      How does oxygen fit the definition of luxury?

      Though that’s not really the point of your post is it? What you did was read and understand OP correctly but then thought, “won’t it be so hilarious if I make a joke and answered with something that you LITERALLY can’t live with out, instead of contributing to the discussion!?!?! Hahaha delightfully devilish, professorozone!”

      That your comment is upvoted is disappointing. It’s Reddit tier crap.

    Music, without a doubt. Specifically, being able to choose particular songs to listen to. I’d get pretty miserable after a few days.

    Clean and well-tasting tap water. It sucks when I’m going to another country and they have chlorinated tap water

        We have clean water in Austria, directly from the mountains without adding anything (just cleaning it with UV light to kill potential bacteria in most regions, nothing else. Not even that in some regions).

        Some of the best and cleanest water worldwide, so whenever I go to another country I’m disappointed by their water quality.

          Swede here who frequents Austria. I agree, and I love drinking the water while hiking in Austria.

          If you visit Sweden, our water is mostly as good as the one in Austria. Some exceptions are Gotland because of high chalk (so? “Kalk”) levels.

            How’s the water in the Netherlands, out of curiosity? If you’ve been there, that is. Or Belgium, maybe.

    If there is a luxury whose absence would break you, then I would suggest you do a little “fast” from it, occasionally.

      Well luckily for you, apparently it’s now acceptable to just blast your music out loud in public.

    Electricity.
    If you lose electricity most people lose access to:
    Hot water
    Running water (if you have a well)
    Air conditioning
    Indoor heat
    Television
    Internet
    Indoor lighting
    And hot meals if you don’t have gas.

    Losing electricity would cut you off from almost all of your luxuries as we’ve become completely dependent on it over the last century or so.
