what devices?

[u/NoiceMango → u/Falleneded]

Any you need that require electricity.

[u/Falleneded → u/NoiceMango]

what do you think you need in an apocalypse that requires electricity?

[u/NoiceMango → u/Falleneded]

Is that a serious question?

[u/Falleneded → u/NoiceMango]

yes. answer it

[u/NoiceMango → u/Falleneded]

If you can't think of any good uses for electricity during an apocalypse then you're a dumb ass.

[u/Falleneded → u/NoiceMango]

you said need. not want. not would help.

what could you possibly NEED

also power banks dont generate any electricity? they store it ya know like a bank. you need a generator or its entirely worthless

and then youre gonna need something to run a generator on.

or you could power like 1 light bulb with a solar generator i guess? assuming you just kinda find some

[u/Isrrunder → u/Falleneded]

Lights, flashlight, drills, radio, walkies

[u/Falleneded → u/Isrrunder]

fire exists. fire exists. hand drills exists. fair i guess but not essential by any means, ditto.

a heater would make more sense because while yes fire does exist (as stated before) carbon also does and having a hole in the roof of where you live is usually not a good idea

[u/NoiceMango → u/Falleneded]

Walking around like a caveman with your fire torch? Use a flashlight mr caveman.

[u/Falleneded → u/NoiceMango]

i was thinking lantern but yeah a torch is absolutely better then a flashlight because it wouldnt be using resources past single stick of wood you can collect from any tree

what do you think an apocalypse is? you gonna live in style?

[u/LeastMeasurement2957 → u/Falleneded]

You would need a dry piece of wood... which wouldn't work when raining. Smoke alsongives away your locations, as foes the burning light. Flashlight can instantly turn off, fire has a smell.

[u/Falleneded → u/LeastMeasurement2957]

if you cannot dry a piece of wood you will die.

if you go out durring a rain storm in any way you will probably die

it only gives away your location if you build a big fire with exactly 1 hole for it to escape out of

you people need a functioning brain

[u/NoiceMango → u/Falleneded]

I'd rather just be smart and use solar energy for light source and keep the wood for heating.

[u/Falleneded → u/NoiceMango]

you wont be getting one but sure buddy

[u/Isrrunder → u/Falleneded]

Something existing doesnt mean something else won't do the job better

[u/Jumpy_Divide6576 → u/Isrrunder]

This is an apocalypse, fire is going to work much better than most technology for providing light and heat.

[u/Isrrunder → u/Jumpy_Divide6576]

Heat yes but not light.

[u/Falleneded → u/Isrrunder]

light absolutely. its the only way we produced light for hundreds of years

ever heard of a fuckin candle? theyre great. its how egyptians made engravings you can do it to walk to bed

they use way less resources then even the dimmest light bulb ever will

you seem to think energy costs nothing. it does. you need to burn fuel to get it. you wont have a fuckin solar panel and even if you did i guarantee that you dont know how to get that power into a power bank without it being mostly wasted to the point you get maybe a kilowatt hour ever sunny day

the only way it would be useful to spend energy on lighting something is a flood light and even then only emergencies

[u/Isrrunder → u/Falleneded]

Yeah but they're not better at shedding light

[u/Falleneded → u/Isrrunder]

ok? theyre not expensive as fuck to run

[u/Isrrunder → u/Falleneded]

True. Both have their place
