    90 days forced to remain sitting or standing, wearing a dry suit that will reek of rancid BO, dirty butt and farts before the end of day one, unable to lay down to sleep. Unable to even have a shit if the sea state is too high and you can’t open the hatch without flooding the boat for a few days.

    Fuck. That.

      This is taking masochism to a new level. He can, of course, do what he wants. But my god this is a dumb idea.

        Bro is larping the experience that many unfortunate Africans had some centuries back. For fun.

        I wonder how hard it would be to explain that to one those people, if you had some sort of magical telephone to history.

        Just explaining things to ppl from the 90’s would be pretty hard

    100cm?

    No human would say that. Any real person would say 1m.

    Or if you’re a human USian, something like 1/2 fridge or 6 big gulps

      Yeah that’s clearly 1 000mm!

      Joke aside: I use mm in woodworking as a main unit because it’s my margin of error (±1mm). In this case cm makes sense for me

    I get this is an endurance test, but this sounds miserable. Not being able to lie down for 3 months would be awful.

      This is like being stuck in a porta-potty for 3 months. Sure, less megayachts, but we need these only slightly more than people climbing Everest.

    That’s not a boat, that’s a fishing bobber with extra steps.
