Standing for 24 straight hours.

Basically what the post says, standing up for 24hrs straight, no breaks.

Stipulations

You can start it whenever you want, but once you start you cannot stop before the 24hrs is up without losing.
When I said no breaks, I meant no breaks. No bathroom breaks, nothing. (i.e you can use the bathroom as often as you want as long as you stay standing, no sitting for it.)
At most you can bend over a 45° angle on all sides for mobility and stretching purposes. Anything past that, you fail.
No squatting down, no bending past the 45° mark. Dropped something past that? Better leave it or get help.
No prorated payments. All or nothing.
There's an official timer going for you to see as often as you want to look at to make sure you do/don't make it.

Should you make it the whole 24hrs, you get $10,000 US or it's equivalent.

Edit: Changed it from 10k of your country's currency to $10,000 USD or it's equivalent.

10,000 of my country's currency isn't really all that much, and it's not worth it, but if it was 10,000 US Dollars or some equivalent, then I would accept aslong as I could walk and move my legs

Clean_Student8612

I just put that because I know Reddit is world wide, I guess you can take $10k USD.

You should have started w/ $10K USD. 10K in say Korean Won is like $10 USD. So no one would do that.

Someone just said that in another comment, it had completely slipped my mind. I feel like that's what I meant when I typed it, but didn't type it out right.

Exactly. Some fellow in Iran is gonna get a quarter of a dollar. (as of the current exchange rate), while someone in Kuwait is gonna get $33k

I sit down IMMEDIATELY.

No way I am making it 24 hours. Bad ankles, bad knees, bad hips, bad back. Plus missing a small chuck of one of my thighs.

I could make it 3-4 hours in excruciating pain. But after hour 6, if my life depended on it, I would STILL collapse. So no point. Sit down now and save the pain.

My back hurts just thinking about it

I'm with you. I'm gonna laugh in the person's face who's offering.

Confident decline from me too. Maybe 20 years ago I'd have the energy and enthusiasm but now I'd just be wasting time even entertaining the thought.

Is walking ok? Leaning? Standing on one foot?)

I imagine (if those are alright) that I would try (and probably ultimately fail, if I'm being honest. I have bad hips and knees).

Clean_Student8612

1mo

Walking is fine. Leaning is fine, but as long as you don't break the 45° angle stipulation. Idk about leaning onto surfaces, tho. I never considered that aspect, but I feel like that's sorta not standing after a certain point.

queercellist

Have you worked a job where you have to stand all day? If I couldn't lean against something I'd be absolutely cooked after 2 or 3 hours.

Clean_Student8612

1mo

I have, and that's why I'd pass on this challenge. At my current job, there's a post where you have to be standing for 2.5hrs, I barely make it thru that.

unclejoe1917

1mo

I think if I could get a good poop out of the way and put on some comfortable shoes, I could pull it off. I'd just go out and do some gentle walking, take breaks to lean up against a building from time to time. I might even just see how many steps I can log or see if I can walk to the next county and back.

There was a Ridley’s Believe It Or Not where a person stood for years. He slept via a plank on a wall. Could have done it in my younger days, but couldn’t these days.

Clean_Student8612

1mo

That sounds like a terrible life, or he was a Conehead, dunno which. I could have done it 10yrs ago, maybe. Now, I'm also out.

I have 2 energy drinks in my fridge for emergencies, that should be enough.

Clean_Student8612

1mo

Energy, is be fine. Physically, I'd die.

toxiclord101

1mo

I would try it

Clean_Student8612

1mo

I would, but know I wouldn't make it.

drewkep7

1mo

Give me at least a 24hr notice to rest, take a shit and buy energy drinks. Then that would be an easy 10k if I am allowed to lean on the wall too.

Clean_Student8612

1mo

The lean is fine as long as you don't break the 45° angle.

three-sense

1mo

No go. I have pretty long legs and even when I worked standing 10hr shifts I had to sit during lunch. I’d probably make it 6-7 hours max.

Clean_Student8612

1mo

Tbh, same. I couldn't physically handle that.

three-sense

1mo

Maybe in my teens “about 20 years ago” I could approach this, but i know without squats allowed or quick sitting break I wouldn’t have confidence at all. Easy choice even if the money is enticing.

Kestrel_VI

1mo

I mean…I managed to fall asleep during a ruck march once, so I guess it’s sorta possible provided I can have someone lead me around to make sure I don’t walk into anything.

I’d accept, 10k would change my life, and the challenge itself would be enough to keep me going I think. I already work a 12 hour shift without really having a chance to sit down, so another 12 hours isn’t a huge stretch.

Clean_Student8612

1mo

I've fallen asleep standing up a few times, as well! It's a skill not many have.

I'm too old and busted up for that now, I'd probably die.

Kestrel_VI

1mo

Idk if I could sleep while standing, I’d probably fall over, but as long as I could keep moving I don’t think it’d be too difficult. Agreed that it wouldn’t be as easy as when I was younger though, I don’t have the energy to pull all nighters anymore 😂

vogajones

1mo

I've seen people do that. It's so funny. Just marching and dead asleep. I used to do it standing sometimes. Or leaning against a tree. But the walking/marching always made me laugh to see.

Kestrel_VI

1mo

I was definitely not the only one in my platoon to do that, but I’m glad it seems to be a universal experience 😂

Can I wear an exoskeleton suit? I feel like it would be easier if I could.

Mindofmierda90

1mo

Another hypothetical in which ppl are vastly underestimating the toughness of. Standing for 24 hours would be incredibly difficult. $10,000 isn’t enough to push most ppl through it. Can’t even do a quick squat? No way. The only way I could see myself doing it is if I had someone doing it along with me, motivating me.

Clean_Student8612

1mo

That was my thoughts, too. 24 doesn't seem hard til you're in it and tired as fuck, and 10k is a good chunk of change, but not worth all that pain and discomfort for me.

Mindofmierda90

1mo

It’s worth it if you can make it through. 10k is about 1.5 months salary. The issue is making it through.

IvanNemoy

1mo

This is a challenge I would take. Probably wouldn't succeed, but $10k for 1 day of discomfort with no downside? Worth the try.

Clean_Student8612

1mo

Even tho I know I'd fail it, I'm sure I'd try it if the 10k was sitting there.

EntertainmentSorry25

1mo

I would accept the challenge and beat it

Clean_Student8612

Good luck

geckobrother

1mo

I mean, on bad days, I already almost hit this as is, lol. I'd definitely do it for 10k.

Am I allowed to use performance enhancing drugs? If so, then I'll do it.

Uh, not unless you're already doing them prior to knowing about this.

$10,000 Korean won😂 = $7 American dollars

Even if it’s $10k USD this is a game for the young. My old knees and back would not last 2 hours. Anything more and I would be hurting for days. Hard pass

Clean_Student8612

1mo

Damn, I've even lived in Korea and should have known that. I completely forgot.

Coffey2828

1mo

The only reason i know this is because that’s how much my breakfast was every morning I was there.

Biscuitsbrxh

1mo

Easy 10k…

bugabooandtwo

1mo

I'm assuming you can still walk around and lean against a wall? If so, a 24 standing session can be done, but it won't be pretty.

Clean_Student8612

1mo

I'd say leaning against a wall is fine, probably not leaning on like a counter or something. As long as it doesn't break that 45° angle.

MooseLoot

1mo

I can’t poop for 24 hours? Hmmmmm… starting this right after I drop my last deuce. Huuuuuuuge advantage for men here (peeing)

Clean_Student8612

1mo

So you can poop, but you can't sit down or squat to do it. Gotta stay standing and can't bend more than a 45° angle in any direction.

Thebobert7

1mo

10k is not enough for that. No sleep and all that standing

Clean_Student8612

1mo

If you can sleep standing up, it's allowed.

Vireep

1mo

10k and ur not willing to stay awake for one night?

Thebobert7

1mo

I would be if it’s just that, but standing all day even to poop sounds miserable. And I’ll be so tired from standing it’ll make not sleeping so hard. I doubt I can do it

YeOldeWarthog

1mo

you can lean and sleep

zhombiez

I'll figure out a way to strap myself to a wall so my legs arent the thing keep me up, then id just play a game or something for tht entire time, maybe id pop a decent amount of benadryl and melatonin to sleep through it.

The worst part of standing is that it hurts since i have chronic pain, but if im strapped to a wall the worst thing is boredom, but that can be accomedated

Clean_Student8612

1mo

That's not really standing then, that's being strapped to a wall in a vertical position..

zhombiez

1mo

That's quiet literally standing if my feet are on the ground; id just figure out a way for the wall to hold up my weight instead of me so even when i wanna give out, im still held up.

Like going limp in a harness

Kestrel_VI

1mo

Helium balloons tied to you to take some of the weight?

zhombiez

1mo

Lol that works! I was thinking back pack straps attached to a wall, so although i'll be standing, my legs can go limp and i'll be standin
