I’m going insane already what’s the difference
ITT: people forgetting that prisoners in the US are isolated like this, and it’s literal torture.
You’re not special.
It’s wild to me too because to do that to a patient I have to document every fifteen minutes how it would be an immediate risk to themselves or other people if I let them out and whether or not they’ve sustained any injury or are having any other medical complications. Every two hours I have to offer food, fluids, and the opportunity to use the bathroom. Every four hours I have to get a new order from a doctor and after twelve hours we have to notify the state. And I have to meticulously document ALL of this. The fact that unlicensed non medical personal can just… do it. No MD assessment. No monitoring of their hemodynamic stability. As long as they feel like. That’s fucking WILD.
Yep, I’d just exercise and sleep.
As someone who has (voluntarily) done 24 hours in solitary confinement with nothing but a blanket, a toilet, a concrete floor, and one meal a day, I don’t think anyone here will last more than 3 days. That was the longest, most painful 24 hours of my life.
I can’t afford 30 billion dollars, can I do it for free?

Hamatsu was challenged to stay alone, unclothed, in an apartment for Susunu! Denpa Shōnen, a Japanese reality-television show on Nippon Television, after winning a lottery for a “showbusiness-related job”. Hamatsu was challenged to enter mail-in sweepstakes until he won ¥1 million (about $8,000) in total. Hamatsu started with nothing (including no clothes), was cut off from outside communication and broadcasting, and had nothing to keep him company except the magazines he combed through for sweepstakes entry forms. After spending 335 days to reach the target, Hamatsu set the Guinness world record for the “longest time survived on competition winnings”.
Can I sit there for a day and get 82 million?
Think of it this way, new game.
First month you get $0.01, the second month you get $0.02, the third month you get $0.04…
Keep doubling that for each month you stay in this room, to a maximum of $1.5 Trillion after 4 years.
Each successive month has a 1% chance of resetting the clock.
How many months do you stay?
So I’m assuming I get food, water and a bathroom. Also a lightswitch though likely one I control myself so I can’t use it to gauge time. I’m probably not making it out fully sane but I think there are some mitigation strategies.
- Exercise, try and gameify it by keeping a high score.
- Arts and crafts with my food (maybe my hair too?)
- Some recreational math potentially using the grid of tiles, probably no more than 5 minutes a day before I get sick of it but any variety helps.
- Wall looks potentially climbable?
- Get good at shadow puppets.
I would just goon the whole year
If I were to do something so ridiculous for a full year for the full amount, I wouldn’t be doing it for me. There’s no way I would be able to spend 10Bn in my lifetime on things for me and my immediate family. I don’t think that’s even possible unless we were literally flushing money down the toilet, burning it, or throwing pallets of $100s from a plane while flying over a populated area.
I would use the 10Bn to create things like scholarship funds for colleges, where the only requirement is that you can prove you don’t come from money (and can afford whatever education you want without help).
I would also be donating large amounts to charities and good causes, especially FOSS and things like the Internet archive.
Above and beyond that, I’d likely use my newfound wealth to create a company that builds open source or modular hardware for things currently dominated by big tech. Like mobile phones, specifically Android phones, and supporting companies doing similar work like framework.
I would only take enough to pay off my house, all debts, and for a savings/income fund so that I can live comfortably for the rest of my life without needing to work, both for myself, my spouse, and some members of my immediate family.
While in the box, I would let me ADHD brain wander endlessly and entertain itself, until it gets bored or tired, then sleep and repeat that 365 times.
Exactly my thinking. For $30 billion I don’t care if I come out the other side a mindless husk. I’m leaving instructions before I go in about what to do with the money and improving as many lives as I can.
If I make it out with enough of my mind to enjoy some of it myself then that’s just gravy.
Do I get a dedicated cum rag?
You get two socks. You can chose which one to dedicate.
I don’t think I would even be sane enough to spend the money if I got out
i mean, a year is absurd, and that amount of money is meaningless.
how about i just stay in for a day and get 82million instead
vsauce did something like this for 3 days and he nearly lost his mind. i think 2 days max is all us regular people can do
Totally the YouTuber wasn’t playing it up or exaggerating for the engagement.
just cant be wrong ever huh?
If my opponent is named Vsauce I will have my doubts.
Yeah, the arbitrary cash amounts in these would you memes are always a little goofy, as if the creator thinks 30-billion is so high that anyone seeing it will start screaming “YAAASSSS GIRL!!” no matter what the challenge. 100-million would be just as effective to the average person. Maybe even 10-million if your wealth aspirations are not to buy a golden palace with twelve Lamborghinis and a rocket pad.
30 billion made me instantly go yes. I would be morally obligated to do it.
I’m with you. A day or two at most is all I would need to be set for life for anything I would ever want.
I like fancy tech, so I might stick around for a second or third day because fancy tech isn’t cheap.
People in my field refer to it as “backing up the money dump truck to (vendor) HQ” … Just to give some context.
how insidious a trap, thinking like that. you may find yourself stuck there for the year after all! /s
When will Mr Beast make a YouTube video of this challenge?
It’s a win if it gets rid of him for a year.
Practice meditation for a year and have enough money to actually make a difference in this world after. Sounds ambitious but I think I’d have to give it a shot.
Why go out ? I would buy the place and stay there so everyone can fuck off.
what if you get bored
If I get bored I go to sleep. Sleep all year, free food, can do pushups, learn to whistle, yoga training, imagine you have a piano and practice piano in mind, play chess in mind, invent fucking game rpg story and characters. That’s from top of my head, not sure if I can manage to do this in a year, need more time.
