Hypothetical situation:
You are locked in your lab for 1 week, completely unable to leave until the time is up. How do you survive? What will you eat? What will you drink? How will you keep warm?

For this situation, assume all the usual lab supplies are infinite.

I guess I'd get a lot of work done.

You're describing the life of an average chinese student in an American university.

>How do you keep warm?
Assuming the power stays on, core temperature control isn't an issue. Lots of fun combustibles but, no need for fire, sadly.
>What will you eat?
Sucrose.
What will you drink?
RO water straight from the tap, with a pinch of a salt like CaCl mixed in.

I've already given some thought what chemicals in my lab would be the most useful while browsing /cvg/ doomporn about how we were all going to be bartering beans for blowjobs.

Unless you're using your lunch as part of your experiments, doesn't count

You're gonna eat nothing by raw sugar for a week? What about your other nutrients anon? What will your shits end up being like? Where will you shit for that week?

Begin synthesizing fat, citric acid and a small sample of muscle tissue which I then process into a stem cell tissue sample. Commence meat racking.
T-T
Eat lard and juice and myself...Also the chemical formula for peanut butter and sucrose is relatively easy to synthesize.

This is not necessarily fair.
In a physics lab, all you have to eat are metallic instruments and plasma/electronics.
In a chemistry lab you might be able to make some chemical compounds that resemble food.
In a biology lab you are literally surrounded by edibles depending on its specialization. Mushrooms, seeds, livestock etc.

Hypothetically though, if stuck in a physics lab you could lower your metabolism through electrical or cryonic conduits. For a week.

Lack of food is not going to become an issue in 7 days beyond comfort. Just drink from the sink to stave off dying of dehydration.

I'd eat reagent-grade glucose and drink distilled water. Maybe try to get high off diethyl ether too, I've heard that's fun.

If it's too cold i'd fill up a bag with NaOH and water to keep me nice and comfy.
For drinking why not some sodium citrate sol with some minerals add in? I love its taste
Food Is the big challenge assuming i'm in my chem Lab... I guess i'll eat sugar and L-prolyne since you can find It in almost all the uni labs

I'm gonna test out some lab cooking! Starting the taste test with some LB agar plates, some agarose gels, some blood agar. From there we can start getting creative. Mix some glucose, dNTPs, yeast extract and amino acids with the best tasting of agar or agarose, cook it in the autoclave and serve with skim milk powder in MilliQ water. Meal fit for a king

I will drink the bottles of rat cum I have, use my stockpile of Americium-241 to stay warm, and eat the supply of fetal bat hybrids that I am germinating.

the usual: canned beans and coffee. I keep an emergency food supply stocked just in case. The hard part will be going thr bathroom and sleeping. The couch isn't that comfortable and I'll have to go out the windows.
>>keep warm
typically if I'm living in the lab I take my winter coat to use as a blanket.

Look on the bright side. You can soak the paper into a bathtub and the tannines should perfectly preserve your corpse.
