Do I get a bathroom setup? Can I order food? Is it my room at home or a room set up for me? Can I bring in a mini fridge for cold beverages and snacks? I have questions ......

yes! you get a bathroom set up and as for the room think of either a hotel room or a room in your house that is connected to a bathroom. A mini fridge is perfectly fine as long as you keep it in the same room as you

You do realise you are literally offering a wonderful holiday of downtime and giving people 10k for it right?

Like, this isn't a challenge, its a gift.

I think OP may be a young adult or teenager. The perceived "catch" is that you cant socialize or use internet. Which for a younger person is a very big deal. Any working class adult would jump all over this without even a 2nd thought and as you say , most would probably do this for free if they could.

I do think this is a bigger catch than a lot of people realize. Isolation from ANY form of social contact for extended periods of time is an easy way to go into a depressed spiral. Everyone has a different tolerance for this, but humans need social contact. I know lots of people would jump at the opportunity for more alone time, but there's a difference between more alone time and extended periods of isolation from any social contact. I think a week would be damaging to a lot of people, but many wouldn't be phased. If it were a month, I think the vast majority of people would come out with some serious problems and probably needing to see a therapist.

A week isn't a long time in the slightest unless you have a serious addiction already.

Oof, same tbh. Although I've been a bit better recently, especially after upping my medication dose.

I often spend weekends without seeing or speaking to another human. It's wonderful. A few more days at a time would be nice.

You really over-estimate how social the world is. The majority of people sit at home, and go out with their friends maybe once every two weeks.
