You guys are extremely confident that you could survive without basic necessities for two weeks. Prisoners in solitary confinement are still given some time out of the hole and time to use a toilet/take a shower, even go outside. And they're usually not stuck in that space for two weeks at a time.

You have no toilet or way to clean yourself in this situation. Your mind is the only source of entertainment/stimulation. But apparently all anyone on this board needs is a bed and a light switch to survive. Enjoy waddling in your filth and smelling your poop for 14 days.

I'm not surprised though. A lot of this board thinks it is okay with pressing a button to randomly kill 100 people around the world for a million dollars.


All cells have a toilet in them.

The toilet thing is a good point. It wasn't explicitly denied so we need a ruling on it.


No it's a shit point.

No toilet. You have a bed, pillow, and light switch only.


I'm overriding you right now. That was a incredibly dumb "point" of his.


But it's just a toilet. Apparently this board is mentally and physically fortified enough to go without one.

Sure you can poop on the food tray and have it removed but then how do you clean yourself? Sounds like an easy way to give yourself dysentery which only makes you more susceptible to further disease.

Forget about the poop. What about urine? What happens when you start peeing more than the provided cup's volume can hold? Urinating on the ground will inevitably make such an enclosed space stink. Sleep and mood would both be greatly affected.

And if you can't tell how long it's been since you have had your last meal or how long you have slept for that makes putting yourself to sleep all the more difficult. In the real world you're able to sleep because you have cues and a routine that interact with circadian rhythm. Your circadian rhythm will be completely gone when you have next to no sense of time and no way to tell how much time has passed. The only way you'll be getting sleep in this situation is from pure exhaustion.

Personally, I already suffer from constipation anyway, so there wouldn't be a lot of that.

As for the circadian issue, it wouldn't be such a problem for me: I have chronic fatigue *and* my circadian rhythms are
basically screwed up anyway. I rarely manage to sleep all night and be awake all day like "normal" people, and lighting doesn't have much relevance to whether or not I sleep, in my experience. My dyscalculia means I have very little sense of time, so lack of cues wouldn't be much different from my life already. Just yesterday I wished my evening caregiver "good morning" when she came in and woke me, before I realised she was the woman who came at night (someone else comes in the mornings), because I'd slept from noon to 8pm and it was still daylight. I have almost no sense of time, and I can sleep up to 23 hours out of 24.

So, for some of us it would be less difficult in certain ways than for others. Tbh I think I might welcome the break, if my bed were on the far side of the room from the toileting corner or whatever arrangement that is.
