My house.
Snoop
I have two dogs you monster!
Then they must merge
Ed…ward
Put that back where you got it.
I mean one of them already likes eating poop so canine centipede it is!
Living beings != things
It already happened to me. The flames of a wind-fueled brush fire were already caressing the house, the roaring noise woke me up.
I ran out of the house in boxer shorts and holding my cats on each arm. Screw the car and wallet and computer, it was the cats.Then a water line that ran behind the house burst, and drenched the entire place, extinguishing the flames and saving the house, and with barely any damage, only superficial, cosmetic. It felt like a one-in-a-million thing, but the configuration of physical elements and the sequence of events made it inevitable.
The place did stink of smoke for several days, though. Then random whiffs of charred odor kept on popping in and out for weeks.
The house
Found the snoop dog
I save my cat! All of my other shit can be replaced.
My cat. He may be a total asshole, but still my number one top priority. Everything else can be replaced in one way or another.

There are fireproof briefcases. I think buying one would give you some peace of mind about your papers.

My understanding is that when a house is on fire,
-
the water damage from the firefighters cause damage.
-
Also the fire is normally “moved” with some fun airflow physics that firefighters learn, so the damage from burning is somewhat contained (hopefully).
-
also a fire burns up, so something insulated underneath where the fire is could last a long time with little damage.
Based on these reasons, I expect that the briefcase could help keep your documents safe.

And maybe save a cat
Reallisticaly nothing more that myself. My PC is wired and heavy, and what else matter? Guess depends how fast is burning the house, give me 10 minutes and I will save mine computer with even monitor.

Not that hard to replace. I had to get a new birth cert from Australia and All i had to do was fill 8lin my name, date of birth, place of birth, my parents names, and siblings. 3 weeks later my cert arrived in Europe.

That’s for sure, there is no interest to anyone that you go around without documents. And documents with moneys interest usually have even five copies around the offices and databases. In an house burning saving documents to me looks insane, even cringe in this modern society.
My computer, a lot of files on there I don’t want to lose. I have them backed up to other hard drives, but in the same computer. So I need to save the computer.
Dude. A backup in the same computer is not a “backup”. You should have a separate network attached storage (nas) and a script like syncthing backing up to a different hard drive (the nas). If you don’t want to do it yourself, you can buy a all in one device that has the software and hard drive all in one.
If you are not saving things to a remote location, you will lose all your shit in a flood or fire. Remote storage has gotten cheap enough to make it practical.
Hetzner storage boxes cost 3.8€/month for 1TB, which is more than enough for the important things people have.
Backblaze is 70$/year for unlimited data.
you will lose all your shit in a flood or fire.
That’s why I’m saving my computer as my one thing. ;)
My dog
I’d save this guy’s dog too
I guess grabbing the fire safe would be a waste of an item, but that’s where I keep all the stuff that needs to survive a fire…
…so maybe a bottle of water from the fridge? For me; not the fire.
My daughter
But what about your gaming computer.
My Cat!
Assuming kids and wife are safe out there, my american elite autumn blaze Telecaster.
This song is the only reason I know what a Telecaster is
Myself?
What about your giant purple dildo?!
What?
At this point it’s basically part of myself, inseparable, so does that still count?
Hey man gotta have your priorities straight 😎
