You can have any one thing, what will it be?
So the rules are you can have one thing. It can’t be sold. It has to be an object. Hopefully it has some inherent oneness that makes it not many things. It has to be smaller than a continent, and you have to be able to afford to maintain it without needing to sell it.
You can have other stuff in life, but for the sake of this question you can pick one thing in the whole world. It can be something that is depletable. But not a gift card or some monetary instrument. More like bread, or cheese. I don’t know. Just avoid coming up with an answer that means you can just get a whole bunch of other stuff.
It has to be something that has a known whereabouts. It should not be fictitious.

I’ll just stick with my wife
Any answer I could possibly have was ruined by the “should not be fictitious” rule.
You can have all your regular stuff too, but you can pick one thing…in the whole world and have it.
Oh, in that case I’ll take a helicopter so I could go snowboarding on untouched terrain
The Louvre. With contents.
@Jeruba, see, that is like multiple things…
You can have a painting, and a frame…not the whole shabang
mine would definitely be this
and just for the record I would consider these “multiple things” living as one organism all in a symbiotic relationship with one another.
Space Mountain in my back yard
Can it be an employment contract? Cause I’d like to be the voice of the next Disney Princess, please.
I would like to have the you store it facility at the end of the street. It is always full up. At $65 a months, those 300 units are bringin home the bacon.
An inhabitable castle in Scotland. Furnished to my taste.
I’ll take two pocket-size nuclear fusion devices…and no questions asked O:)
It’s just one museum. If it doesn’t have contents, it isn’t a museum. It’s just a building. I picked one thing. It has inherent oneness, and it’s smaller than a continent. I didn’t ask for any other stuff.
If I can’t have the Louvre, I choose a strawberry, which is likewise made up of smaller things. Everything is made up of other things, right down to the subatomic level.
If contents aren’t included, then no furnishings for @Trillian. And no fish for @earthduzt, just an empty glass case.
I’m beginning to doubt that this is a genuine offer.
I would like…a diamond mine in my backyard please. I guess I could manage to find hardhats and pickaxes for the kids to use as they dig up their college tuition. :)
@Jeruba That glass case is made up of molecules, which in turn are made up of atoms, which are made up of protons and electrons and neutrons…etc.
@toomuchcoffee911, my argument exactly. There is no significant difference between the Louvre and a strawberry.
@Jeruba… So now you have the louvre with all its contents, and you can’t sell it. Now what…pray, tell… are you going to do with it that you can’t do with it already!
Hmm. Excellent question, @Ltryptophan. Apart from free entry, I have no idea. All I thought about in relation to your question was desirability and access. I imagined living there and spending all my time among the paintings. That would be glorious.
The whole concept of ownership just confounds me anyway. What does it actually mean to own anything that isn’t consumable? The more I think about it, the less I understand it. Maybe I should have taken the strawberry after all.
Well, if I wanted to be clever like some of you, I suppose I would choose the very next winning powerball ticket worth over $200m. I would not sell it after all, I would just cash it in. I suppose that would clear my hurdles.
But answering in the spirit of my own question I would take the central lock on the panama canal.
you get to decide who comes across from the pacific!
