Re: 10 years in a basement for $10 million, what would you take with you?
Crazy hypothetical. But I love crazy hypotheticals.
http://boston.barstoolsports.com/random … -scenario/
You are being forced to spend the next 10 years of your life in a basement. After those 10 years, you will receive $10 mil. Your basement comes fully furnished with a good bed, sink, a toilet, a shower and a trash chute. You are also being given a bonus 30 points to spend on items/amenities that you can take with you to your basement. BONUS BONUS: If you half your $10 mil payout to $5 mil, you will receive 35 points to spend. If you reduce your payout to zero, you receive 40 points.
Re: 10 years in a basement for $10 million, what would you take with you?
Pretty easy for me. I can probably live whatever is left of my life once I get out for the $5 Mil, so I'll go that route.
Kitchen - 6 pts
Computer - 6 pts
Internet - 16 pts
Hygene - 3 pts
Medical - 2 pts
Skylight - 2 pts
If I were to take the 18 year old, I'd need the gun too for when I got sick of her attitude.
Re: 10 years in a basement for $10 million, what would you take with you?
Not sure I could make it 10 years with the limited supplies. I'd have to think long and hard. 5 million should suffice though.
I'd go
Kitchen - 6 pts
TV - 7 pts
Internet - 16 pts
Cell phone - 3 pts
Hygiene products - 3 pts
Re: 10 years in a basement for $10 million, what would you take with you?
18 - Sex
5 - Drugs
4 - TV Movies
2 - Satellite Radio
1 - Gun incase bitch drives me crazy
Wouldn't want internet, if no downloads/streams.
Re: 10 years in a basement for $10 million, what would you take with you?
Very interesting question. I think it always says something about us psychologically. I think the 30 pts and $10 mil is way too restrictive. I also opted for 35 pts, and $5 mil.
Here's what i'd take:
18-year old female companion -- 18 pts
Unlimited drugs -- 5 pts
All movies/TV -- 4 pts
Hygiene products & jacuzzi -- 3 pts
Doctor -- 2 pts
Microwave w/ unlimited meals -- 2 pts
Gun -- 1 pt
The way I see it is this. $5 million is just fine for money, you don't need more than that. I want the 18-year old girl for companionship more than anything. I've actually spent 'too much time' in seclusion and alone before, and it will make you go Nicholson in The Shining. Cabin fever is real. I've been there. The girl would provide so much more companionship. Alot of the men here have said "if the bitch drives me crazy"... the way I see it is considering her younger age, she's still adaptable to growing as a person. You two would eventually adapt to each other (obviously if you're not a complete fucking asshole and she's not batshit insane), and ultimately she'd be good for you. I'd want her to talk to more than anything so I didn't go mad, and the sex would just be a bonus for the two of us. I couldn't see any of it working if you didn't have another human there. If I didn't hear her annoying voice i'd go mad, not the other way around. The silence would kill me.
Drugs, to me are an obvious one. Not just illicit drugs, but all drugs. Regardless of your doctor, you're gonna need meds for various illness. Even with entertainment, you're gonna eventually lose it and you're gonna need to float away. Help with sleep, bodily drugs for repair, and just not giving a fuck anymore and doing drugs and fucking to pass the insane amount of time -- you're gonna need an edge.
Movies & TV I put on the list because I assume it comes with a basic TV and no cable/satellite. That's fine. If I have all movies and TV on DVD at my use, I would never get bored. Just program my own 24/7 network, year round. I kinda already do that. Rarely do I regularly watch new, daily TV anymore. Plus it'd help with you and the girl. She could watch what she wanted to be entertained (chick flicks, reality TV), you could watch you want (good stuff), and you both could watch porn. With this, i'd never need gaming or cable.
Hygiene & jacuzzi, is a definite. You're gonna want some way to keep clean and bath. Duh.
Microwave & meals. The way I see it is there are healthy microwave meals, I already eat them quite a bit, and I could easily live off of healthier ones for 10 years. I might hate it, but I could do it. I'd much rather do this and get extra points for other stuff. Both of you could eat this with variety, and stay in shape. 500 calories meals, and fucking, and doing squats, still fucking, should keep calories burnt.
Doctor, I threw in there primarily for the girl. I think if you're fairly healthy, the drugs would probably do well enough to keep you duct-taped together for five years. Headache relief, down to infections, down to mild pain relief, down to just flat out fuckin' heroin. Whatever it is could be used in moderation without a doctor's advice. But the girl would probably need a tunnel doctor (you know, for all my drilling... j/k), and it doesn't hurt to have a visitor to come by and talk about what's going on in the world, chat about various things, extra company. I'd rather have the doctor than the computer, internet or cell phone.
Gun... for eventual suicide. I don't believe you would make it with two people in there locked down, or with just you in there locked down. Seems like an impossible task that would eventually lead to insanity, regardless of the payday. 10 years? That's a long time. I think eventually you watch so much TV, fuck so much, that eventually you'd just be done. Down a shit ton of drugs, and if that didn't kill you, you'd have the rainy day option -- the Gun.

I dunno. Here in Oz there's not been a property crash so you're looking at $700k for a family home within an hours drive of a capital city.

Totally agree.
Aside from the "10 years without sex" aspect otherwise, it's also 10 years without face to face conversation...or depending on your options....any conversation....not a good idea.
I suspect it'd be liked an arranged marriage...even if you hated each other at first...after 10 years in that fucker you'd be like co-dependent on each other at minimum and probably in love or whatever.
Of course some of that decision depends on the hypothetical.
Like do you assume you go in single?
If you're trying to remain faithful to someone on the outside, then the temptation of being trapped in a privacyless space for a decade with an 18-28yo girl who is keen for limitless sex is probably a very bad idea 
Regardless of your doctor, you're gonna need meds for various illness.
This and the TV are two areas where it's not clear what you get.
If you order the limitless movies/dvd does it come on something to watch it - or are you forced into spending points on the TV or computer to watch them on - like otherwise they just shut you in with the discs and no system lol....
And same with the drugs....does the doctor come with anything he prescribes you need? Or does he just advise....like "you need morphine for that leg you broke off up the girl's butt...too bad you didn't order the drugs package...oh well...only 4 years to go buddy"
Hygiene & jacuzzi, is a definite. You're gonna want some way to keep clean and bath. Duh.
I think the basic package comes with a shower though.
Gun... for eventual suicide. I don't believe you would make it with two people in there locked down, or with just you in there locked down.
I dunno...people do 10 years in Jail...and if you choose right there's some decent perks here...like you can pick a hobby for limitless access...be it games/tv/food whatever..
Also depends if you can choose things more exactly. Like is it just a random 18 yo? Or is it like an 18yo who is a nerd and would be happy to play xbox for 10 years, or likes the same music as you or whatever....
What it really needs is some kind of "pick one day of anything free" option...like it'd be nice to have a drink once a year but to spend the points for limitess drinks all the time.

"Broke that leg off up the girl's butt" lmao 
I think in choosing the 18-year old, it's assuming that you're getting a stunning, sexpot. Like think of the hottest, young porno chick you can think of right now -- that's what you're getting. I think that's the point. I think if we're chosing 18-year olds, i'd rather have the sexpot, than the XBox girl.
And as for the suicide thing, yet there is prison, but this is like never ever leaving that room. That's got to drive you crazy, which is why a bunkmate/lover/assumingly eventually would become your common law wife, is why you'd chose that option.
When I mentioned suicide in mine, I was assuming we'd probably fuck so much and be so fucking high and done for by the end we'd never get to the money. In my head that's how I saw it. It might be cooler that way in some sort of poetic justice. I'd rather get 10-years of that and like truely know someone's essence than to even spend $5 million bucks. Those 10-years down there would be priceless, whether heaven or hell on earth.
