If it were any two of us on day 100 we would be so deep in some obscure struggle session we'd be like "go away we're not done arguing".

indoor cars struggle session let's go

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 69 points 1 year ago

cars shouldn't be outdoors, therefore the only logical place for them is indoors

All beds will be those sick racecar beds under socialism.

The left wants to take away your big beds with your beautiful wives smh

it's for their own safety, and ours. Any cars found outdoors should be captured, spayed, and impounded.

I would not trust the dude to not put me in the cube with a plant who walks out on day 99 just to watch me break down for the views

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 45 points 1 year ago

Reality TV brain's byproducts made "influencers" like him over time, so it's pretty likely he would do that for clicks.

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

[-] GorbinOutOverHere@hexbear.net 73 points 1 year ago

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

[-] people_are_cute@lemmy.sdf.org 35 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] GorbinOutOverHere@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

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

So much of that creepy saccharine ghoul's antics involve flicking his pocket change at the peasants to see them scramble and perform for him.

This is Rockefeller shit all over again. capitalist-laugh

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 60 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

100 days doing nothing for a guaranteed $250k seems kinda easy tbh, biggest concern I'd have is whether the second person is a fool or not because like 14 weeks is fucking nothing.

[-] GaveUp@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago

You sure? I feel like this is really difficult unless somebody already like literally never goes outside and never opens their curtains for weeks at a time

[-] charly4994@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

I've gone like actual months without leaving the house and even this I couldn't handle. No privacy, obnoxious lighting that'll trigger a migraine in a heartbeat, no entertainment. Just sitting day after day staring at the wall because the stranger and you had a falling out on day 2.

i hate this, and i also hate that my answer is "yes"

[-] Llituro@hexbear.net 38 points 1 year ago

i'm going to choose not to hate that my answer is yes, capitalism has my sorry ass trained for nothing less than feel miserable all the time, might as well get a house out of the deal y'know

[-] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 55 points 1 year ago

Would you shoot mr beast for fifty bucks?!?

no i'm genuinely asking, would you? hmu

[-] roux@lemmygrad.ml 31 points 1 year ago

Fifty bucks is fifty bucks.

[-] emizeko@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

I would pay way more than fifty bucks

What if we get Mr beast to lock himself in a room with Jake Paul and say whoever makes it from now on will be the only content creator on YouTube. Then we just never let them out and turn off the Livestream.

If your source of entertainment is putting people through misery to test how desperate they are for money then I don't give a fuck about whatever good PR he may have, he's a ghoul.

So it's just a soft prison and you come out richer? I could afford the therapy I need after something like this, as well as the therapy I likely need already.

[-] Llituro@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

i just want to know if there's anything to do

[-] GorbinOutOverHere@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

Not even prison this shit is jail

The $500k is a lie

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 44 points 1 year ago

nah, id have to interact with mrbeast and id rather die than do that.

[-] Cummunism@hexbear.net 44 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

that immediately tells you how much he would make from it. Probably 5 times that amount. Plus he would probably find some real abhorrent people to do it, like people who don't shower or something.

gulag the youtubers.

He sucks so much lol

Yeah, actually this seems like a dream for me, would be a super easy win as long as the other person doesn't get tired of me. Can I actually just move in, without the cameras?

[-] Moss@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago

I'm gonna do this because if you lock me in a room for 100 days with someone either we fuck endlessly or kill each other. Either way it will be unmonetisable

Japan has been doing these type of 'game shows' for decades.

The west is just now catching up , see The Eggplant show.

Depends, what months will this take place? If it's November and December then count me in, this sounds way better than spending the holidays with my family

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 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

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

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
