You are buried in a coffin 6ft deep, with no light or cell phone. There is only a small tube connected to the coffin from outside that allows you to breathe (edit: you can breathe with no difficulty). After 48 hours, you are dug up and given 1 million dollars. Do you do it?

Edit: No food and water, no diaper, and no contact with the outside world. Once buried, they leave for 48hr and come back to dig you up. The coffin is only wide enough for you to lay on your back (no rolling around), and the inside is wood and not particularly comfortable. The only items you're allowed to bring with you are life sustaining medication (e.g. an asthma inhaler). No knocking yourself out with pills or anxiety meds. The money is a briefcase full of cash.

Very much no. I wouldn't last an hour, let alone 48 and if I did I would be fucked up for life.

Without food, water or even a diaper? Ew... no.

I wouldn't be buried alive for an hour for a million dollars.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, i would sneak some sleeping pills and have the best sleep ever.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Sleeping pills not allowed. They search you.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am sure I can take a pill or two to let you sleep for most of it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

No knocking yourself out with pills or anxiety meds.

[–] notexecutive 3 points 1 year ago

I could do it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Not even 48 seconds. Just thinking about being buried alive for too long can give me a panic attack. Noping out of this thread now!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

This is probably the worst concept ever for a reality show.

No. Not even dead.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Only 48 hours of suffering to live comfortable the rest of my life?

That's a great deal.

If no animals/bugs can get in, I'm allowed enough room to roll around and I have a phone with hours of downloaded content and a power bank I'm all set

Yes.

But what about using the bathroom?
