Would you be buried alive for 48hr for a million dollars?

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.

Just 48 hours or a MILLION? Yes. YES. Sign me up! 100%!

xkforce,

Can I do it again later if I need another million?

FluffyPotato,

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

Inb4 this is a MrBeast staff looking for ideas…

JokeDeity,

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

Espresso,

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

Lightsong,

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.

cjsolx,

I’d do it too. Here I am working my ass off for the next 30 years to save maybe $1m for retirement and someone’s willing to just give it to me after 48hrs of suffering? No brainer. I’d ask questions about the plan to keep it safe of course, but if I was satisfied that they knew what they were doing, I’d do it no question. I’m surprised that most are saying no to this. I mean shit, at least try.

CADmonkey,

A quick run to DDG for casket dimensions, along with some poking at my calculator tells me that if you were buried, you and your casket or coffin would have approximately 5,100 kg of soil on top of it. Caskets have thin steel in them, coffins are typically wood. I feel like any dead body containment device one could buy wouldn’t be able to hold that weight.

Let me design the coffin and I’d consider it.

Tangent5280,

bruh you know you’d design a full on panic room with airconditioning, a flatscreen and a PS5

CADmonkey,

Obviously I would.

set_secret,

not for a billion.

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

Yeah, that got way too dark way too quickly.

Tangent5280,

I’m sure they’d rather have you than a million dollars

I’ve probably spent enough time with my family anyway.

Anticorp,

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.

Ugh 😔

Corkyskog,

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

TheGiantKorean,
@TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, it would just be a no go for some people, for sure.

Anticorp,

Insulin pump?

qyron,

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

No. Not even dead.

Octavio,

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!

Anticorp,

I don’t understand Sadam’s strategy with that hole. Was he planning on living there the rest of his life, or was he thinking the USA would get tired of looking for him and move on?

I have no idea, but I assume it was a last-ditch effort to avoid getting capped. Excellent meme though.

Rockyrikoko,

Spider hole!
