Come for the absurdity, stay because you've clearly got nothing better to do with your life.

I can hold my breath for 30 seconds. If I know it's going to happen I'll prepare with a full lung.

I assume I won't be sent to something like the marianas trench where the pressure either coming or going would kill me, and since after the 30 seconds I'll be dry even if I mess up and take in some seawater worst case it will be a terrible few minutes of gasping when I'm back.

Edit: I have no idea how "I won't be sent to", got turned into "intelligent" by autocorrect.

Marianas trench would crush your chest cavity and blowout your eardrums, so I dont think you'll survive 30s there.

That was an autocorrect issue. I literally said "I won't be sent to" and somehow my voice to text changed it to "intelligent"

I literally meant that assuming that the rules of the game didn't mean you would be instantly killed, then you had an incredibly high chance of surviving.

I did struggle to read it :(

Agreed, if there is no teleport into insta-death, its definitely survivable.
