For $100,000,000 cash, they will put you in a coffin.

That’s the spirit lmao.

Waking up rich or not waking up at all hell yea

I'm not sure ... No sedatives drugs or alcohol. I can nap when the opportunity arises but for 6 hours in a confined space with added anxiety that I might not be getting out alive, I'm not sure how much sleep I'd be getting.

I would at least want practice runs, lid on but not nailed or buried extend periods over time as well as practise meditating. The last thing you want to do is wake up disoriented , not knowing time , no room to move to reposition (even if comfy coffin) think about how much we move in our sleep, and then start panicking thinking 6 hours is up and you're going to start suffocating to death...

Ever seen kill bill?

oh you won't die in your sleep. Fear from co2 buildup is one of the deepest rooted things in our brains, being the only recorded thing able to elicit fear and panic in those without an amygdala. You will die gasping for air in a several hour long panic attack, near the end being unable to comprehend anything but the sense of being trapped and overwhelming panic. It will be a TERRIBLE death.

This is the right answer. Bummer on the no sedatives though

Either way, you're part of the 1%.

Helll yea, I'd still take it even if they pulled from 6 straws

My corrective ear surgery is successful in 99% of patients. Wanna guess which straw I got?

Lmao

Yup its a 1% chance but it's a 100% chance for me.

Lmao bro I was just thinking that. My luck they’d draw that straw and I’d be fucked. It’s generational upon generational wealth, but that death would be horrific. I just don’t think I could do it

Found a website that did 1-100 on a spin wheel. I then went to google random number generator and chose a number 1-100. It was 79. This was the straw that would kill me. I spun the wheel, first time I was good, second time it hit 79. I don't like this game.

For those wondering, I used this website.

Glad someone else was thinking along the same lines. Those saying they'd nap are insane to me. Imagine that feeling of not knowing how long you were asleep with the addition that your life is on the line? That would drive me mad.

"How long was I out? It must've been at least a few hours. I'll just wait the rest out."

15 minutes of anxiety pass.

"Oh fuck, oh fuck, they definitely drew the short straw. That was at least another hour. HELPPPPPPP."

Total elapsed time: 53 minutes.

Simple. Memorize all the dialogue of a two hour movie. When you're in the coffin, recite the movie three times. Back in the nineties, I knew The Big Lebowski and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan by heart. I recited Wrath of Khan to my ex-wife on a long road trip. And that's not even the reason she's my ex-wife! Haha.

A very good meditation technique is to go somewhere with minimal distractions and sit for what you think to be 4 hours. No phone, watch, journal, etc. just focus on breathing, and do not fall asleep.

Around the 3rd hour it’s not uncommon to start having out of body experiences and hallucinations.

It’s really nice, you should try it.

Meh, you have to think about those people stuck in debris for sometimes days before they get rescued. I think most people here are exaggerating the 6 hours thing when humans have survived in much much worst conditions. Hundred millions? I be most would do it for 10 millions or even 1 million, get out of western world and most would do it for 100,000 or even 10,000.

Nothing says you can’t have a watch. The only time I take mine off is to charge, so it’s very much a part of me and my clothes. Same with “permanent” jewelry. It doesn’t say I’m going into the coffin naked, so my watch stays, lol.

My concern is it says “they draw straws” just how many straws are getting drawn?

Mr beast did it for like 24 hours I think

I think you’re vastly underestimating how physically / mentally difficult it would be to be in a pitch black, cramped space for 6 hours knowing that you can’t bail out of it. Many people could not do it, I’d like to think I could but I don’t know. I’m 100% sure I would be terrified as they nailed it shut.

Add on top of that, the whole six hours you’re wondering if you drew the unlucky straw. Hell, you wouldn’t even know if it had been six hours, so four hours in you might convince yourself that you’re never getting out.

It would be a horrifying experience.

The physical challenge is [arguably] easy...if you know which straw they drew upfront. The way OP worded it, you spend those six hours not knowing if they're digging you up or not. And that, for most people I think, would be hell.

Few of us are ever truly alone for longer than a few minutes nowadays: most people always have a phone or laptop or radio or tv on. Being alone in a room without entertainment for six hours would not be easy for most of us, but manageable. But solitary confinement, even over the short-term, has some wild effects on people, often unpredictably. I'm in mental health and sometimes work with people who have been in solitary, and let me tell you that even in the best of circumstances, it can be incredibly traumatizing. And humans are well-documented as having an INCREDIBLY poor perception of time when in total darkness, so you'd have no idea how long you'd been in. And six hours in a coffin waiting to find out if you're there forever?

I predict a fair number of folks would come out of that box with some degree of insanity.

You're assuming only one straw gets pulled. OP didn't tell us how many straws are getting pulled. We don't know how many people "they" are and I assume each of them would pull a straw. This is important information OP needs to tell us

I found my claustrophobia gang!

There's no way in hell I could do it. I'd die of a heart attack long before the 6 hours were up.

Right? This sounds like hell.

I got locked in my hotel bathroom and almost broke down the door. I started hyperventilating so that's already a no for me. I also got stuck at the end of a ride, the harness wouldn't release for our car, and had a panic attack in front of everyone waiting to get on.

Literally hyperventilating just reading the post

I don’t need the potential death twist. Even if I was guaranteed to be dug back up….no fucking way.

I need a Xanax and the aisle seat on an airplane and have to psych myself up to use that tiny-add bathroom. I can’t even put a sleeping bag back on it’s bag without losing my shit.

After raw dogging my MRI experience I wouldn't do that for billion dollars. It was awful and that was in an office with lights on and good air flow. No chance I'd do what OP is describing. He is basically describing one of my worst nightmares.

Similar here. Throw 10 more zeros onto that 10 million and I'm still not doing it. I didn't even get to the 1/100 chance to die part and was already saying no.

No

Never

How do I delete the memory of even reading ths.

This is how i end up with almost all of these. My biggest worry is that some drunk will tbone me and my girls will have to grow up without their dad.

But there's a 99% chance that none of them, including your grandchildren, ever need to work or worry about money ever again. You could throw that in a HYSA and earn $5million a year with no effort; proper investment will yield much more.

I feel like if i had a forfeit button I could go on longer, knowing that i could always get myself out. I can do 5 more minutes. I can do 5 more minutes after that...

Let's give them a fully loaded gun as their forfeit button then.

I think a lot of people say they would take this deal while sitting comfortably in not a coffin buried 6 feet deep. I'd bet a lot of "hell yeah I'd take that deal" people would reconsider when they start climbing into that coffin. People are much more brave when it's a hypothetical situation, and they tend to be a lot more timid when it comes time to walk the walk. I see it a lot in skydiving. Lots of people say "hell yeah" but when they start getting harnessed up, let alone to the door, all that machismo and confidence disappears.

I'd be interested in this challenge with the ability to forfeit. Theorically no one should actually die but there would probably be some really greedy people who would hang onto the idea that they're getting out with the money.

Imagine going in there thinking you got short strawed and it turned out you hadn't but you forfeited around 5 hours and 55 minutes or something like that. Just a crazy thought.

After reading your comment I tried it with mine and it was way of, but for the 1 sec there was an animation for the random number generator I got visceral fear of getting it. I'm not doing this.

But it's random. That's like going to a roulette table, placing your money for it to hit on 34, the ball lands in 35, and saying "man I was so close!". LMFAO

I also was concerned about HOW they bury you. Six feet of dirt is a LOT of weight. its not uncommon for coffins to break or pop open with the weight of the dirt. If theyre using a back hoe to fill in the grave, this becomes more likely.

So if Im guaranteed that the coffin wont break, that the air will last as long as it takes to bury me, have me down there for 6 hours, and then dig me up, and its a 1 in 100 chance of them drawing the short straw and leaving me there? Id do it. 100 million would change my life and my families lives, my friends lives! I could help so many people. I could stop living afraid.

Id take that chance.

Dis mufucka said “Doug up again” 😂😂

Doug

I'm with you. HELL NO.

Can we sweeten the deal with $10 dollars?

See, I’m going backwards on this. The cheap ass coffins break easier as you attempt to dig your way out of they get that 1/100 straw. I’d rather be uncomfortable for six hours and have a shot at surviving if I get fucked

Not trusting an offer like this is just good sense, I'd say.

"Do this challenge for $100M. There's only a 1% chance that we'll let you fucking die, we promise!"

Unless they bring a back hoe they probably can't save you. Digging up a 6ft down coffin will take hours.

This is the way :)

Gonna use up your oxygen bro

I’m pretty sure the expression “drawing straws” implies there is only one short straw and that straws are only drawn once. So you have a 1/100 chance to be stuck

I like your thinking on the matter. I reread the prompt, and it does appear that the deal is that the reward comes with the being buried alive, so hell yeah I'd do it with the 1% chance my wife gets the money if I die.

So oxygen tanks it is then
