half an hour
If the island has no fresh water, about six days.
I think we need more info about food, water and shelter.
For the rest of your life
Forever, if you follow this guide

another sysadmin says no to the entire population of vietnam. i guess ill JUST DIE THEN. FUCK
To quote xkcd, “On one hand, every single one of my ancestors going back billions of years has managed to figure it out. On the other hand, that’s the mother of all sampling biases.”
And ok, sure, the more recent ones haven’t had to rough it, but if you go back just a few generations you get to someone who actually knows something about something. Still, I think I could suss out at least enough to keep going until I inevitably got injured or sick or mauled by a wild animal.
That said, I’m very aware that this might just be unearned and unmerited arrogance, like the guys who say they could take a point off of Serena Williams on the tennis court.
If I played a set against Serena there is a decent chance I get one point.
She will hit 12 aces/unreturnable serves and 12 return winners. That’s going to happen. But during that she could double fault or miss one return. She’s not going to be trying that hard, playing me definitely isn’t going to put her “in the zone.” And my serves will be so weak and pathetic compared to what she’s used to that she’ll have to generate more pace for those winners than she normally would. I like my chances of one going long or wide.
Now, if the question is “could you hit a winner against Serena,” lol fuck no.
I would die of cold or stupidity after a month of homelessnes, let alone island.
Is there a source of fresh water? Three weeks : three days.
assuming you can catch fish, the eyeballs are good source off freshwater? or if there something you can store water, you can use condesation/evaportation maybe?
you need at least 37 eyeballs worth of water a day i think
the eyeballs are good source off freshwater
That is definitely a very fun fact. But the joke in my comment was that I can’t hunt or forage for any sort of food. I was referencing the guideline that a person can survive 3 days without water or 3 weeks without food.
Upvoted for the programming language reference alone.

Definitely the rest of my life.
This absolutely depends on conditions on the island.
Antarctica, and you packed for Tahiti
It’s a magical place
I understood that reference.
So no Mangos?
My phone can go two days if I make it stretch, but once it dies and I lose access to music I’d probably just drown myself

You can survive three minutes without breathable air (unconsciousness), or in icy water.
You can survive three hours in a harsh environment (extreme heat or cold). You need shelter!
You can survive three days without drinkable water.
You can survive three weeks without food. But, many people have gone for over 40 days during fasting and have survived.
you need water, and cant last 3 weeks without it.
You can survive three weeks without food. But, many people have gone for over 40 days during fasting and have survived.
I dread to think what state your body is in by that point, it has to be consuming itself to keep going.
You CAN survive, but the larger question is would you WANT to survive?
I’m assuming “can survive if you get immediate medical treatment at the end.”
This guy went 382 days, but did have water and vitamins, just no food.
Assuming it’s a tropical island, I think I’d do well enough.
If it’s of any size at all, there will be fresh water, and in any case, it will fall from the sky soon enough.
Even if there’s nothing to eat on the land, unlikely, there’s plenty in the sea.
Making fire would be my first and most difficult chore. Even guys that are practiced struggle, but if our ass is on line, it’s amazing what we humans can get done.
Much depends on what gear I have when I get there. Not having any sort of knife would be hell. Having cloth is a big deal.
Knowing how strong and smart I am I’m going to guess about three hours.
I’ve got rudimentary survival skills that could keep me alive in the wilderness on the NA continent. But in a resource-limited island, it would depend on what’s available. Beyond that, this question is too open-ended to answer.
Less than six hours, I have diabetes.
