Has rabbits, and old nuclear weapons production plants.
Fort Carroll Island
Artificial island built as a military fort, abadoned, sold off to private developer, abandoned again.
Clipperton Island
Potable water, abandonded guano mine, also probably/basically cursed due to a famine leading to starvation leading to a guy declaring himself king leading to everyone else killing him, during the Mexican Revolution.
Bonus:
We attempt to defeat the Libertarians and just all move to New Hampshire.
Nobody said attempting to establish or reestablish civilization on an actually uninhabited island would be easy.
And those were the ones I could find that are not like… well, most other unihabited islands are either very, very far from the nearest civilization, or are set aside protected nature resverves, or both.
Devons Island, for example, is literally used as a nearest terrestrial equivalent to Mars, for NASA and other space agencies to do experiments.
There are other islands that could potentially be considerable, but … they’re usually very remote, and while they do have some population, its basically all scientific researchers or equipment operators.
Its gonna be pretty hard to find anywhere to settle that would not involve colonialism, or utterly extreme distances from nearest logistics points and/or essentially impossible weather/climate conditions.
So apparently its Syros, not Sykos, and you basically get dormed for free in somebody else’s house, and tend to the kitties for 5 hours a day.
Honestly, not a terrible vacation idea, but if you just had a bunch of NDs move there and then stay and then try to build their own society by morphing the existing one… well… that’s kind of a settler-colonialism.
i can order food and find the bathroom in 27 languages and greek is one of them. (pointing and actively, noisily shitting gets the point across very well)
… any takers for nerodivergent Zion?
Candidate areas include:

I mean hey as long as it’s not snake island, doll island, or sentinel island, these are some real contenders!
Although I’m concerned that “potable water” is only listed as an asset for one of them, and that one’s the “basically cursed” one 😂.
But the cursed one sounds like the most interesting one xD

… Other than again potentially New Hampshire.
Hmm, I like this idea. But no one to take care of my family or project.
Sykos Island has cats
and we could volutneer to take care of the cats
That does seem like an extremely fitting idea.
Oh, what are all the weirdos up to now?
… herding cats, evidently.

Or, maybe, we all learn Greek and integrate?
i had not finished my coffee, i will learn to spell before i have finished my coffee in another life.
but honestly i’m kind of thinking about emigrating to syros i love greek food and culture.
sykos probably because that is where my brain is.
Well you’re probably going to have to learn at least a bit of Greek if we want to stay there very long =P

I’d rather avoid any island where we’d have to resort to eating cats, since they’ll destroy the wildlife there
i’m confused why are we eating the cats they are cuddly
To gain their powers
have you tried just laying down
Oh wow this is way better
Now the cats come to you and you can just eat them
I’m gonna be just like one of those hungry hungry hippos.
I’m in! I vote for!
