Depends on the situation.
Currently? 40 pound box of cake mix I'm probably going to launch at my store manager.

Is it the 40 pound box of cake mix that kills? Or is the person hucking the 40 pound box of cake mix?
My cat. Everything else in my room brings me either misery or a feeling of meh. Cat brings joy, which is difficult for me to obtain.
Vibrator.
For almost everyone it's gonna be the phone we're reading this on.
The toilet. Lost count of the number of times this has saved me from getting dysentery or something and it's so convenient when it just pushes the shit away from my house and I never have to see or smell it again. I almost feel bad that I repay it for all its done by repeatedly shitting in it.
I was going to say the paper but you're absolutely right
Toilet paper 𧻠Very, very useful.
See, if you're in the room I think you're in, I think I would vote for the toilet.
TP actually makes an awesome and really inexpensive kleenex or napkin alternative
Toilets are effective at pushing shit, piss and vomit into the sewer while preventing sewer gases from entering your home, and they also double as chairs when not in excremental use. You can also use a toilet to repair the mental defects of a billionaire if you drop it from high enough, I don't think toilet paper functions in that way.
All I'm saying is that I found the extra-restroom utility of TP when I had a sinus infection.

You win.
Me? Unless Iβm excluded, then the laptop. Although the room itself is pretty useful, but I donβt think I consider it βin the roomβ.
Me.
Toilet paper
And lotion
Toilet paper
Outside of my brain and body?
Probably my mobile phone
The doctor.
The SCADA servers.
Ominous.
That's a tough one because I'm currently surrounded by computers and tools. I'm within reach of my smart phone, one of my laptops, I'm typing this on my desktop PC, I'm within reach of three multitools, a power drill, and my away mission tool bag. So I think I'll give a cop out answer and go with "The several thousand liters of air filling the room."
Probably my phone, and that probably applies to most rooms frankly if we're talking about potential things I could need to do
The answer is electricity. It's so useful, we take it for granted. Your phones, computers and laptops are not useful if you can't power them.
I'll give the people on the dunny their due: toilet paper is still useful in a room without electricity.
A human being.
My wife.
Same! Mine's smart, entertaining, manages my social life, probably contributes more to society than I ever will and on top of that, for reasons that still escape explanation, actually wants to have sex with me which is probably the only reason I never turned into an incel. She is easily the best thing in this house, myself included.
Right there with you. Sheβs amazing. Plans all our trips. Organizes the kids. Lets me do the things I do best. Perfect travel buddy. To wives!π»

Iβm in the ER. Probably the doctor standing directly in front of me.
This computer.
The manager likely thinks itβs him, but itβs actually all the workers that do the work.
My phone. It might be my laptop, but it's currently not working. If you consider humans, me.
Air. Canβt go more than a minute or two without it, and thereβs enough to share!
Air freshener.
Coffee
Pumpkin spice old fashioned. With real pumpkin puree!
Most useful? Without a doubt, my laptop. The amount of things that can be done with a modern computer is pretty stunning, and a portable one is arguably more useful.
Other than that, maybe my car keys because the amount of things you can do with a car is stunning, but you need the keys to start it, and the car isn't in this room.
Towel warmer.
Computer.
gotta be either the tiny computer i'm typing this on, or the large, sturdy, wooden stick in the corner. if i had to pick to keep just one though, it'd be the phone. a sturdy stick has a million and one uses, but it's also fairly easily replaceable.
Home server.
