Knowing how strong and smart I am I’m going to guess about three hours.
Assuming it’s a tropical island, I think I’d do well enough.
If it’s of any size at all, there will be fresh water, and in any case, it will fall from the sky soon enough.
Even if there’s nothing to eat on the land, unlikely, there’s plenty in the sea.
Making fire would be my first and most difficult chore. Even guys that are practiced struggle, but if our ass is on line, it’s amazing what we humans can get done.
Much depends on what gear I have when I get there. Not having any sort of knife would be hell. Having cloth is a big deal.
I’ve got rudimentary survival skills that could keep me alive in the wilderness on the NA continent. But in a resource-limited island, it would depend on what’s available. Beyond that, this question is too open-ended to answer.
At most until my medication runs out. From then on, it’s going down the drain…
Idk, I don’t like bugs lol
I always have a lighter so I could make fire, I can forage and fish and trap if I have to, and I’m pretty good with bushcraft. I also usually have a couple cannabis seeds in one of those keychain style pill bottles so I’m in it for the long haul, I don’t think I’d even want to get rescued 😅
I would die of cold or stupidity after a month of homelessnes, let alone island.
If there is clean water and some food I can figure out how to harvest relatively easily then I like my odds.
Assuming it’s not an Arctic island. Then I have until winter.

You can survive three minutes without breathable air (unconsciousness), or in icy water.
You can survive three hours in a harsh environment (extreme heat or cold). You need shelter!
You can survive three days without drinkable water.
You can survive three weeks without food. But, many people have gone for over 40 days during fasting and have survived.
you need water, and cant last 3 weeks without it.
You can survive three weeks without food. But, many people have gone for over 40 days during fasting and have survived.
I dread to think what state your body is in by that point, it has to be consuming itself to keep going.
You CAN survive, but the larger question is would you WANT to survive?
I’m assuming “can survive if you get immediate medical treatment at the end.”
This guy went 382 days, but did have water and vitamins, just no food.
24 minutes, I’m not an island person. Need my land to be at least a peninsula, maybe a cape but no island.
I play Animal Crossing. My character has been going for 3 months as of yesterday. She has more clothes than people who live on the mainland, and a two-storey house with a basement and several rooms. She’s paid off the racoon (or tanuki if you prefer) so she has no debt. As far as food, it sucks because AC is a vegan fantasy game in which meat and meat byproducts simply do not exist, but hey, the trees and crops grow every 3 days and put out more than enough food for me, the racoon/tanuki and his two nephews, his girlfriend, his ex-girlfriend and her sister, and the museum curator… oh and the ten villagers I have… to survive and thrive.
Oh, you mean a real deserted island? I couldn’t. But I’m about to get off the computer and go cross some animals because they won’t cross themselves! (I know that makes no sense, but neither does the name, which it’s a play on. FWIW, the game’s original Japanese name means something like “animals in the forest.” The English name, I think, is a play on “Railroad Crossing,” but it’s still kind of nonsensical. Just like our reasons for playing this game…
meat and meat byproducts simply do not exist
There was an update with a bunch of food items, including sushi, roasted fish, clam chowder etc
Luncheon Plate Meal and Shio Ramen appear to include ham
Good point. I think the Luncheon Plate Meal is the one with the sandwich? That does appear to have cold cuts.
But sushi, roasted fish, and clam chowder are seafood and are considered by some vegans/vegetarians to be okay for whatever reason. I’m not one or the other — I eat meat, and possibly more than most. I’m good with veggies, but I pretty much main protein and avoid carbs and sugar. It’s a struggle. Anyway, what I meant was that they don’t typically have food made from the kinds of animals that would be your villagers. Oddly there are octopus villagers, so seafood becomes somewhat unethical if you have any.
Also, glad to see some fellow AC fans on Lemmy. Just need to find a good community.
I think the logic there is that on an island, seafood is much more readily available, hence its abundance in the food items. Some of the food items can be cooked using caught fish, harvested veggies etc. You can’t go kill Agnes to make pork chops (my wife would riot)
Definitely the rest of my life.
My phone can go two days if I make it stretch, but once it dies and I lose access to music I’d probably just drown myself
Assuming it’s like a small-ish tropical island and i’m the biggest predator around, with plenty of fruits and also a pond with fresh water and fish i can eat, i’d say i’ll die in the middle of the first night from hypothermia because i can’t tolerate cold.
Maybe it’s a nice warm tropical island with perfect weather all year round.
it would be just like Minecraft, so I’d make it till nightfall until skeletons and spiders murdered me
