    Often, restrictions require a prisoner to choose foods that are available within the prison system or that cost less than a preset limit. Prisoners are usually denied requests that include alcohol or tobacco products.

    RIP to the commenters.

    Paradox: Request to eat the brain stem of the person who will deliver the killing blow / throw the switch / administer the injection / etc.

    If you are then killed by their replacement, then you weren’t given what you asked for, contradicting rule 1. If you succeed, rule 2 has been contradicted.

    But seriously. It’s hard to choose. There was this one pub I visited (with parent) as a child that made the most delicious, dare I say, succulent, miniature pasties. I think I’d like to gorge on those.

      The executioner plugs the electric chair into a timed wall outlet. In 30 minutes, you will die. You do get revenge on the executioner first though, so that’s cool

        Maybe if they set the timer to go on and off at set intervals or made you eat the meal in the chair, which is unusual.

        Otherwise you could take your sweet time eating that brain stem and they’d be unable to put you in a live chair without risking anyone else.

        There’s also the problem of what to do if there’s a power outage.

          Half an hour is plenty long enough to zom out on some brains, then get strapped into the chair. Even then, they can just set the timer for more time if they need it. If the power goes out, then good news! You get another serving of someone else’s brains tomorrow

    Anything on the planet? That’s great, let’s eradicate some diseases. Give me literally every single deadly virus that’s out there in the world right now. With a side of all of the leukemia present in the world to buy everyone some time. Give me my meal in an incinerator, lets go.

    I’d also like a whopper or something.

    Hemlock. BOOM! Cheated the hangman and had the last laugh! Edit: Oops. This was a clever way to escape my fate and is not part of the game. In that case, a Burger King Veal Parmigiana sandwich from the 1980’s.

    A microsd card with the plans for a fusion reactor, a step by step manual of how to achieve world peace and utopia, and enough shitcoins and dubious patent claims to overthrow the economy if needed. Plus all the Epstein files, the truth about JFK and all the dirty laundry of all world leaders. Throw in some nuclear access codes of various countries for good measure. Covered in Epoxy. Oh, and I want my whole body to be delivered to my family, stomach contents included.

    Diet Pepsi and Mentos. Cabbage and baking soda.

    I want my dead body to explode and spread foul smelling shit all over the place.

    ANYTHING on the planet? A clump of Bigfoot hair, a Zodiac Killer’s leg, and a shot of DB Cooper’s blood. Let’s solve some fuckin mysteries

    Edit: I’ll also take a side of whatever killed those campers at Dyatlov Pass, a copy of the holy text of the correct religion, and a camera that captured real footage of an alien

      You’re using your powers to solve cosmic mysteries. I’ll use them for a something a bit more self-serving.

      I will take my last meal in the form of blood pudding. A very large amount of blood pudding, made from at least 5 liters of blood. Human blood. Specifically the blood of the person set to perform the execution. Oh, and if you change your mind on who the executioner is, that invalidates my last meal, so I get another one.
