Do you think you'd finally get around to doing all the new things you've been afraid to try because you didn't have time for them? Or do you think you'd waste eternity doing the same things you've wasted your life on only worse because now you don't even have the fear of your own death to motivate you?

Research a way to kill myself. Spend every waking hour making sure I could die. What happens when the human civilization goes extinct as it inevitably will? What happens when the sun expands and consumes the earth? You'll just be floating in space forever with just your thoughts to keep you company while you suffer in agony from suffocating and dehydration and starvation and solar radiation and near zero degree temperature. It would be worse than hell.

All that terrible keys to the vip poo poo you hear about but never see. Like taking a girl on a date then picking up 4 other girls at a booth, then making out with a couple of them in front of their friends, then taking one home and banging her, throwing her out. That kind of stuff.

Yeah I mean are we talking like invincible or like do you never age or do you just live forever eventually becoming a shambling mess of a human being. Because being invincible would be kind of awesome but just living for eternity would probably blow. These are extremely important questions! :colbert:

I really don't think there is anything wrong with his post as he does contribute content. Realistic content to be honest. Human extinction is as inevitable as entropy. The other problem being immortal would be building relationships. How can you relate to someone who is 1/100th your age or even someone you know will pass with time? Making an emotional investment in someone else is already pretty difficult, but having quite a few of them and knowing that you'll outlast them is pretty depressing. What do you do after you've literally experienced everything?

I would probably spend my time playing music and traveling across the world. I would try and record as much of our history, current and future, so that I could share it later on (unlike the Vatican). Maybe invest in water resources and land and wait for overpopulation so that I could sell it for massive profit.

One thing that would be interesting, regardless of the massive amount of time it takes to get there, would be seeing the end of the universe and maybe it's rebirth. It would basically answer everything religion has tried to explain to us.
