1 of 3 Day 4: Clean water (c) vs. Electricity vs. Education

Rules:
1. Vote for the ONE THING you'd want to keep of the three. You can utilize that as much as you want in life, but you may never utilize the other two again.
2. This is a Jeopardy-style format. The winner will run in the next day's poll against two new challengers.
3. Entrants that win multiple days' polls will be entered into a tournament of champions once nominations dry up.
4. You are more than welcome to post your reasoning, but are not obligated to. Discussion and bumping are both encouraged!
5. Rounds will last as long as I want them to, usually around 24 hours.
6. Please NOMINATE combatants! Anything goes, with one exception: You may not nominate "Life" (or any equivalent of) simply because it beats everything.

Day 1: Internet 42, Video games 17, Pizza 3
Day 2: Internet 39, fun sex 7, Ulti's Shirt 5
Day 3: Clean water 15, Internet 12, Reproduction 5

Today's nominees:
CLEAN WATER: Refers to public water systems (city water mains) that clean and treat drinking water AND water filtered through refrigerator water dispensers or products by Britta and their competitors. Without this, you would be forced to boil water found in nature and would run the risk of contracting diseases like cholera and dysentery.
ELECTRICITY: Refers to electric-based power outlets. Without it, you will be unable to run the likes of appliances, computers, TVs, video game consoles, lights, phone chargers, and pretty much anything a geek needs. The alternative is to find another power source that does not require an outlet or to find other forms of entertainment. Essentially, you would become Amish.
EDUCATION: Means professional schooling of any kind, public or private (including homeschooling curricula designed by such institutions). Without this, you would have to be homeschooled under a curriculum devised by your parents without assistance (they would have to acquire textbooks and such under their own means) and you would not be able to make friends in a school setting.

Nominations:
...could someone nominate something?

5-3-2 - this is a close one, folks!

i could be homeschooled/self taught or live in the stone age

tough choice

No education would be... well I've never valued education anyway

No clean water would be inconvenient, but electricity would provide the means to make clean water.

No electricity would mean I'd kill myself within 6 weeks

voted electricity

Nominate: Meat

Which is pretty much my line of thinking too. I think a lot of people missed that you can boil water for drinking to clean it as best as possible (even if there's still a slight risk).

yeah, considering I have a strong immune system, a slight risk is most certainly acceptable. Plus, with electricity being a thing, I can just go online and look up life hacks for better DYI purification techniques

I don't have a strong immune system, but electricity is way more important to my survival here for many reasons. Boiling pond water being one of them (even if that would taste awful).

How people lived without both of those 150 years ago, I'll never understand.

New round tonight.

I didn't read. Voted. Read. Then realized I should read first.
