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.

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.

Just drink a lot before and you'd be good to go IMO

Edit: at a normal temperature of course.

Then you'd drown in your own urine.

If you are producing enough urine to drown in a coffin in 48 hours you should see a urologist

Wait they didn't make the rest of you guys lay face down in the coffin? What the heck!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

You definitely couldn't produce enough urine to fill the coffin. You would definitely end up lying in piss but that's not too bad for a million, plus it may drain out the bottom.

Just drink it!!

OP said no diaper, which means you are pissing and shitting yourself, and you'll be soaking in it at ground temperature, around 55f. Might be a tad uncomfortable, lol.

Unless you are God-tier at holding it....

I've spent that much time without water without knowing it lol. It's not a long period of time without water.

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

You probably ate or drank other stuff with water. The other person didn't mean "water" specifically, just some means of hydration.
