If You Could Be Immortal, Would You Be?

[Aesop Rocks]

I wouldn't because everyone you know would die off and stuff like that.

 

[chamber-music]

Do I have to chop peoples heads off in car parks during wrestling matches to gain immortality?

It depends if you will adapt with the times because if not you will feel out of place

 

[Paroxysm]

Only if I'm 80 when I become immortal.

 

[Anubis]

Only if I'm 80 when I become immortal.

So you can spend eternity in the body of an 80 year old? That's pretty dumb.

Also it brings up the question, if you're immortal, does that include eternal youth?

If so then, sure. I mean, sure you'll meet people, they will age and die and you will stay the same. It'll be sad, but, you'll meet more. You'll get over it eventually. Of course you could make some enemies who choose to bury you alive, and spend eternity in a box being a forever meal for worms and other carrion bugs. Eh, I'd rather die.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Guess it really depends on the person. I mean, if I were to jump into GOD MODE right now, I'd probably stay the same way I am now.

Well, ****.

 

[Paroxysm]

So you can spend eternity in the body of an 80 year old? That's pretty dumb.

No that'd be awesome.

 

[Anubis]

Yeah, Arthritis and a cane for eternity. Awesome indeed.

 

[chamber-music]

So you want to be David Lo Pan!

 

[Prison Mike]

I would if I could become immortal at age 30 or 35. I already look way younger than I really am so I don't want to stay like that forever. Perhaps in a few years I'll grow into my age.

 

[Anubis]

So you want to be David Lo Pan!

Master! You have Flesh!!

 

[Paroxysm]

Yeah, Arthritis and cane for eternity. Awesome indeed.

Unlimited old age pension.

Seniors discounts.

Rascal privileges.

Do I need to go on?

 

[Anubis]

Really? If anything, it'll draw attention to yourself, which is something you wouldn't want. And who needs senior discounts when you could make billions by saving things for 100's of years?

 

[Paroxysm]

No more than being young and immortal.

 

[Anubis]

Move around every 15 to 20 years, change your name. Be your own decedents.

 

[PyroChamber]

Only if there's some sort of back up plan, sort of like Dorian Gray.

 

[Anubis]

Or the Escape Clause like in that episode of the Twilight Zone....of course you go to hell either way.

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

No. The universe is only habitable for 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 of it's life span, and spending all that time, in darkness alone would be darn frustrating.

 

[terry78]

It could end up like Hulk in The End, where you're the last ****ing thing alive on the planet. Even if you go mad, you can't die from it and you'll be stuck in that hell.

 

[Anubis]

Or the planet explodes and you're just floating in space.

 

[Thebumwhowalks]

No. The universe is only habitable for 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 of it's life span, and spending all that time, in darkness alone would be darn frustrating.

They are going to fix that though.

Aye, why not, if you think your mind could handle it.
The way I look at it is, everyone is immortal, they get reincarnated, which is basically getting your memories wiped and having to go through puberty and all the stages of life, including old age, all over again.

So, it's just a way of keeping your memories and youth really, jobwise, immortality means a full time, all time, janitor, someone who sticks around with all their memories intact so they have the experience and know how to leap in and help with any kind of situation if need be.

 

[PyroChamber]

No. The universe is only habitable for 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 of it's life span, and spending all that time, in darkness alone would be darn frustrating.

Then you end up becoming a Reaver.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

What if you have sex with a girl while immortal, will your offspring be immortal too?

 

[PyroChamber]

It'd be messed up if you did become immortal and you end up going to prison for life.

 

[Ultra Lantern]

I think that would be nice to be immortal.Every 20 years move somewhere else and start over again.I'd make a lot of new friends.

 

[Thebumwhowalks]

That would be the worst aspect, as folk have said, losing the loved ones closest to you. Knowing that if you had kids you would definitely see them pass on, same with your partner, although , of course everyone anyway has to deal with that possibility, but generally folk do not expect to see thier kids pass on.
That would be the worst thing, because apart from that, all your mind has to cope with is the concept of everything never, ever ending.

and that would be, y'know, alright, you take each day as it comes in your mortal life anyway right? hell, the stuff that happened to me when I was 3yrs old feels as if it might as well have been 500yrs ago, so you hold onto the best memories, and the rest become just a bunch of stuff that happened.

No healthy minded person with a good life turns around when they are in the flush of their youth and says to themselves, 'holy moses, i can't be arsed going through another 50yrs of this crap, omg, what is going to happen in my future?'

It would just be the same as a mortal life in that regard, sure, you might get a panic attack once in a while , thinking, holy crap, i am going to be earth's janitor forever and there is f all i can do aboot it! but then you just sit down with your partner, friends, family, whoever, spark up a reefer and laugh about the fact you are Earth's eternal janitor. Psychologically speaking, i think that is the best way to handle it.


You would need a good healthy life, with loved ones, family friends, and that is true if you want to be truly happy in a mortal life too, but with immortality, I defo think you would need some super-powers as well as the immortality to mix things up for yourself in your spare time, to keep from going crazy with boredom.
Other folk would be filling up their jet-packs at the gas station and you could fly by and pee on their heads, stuff like that would keep you amused during your immortality.
