  • After a long day, isn't it nice to hop into

  • a warm, relaxing bath?

  • You can soak up some suds and

  • spend an hour or so in there.

  • Now, what about spending 167 hours more?

  • While resting in the water,

  • your hands and feet start to become wrinkly,

  • compared to the rest of your body.

  • We used to think that the skin in hands and feet

  • absorbed water, and that's what made them wrinkle.

  • But research has shown that vasoconstriction,

  • a narrowing of the blood vessels

  • in our fingers and toes,

  • is the real cause.

  • It takes about five minutes

  • for skin to start wrinkling,

  • but how much more intense would those wrinkles become

  • if you stayed in the water for a week?

  • Could they become dangerous?

  • Before we get to those scary scenarios,

  • you can rest easy for a bit.

  • Enjoy yourself!

  • After all, this is a bath,

  • and that's kind of the point.

  • For the first couple of hours, you can

  • bring your rubber ducky and

  • play in this nice warm water.

  • Yeah you'll notice wrinkles starting to form,

  • but there's nothing to worry about

  • yet

  • Although they might look a little strange and

  • gross, they actually might be helpful.

  • According to a handful of studies from 2011 to 2013,

  • these wrinkles might

  • actually be giving us a better grip in the water.

  • So if you happen to lose your soap in the bathtub,

  • the wrinkles might be able to help you.

  • Okay now, it's coming up on

  • 24 hours out of your 168-hour experience,

  • and you're getting a little bored.

  • Your rubber ducky has deflated,

  • your laptop's dead, and

  • you're starting to feel some pain.

  • You'll start to notice

  • bubbles forming on your skin.

  • These are known as vesicles.

  • In this case, they're caused by the water in the tub

  • getting trapped between your outer

  • and middle layers of skin.

  • These bubbles will continue to form

  • the longer you're in the bath,

  • creating bubble filled skin, all along your body.

  • And as that happens, you're starting to get hungry.

  • Well it's unlikely you'll have

  • access to servants while you're in this bath,

  • so your best bet for getting fed

  • would be with a tube

  • filled with all the nutrients you'd need.

  • But then, you know what comes next.

  • You'd inevitably have to go to the washroom.

  • You'd either have to do it in the bathtub,

  • which would cause a number of disgusting consequences no one wants to know about,

  • or you could have a tube that disposes of all this.

  • So yeah let's go with that.

  • But as you've been thinking of all these

  • crazy ways to cope with your bodily functions,

  • you've been ignoring those

  • bubbles forming on your skin.

  • As time has gone on,

  • they've been slowly festering and growing bigger.

  • This will keep happening

  • until a couple of days into your bath marathon, when

  • they begin to burst.

  • Okay so, now your skin is starting to peel away.

  • And if you haven't been disposing of your waste,

  • you'll be in a pool full of fecal matter

  • with open sores all over your body.

  • Yes, this is the perfect way for you to get infections all over your skin.

  • Glad you asked.

  • Now if this isn't enough to worry about,

  • a couple of days into your bath, you'll start developing

  • bath sores.

  • These are similar to bedsores,

  • which happen when you lay in bed for far too long.

  • Since there's not much space to move around in your bath,

  • it could also tear your new skin bubbles,

  • creating even more sores.

  • As you're stuck in this bath,

  • most likely in incredible pain,

  • you'll realize that these sores

  • have been distracting you from something else that's happening.

  • The water has been getting colder the whole time.

  • If you haven't been adding in any more hot water,

  • and you don't have any way to sustain the temperature,

  • your bath could get dangerously cold.

  • If your bath temperature gets down between

  • 21 to 26°C (70 to 80°F), then

  • spending just a couple of hours in the tub could make you pass out.

  • Luckily it can't kill you, as the

  • temperatures just aren't low enough.

  • But if it goes any lower,

  • you could end up dead.

  • Sounds like unless you're heavily monitored

  • with proper nutrition, consistent fresh water,

  • and some way to go to the bathroom,

  • this will end very badly.

  • I got to admit, this is a pretty awful way

  • to spend a week.

  • I mean who planned this?

  • Well definitely not our friends over on Monday.com.

  • If we were using their website,

  • maybe we'd be able to

  • coordinate the building of a spaceship rather than

  • suffering in a bathtub for a week.

  • What I'm trying to get at is,

  • we could be more productive.

  • And Monday.com significantly boosts productivity.

  • Not just for you, but for your entire team.

  • Look at this, they've got a beautiful interface

  • that shows who's working on what, when it's due,

  • it allows other team members to collaborate

  • and helps everyone to create their best work.

  • Listen we get deadlines, we all do

  • and if you work in an industry with a ton of them,

  • Monday.com can make it so much easier.

  • It empowers your team to work their best, completely stress free.

  • Now even if you did manage to survive the stress of all this,

  • you'd come out a very different person.

  • I mean with your skin ripped all along your body

  • and most likely infected,

  • it's unlikely you'd survive

  • what would come shortly after you did get out of the bath.

  • Something you'd have a better chance of surviving

  • is if you fell into a pool of spent nuclear fuel rods.

  • Ya, really.

  • But we'll leave that story, for another WHAT IF.

After a long day, isn't it nice to hop into
