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

The Giant Korean@lemmy.world to Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world – 143 points –

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.

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.

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.
