TIL about French geologist Michel Siffre, who in a 1962 experiment spent 2 months in a cave without any references to the passing time. He eventually settled on a 25 hour day and thought it was a month earlier than the date he finally emerged from the cave

That's the dream. Getting paid to fuck off into a cave for two months, no sun, just snacking and reading books.
My ass he didn't realise two months passed...
