An Important Hypothetical - What Android Apps Do You Install??

You're twelve years old on Thanksgiving at six thirty in the morning. You'll be leaving for Grandma's in about a half hour, and she's lives a three hour drive away, going in one direction. You have nothing to prepare yourself on this journey, other than a tablet running Android Eleven. Beware, the speaker is broken and there is no headphone jack. Google Play complains that the device isn't certified or whatever, but that isn't going to stop you from downloading apps from third party websites using the family computer. Plus, you have one great advantage: F-droid is installed and ready to rock.

You must hurry, because you wont have an internet connection once you hit the road. Quick, what apps do you install? You have 128GiB's at your disposal.

only half an hour

no information on the internet connection quality

Minetest I guess. Can't trust that I can get Retroarch plus the cores and games I want on time, and it's not worth the hassle for only 3 hrs drive.

Silly premise, but you have found a use for Bluetooth headphones I guess.

Anyway I probably install Librera FD for reading epubs, then go on AO3 for suitable materials.

Slightly off topic, but I absolutely hate AO3's formatting. I much prefer fanfiction net.

Download as epub then use pandoc to convert to whatever. I'm throwback enough to prefer plain text.

A small pillow and sleep.

This is the truest and most correct answer, but it comes with a huge drawback!

Lol, I've not seen that pic in forever.

But for real, even kids need sleep (actually more than adults due to still developing). Road trips for me when I was young was either: Cassette Walkman, listen to parents radio or look out the window. Sometimes having nothing got boring (especially driving through Texas), but I think it helped my imagination and self reflection time.

Lithium apk and Light Novel epubs.

If I want to play games downloading Retroarch + SNES cores + a good story based game like Chrono Trigger or Earthbound could do the trick, however I like reading on a bigger screen more, and I really dislike playing a game on a big touchscreen.

ReadEra and a bunch of pirated ebooks from libgen. Basically the top 10 of the 3 genres I like most.

Bonus is that books are a few 100kb at most, so even with a poor internet speed I can download them in seconds, no problem.
