if you had the option to be immortal, would you take it?

No way, I don't even want to be alive in July

>>734707456
No thx Ajin already showed me eough

I dont believe i would. Doeth thee immortality include permanent mental health? Or is it like at 80 you get senile?

I already had. Demooo, it wasn't ever my choice.

Yes, If I'm immortal at my current age and wouldn't age in any way

>>734707456
Well if I was I could solve a lot of worlds problems with violence and not being able to die in the process.
On the other hand I would lose any kind of reason, because the people I know and love die but I keep going on and I would never feel threatened.

>>734707991
this

>>734707456
Ya

>>734707815
assuming people get senile because they are mortal assume eternal youth as well

>>734707456
I would rape all of them

>>734708046
That would explain the bible.

>>734707456
No, life already really sucks why would I want to live forever and never know the sweet release of death we're meant for?

>>734707456
I already achieved that.

>>734707456
I might take it, but only if I had the option to kill myself if I wanted to.

Yes i want to experiance all life has

Yes, I'd rob banks using a stapler to amass a large amount of money, then hide it all away. After that I'd turn myself in to live out my multiple life sentences. Then when I get out, I'll be able to live in infamy, make money writing books on my life and history, and basically be payed to be an immortal, irl shitposting Hunter Thompson.

Yes.

I want to learn everything.

Be on the first rocket to the stars.

Taste a supernova.

Watch in awe as it all ends.

>>734708340
but inflation

Yes, but only under certain conditions:
>I remain "mortal" (need to eat / drink / fight diseases / avoid deadly wounds)
>I do not age
Additionally I'd order any life support to be cut in case I fall into a coma.

I guess I'd become a historian. Or strife for political power. Maybe also the first mission commander for an inter-stellar mission. With life and potential being limitless, my achievements would be as well.

Nope. I was born a human and have already accepted life as a human. If I were born immortal then I'd accept being immortal. If I were to suddenly become immortal I'd witness the loss of everything I love, and I ain't got no time for that shit.

>>734708340
Life sentence means until you're fucking dead, idiot.

>>734708591

If I was immortal, I'd use my time to learn about the reality in which I was created in, hopefully someday able to escape it's bounds and ascend in my knowledge of the infinite perspective forever.

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

>>734707456
Yes. Hoping for life extension technology to be around in a few decades.

>>734708707
Rockets are still all we have to escape Earth's gravity.

Got a better method? Enlighten us.

>>734709034
that's not gonna happen and if it does, not only will it be delayed by decades like any medical and technological breakthrough of today, but it will be available only to a handful of people that you don't belong to

sorry bud

>>734708660
Fuck those countries.

>>734709159
Currently no one has a better method. But it's common knowledge we won't get there with chemistry.

>>734707456
Yes, the spend eternity helping mankind better themselves while secretly creating my own harem. No less than 100. That way I will always have lolis that will age into younguns that will age into teens that will age into young adults that will age into adults that will age into milfs that will then get kicked out for being too damn old. The ones who leave must bring a replacement that is their age when they first arrived.

>>734707786
Agreed

>>734709258
Wrong.

Composites are applied chemistry. You generally start there and work your way up.

>>734707456
Only if that immortality included youth and health. If it does.... Then yes I would.

I have nothing tying me to the present that I won't soon lose anyhow. Health concerns prevent me from doing much of anything.

Without the worry of degrading health, and without the worry of old age and the eventuality of death.... I'd be free to do anything.

Eternity would likely wear on ones mind eventually. Who could say what the ultimate price would be. But I'd be willing to accept the consequences.

>>734707456
even the universe will die eventually, inmortality is impossible

There's a dozen movies that are proof that being immortal would suck ass, so...no.

No, I'd rather be the opposite of alive forever

>>734708591
I have no live. Life sentence is instant.

>>734708943
Like Brian Boitano

>>734708964

You mean to kill yourself?

You could do that now.

>>734707456

Think about that.

I would just chill for all eternity. Try whatever, do whatever.

>>734710241
Ok neil

>>734710011
In time, the safe will rust. Hopefully your immortality makes your muscles immune to atrophy from extreme disuse. You'd escape eventually. A few hundred, maybe a few thousand years. Ultimately a small blip on the scale of your now immeasurable lifespan. As long as your sanity holds out that is...

>>734707456
Probably not, having to work for an eternity just to survive would get very tiresome. Also watching society degrade even further into retardation

I already want to kill myself so how would becoming immortal help me?

Do you idiots even think?

>>734710521
>survive
You're immortal. There is no more surviving. All you do is exist.

And invest some money you fucking pleb

>>734710241
Unless your lack of motivation stems at least in part from a notion (real or imagined) that you have no future, and thus all effort is merely an exercise in futility. Youthful, healthful, immortality would eliminate what's been holding you back all your life.

>>734710521
>Immortal
>having to work to survive
are you retarded?

>>734710521
but if you couldn't die you wouldn't have to work to survive

>>734710676

You being considered isn't top priority.

>>734710676
Do you really think this is all about you?

>>734710317
Take a second.

Not to underestimate your consciousness, but sleep on it, please.

Try thinking about the things you haven't done and want to do, the fact that you haven't done them, and how the haste, in terms of time difference would change if you were told exactly when you were going to die, that you were immortal, then consider the fact that your life has an expiration date.

>>734710906
>>734710892
I'm pretty sure you guys will just cease to exist when I decide to off myself.

>>734710793
I'm a little drunk, but I really want to understand. could you rephrase this? please man.

>>734707456
yes, without thinking it twice

>>734711109
if your lack of motivation is because you think you have no future, being immortal would give you motivation, since you've got all the future you want

>>734711109
>>734711252
for example, you could become the best at any task in the world

>>734707456
We already can, but none of the autists here are smart enough to figure it out in their lifetimes.

>>734707456
It would be fun at first, being able to basically do whatever I wanted. However, after the first couple of hundred years you'd get bored and would have seen most of what is interesting on Earth; you'd become numb to what goes on around you because you've experienced the same shit for so long. Once the human race goes extinct and you're the last one, what now? I'd say once everyone's gone it'd be better, peace of mind and all that jazz. Once you've enslaved your 3000th beaver colony, what next? What if there's a freak accident and you happen to be stuck under rubble indefinitely? Once the Earth starts to crumble around you, there'd be nothing left to do; you can't go anywhere considering you have no thrust meaning you'll be in the same area for millions or billions of years. The thought of endless stargazing is tempting, but after hundreds of years you'd get sick of it. Once Andromeda collides with the Milky way it'd be spectacular to experience, but what next? Once the universe thins out into non-existence what would you do? Starring into vast nothingness sounds horrible. After a while I'd want death.
Sure it sounds great in the short term, considering you have billions of years for the universe to collapse but once it does you'll be floating in space unable to do anything.

>tl;dr No

>>734711252
Ohh Gotchu, gotchu.

But let's say that if you were immortal. your desires, for example, be it, helping others. - what if one day you decide to put it off? Like "oh, I'll just do it tomorrow." , knowing that there always will be a tomorrow. "I'll do it tomorrow."

The fact that you literally have an unlimited amount of time; woult that not, at some point, spark a sense of conscious complacency?

Well, if I'm immortal, what's stopping me from flying up to space and just floating about to new planets? It would take millions of years, but I've got time right?

>>734711327
IF, you decide to devote your time to such a task

>>734707456
all of us have always existed. not always here though.

Watch this first

I think there is a fair amount of paradoxical questions regarding this topic:

-Can I outlive the Universe? If I can, then, where would I be or how can I exist in nothingness. If I can't, then there is no true inmortality.
-Will I stay forever young, as an amorphous being of no age? I mean, you could be inmortal with a body that still goes through natural decae.
-If we're talking in Dr.Manhattan's terms, then could the same energy which brought me alive destroy me? Could a supernova turn me to the molecular dust I already am.
-If we're stating about a more abstract type of inmortality, we could ask how a being, under natural terms, be truly alive.

Also: No. I would never choose inmortality. The being I am would die in the process of transformation into the eternal self, and I enjoy the fear of death which pushes me forward to live.

>>734711577
dont you think you'll be able to find ways to clone yourself? replicate immortality into someone else?

>>734711727
Depends on what you mean, do you mean that like we were all stardust at some point? If so then yeah, we were, but like what defines a human is consciousness and unless stars had consciousness then I dunno about that

>>734711780
>Beyond Thunderdome

>>734711640
Being immortal doesn't automatically give you the ability to fly or travel through space without a vehicle.

>>734711883
GAAYYYEEEEEEEEEE

>>734712014
i mean we are eternal beings and being a human on Earth is a temporary thing. or so some of us believe.

>>734712005
Replicating immortality into someone else would, in my mind, be the harshest form of punishment. Having to live out the universe and beyond all because someone wanted you to sounds horrible

>>734712079
I see, but if I were immortal, wouldn't that mean I could not die at all? So I could just walk to the bottom of the ocean or fly a rocket into the sun?

>>734712079
Yeah but if you had enough thrust to leave earth and beyond you could, in theory, travel forever considering there's no friction in space. There's a reason meteorites and such travel really fucking far

>>734712211
According to some religions, yeah that happens. However it's up to personal opinion

>>734707456
No, without death life has no meaning. Being unable to die would take any urgency away from an action, essentially causing one to fall into a coma for the rest of eternity.

>>734712393
of course. to be clear i've come to this belief by way reading about of a lot of near death experiences.

>>734708227
this

>>734712674
I think I read somewhere that when someone is about to die they're occipital lobe (the one that controls images and visuals etc) goes crazy and the person experience flashes of light and vague visuals etc. Not too sure about the validity of this however so take it with a grain of salt.

It would be an honor.

>>734708227
yup

>>734708227
This.

I don't believe the "noone is made to life forever, you'd get depressed af" bs many movies and books give you. The world is changing so much and I forget so much of what I learned of it every day that I could definately live forever w/o getting bored.

That beeing said I would not imagine floating in nothingness after the world/universe has ended would be much fun.

If I could add the condition that I could end my immortality at will then yes absolutely.

I'd probably be around a couple million years maybe to the end of the universe if I haven't gotten bored.

Witness whatever crazy shit happens at the end and then let myself die.

Or float around for a while if I can exist without a universe and wait for it to happen all over again.

Sounds fuckin dope.

>>734712967
That's true, a lot of shit would change over the years. However after witnessing your hundredth war I'd say it'd be getting pretty repetitive

>>734712967
All of this. Sign me up.

>>734707456
Lmao. Imagine outliving the stars, then the red dwarf carcasses of stars, then the neutron ghost of stars, then the black dwarf memory of the ghost of stars.

Imagine even beyond that, outliving the stability of atomic nuclei when iron and nickel finally alpha decay. Then beyond that when the elementary particles destabilize and you are left in a truly black void.

Finally at some point where the time measured in years is so large that it can't be written down in long form within the available space of the current observable universe things finally stop happening. Somehow, by some other worldly force you are maintained, presumably against your will, dammed to exist beyond time. You couldn't even say your floating because all relativity has abdicated to an all homogenous, all cold universe.

>>734711640
Guessing you don't get bored easily. I mean, if you can travel billions upon billions of light years without ever doing anything else, that's more autism than patience.

>>734712217
what if you get married and your kids are also immortal?

>>734713207
You could live a million lives. Assuming your immune to bullets could you imagine the possibilities. I would be in raqqa right now with an assortment of surgical tools and knives. If i was ever caught by multiple guys I would have a device that would set me on fire to avoid capture. My only concern would be attaining power and directing humanity in the right scientific direction so i can either transcend dimensions or create some sort of time slowing simulator to live in once the universe ends.

Just kill me now.

You read all those stories about people getting struck by lightning 13 times and surviving, reading about how incredibly lucky they are to be struck that many times as well as survive; to think that if you were to live forever coincidences like that would happen all the time. You'd experience everything, you'd be the luckiest and unluckiest person on Earth.
The one in a billion chance that I'll experience something incredible would happen, all the time.

>>734713263
I would try and scientificaly force humans to somehow transcend these fates but worst case I can simply make myself brain dead or something. Some sort of eternal sleep I could float for eternity in that state.

>>734713263
There is no such thing as true immortality. Sure, you can be biologically immortal and maybe find some way to survive in the sun or a planetary apocalyptic scenario, but things with infinite density such as black holes or untold power like the extended expansion of the universe tearing everything apart would kill you no matter what fantasy you try to project onto reality, let alone the decay of the last elementary particles (you are MADE of those particles).

>>734713475
Thinking about it now actually sounds really fucking fun, temporarily fun at least. Running around doing anything you ever wanted, as well as the shit you'd never think would be possible sounds incredible

You know there is a youtube channel that talks about this scientifically. The guy's name is Isaac Arthur and he does a vid every week. Its typically a serious discussion about future tech/engineering with comparitively rigorous studies applied. Even his more speculative episodes are elegantly done. He has a video called "Civilizations at the End of time". I won't go too much into detail because I think you'd really enjoy the 30 minute watch yourself. Worth the time if you ask this anon.

>>734713394
Well that'd depend if being immortal is a gene thing, and if it was a gene thing if the gene controlling immortality was recessive or not. If it was recessive then your children wouldn't be able to get it because the mother wouldn't have the recessive gene either (if I remember my biology class correctly that it)

>>734707456
Absolutely. It would give me a reason to actually do great things.

>>734713571
Or you could, you know, die. It all accomplishes that same end, really.

>>734712296
The gravitational influence of extremely massive bodies is often underestimated. The pull from the sun alone stretches much further than you'd think. The same would be true of any celestial body you come near enough. Every particle of dust you hit would slow you down. Even things like stellar winds would influence your speed and trajectory over time. And unlike an asteroid, you have very little mass, and thus, very little inertia.

You would need some means of propulsion if you want to get anywhere interesting.

>>734707456
Only if it meets certain rules.
>~20 physically while immortal
>can still eat, drink, sleep, breathe, whatever but don't need to and will always be in the best possible shape regardless

And the big one:
>can eventually switch it off reverting to normal aging from that 20 year old age and eventually dying of old age or whatever, once off it stays off
>once off all benefits aside from the immortality itself and those that specify "while immortal" remain
Immortality has a very real risk of becoming an inescapable prison where the bars on the doors and windows are life itself. If I'm going to die I'd like to die of old age with people wondering how the fuck some crazy "90 year old" guy is more physically fit than most 25 year olds.

>>734713702
I mean I don't think its against the rules to create some sort of Martix esque simulator that erases my memory and lets me enjoy life as a new experience over and over again. Could also induce a vegetable state if there were no other options. Still technically alive but not forced to endure mental torture.

If that also means invulnerability, Bruh.

I would go full Grand Theft Auto in the city, go to the middle east and fuck shit up, go to Africa and fuck shit up.

I know that I would go fully batshit insane with that, murdering innocents, robbing banks, the works.

I also know I'd get bored of that eventually and do normal things people talk about doing if they were immortal.

Then right back to killin'.

Kind of like the way I play GTA, when I get bored of doing missions I'll save and go on a rampage.

Then I get bored of that and the missions interest me again, rinse and repeat.

I would do so much horrible shit.

Is immortal like, by age? Or can I take a bullet but die if heads get smashed? Or I'll be reformed from any cell if my body gets destroyed?

No, the main reason is that you will basically be stuck in purgatory forever. When earth is gone that is

Well if I have thousands of years I can easily be the richest person on earth via interest in that time and presumably the most powerful. So considering i would be the richest person on an earth of humans 3 thousands years more advanced than us I don't think thats too farfetched.

Well since I replied to the other dude I'm assuming there is no more earth for whatever reason and you're already in space.

You'll start picking up speed one way or another, all you need is time.

And time is all you have.

Or just got hey nasa I'm immortal launch me somewhere.

Done.

>>734714032
The trend is in our favor for living longer lives than our predecessors on average. But that's a far cry from immortality. And average lifespan increases are often attributable to things like reduced mortality from preventable diseases. Hell, the biggest increases in average age of death came with the invention of vaccines and modern prenatal care. The drastic drop in infant mortality was incredible. We weren't living to older ages, we just had fewer people dying young.

>>734707991
>Well if I was I could solve a lot of worlds problems with violence and not being able to die in the process.
Being immortal does not make you intelligent, you'd fuck everything up all too easily with that attitude.

>>734714784
Yes but only relative to our technological capacity. Im counting on humanity not bombing itself back to the stone age and technical progress to never grow stagnant. Both of which are big maybes on a large enough timeline.

I don't care how you get hold of an ion engine, strap it to your back etc

>>734714868
Yeah the biggest roadblock is getting over the degradation of DNA upon splitting. Its essentially how people die of old age and has a pretty clear ceiling around 125-140. Technically though every human in history has died from lack of oxygen to the brain. Cellular degradation is just the only problem out of our grasp.

If I were immortal Id train myself in combat and go into every war I could and end them in style. Id make myself to be the new achilles without a weakness

>>734714862
For me spending thousands or million of years in total isolation just to see another desolate rock planet doesn't seem worth it. Putting people in dark isolated places are used as a punishment..

>>734715087
Except being captured. Then you would wish you could die.

>>734715148
You'd probably get used to it eventually or figure out some way to pass the time.

Humans are great at adapting.

>>734707456
Fuck yeah.

I'm spiteful and curious. Both which would benefit greatly from being immortal.

>>734707456
not the way i experience things in this life, that's for sure. i haven't lived for 100 years and i know everything stops being interesting eventually. and 100 years isn't a drop in the bucket of eternity, nor is a trillion.

>>734707456
>from the viewpoint of any sentient creature, the universe matters as long as the sentient creature exists in some way, if it doesnt exist nothing matters anymore. this is why we have the drive to reprodue, because at least a part of us survives.

would i take the chance to trascend this problem entirely and also be able to gain infinite experience? yes, definitely and without looking back. more time is the only thing worth fighting for in the end.

>>734707456
everybody who's saying no stop lying to yourself...
i would literally do any fucking thing to be immortal

>>734713612
What do you not understand about a hypothetical?
did you not see the word otherworldly in the text?

autism detected.

>>734708572
but if you're immortal, you've got all the time there ever will be, so you sure do have time for that shit :D

>>734707456
of course, how is this a question?

>>734715471
>otherworldly
>autism
pot calling the kettle black, you're both autistic.

>>734714226
That whole article you linked basically said the "prophecy" is bullshit... Are you arguing the opposite?

>>734707456
I'd be immortal if my mind doesn't go. I could kick some major ass with 200 years of endurance, strength and speed training. Bullets be damned! I'll punch your fucking head off your shoulders!

I don't know if I'd wanna be immortal, I don't really have the will to live or die, or just exist in general.

>>734707456
Eternal youth yes
I'm unsure of eternal decomposition though

>>734714840
jack wasn't truly immortal though. He did end up dying, but not until he'd long since morphed into the Face of Bo

>>734716517
It was never confirmed that he remained dead. Remember, he died for 3 days when Abbadon "killed" him.

>>734716517
face of boe ended up dying in Gridlock, gave up the last of his life essence to save all the people on the planet.

Immortal, everlasting, and eternal are all different things. Ponder that....

>>734707456

Sure

Yes. I will watch the universe die and recreate itself an innumerable number of times. Beings will think of me as a god. I will learn nearly all of the secrets of the universe.

Every grain of sand on the beach before me will represent memories of things long gone and futures to come.

>>734708340

no. the watches are cheap and low quality, they charge you "a lot" for shipping, and that's how they make money. it's something to do with how the freight works in china. google "free watch scam".

you could probably buy them and get a half decent looking watch for $10, if you don't care that it's fake

whenever I need to get over a retarded thing I did in the day, I go to threads like these to see just how cringy and retarded people are with the simplest concepts and it overshadows my shame. thanks /b/.

>>734718004
i just replied to a bot, never mind me

>>734718084
someone needs to go to bed

If I'm still able to feel physical pain then no, imagine getting kidnap by some creep and then get torture without dying? Hell naw

>>734707456
Yeah, I'd use it to police the world, killing one dickhead at a time until everybody realises doing something morally wrong meant you would be pursued until death by someone you can only run from.

>>734708489
I'd be immortal as long as I was still mortal

>>734718331
The human body is a magnificent machine.

If put under extreme duress for long periods of time it's been show to actively disregard the pain because it's normal.

Look up camp 731 diaries and read about it. As fucked up as it is, they did science that proved some good shit.

So eventually it wouldn't hurt and you'd be able to just escape

>>734718084
ye bro. I reported the bot as soon as I saw the post. just report and move on

>>734707456

I can think of the implications of that later

yes but only because I'm diagnosed autistic with a slew of personality disorders. Because of this I lack any desire to be around people and thus don't suffer from loneliness. It has always been my greatest dream to travel the universe without a mortal shell exploring and learning.

>>734707456
Sure. Being immortal sucks at one point but is sure as hell beats dying. Just have to be careful not to fuck up as most of the people in the thread would get life senence in a few days of freedom if given this ability.

>>734707456
Yes.

>>734707456
hell yeah
living forever means i can do fucking anything and everything ever

“Wherever we look, the work of the chemist has raised the level of our civilization and has increased the productive capacity of our nation.”

>>734718854
From our current knowledge of the universe I don't believe that's possible, considering atoms would lose all their energy and wouldn't be able to re-create the big bang. At least that's my theory

You have to die first to attain immortality

I would know

>>734720146
You heard me.

You aren't immortal until you've died and lived again, because only then you've proven you are immortal.

Simply never dying would make you a lucky mortal.

If you're intrested about space travel you might wanna see this video, gives good idea about realistic problems of it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WtgmT5CYU8

Yes. I want to die now but if you had immortality you could actually make lots of money from just being immortal. Sure you would see everyone you know die but you'll live forever

>>734707991

You wouldn't be able to die, but you could be trapped in a coffin and buried alive.

>>734707456
Yes

I'm 31, and enough to realize that I'd want to see my childrens childrens childrens children.

There are always more people to love even if the ones you care about pass away.

>>734707456
why not

>>734707456
Of course, you can also be tortured forever.

>>734713816
pussy

>>734721922
Submitting to an eternity of completely avoidable suffering just because does not make you manly, it makes you a dipshit.

>>734713816
You could figure out how to do all of that yourself if you had forever to do it in.

Sure, except for the single most important part. Turning it off. I'd just rather have those rules in place before I was to sign on than have no guaranteed way out and the other rules protect me in other ways. The single most important part is the way out.

>>734707456
yep so I can suffer more

>>734707456
Fuck yeah I would. I know that I will only ever find true peace with immortality. Certainly, I will live my life contently, but I know that I will never truly accept death. I also know that if I passed the opportunity to become immortal, I would regret it for the rest of my life, so fuck yeah I would say yes.

>>734707456
yes obviously. mortality is my biggest fear

if i was immortal i would experience the whole world and become incredibly wise and i would try to make money, gain a following and live like a god.

Yes.

>>734707456
It depends.
If I could free myself from the burden of human feelings and emotions and live forever as a rational, digital mind, collecting knowledge without limitations and then become some sort of god, then yes.

>>734713738
thx for the youtube channel. i'll check that out

>>734707456
Yes, there's way too much to do in life alone. Also being immortal means you could beat the fuck out of chad with no real repercussions

>>734707456
If I am immortal due to not being able to die through any means, I would walk the Earth. I would defeat the evils that plague the world. I would go about, toppling governments and organizations that seek to consume more power. I would drift as a ghost. A myth. A mere legend that the people would look fondly upon.

Be immortal.
Be there after your bloodline dies off.
Be there after mankind dies.
Be there after all of nature dies.
Be there after the planet dies.
Float around in space for all eternity.
Be immortal?
Tempting.
Not.

>>734707456

No. Clearly the human mind would go insane if kept alive for much longer than the time that most humans are allotted. I can imagine the suffering if you were trapped somewhere during that time as an immortal being!

>>734707456
certainly give it some serious thought lol

>>734707456

Just Immortal? Never

Immortal and Ageless? No, not unless all of humanity has ascended to the same level and technology has given us total control over the universe.

Immortal and God like, or at least super wizard like powers, Dr. Manhattan, Q, or Urza style? Yes.

>>734707456
Yes, just to see if mankind has colonized other worlds.

Yup. Would take without hesitation. Once I took it literally nothing would matter anymore.

If you're an autist sociopath you literally have nothing to lose. Also you get infinite pussy and ass. It's a no-brainer.

>>734707456
Yep. Watching the universe wink out of existence and still kicking about in a weird void would probably lead to eventual godhood, which would be something to look forward to. Might even see noocassel win the prem, bonus.

>>734707456
Dunno, maybe I'd take 1000 extra years but immortal sounds like it'd get boring, although if I was immortal I could do some pretty mental shit but I guess even that would become mundane at some point

>>734707947
This. I think it would be fun to see the rise and fall of civilizations. Maybe even take part in it, like A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court, but in modern times

>>734707456
as long as i stay physically and mentally heathly ye definitely

>>734708227
Y'all are retarded, if your imortal u can shape the universe as u see fit, u have all the time to do it untill the universe collapses and starts again, and u would be there to start fresh

>>734707456
Already am immortal... its a mixed bag really...

>>734707456
If it includes eternal youth. Why not? I would love to see how humanity progress through the whole earth life.

>>734728623

To anyone with a functioning brain immortality with no off switch is a curse.

FUUUUCCCCKKKKKKK NOOOOOOO!!!!!

Immortality alone would just be an eternity in a test tube, being experimented on to unlock your secrets. Humans are a cruel race

>Rig knees to explode endlessly
>No mortal can touch me!!

>>734707456
Absofuckinglutely.

>>734711883
yeah that is pretty gay.

I would choose immortality without a second thought. In infinite time, there is a 100% guarantee that you will do everything, and i want to know what everything is like.

>>734707456
Absolutely.
Someone might say "oh but you'd be alone for trillions of years,you'd see the death of the universe and float forever". I'm fine with that.
As long as i have an immortal's memory i will be able to persist with ease,i could perfect my intelligence to another level and create things to keep me entertained. It would be so fun to see everything unravel. And after the death and possibly rebirth of the universe i could see it all again but differently. It would be reeeeeeeal nice.

The question is, what would you do if you were immortal. I was gunna say that I would hate to be immortal but now I'm beginning to see the opportunities. Firstly you could probably commit any crime with no consequences and I would perhaps do this but I wouldn't want to build a bad reputation so I wouldn't do anything extreme. I'd like to travel the universe and perhaps set up habitable places on other planets. I'd also like to see what it's like to travel through a black hole. I suppose I'd just wander through the universe gaining knowledge until there was nothing left to learn. Dang now I really want to be immortal. Now that I think about it, if I were immortal all my anxiety would probably go away. That would make life worth living

Depends, immortality with a continually aging body would be hell, so only if it was accompanied by eternal youth, or the sort of immortality gained by becoming a lich.
