Better to use something than nothing bro

I can't believe noone had any real suggestions...
You can still buy resistance bands and anchor them to the floor and wrap over your dumbbell as you press, increased load immediately.
You can attempt the same thing with chains, I would recommend this.
Now if you are really comfortable with being creative you can attempt to strap a weight plate to your 50lb dumbbell. Again, it may seem crazy but it can be done, here is an example image where they strapped mini weights to a dumbbell, that seems much harder though. I'm saying strap a 45lb plate on the dumbbell with a strap or rope, it's not impossible.
Desperate times, desperate measures.

Hmm, I do have a resistance band. That seems like a good suggestion. Is there a way to tell how much weight would equal a certain amount of resistance? I've considered also trying to wrap both dumbbells together, but one armed dbell presses on the floor seems complicated, and I don't wanna tear my rotator cuff

Agreed, offsetting that much weight unilaterally could cause some damage if you aren't used to stabilizing that much weight.
Resistance bands come from 20lbs all the way to 150lbs.
Here is a link for 100lb bands, they should be the weight range and length you're looking for.
