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.

    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’d do it too. Here I am working my ass off for the next 30 years to save maybe $1m for retirement and someone’s willing to just give it to me after 48hrs of suffering? No brainer. I’d ask questions about the plan to keep it safe of course, but if I was satisfied that they knew what they were doing, I’d do it no question. I’m surprised that most are saying no to this. I mean shit, at least try.
