Is this even a question? Mr beast knows a lot of people have roommates, right? Who have to live with each other much longer than 3 months??

I would do this shit in a heartbeat like god damn. Fuck rich people for making a game out of my life but I'll take literally 25 years of income in exchange for 100 slightly awkward days

Oh the "if one of you leaves you both lose" is how he'd fuck me

You don't live 2400 hours at a stretch with your roommate with zero breaks or outtimes, bro. I doubt you can even live with your SO that long without going out once. Even those in jail get to go out of the room every day.

IIRC there is a popular folk tale about this. A king was exasperated with his princess who got down bad for some peasant, so he locked both of them together in a room for a month and when they came out both of them had nothing but abject hatred towards each other.

I would have 0 problem with living like this, it's called "ignore each other" lol

What, am I not allowed to bring a mirror?

I remember an anecdote from The Expanse books. A crew of some ship were stuck in a room in some kind of emergency situation for months. When they were rescued, a handful of them formed lasting marriages, and the rest never spoke to each other again

It seems easy but for the clickbait views mr beast always does some dumb shit to annoy the contestant or make it 10x harder than it needs to be. I'd imagine they will make it hard to sleep/concentrate or some other dumb method to speed the process up.

Those lights may never go off. Not like bazingas like MrBeast value sleep much.

[-] alcoholicorn@hexbear.net 9 points 10 months ago

I sleep with a blindfold anyway.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 19 points 10 months ago

You trust a rich asshole like MrBeast to allow you to take any personal belongings in for his paid rat cage experiment?

[-] alcoholicorn@hexbear.net 8 points 10 months ago

My blindfold is a shirt whose fabric is stiff enough to not touch my eyelashes.

Surely we get to wear clothing?

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 19 points 10 months ago

I don't know. He might expect hospital gowns or some other way to further demean his inmates, I mean, contestants. Hooray if he doesn't.

Bet you $1000 they start blasting Guantanamo Bay tier music for 6-12hr periods before day 20.

"make it hard to sleep"

Dawg i have insomnia. At least i wouldn't be not sleeping and then working a 10 hour shift

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 16 points 10 months ago

I'm pretty sure he means literally never exiting the room for 100 days. At all.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
