Immortality, with a price...

[revolutionaification]

First, I'd wait until my loved ones died. Yes, I'd be distraught but I'd have spent their entire lives with them, doing whatever they wanted because I was aware that I'd have literally all the time in the world to pander to my own wants later.

Then, once I'd finished mourning (I'm thinking some cliched, dramatic length of time like say... 100 years?) I'd start trying to learn absolutely everything. I'd read as much as I could, travel wherever I wanted, discover all the secrets humans have been too frail to investigate (such as, how long it takes to boil an egg in magma) and then once I wanted a break, take a few years out to act like the world's encyclopedia. Hell, I've already got an idea of the 'temple' set-up I'd have running, just to seem cooler than I actually am.

I suppose I'd just go on like that, probably charging myself with ensuring the human race didn't annihilate itself. Though that would most likely be out of self-preservation, the selfish git that I am.

People would be born faster than you could kill them.
Even if you had lots of nukes.

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.

That is a bit scary. Can you imagine you woudl be the best donor in the world. They take your kidney and it grows back. They take your heart and it grows back. soon every person that needs a body part woudl have a little of you ...

If I couldn't die... I'd probably enjoy every drug on earth, rob banks, kill people for a living and generally just fuck shit up. And I would probably spend a period on the bottom on the fucking sea, and another period on mount everest. Eventually, I will live in space!

 

[Red Right Hand]

I would join the army. It would be exactly like Call of Duty!

/sarcasm

 

[3aqua]

I'd love it for about 3000 years or so but when i run out of countries to tour i'd try to kill everyone but probably get tired of that when 100 people have shoved my jason mask up my a***

 

[ZippyDSMlee]

My Lord of power Character is Immortal, and travels space/worlds/time. Dose not keep him from being a bipolar depressive introverted git tho.

 

[TAGM]

Honestly, what with games, movies, music and all sorts of shit coming out every week or so, I don't think I'd ever really get board with life. I mean, I'd have to work, yeah, but still - learn stuff, see people, get autographs from famous people, think up answers to problems... Hell, when my perception makes everything look like a blur, it'll be like being drunk the whole time! Just watch the world go by... Maybe pay for someone to make video games that run about 20 times slower, so I can play 'em.

Then, when everyone and everything dies anyway, who knows? Maybe I'll just grab a rocket and float off to adventure! Hey, think about it - I would be the last human being. Hell, I'd be the last living thing on earth, the way you've put it! I might be famous on other planets!
Course, I'd keep a grenade or something, just in case I see everything and think "Yeah... Bored now."

 

[Quinadin]

so we only die when humanity dies...

Yeah I'd totally be immortal. I'm super curious about humanity's future and as long as there's another sentient being alive I'll enjoy looking at humanity through an objective lense.
/cross fingers for space age

 

[Atmos Duality]

I know it's not the same, but did anyone else think of "The Planet Zeist" after reading the original post?

 

[conflictofinterests]

Not much one can do about predicting one's actions when one slips the constraints of reality. There is a fairly large chance I'd end up murdering everyone, but not until after I went totally batshit.

 

[Nietz]

Immortality does come with boredom and stagnation. But more importantly, it gives us the most valuable commodity we can have, time. With all that time, comes a great amount of potential. One could really... experiment. For me, that would mean that life would not be a race or a journey, life would be a work of art. What could be more interesting than seeing humanity unfold? And what could be more exciting than living through ever era of humanity?

And I don't really think immortality would ever get "boring", humanity as a whole is f*cked up enough to keep things interesting.

 

[scw55]

Turn into a Justicar from Mass Effect 2. Kill sinful people. There's always going to be major arse holes in humanity. You can avoid boredom by harvesting them.

 

[phantasmalWordsmith]

I'm gonna guess that I would either enjoy it at first then go insane or I'd figure out something and just live an unhappy unending life. I don't think I could bring myself to end all life . I guess I'd have better odds if i could find something to live for; a Mrs Immortal teen maybe, living for knowledge, I could try getting fit, I could start doing degrees in stuff I don't need, I could travel or something...but that would just be trying to delay the inevitable insanity waiting for me

 

[PinochetIsMyBro]

Well assuming I ever get sick of immortality to the point where I'd consider killing everyone else on the planet in order to end my life, it's safe to assume that I'd be quite insane. In light of that, I doubt I'd care how many children I had to eviscerate to complete my objective.

 

[Gudrests]

Let me at least become a Teenager...so i can have some...."real fun" And then...idk put money in the bank...collect interest.....become world's strongest man....see everything...do anything.....SKYDIVE OFF OF TOWERS!!! idk...and if that all bores me...well...they still have video games right lol

 

[Palademon]

I'd just keep immortality and be a super hero. And maybe kill some people I find annoying.

 

[2733]

I would become the great advisor and protector of humanity, using my ancient knowledge to guide all people to a golden future.

 

[ThePurpleStuff]

If theres an apocalypse, everyone on earth dies and I'm still alive somehow.. I'd find a way for me to at least sleep for the rest of eternity so I'm pretty much dead but just not, maybe I'd be found by aliens, woken up from my eternal slumber and become their leader? I rule a new nation of lifeforms, until the days they die if they ever do and I'd move on to the next, spreading and gaining wisdom wherever I go. That'd be fuckin' awesome.
