Ask Lemmy

48 hours without water can put you at risk for death, I wouldn't recommend trying.

I feel like $1 million is more than enough to pay for any therapy necessary to patch up any possible resulting breaks in my psyche with plenty to spare.

I'm pretty sure many years worth of my salary for 48 hours of extreme stress is worth it given parenthood and career already yield moderate to high stress regularly; investing the $1 million well could push up retirement quite a bit.

Plus, let's be real - I get at least some legit rest in there.

Make it also no oxygen, and you got yourself a deal.

No, I would die of being panic long before being dig up.

With how shitty my job is, I'd do this in heart beat. Just suffer for 48 hours and I'm well off for the rest of my life. I'll prob still need to work but I could buy a house and all. The just work same shitty job to just pay the bills. Or since I'll have some cushion, I could try and look for other jobs.

Sign me up.

Inb4 this is a MrBeast staff looking for ideas...

Some magician tried this at a local children's theme park when I was a kid. If I remember correctly, he was supposed to escape or something. He miscalculated the weight of the soil and was crushed to death.

Having been in a MRI machine several times, absolutely fucking not. Maybe for 8hrs.

How much of that million do I lose to tax afterward?

that's 27x my annual salary, sign me up

No way. Imagine being stuck in complete darkness unable to move your body for that amount of time. I'd lose my mind and probably have a panic attack thinking to myself what if they don't dig me up?. The money isn't worth the mental trauma that would cause me.

Fuck no. Just reading this post gave me the chills. No way I’d do it for real by choice.

Ive already slept for 33 hours straight... Without drugs or anything... I guess that sounds like a good sleep (as long as its one of the comfy coffins and not just a wooden box)

I'd do it.

No. There's not a thing that exists in the known or unknown universe that could convince me to go through with that.

What's the oxygen situation like?

Sounds great. I can do several days without food

If there isn't enough room to roll around, it's going to be essentially impossible for a diabetic to administer what they need.

Never mind the issues with dehydration, I could not be alone with my thoughts for that long.

not for a billion.

I would. It would be the worst 48 hours of my life especially since I'm claustrophobic but 48 hours are really not that long in the grand scheme of things. Better than working for 15+ years for the same amount.

Yes as long as I'm certain that I'll get the 1 million dollars after the end. But if allowed by the rules I'd prepare myself some time before being buried. Mostly to make sure that I'm hydrated and fed just enough to endure it, but not enough to shit/piss in the coffin.

Yes, but only if it wasn’t short notice. I would want to practice building up to 48 hours in a similar sized box above ground.

Would you have a countdown clock or a watch to indicate how much time left? I think that will mentally help me a ton.

Would I get to wear a diaper and get at least 2 bottles of water?
