a desert island...

You have no fresh drinking water. You don't know when help will come. What you do have is a barrel of cooking oil, the sea, and a container to catch your own urine. What do you choose to drink?

And before you smart alecks start thinking about using the urine container as a condenser to separate the salt from the seawater, it's a cold desert island and you have no options for making fire. :P

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

  • If its too cold for fire wouldn't there be ice? I'd use the ice..

  • Urine and seawater will dehydrate me, thus killing me quicker, so I'm just going to have to make Adriana Lima cum and drink that.

  • If it's too cold for a fire, then there must be snow around. I could get water from the snow.

  • I would start a fire the old fashion way and cook the seawater.

  • We can use the cooking oil to cook Piggy. Sucks to his assmar! Yikes, I can't believe I just thought that. I think I'm extra evil today>:/. Oops.

    Edit: I just realised no fire:(. No Piggy tonight.

    • That's it! *blows the conch shell to call a tribal meeting* I vote for restraining bananaface with shackles until her evilometer comes down out of the red zone! :P

      • Good luck with that! Samneric will free me! Hmm, yeah, shackles it is. My evil is starting to scare me:O.

        Oh, and by the way, don't trust the tribe. I do fear they'll be the death of you:O. Mmhmm, first you and then Piggy. Just a bit of advice you might want to follow, it would be such a shame for anyone to accidentally think you were a "beast";P.

        • I too fear the tribe have evil intent for me, even though I've been nothing but nice (ha! This is where he and I diverge). Hmm, it's such a clever book, isn't it? I only read it for the first time a couple of years ago (same with To Kill a Mockingbird). I love them both. If only my parents had given me the middle name Atticus. :D

          • Oh shut up! You aren't that evil (yet>;D), there is no diverging:P.

            Atticus? I haven't read To Kill a Mockingbird yet, unfortunately. Although it is on the list I have:D. And yeah, I love Lord of the Flies too:).

            • I do try to be good. Promise!

              You'd really like To Kill a Mockingbird. I'd be absolutely amazed if you didn't. In strange ways, it reminds me of Lord of the Flies. Pack mentality. I actually feel like I want to re-read both books right now! :D

  • neither of the three. i would drink my blood.
    it's much less gross and probably better for you than urine or seawater. and i need to save the cooking oil for when i catch a nice big swordfish to grill.
    i would definitely look and see if there's any coconuts, so i could drink the milk from them.

  • Why, I would alternate between the three, of course.

  • Urine.

  • Out of the 3 answers available the only one that would be good for the body in terms of hydration would be urine.

    • Not really pee is already prossesed and you would eventually piss blood if drank too many times

    • That's the correct answer, as unpalatable as it sounds.

  • "You're stuck on a desert island"

    No I'm not. I'm sitting in my living room, typing on my notebook.

  • Drink the cooking oil, because it has no other use since it's too cold to make a fire and therefore no way to cook anything with it.

    After that, drink urine. Never drink the seawater, would make you ill.

  • I would just use the seawater, put it in the container,and put it in th esun for a few days for the salt to evaporate. Or dig a big hole into the ground to find water. And for food, catch fishes in the sea.

    • Antarctica is technically a desert.

  • If I drank my own urine then eventually I would pee blood since water is prossesed into pee and pee is already prossesed my body would eventually realize I was drinking pee to many times and I would pee blood so I would drink cooking oil since its to cold to cook anything it is useless and if I drink the seawater I'll either get really ill or die

  • You distil the seawater using a fire made by BURNING THE OIL.
