15 ppl spent 40 days in a cave without sunlight or phones. Most want to go back

[Ubax45_]

Fifteen people have come out of a cave in southwestern France, where they spent 40 days without daylight, clocks and communication with the outside world as part of an experiment to study how well humans can adapt to isolation.

The experience of being so shut off from the world was (surprisingly) an enjoyable one, one of the 15 volunteers said and several added they wanted to stay in the cave longer.

The group had lived in the cave as part of a €1.2m (C$1.4m) project called Deep Time, lead by scientists at the Human Adaption Institute. Researchers said the experiment will help them better understand how people adapt to extreme changes in living conditions and environments

Two-thirds of the group wanted to stay underground longer to finish projects started during the stay, Benoit Mauvieux, a chronobiologist told the Guardian.

Assuming the ppl who volunteered are already digital minimalist or alternative types. Do you think you'd survive down there?

'It was like pressing pause,' said Marina Lançon, one of seven women to take part in the study called Deep Time

With all the Al-Fitnah going on all around us I think fleeing to live in a cave is a wise choice!

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "There will be afflictions (in the near future) during which a sitting person will be better than a standing one, and the standing one will be better than the walking one, and the walking one will be better than the running one, and whoever will expose himself to these afflictions, they will destroy him. So whoever can find a place of protection or refuge from them, should take shelter in it."
