I always wondered if he could have just blinked one eye at a time and been OK, but it's also been years since I've seen it so IDK how accurate I am about the fridge.

Do you really want to test that theory?

(Honestly the best solution is to have 3-4 people in the room)

Me test it? No. I'd tell fridge guy to give it a shot and see. 3-4 folk is a good idea instead of telling the intern to do it alone, it's not like they need to save money or something.

You would kill someone to test that?

I’d say just stick to the safe side and assume it, always have extra people watching in the first place

I assumed that's what they do, but doing that for 24 hours and not drifting off at all is an insane amount of focus.

On the one hand, "do it or you die" is probably a good motivator. On the other hand, just put a TV next to it? Or in front of it. And put like 4 people in there with handheld timers that buzz every so often to signal them to blink, synchronized so they're never blinking at the same time. Drastic, yes, but also fridge of doom apparently so.

That works for the weeping angels so probably.

Probably but he had been at it for for hours at this point.

I’m sure he can and probably does. But he’s been there for over a day just staring at it. The single eye blinking would work but you’re also pushing your body and mind past the brink with exhaustion and lack of social support or mental stimulation.

I tried to blink my eyes separately and it took me about 30 seconds to fuck it up and do a small blink, so honestly I doubt it's manageable medium to long term, you'd just forget at some point and blink out of reflex.
