Ok so some people are asking what type of apocalypse but I feel that’s mostly irrelevant because you said it’s a post apocalypse scenario. The apocalypse has already passed.
So there’s kind of two options. One is where I would be the sole survivor on the planet, and the other is where there’s still pockets of survivors out there.
Most post apocalypse situations involve other people surviving, so I’ll start there.
You didn’t put a limiter on what the item could be, whether it had to be realistic or not, and how this supply would come to be. So I’ll give three answers, each with different degrees of what I’m assuming your intention behind the question is.
The first would be an infinite supply of non tricky, non malevolent genie lamps. Infinite wishes baybee, this trumps pretty much everything.
Something more fantastic but more reasonably grounded would be computers, with a complete set of data on human history, art, music, science and schematics, with instructions on how to rebuild society in a more equitable way, translated into all languages possible, with a pictogram of how to charge it up etched on the outside. Pass those suckers around, rebuild society, got infinite of them, everyone gets one and it has the windows space pinball from the 90s on it just for fun.
But since you said lighters, to play with the idea of things that exist, I’m gonna go with tents. Probably those onion shaped ones that are designed to be permanent housing, or yurts. Sure water and food are important but without shelter you’re fucked, and I could house everyone.
Now if it were an apocalypse where I’m the only survivor, I would want an infinite supply of one thing.
