You mean 48 hours of peace and quite AND I get a million‽ sigh me the fuck up.

48 hours without water? Absolutely not. There is a high probability of exiting a cripple or dead, at least for me. Not to mention my medicine.

48 hours without water is a no go.

Could I hire a guy and pay him 48 hours of minimum wage to lay in the coffin for me and then collect the million dollars at the end? I think I just invented capitalism.

I'd drink water until I was ready to explode, jump in that thing with an evil laugh and a wink, then emerge two days later as the world's most pee-drenched millionaire.

Guaranteed not to die?

It's certainly uncomfortable, but a million bucks for a weekend of laying in a box is a pretty good deal.

I'd be more worried about the dehydration and bodily functions than about being underground, assuming I am guaranteed to live.

if I can sneak in some sleepy pills I'd do it. fall asleep and wake up two days later really hungry, stinky, sore, and rich as fuck.

if i can't I wouldn't. many people don't realize how dangerous sensory deprivation can be on larger scales than a couple hours. many people try to kill themselves to escape lighter/easier situations than you e described here

Is the air tube mechanically assisted? I'm not sure I could handle the effort of basically pumping air 6ft back and forth with my lungs for 48 hours.

I'm visualizing the experience, sitting in a 10'x12' room, and totally unconstrained. Just that makes me feel anxious.

I think that I'd have a mental break in less than a day. Probably in less than a few hours.

I couldn't do it.

As a parent, you had me at "no room to roll around". As long as I have a 100% guarantee that none of my kids will find me in there to ask for something, I'm in. I'm gonna get so much sleep.

So what you're saying is, would I lie in my own waste in the dark for 2 days tops for

maths

60+ years worth of my current wage? I'll go in right now

I know how this one went....

Think I'll pass!

3 days poopless 2.0?

I currently don't have a problem with small spaces but I think this would give it to me. I was okay up until the part where I can't roll around. I was imagining it and that would be so uncomfortable to stay in the same position for 48 hours. I think I'll pass. I don't need a million that badly and I don't want PTSD.

Nope. I’d freak out before the first shovelful of dirt hit the coffin lid.

I’m not generally claustrophobic, but that level of confinement would be unbearable.

Assuming I could be confident the coffin would hold up against the weight of the dirt, I would do it. I remember the Mythbusters tested a myth related to being buried alive. To test it, they buried Jamie in a coffin and ended up having to pull the plug because the dirt was crushing the coffin.

If I can stop whenever (without payment), sign me up. It will be boring tho.. Very boring. Probably will need to keep my mind occupied because that situation can make you go crazy.

Are you Mr Beast's content brainstomer or something?

I’d sleep so good. I think this is going to be answered one way by youths and another way by old people who would pay for 48h of peace and quiet.

Given people have died during these buried alive challenges, that will be a resounding no from me. There's also a small chance that something happens to the people that bury you and you die slowly in the dark, never knowing what transpired and why you're still there. Not worth the risk.

Nope. They have a million reasons to figure out a way for me not to collect. I have faith in thier engenuity.

Man, just trying to imagine it, I wouldn't be able to do it. It's one thing to be confined to a small space, but a small space where you can't roll around? I'd need at least enough room to roll over or stretch out my limbs. Also, I'd have no concept of the passage of time, so it's very likely that I would go insane in there within the span of 48 hours. Sure, you could try and sleep a bit, but after 8-10 hours of that you'd be wide awake and have no idea how much time went by, with 40+ more to go.

I'm sure some people have probably done this for a lot less, though. I'm thinking of stowaways on cargo ships or airplanes who sealed themselves in a crate or something to get somewhere else, but I think in that case they at least had a little more space and hopefully a way to pass the time while voyaging.

I'd rather die to give a million dollars to my family than do this.

Yeah, that got way too dark way too quickly.

Anyone who thinks this is a good deal doesn't know what they're talking about. Experiments involving similar conditions have been done before, and it's never really a pleasant experience. Solitary confinement is fucking tough.

Take this for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqKdEhx-dD4 3 days in a small room alone with no real entertainment. Even that had significant effect on Michael's wellbeing.

Keep in mind usually you can still move around and exercise in solitary confinement to keep you relatively sane. In a coffin? Have a look at sensory deprivation tanks. That's the closest thing to this hypothetical situation, and the people who sell the experience recommend you don't spend more than an hour in there.

Is it a comfortable coffin? And can I wear fake fangs and pretend I'm doing vampire cosplay?

Risk too high for reward. Maybe with water? Definitely would need an emergency end to the whole thing.

Nah. I wouldn't be able to enjoy the money dealing with the ptsd this would likely cause.

Usually I don’t have a problem with narrow spaces, but being unable to move at all is a deal breaker for me. I feel like that would be seriously painful after a few hours, mentally AND physically.

A million bucks wouldn't even cover the average home in my city. No deal.

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