Because obviously the first thing I'd do upon learning of immortality would be to go into space and make sure to hurl myself into the empty void between galaxies.Firetaffer said:

Not necessary true. Most likely you would rather start overwriting your own memory and forgetting your past. Then you would replace what you have forgotten with what people told you (yes, i met that jesus guy, and yes, he did walk on water!).vxicepickxv said:
Anyone have seen the movie 'The man from Earth'? My favorite movie so far in my infinite life.
Third option: Get a spaceship, set it on autopilot to fly into a Blackhole, freeze yourself solid, fly there. You should be asleep for the entire trip, and once you hit the black hole time distortion will prevent you from waking up or feeling anything until several billion years- and thus the entropic death of the universe- has passed, allowing you to die.Autofaux said:
Tho one does not like the age limit, one would rather prefer around 30's, the notion of immortality itself is interesting. One could just go about one's days not being bothered by others, attachements were never One's speciality,One has always been more of an observer of this amusing tragedy we call life. One could learn anything One wanted and humanity will constantly provide something new to mess about with, also you can be an infinite source of amusement. Insanity is not a problem for that is a relative thing but changes in morality are quite possible, detachement from the rest of humans is a definete possibility. Boredom could be an issue but the universe is a vast place, surely something somewhere can provide something to fill One's time. If One ideed would eventualy become utterly bored of existance and the cost would be the eradication of humanity, One does not see a problem for not matter how much hope One still has in humanity it will inevitably do something stupid and end up annihilating itself or bring itself the brink of annihilation and with high probability begin stagnating, in which case eradicating whats left could be considered as same as ending the agonizing misery of a slowly dieing being.

Well, what would I do? Hmmm....
I would open a Sushi restaurant.
Be immortal until everyone dies.
As long as there are people, there's still something to do. As soon as everyone goes, you go, so you don't have to endure the horror of free floating in space forever.

Ah, but what planet? The one I'm standing on right now? If that's the case, then a simple flight to Venus would take care of having to go through sentient life before being able to die, and the acid rain would take care of the rest. Until then there's the option of learning whatever I want, traveling the world with no fear of sickness or attack, or whatever.
there is an obvious trap: what if humanity spreads itself to other planets and starts plenty of colonies? humankind would persist even if entire planets go dead.
well, i would not mind to go down in history as the butcher of mankind when i had enough after a few thousand centuries. considering the human brain would go mental long before that.

The real question is: Can I lose parts of my body?
What happens when I lose them?
Do they grow back?
If, in the end I always end of with my body in one piece (not to be confused with a certain anime), there's no reason why I'd want to die.
It would throw a wrench in my plans to destroy the world for fun though...
Since I'd lose my immortality...
And if I do happen to get bored, I could always hibernate for a few thousand years...
[sup]The real problem is that some smartass might get the idea to capture me and use my body as an eternal power source...[/sup]

immortality, is but a curse when the limit of the physical bonds have been found and explored, and your imaginations fails to find a new occupation.
humanity will kill itsself soon enough for death to come eventualy.
also, i would just become the most skilled mechanist/forgemaster the world has ever seen.
time enough, right XD?

OT: I would become the world best damn mercenary. Of course killing a man isn't easy. But with enough time your morality slinks away and you would have no problem doing so.
"Lord*my name*, ruler of Earth, would you like another thousand harems?"
"Meh, what evs...Hmm, i feel like destroying another nation. Butler! Bring my red button here!"
"Yes, oh Immortal One."

Killing off the world would take an astronomical amount of time and effort. More than any single person would be able to put into it, even an immortal. After the first thousand or so, you'd probably get bored of it anyway. Unless you were a total sociopath anyway. It would take less time just to wait for WWIII. In the meantime, invest in some solid stock market shares, build up some cash, and live a comfortable life. If that's not you're thing, become a mercenary and build up a reputation for being invincible. Just be sure you don't get captured and poked at by scientists wanting to find out what made you immortal for, you know, the rest of eternity...or at least until WWIII.
