Make it also no oxygen, and you got yourself a deal.

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

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.

I feel like $1 million is more than enough to pay for any therapy necessary to patch up any possible resulting breaks in my psyche with plenty to spare.

I'm pretty sure many years worth of my salary for 48 hours of extreme stress is worth it given parenthood and career already yield moderate to high stress regularly; investing the $1 million well could push up retirement quite a bit.

Plus, let's be real - I get at least some legit rest in there.

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.

How much of that million do I lose to tax afterward?

Having been in a MRI machine several times, absolutely fucking not. Maybe for 8hrs.

Inb4 this is a MrBeast staff looking for ideas...

No way. Imagine being stuck in complete darkness unable to move your body for that amount of time. I'd lose my mind and probably have a panic attack thinking to myself what if they don't dig me up?. The money isn't worth the mental trauma that would cause me.

Fuck no. Just reading this post gave me the chills. No way I’d do it for real by choice.

Ive already slept for 33 hours straight... Without drugs or anything... I guess that sounds like a good sleep (as long as its one of the comfy coffins and not just a wooden box)

I'd do it.

No. There's not a thing that exists in the known or unknown universe that could convince me to go through with that.

that's 27x my annual salary, sign me up

not for a billion.

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

Sounds great. I can do several days without food

Never mind the issues with dehydration, I could not be alone with my thoughts for that long.

What's the oxygen situation like?

Would you have a countdown clock or a watch to indicate how much time left? I think that will mentally help me a ton.

No. Money is not that important, by far. I'd play you for 10k, holdem or Omaha, anytime, though. Send me location.

Yes as long as I'm certain that I'll get the 1 million dollars after the end. But if allowed by the rules I'd prepare myself some time before being buried. Mostly to make sure that I'm hydrated and fed just enough to endure it, but not enough to shit/piss in the coffin.

Would I get to wear a diaper and get at least 2 bottles of water?

nope

A lot of people concerned about water but if it’s not very hot and you’re not sweating too much 48 hours shouldn’t be a problem.

Gimme a panic button to press in case of emergency, so that I won't die if something happens, and yeah. I would. Prisoners do solitary confinement, and it's awful, and inhumane, but clearly survivable. I have no problem talking to myself and keeping myself company. I routinely spent 8 hours totally alone 5 days a week as a kid, and yes, I realize this isn't the same. But I believe I could keep my mind occupied, and sleep through most of it. This isn't one of those insane ones, where they do it for a year. It's 48 hours. Sign me up.
