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.

redballooon,

No way.

Bury me with my phone or a laptop and I’ll do a month

JuzoInui,

If it was done at that moment, no. BUT if I KNEW that in advance, I’d could prep myself for that ( and even if I had doubts there’s a MILLION reasons to go thru with it) and some old school perseverance will win the day

As long as I have enough oxygen and food.

no deal

Jordan117,

You can’t go two days without eating for a million dollars?

Make it two weeks in the coffin and it would be a hard sell, but this seems like a pretty easy call. It would suck shit but it would be physically safe and more than worth the money.

Cryophilia,

Two days without water or without standing up can be very dangerous to your health. Not to mention at some point you’ll pee yourself, which is also dangerous to sit in for that long.

simon574,

I think this is a pretty good pitch for a twitch stream, you just need a way to record live footage of the poor person in the coffin.

markstos,

Are you forced to eat only asparagus as your last meal before going in?

    As we are assumed to get enough oxygen no matter what, I think blood thinners to stop us from dying of a stroke would be fair game too.

    FReddit,

    You guys are getting paid for this?

    I just needed a place to crash.

    meco03211,

    An apartment like that goes for a couple grand a month in NYC or San Fran, and you still have to cover utilities.

    Sounds good to me. I’ll have friends and family watch from the outside so I’ll be confident it isn’t some kind of ruse.

    If it was generally safe, maybe yes. E.g. could they get me out of there quick enough if I had some medical emergency?

    TheGiantKorean,
    @TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world avatar

    Nope. They stick you in there, leave, and come back in 48hr.

    xkforce,

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

    xc2215x,

    I would try it and see how I do for that much.

    Pretty sure that would mess me up mentally for life. So probably not.
