Immortality, with a price...

[Fledge]

I think it's an absolutely ridiculous thing to say that I'd get tired and bored forever.
I'd love to be able to live through future human advances, technology and discoveries -- my immortality may even be the key to certain extreme medical science. I could experience humanity royally screwin up Earth for good and colonising on another planet -- c'mon the possibilities are endless!

I'd love it.

 

[Flamezdudes]

Oh please. I doubt i'd get bored and If i'm immortal I should live long enough to be able to explore the rest of the universe if we hopefully find some way to travel quickly and far in space.

 

[the fake]

id take the immortality and become the greatest assassin ever but not kill everybody

 

[Dirzzit]

I mean if you have an infinite amount of time to kill and you can't die, no harm in learning a bit and having fun right?

Besides, thinking of teen titans (IT WAS A GOOD SHOW!!! <.<), an immortal man makes the best adviser, as he has seen the consequence of almost every action.

That show was amazing XD

OT: yep, because YOU are immortal, not your body your spirit and idea. Your physical form may age and die but you in the purest essence is immortal

 

[ABLb0y]

I'd be immortal, you know, try out all the things i wanted to as a Mortal, but can't due to health concerns.

 

[Sandernista]

Pssh, I wouldn't get bored!

 

[Ignatz_Zwakh]

I'd use my immortality to rule over mankind from the shadows, manipulating events to guide the world towards what I considered to be the greater good. Of course, this greater good would involve building Gundams and political intrigue resulting in the vaporization of certain countries...but meh, gotta liven things up somehow!

 

[Crazy_Dude]

You do know what Immortaliy means doesn it? You will live FOREVER. Millions of years after everyone you know is already long gone you will still be alive.

I would never ever want to be Immortal.

 

[AlkalineGamer]

I don't particularly like people as a whole anyway, so i think i would probably be fine with this.
the only concern is that the realisation that i can't die may sort of destroy my humanity, causing me to be dead inside, but i could live with that. Hopefully humanity will devolve rather than evolve, causing me to be the most advance being on the planet.
Besides humanity's probably not got long left anyway.

 

[Sephychu]

That'd be crazy cool. If it had to happen, I could feel no guilt for it.

 

[Communist partisan]

I would kill'em all, no matter what age they are old enough...

But can't I yust kill a contrys leader take the throne myself take over all other contries and rule the world whith communism? Beacose I'm immortal the world would allways be at the same neutaral stable system and it would be the perfect world.

 

[UnwishedGunz]

as long as there is still video games and women with vaginas im sure i'd love to live forever

 

[Nailz]

I've read enough books and watched enough movies to know that immortality gets boring after a while, and in the end, mortality gets us all.

Oh well, if you read it in books and saw it in movies...
If it's boring it's because you're boring.
Assuming human physiology imagine the level of body awareness and control you could develop.
And also, if you go around killing people, most likely they bury you in a metal box in the ocean, definitely before you're able to kill everything in existence.
Besides as a kid, optimal plasticity of the brain.

 

[Ben Legend]

Simple....


Murder, Death, Kill. Murder, Death, Kill. Murder, Death, Kill. Murder, Death, Kill.

 

[Jedoro]

Third option: Become a super hero and fight crime!

This

I'd fight the bad guys until humanity killed itself or was wiped out for whatever reason. Wouldn't have to be quiet about it, because anyone who came after me couldn't kill me and eventually my loved ones would be gone, so who would they kill to hurt me?

 

[Cheesus333]

[Let's refer to 'Stone' again cause I damn well love that book!]

In a certain book I read recently, the main character was tasked with elminating the entire population of a planet, but leaving the planet itself intact. No wanton destruction, no everburning fires, no bombs. (Spoilers for what happens

Spoiler: If you intend on reading Stone (and please, please do) and have not already then don't read this

And he does. He uses vortex-creating machines (or something, I can't remember specifically) to suck all the air out of the atmosphere of the planet immediately: those who aren't vacuumed off the surface of the planet and into the vortex quickly suffocate and die.

If it came to it, I think I'd do that. For the vast, vast majority it would be painless and over in seconds. For the rest, less than two minutes. Then I could join them in eternal peace... or the afterlife, where I'd have more than 6 billion very angry souls to explain to.

 

[irani_che]

the human race would annihilate itself eventually
all you need is patience, would probly be fun

 

[Sharky200]

I will be fine being immortal. You never get bored of eating. Even if you eat more than once a day. I would start studying each animal and plant on the planet. Of course I woudl eventually finish with every single one of them. but i can start over after I'm done. You can't never be bored of staring at animals. And you can read books.. plenty of books to last for centuries. and people keep writing more. I woudl stay in different places of the world for long periods of time and start over again. I will spend time to learn every language and make it a goal to have a conversation with every human on the planet. yeah that is going to take all eternity =D i will never be bored. And even if I was bored... I wouldn't want to kill everyone.

 

[Secret world leader (shhh)]

I'm sure by the time i got bored humanity would be on the brink of nuclear destruction. That would be fun. Then i could rebuild human soceity in my own way.

 

[Mataro]

I've yet to understand the possibility of being bored while immortal. New things are always coming out. Especially since it's not "No dying of old age" it's outright "You cannot die. Ever. Period." I'm a freaking demigod, I'm gonna go jump off that cliff because I CAN.

After that, WORLD DOMINATION PEACE!

Not sure if someone has mentioned it. But let's just think about the possibilities here. Immortality does not equate omnipotence. Omnipotence would get boring in a hurry. The only conceivable way to keep it interesting is to guide people without giving them too much, just to see where it goes WITHOUT your help (if there is a God, I'll be damned if that isn't why he does what he does).

Simply immortal means you can't die. Well that's all fine, and dandy. Oh, I'm going to jump off that cliff, oh I'm going to save this woman from being hit by a bus, oh I'm going to take down some fucked up government. BRING IT ON, ARMY, I CAN'T DIE! Sure sure, all gung-ho until they stop shooting and just grab you. And lock you in a steel cube. And throw you to the bottom of the ocean. Congratulations. You're in a cold, suffocating, pitch black, claustrophobic, steel prison at the bottom of the ocean where no one will find you. And the best part is; you still can't die.

And if you can feel pain, it gets even better. Now you can even be Prometheus. Does no one remember his tale of being strapped to a rock to have his liver eaten by a buzzard every day because it just kept growing back? You'd be the most valuable asset in the world to torture training. Now initiates of [name a corrupt government] can practice their fine arts on you with zero consequence. After all, if they can make mister immortality scream, then they must know what they're doing. And then it's the next one in line's turn.

I'd be immortal, I think.. I'd take it. And keep it my most hidden secret. Maybe I'd be more willing to flaunt it's qualities if I had something to fall back on.. Like switching off pain, and superhuman strength.
