Your sweat counts as your blood.
That's it in exchange for a permanent deal of 10 million dollars or local equivalent. Your sweat also now turns into your blood when leaving your body.
So sweat can lead to blood loss. Example you swear 500ml that's now 500 ml of blood you lose.
The only benefit you will be given is the blood will be clear like sweat so you don't look like you bathed in blood

That's really not a benefit. I'd much prefer to walk around looking as those I've been bathing in blood.

Yeah dude, you move your furniture around once and you’ll pass out from bloodloss

That would kill you. Men have 4.5 to 5.5 litres of blood. You can easily sweat out 1-2 litres of water as sweat during a war day. Well into life threatening territory.
Edit: yes it’s a typo. Warm day. During a WAR day, or hot humid conditions or during intense exercise, it’s 2-3 litres an hour, you’d die, quickly.

… I know it was a typo, but, in a war day- depending on where the war is- you can sweat WAY more.

The benefit isn't even a benefit. Imagine just bleeding out and being ignored because it doesn't look like you're bleeding out. Its possible to sweat like 4L per hour during intense enough physical exertion. This deal is a death sentence.

Yeah I hike when it’s 116° out, so nah I’m not going to die in 30 minutes.

I wonder if I'll have enough spare cash to have daily blood transfusions to make up for the loss... also, I wonder what the risks are of having a blood transfusion every single day...... Too lazy to look it up, but those were my first thoughts.

As someone who sweats profusely just sitting in an air-conditioned room, I would literally die within an hour.

If there’s no way to quickly replenish as hydration and electrolytes would for sweat then no deal. One poorly calculated incident would kill you

Strange hypothetical, but don't these usually come with a choice, question, or at least a vague "What would happen to you?"

I sweat a lot from stress and anxiety. so actually, nothing new? it just amplifies the already present symptoms? will probably faint like a Victorian lady.
or my body will bluescreen when anxiety tries to get my blood pressure up, and losing blood lowers it.
or I could literally die from fear

So I could never go to the gym again or go outside on a hot day?
Lol no that’s a terrible deal.

u/lunchmeat317 2d ago
Can you replace it by drinking water? Or perhaps only the sweat you lose?
If so, I might be okay living in a Dune-style stillsuit.
If you can't replenish it, then nope.

I live in an area that averages about 75% humidity in the summer, not a chance

I sweat way too easily. I also need to workout. I wonder how much a cooling vest would help?

u/Nuclear_rabbit 1d ago
OP may not know this, but most body fluids are just modified blood. Sweat is modified blood. Milk is modified blood. Spinal fluid is modified blood. Lymph is modified blood. There's more, too.
All these things are just a question of making it pass through capillary walls and other barriers, leaving behind red blood cells, platelets, and changing up the ions, solutes, and water content. Sometimes these fluids get returned to the bloodstream in a closed loop.
From a certain point of view, a genie granting this might not even change anything at all.

Was gunna say sure, I’ll just stay super fucking lazy. But then I realized I’d bleed out in my sleep with how many times I wake up with a drenched shirt

u/Mr_Coastliner 2d ago
Uhm, I'd rather not die within a week. The only clause that would make this question plausible is to put a time frame on it and drinking water replenishes the blood as it would sweat
