Will you live like a fish but without the gills?

Asked by mazingerz88 (28826points) May 8th, 2011

Say a trillion dollar underwater experiment needs volunteers, would you agree to live in a small “village” under the ocean for at least a year?

As long as I can be the crazy neighbor within the underwater community.

I think I would like to try that.

It wouldn’t work for me right now, but at a later point in my life, that would be awesome.

In an instant. But can it be longer than a year?

How do I breath without gills? It would depends on that. Probably yes.

You mean like a cetacean?

I’d love to. That would be fun. But I’m worried about finding another job at the end of the year. The economy still in the can. So I don’t think I want to give up my job right now.

No problem, I can start tomorrow.

Me too…I need to get away from everything for a while…and a trip to space is too expensive.

Sure. Does it pay? That would be a bonus.

A year is just too long, but I’d like to try it for a few weeks

Sure, that would be a cool experience. What would this village be like?

wundayatta's avatar

I wouldn’t. No matter how many lights they set up, there would be no getting around the fact that we were living completely without sunlight. Without sunlight, I’d get depressed and then I’d probably kill myself. No. This is not for me.

I would love to, but my wife would probably feel too confined.

I’d like to be under the sea in an octopus’s garden in the shade.

@Answerbagger after a year on an undersea research station you’d probably return able to get a far better job than you have now.
