[squiggothhunter]

Stumble. Forever.

 

[TyrantGanado]

Probably dick about for a few centuries doing stuff that appeals to me then start exploring deep space when we invent practical space travel, Earth will have gotten long-boring by then.

After a few millennia I'd start to worry about the fact that my species would be evolving and I wouldn't be. Then I'd think "fuck it" and go save some planets or something.

 

[La Barata]

Go around singing "Princes of the Universe" and chuckle at anyone trying to chuck a sword through by neck.

Damn. Ninja'd. Fuckin' epic, though xD

 

[kickassfrog]

Probably make a superhero outfit and go fight crime

 

[Android2137]

Knowing me, I'd get scared, move, and take up a new identity every 5-10 years. I don't want people knowing I'm immortal and immortally young. I'd be kidnapped and turned into a science experiment. Likely be subjected to terrible things like vivisection and stuff.

 

[TheGreekDollmaker]

Go around trying to decapitate people who posted on this thread Screaming:

"THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE !!!1!11!1"

Honestly, I would live my life without fear of death, take more risks; I would be more outgoing. However, when I reach to age of 100, I will destroy my self. Everyone I grew up with will be on their way out or are already dead. As I see it, immortality won't be too fun without any one to share it with.

I could just be an emotionally stunted person but why is this always the conclusion immortal scenarios come to? I mean yes I'd hate to see my friends die but there's nothing stopping you from making new friends.

Because then you would live to see them all die off, and then the next batch of friends, ad nauseum. Forming strong bonds to people only to have them die is tragic, and having it happen over and over would be emotionally devastating. You would either need to give up on those bonds, and lose a large part of what makes you human (as we are social creatures), or limit yourself to a single human experience.

But this is just my opinion, you personally may not see the loss of a friend or lover as tragic as I do or simply believe that time (as provided by immortality) will heal any wound.

Develop an immunity to everything!
save the world!

 

[Oliman43]

I'd rule the world! then fake my death in some big elaborate way, then live out the rest of my days onn Earth as some sort of super-Confucius before going off to one of the next planets. And there WILL be more planets

 

[Jake0fTrades]

Probably run away from home, I could never stand to watch my family die whilst I cease to age.

As someone who would be eternally 16 years old, I'd probably just travel the world, take up the guitar or piano, hone my skills, and maybe at some point establish a company with someone else pretending to be it's leader, that way I could live comfortably for some years.

And from there, the sky's the limit....

 

[Arrogancy]

Gloat. Just constantly. Also, begin doing a series of extremely stupid things. Yeah, that.

 

[samaugsch]

I'd probably join the army and impress them by letting them watch me take a full clip of machine gun bullets and survive.

 

[HasimirFenring]

I'd hate it and find some way to get rid of this immortality. I really enjoy life, but living forever, over my dead body (mm, perhaps a bad choice of words in this context)

 

[Tirrast]

take over the world. what are they gonna do kill me? lol

 

[Kecunk]

Kill Kill never stop

 

[madmatt]

Science!

Seriously, what else would anyone do? Human experience ought to become annoying at some point if one were to live forever. Give it a couple hundred years 'tll you feel like you need to be surprised.

There is way to much out there to experience in one lifetime. To much to do and see. Even once you have already traveled to every corner of the globe, as long as people still exist there will continue to be more and more stuff to do.

The real question is "what wouldn't anyone do?"

That's a fairly optimistic way of looking at things, but I just don't think so. We have cases where people are world weary already. That is a real phenomenon where folk just kinda grow tired with everything and it is not necessarily linked to depression--but anyways, now, pile immortality on top of that, and what do are likely to get, eventually?

depends what kind of person you were I think. Some would cope quite well I think, especially "loner" types who don't have many social links anchoring them to a time period anyway. Others wouldn't handle it at all...

 

[Galliam]

At some point, I just KNOW I'd go on an epic quest to master every martial art known to man, learn how to shoot any and every gun with absolute precision, etc. Actually, it wouldn't be limited to killing either, I think I would seek to gain and maintain human knowledge on as many subjects as possible. \

To the people saying they'd take over the world, there is no reason why you would be able to do that.

Immortality doesn't mean invincibility. So, you can't be killed, but you can be knocked out by a smack across the head with a blunt object, and you can be restrained with a simple pair of handcuffs.

So, in the end, you'd just be chucked in jail for life, which, as you might have guessed, means eternity, so you'd be stuck in prison for as long as the legal system exists.

Really, all it means is that you can't die. You won't have superhuman strength, you won't have superpowers of any kind. Heck, if you'd get cancer, you would get a constantly growing tumor that'll never kill you but you'd start wishing it would.

Quite simply, it's not that attractive a prospect.

True, however, the fact that we regenerate is helpful. Even if you were thrown in jail, you could easily escape, just by fighting. Considering (in this case)that a lost arm take a week to heal, normal injuries (cuts, stabs, broken bones) will regenerate with significant speeds. In fact, I'm not sure that they COULD stop you especially if you have weapons yourself, or you prove you are immortal and gain fanatic followers. CULTS AHOY!

 

[sumanoskae]

Go to a bad part of town in disguise and fight off muggers using my minimal Kung Fu skills. After a while I'll be a kick ass fighter, then I'll box or join the UFC and get rich.

I'd also fake my own death and become legally incognito. I'd create a bunch of aliases to do business with.
