Put that back where you got it.
I mean one of them already likes eating poop so canine centipede it is!
Living beings != things
It already happened to me. The flames of a wind-fueled brush fire were already caressing the house, the roaring noise woke me up.
I ran out of the house in boxer shorts and holding my cats on each arm. Screw the car and wallet and computer, it was the cats.
Then a water line that ran behind the house burst, and drenched the entire place, extinguishing the flames and saving the house, and with barely any damage, only superficial, cosmetic. It felt like a one-in-a-million thing, but the configuration of physical elements and the sequence of events made it inevitable.
The place did stink of smoke for several days, though. Then random whiffs of charred odor kept on popping in and out for weeks.

I save my cat! All of my other shit can be replaced.
My cat. He may be a total asshole, but still my number one top priority. Everything else can be replaced in one way or another.
Reallisticaly nothing more that myself. My PC is wired and heavy, and what else matter? Guess depends how fast is burning the house, give me 10 minutes and I will save mine computer with even monitor.
My computer, a lot of files on there I don't want to lose. I have them backed up to other hard drives, but in the same computer. So I need to save the computer.
Dude. A backup in the same computer is not a "backup". You should have a separate network attached storage (nas) and a script like syncthing backing up to a different hard drive (the nas). If you don't want to do it yourself, you can buy a all in one device that has the software and hard drive all in one.
If you are not saving things to a remote location, you will lose all your shit in a flood or fire. Remote storage has gotten cheap enough to make it practical.
Hetzner storage boxes cost 3.8€/month for 1TB, which is more than enough for the important things people have.
Backblaze is 70$/year for unlimited data.
you will lose all your shit in a flood or fire.
That's why I'm saving my computer as my one thing. ;)
My dog
I'd save this guy's dog too
I guess grabbing the fire safe would be a waste of an item, but that’s where I keep all the stuff that needs to survive a fire…
…so maybe a bottle of water from the fridge? For me; not the fire.
My daughter
But what about your gaming computer.
My Cat!
Myself?
What about your giant purple dildo?!
What?
At this point it's basically part of myself, inseparable, so does that still count?
Hey man gotta have your priorities straight 😎
Server rack lol
Assuming kids and wife are safe out there, my american elite autumn blaze Telecaster.
Been there, done that. House caught on fire due to a fauly wood stove. We got our cats out, everything else could be replaced.
Can my cat get out on her own? If not, then my cat. If she's fine, next up is a bag that contains my documents including passport, some cash, etc.
I hope that's not about any person anymore and everyone is saved now. Now the one thing I'd save will probably be my diary w That has everything from my financial planning to everything i need to do for next 15 years to the passwords of my google and other accounts.
In the last few years, I've realised that there's nothing can matters more than your family and the people close to you (tho my relationship with my family especially my parents/or just my dad has been awful and terribly uncomfortable). It can at a time get to the point where you think that anything would matter more than these guys (ur parents) and although you sometimes feel like what they do for you is just so much and the next day u forget that. But it does get to a state where you're accepting that you're parents are humans, just like you, not superheroes. So it really helps having some empathy and putting yourself in their situations considering their life is no less significant than anyone's including you. sorry for including my traumatic experience and recovery in a fricking simple question's answer

How come nobody said passport?
I'll have a much easier time replacing a passport compared to various certifications, people regularly lose their passport and there is a cost associated of 60 Euros.
The last time I lost my drivers license, I had to provide a passport, and the last time I lost my passport, I had to provide a drivers license or travel passport. I dont think it's that easy if you have 0 authentication of your person left.
