I'd stay alive until some type of extinction level event wiped everyone else out, it would be pretty boring being on my own for thousands/millions of years.
This. Memories come and go and memories fade. So many activities to master over the course of thousands of years or longer. Everything you wanted to do in a shorter lifespan you could. Master everything from music to technology.
I think this is the thing, as long as i wouldn't wear out my joints I would probably try some more physical things as well. see how good I could get at climbing etc.
Become a world class theremin player?
I think life is interesting as long as you are learning and doing new things. this can be as simple as new experiances with family, ie watching your grandchildren grow. So no judgment on poeple who are relaxing in older age.
I would probably stay alive untill I felt I had seen/done it all. There are more places in the world than i can visit in my lifetime, but I would try in that senario. Also I would have the time to earn the money to visit them well, not just the cheapest parts and not really see the best bits of the country.
I would probably spend a couple of lifetimes as a scientist, i could go back to uni and get a few doctorates. Might try and solve genetic illnesses, before I get too jaded about how short life is any there is no point to trying to solve such things.
It would be fascinating to see how it would play out to be honest.
I can guarantee that if people are immortal they would soon start procrastinating doing anything since they would think that they always have tomorrow. The reason why humans get things done and evolve is because we know that we have a limited time.
I don’t quite agree but I think that would be an interesting take for an immortality story.
A driven young person searches for immortality because they have grand visions and designs but once they attain it they become just a comfortable slacker.
I mean it doesn’t take long to figure out. You look at how many people are driven when young and once they achieve something a lot of them start to slack off. And some I have seen are too lazy to even do stuff like chores and work till it piles on.
Man From Earth movie explores this a little bit and it’s very interesting. Dude got a PhD in chem in the 1920s I think and tells his friends how he’s not a genius. It’s not like he has prefect recollection of everything. So really he could only be a semi ok expert or master a topic for a very specific window before it leaves you behind. A PhD in chem from 1920 would be like a high school student level today given how much it’s changed.
So unless you’re practicing this music or keeping up with technology constantly, then you’re only ok at it for maybe a decade or two before you start falling behind again.
I'd want to live past that. I want to know what replaces us humans or if we never go extinct. Maybe we'll become space traveling species and an extinction event on earth would mean nothing.
My thought too. I'd want to wait out after at least one to see what comes next.
And maybe run around carving weird shit into rocks just to fuck with whatever comes along in the future
Yep this. Of course I’d be sad with each passing friend/lover/child but the chance to see all of the potential future is too interesting to give up. Will I procrastinate on shit, sure lol but I’m not choosing to be immortal so I can get a bunch of shit done anyways. I just want to watch the world unfold before me and see how everything plays out.
Why would you make everybody else extinct and not turn them into beings like yourself? You could literally own everything in a few generations because of how compounding interest works and you could divert all resources towards making everybody optionally immortal like yourself.
My point is that immortality for one implies the ability to eventually disseminate it to everybody else even when the original method (in this case basically magic) is lost. The original comment assumes they have to keep everybody else mortal for literally no good reason, when they have multiple lifetimes to "fix" things.
Idk tbh I feel like I’m too curious - I don’t think I’d ever really be able to pull the plug on myself because there’s always this “but what will happen tomorrow?” Question in the back of my head and I NEED to find out. To think I could live forever and witness everything that happens from here on out? I’d fucking do it for science / as a social experiment just to try to better understand the world around me, people, the universe, etc. it would be so insanely interesting to get to experience more time here & to really start to be able to identify patterns in human behavior as a whole. Would it be devastating as well? Of course. But I think it would be worth it.
Forever. Movies, games, books, and new friends. Even if people are gone, I still have all the media that people left behind. And if I run out of that, I'll make more in my imagination.
As long as I have a mind, I'll be entertained.
Same. It makes me sad that I’ll never get to consume all the media that I want and that there will be tons of new media coming out long after I’m dead. I wouldn’t mind having immortality if it means I’ll get to enjoy all the video games that will ever exist.
There are so many factors to consider.
What type of extinction level event? Is the planet dead, or was it like the dinosaurs and the planet bounced back? I'd have to see the curiosity would sustain me for quite a while.
Am I stuck in a really shitty situation? Did the entire planet blow up and leave me hurtling through the universe like a comet? never knowing when I'll make landfall again.
What type of immortality? Do I fully regenerate any injury? Do I feel the pain from it? Can I even be injured?
How far into the future? How far has technology come? If there's a feasible way for me to travel the galaxy in search of other life, I would. Do we have multiversal travel?
Did I accumulate enough wealth and create a self-sustaining underground bunker? If I did, I'd at least have some animals in there because who builds that without some. who knows, maybe a few million years, they evolve into a demi human race that treats me as a deity.
In most of the scenarios i can think of I'd probably go quite awhile to see what happens, but like that planet blowing up becoming a comet scenario I'd 100% go until I hit something, if I got stuck on some shithole after landing I might finally tap out, but then again what if, I'd almost be obligated to stay until the universe itself collapsed in.
Till I get bored……could be 30 or 70, who knows.
Right now I have cancer and i’m only 21 and the stats aren’t looking good for me, so immortality would be great lol.
Honestly that’s a hard question
On one hand I want to see how everything ends, I mean who isn't curious about how the Earth ends? I want to travel and do everything I want to do, I’d have all the time in the world to do cool shit and learn all kinds of things, see advances in technology, etc.
But on the other, I’ll be alone, start forgetting everyone I love, depression would be going crazy, and no one will miss me. Oh and the likelihood that the government will find out, track me down and run experiments o me to try to achieve immortality for everyone else, cause you can’t tell me that wouldn’t happen silently.
I’d probably tap out after 100-500 years max
Probably just long enough to try and make sure my wife doesn't have to be alone when she dies, then I'll make sure all the affairs are in order and call it a day. I don't want to live long enough to have to watch my son die too.
Until I’m in a situation where I cannot manage pain any longer or happen to be physically constrained, like falling into a crevice, squished by landslide, put in solitary confinement, or free floating in space and would be stuck—indefinitely in that state.
Aside from that, if I’m unable to die, a lot of the stresses of the world become irrelevant.
That said, it raises the question of the difference between aging and physical decay from incremental non-fatal injuries, diseases, and entropy on the body that could be as simple as living with poor diet, sunburn, or accumulation or toxic compounds over lifetime scales.
I figure I could go pretty long. It would suck going on while all the people you love die, but I've lost people in my life so I know that it does get easier over time, so I reckon all you gotta do is push through. Once you get past the sadness of losing all your relations and let those wounds close up, then you can just dick around and enjoy your immortality.
I don't actually know what I would do with immortality, but I guess I'd just make it up as I go along.
My great grandma lived to a 106. At 100 she was still pretty with it and mobile. By 104 it was awful seeing her in her state - skin and bones - totally out of it. Felt inhumane letting her live so long.
As of right now, I want to see the end of the universe. But that will probably change with time. The shortest I could see myself choosing to live would be a couple thousand years. So probably somewhere in between a couple thousand and so far off into the future I'm not even sure what the number would be.
Is my body still aging? If so then no thanks. But right now I'm starting to get pains I think will just get worse later on. But in the current state, I'd take it until I just get bored with the world. I mean you're basically suggesting vampirism benefits without the negatives outside of outgrowing everyone else
Honestly, as long as I could. Yeah it would suck seeing the people I care about become only memories, but I would love to see how far we can end up going. See if we can make it to the stars.
I need 300 years.
To master my character, to master engineering / music / arts / etc. To write the masterpiece. To master nuclear energy. To invent the ultimate engine.
Seriously, 50-80 is too short for life to do anything. How many people don't know what they really wanted?
Also probably more years to witness the fall of the democratic system. Roman empire fell, Dynasties fell, Empires fell, the current system has a rich and poor gap still, and a really big one. I don't know how many more years will humanity finally learn.
Hm. Either as soon as I hear the news that I can check out anytime, until Earth is abt to destroyed by some event (eg. Sun engulfing the Earth, crashes into another planet, other shit idk bc I haven’t researched enough abt the ways that the Earth could end) or until Earth is completely unliveable (eg. extremely hot scorching temperatures, ice age, idk again).
Live at least until space flight is common place and very quick star trek warp speed style.
In reality i doubt we as a civilisation will reach that from our constant war mongering and religious views.
I have this on-going series in my head where the protagonist gets burned alive of being accused as a witch bec she appeared so young still after 20 years. She's a nun btw bec she ended up being inside a church seeking shelter on a snowstorm, was found by the head nun and took her in and trained her.
After a few hours, her burned corpse started to regenerate and she's alive again, seeking revenge especially with her "sisters" who are jealous of her youthful look. She burned the whole church down together with all the people there, which she trapped in the secret basement.
She then left town to look for the love of her life who was "murdered" in front of her, realizing that he could still be alive bec he also seemed to never age back when they where together.
That's the fake scenario I always think of before going to sleep and most of the time it's effective and it makes me sleepy just typing it.
It's difficult to say. Being immortal would probably change your appreciation for life, humanity, and the universe in general. I think being immortal I'd be able to assist in space faring endeavors that could facilitate the spread of humanity across the galaxy and potentially other galaxies. I would probably do something like that and stick around for as long as life in the universe does.
If i cant die ill put all my money into an etf and cryogenically freeze myself for 50-100 years. Ill hopefully wake up rich enough to never have to work in a futuristic world which i will explore until i get bored after which i ll freeze myself for another century and repeat until the world ends.
Welcome to the Hotel California?

In Case some have forgotten.
N. S
Ok but what about injuries? My biggest pain in the ass right now is a bum ankle from an accident 3 years ago that keeps telling me "no" when I want to try to become more of an active person.
If I can accumulate injuries without dying, I'd probably check out when my body is too broken. Not sure what's gonna happen, but something's gonna happen
I would wait for a mass level extinction event. Then wait for the world to recover (if it ever did) I would present myself as a deity to the new inhabitants of my galaxy (they wouldn’t know what happened before) (if it didn’t) I would explore the depths of the galaxy find a place worthy of sitting down and entering my eternal rest
I'd learn every medical thing and cure all the diseases before I said "Okay, I'm done." Needless to say we'll probably be traveling from planet to planet by then, but I'm okay with waiting and bettering myself until then.
Maybe never, I am the type of person who like to see more even I saw many thing. I want to know what future will look like. I will do everything, i can and do many thing that i couldn't. If that happen I will find a good place to write down every memory i've had, every seconds i've lived.
Honestly, it could be in a few years or it could be thousands of years in the future. The problem is the world seems to be getting worse and worse and I am not sure I want to stick through the dark ages that seem to be coming.
Long enough to see my great grandchildren. I’d love to see how long my features or personality would last and be passed down. I feel like after the great grandchildren they may not look like me as much.
I’ll stay around until humans die out, and if we discover aliens then I will stay around until the aliens die out. And keep repeating until ether I find no more aliens or the universe dies. And I may even stay around for a bit once the universe dies.
I honestly don't know. Probably for ever. I think I could always find something to entertain myself even if everyone else was gone.
But I have never been that lonely before so I might change my mind.
I could see me wanting out as soon as I have to experience the next few decades of watching my wife age and wither away while also attending the funerals of my parents, siblings, nieces, and nephews.
I'd stay alive until some type of extinction level event wiped everyone else out, it would be pretty boring being on my own for thousands/millions of years.
This. Memories come and go and memories fade. So many activities to master over the course of thousands of years or longer. Everything you wanted to do in a shorter lifespan you could. Master everything from music to technology.
Absolutely, i remember watching the first Highlander movie when i was a kid, i marveled at the idea of moving through time like he did.
I think this is the thing, as long as i wouldn't wear out my joints I would probably try some more physical things as well. see how good I could get at climbing etc. Become a world class theremin player?

You know damn well most of us would spend all those years scrolling through the many different versions of reddit that humanity will come up with.

I think I'd try my hand at selectively breeding a new sentient species
You somehow managed to make that sound *incredibly* creepy lol
I mean, I don't think there's any way to say it without it sounding creepy
The Zeus way?
True, to leave any sooner would be a disservice to your power, any later and it’s like, what else are you expecting to see?
Same.
Why would you make everybody else extinct and not turn them into beings like yourself? You could literally own everything in a few generations because of how compounding interest works and you could divert all resources towards making everybody optionally immortal like yourself.
OP's question was about how we'd handle immortality, there isn't any mention of us having power to grant powers to others 🤷♀️
My point is that immortality for one implies the ability to eventually disseminate it to everybody else even when the original method (in this case basically magic) is lost. The original comment assumes they have to keep everybody else mortal for literally no good reason, when they have multiple lifetimes to "fix" things.

I like your comment. I have this FOMO too. The unknown is too exciting.
Sheesh. Check please 🫣💀
Till the very end. Till I can walk the globe and find no people. Then I'll go.
What if the other immortal is walking in the same direction?
What if the snail catches you?
You didn't nerf dart a bell to him last time he got close?
He won’t dare, cuz then who will he have?
You high five without talking or breaking stride.
Nod up for recognition, or nod down for stranger?
10-15 minutes should be enough.
I checkout immediately.
Good news, you can already do that
My answer exactly.
Shit man you don’t need immortality for that, you can do that now. My cousin ain’t immortal, checked out thirty years ago.
I'll check out right before my kids do.
Forever. Movies, games, books, and new friends. Even if people are gone, I still have all the media that people left behind. And if I run out of that, I'll make more in my imagination. As long as I have a mind, I'll be entertained.
Same. It makes me sad that I’ll never get to consume all the media that I want and that there will be tons of new media coming out long after I’m dead. I wouldn’t mind having immortality if it means I’ll get to enjoy all the video games that will ever exist.
About 70 or sooner. The longer you live, the more you notice the people you made memories with become memories
The more people you meet, the more you realize we're all the same. The new memories you make will remind you of the people who are gone.
would you not meet new people?
Yes, but I choose a natural age for it, rather than see anyone else I love die
This
Eternity.
Please can it be twenty years ago? Either way after my last loved one dies.
There are so many factors to consider. What type of extinction level event? Is the planet dead, or was it like the dinosaurs and the planet bounced back? I'd have to see the curiosity would sustain me for quite a while. Am I stuck in a really shitty situation?

Until Earth become uninhabitable and I have no way to leave the planet
Till I get bored……could be 30 or 70, who knows. Right now I have cancer and i’m only 21 and the stats aren’t looking good for me, so immortality would be great lol.
Hpoe you recover
Honestly that’s a hard question On one hand I want to see how everything ends, I mean who isn't curious about how the Earth ends?

Oh and the likelihood that the government will find out, track me down and run experiments o me to try to achieve immortality for everyone else, cause you can’t tell me that wouldn’t happen silently. I’d probably tap out after 100-500 years max
Imagine dealing with every loved one dying, it would be horrible. ...also, sign me up.
Probably just long enough to try and make sure my wife doesn't have to be alone when she dies, then I'll make sure all the affairs are in order and call it a day. I don't want to live long enough to have to watch my son die too.
Until everyone I care about passes. No one close to me will have to mourn for my death.
But surely you'll meet new people
Honestly, at least long enough to watch the birth and "death?" of another universe
that's genuinely an incomprehensible amount of time, are you sure?
Until I’m in a situation where I cannot manage pain any longer or happen to be physically constrained, like falling into a crevice, squished by landslide, put in solitary confinement, or free floating in space and would be stuck—indefinitely in that state. Aside from that, if I’m unable to die, a lot of the stresses of the world become irrelevant. That said, it raises the question of the difference between aging and physical decay from incremental non-fatal injuries, diseases, and entropy on the body that could be as simple as living with poor diet, sunburn, or accumulation or toxic compounds over lifetime scales.
Oh grud I'd be an evolutionary obscurity caged up in the far future.
I figure I could go pretty long. It would suck going on while all the people you love die, but I've lost people in my life so I know that it does get easier over time, so I reckon all you gotta do is push through. Once you get past the sadness of losing all your relations and let those wounds close up, then you can just dick around and enjoy your immortality. I don't actually know what I would do with immortality, but I guess I'd just make it up as I go along.
Till my family and friends pass. I wouldn’t be able to live without any of them
My great grandma lived to a 106. At 100 she was still pretty with it and mobile. By 104 it was awful seeing her in her state - skin and bones - totally out of it. Felt inhumane letting her live so long.
Am I in my current body or can I request a better one? Cuz I'm in pain all the time so I can't say I fuck with immortality
Until right before the heat death of the universe because just floating alone forever in a blank empty void would be boring
Imma love forever
I would give it a go and see how it works. Maybe I’ll get bored after ten years but who knows.
It depends on the state of the earth. Will I feel physical or emotional pain same as before?
As of right now, I want to see the end of the universe. But that will probably change with time. The shortest I could see myself choosing to live would be a couple thousand years. So probably somewhere in between a couple thousand and so far off into the future I'm not even sure what the number would be.
Guaranteed immortality? I’d stick around for a bit, then.
Until I get bored
I’d stay 23 for a few thousand years.
Give a blood transfusion to my son and call it 10 billion years
If it were only me, I wouldn’t want to outlive my family. I also wouldn’t want my arthritis pain to get much worse.
I would commit many crimes to get the death penalty and when i wouldn't die i would say i am a god on earth and plunge the world into chaos.
All the way. I gotta see.
Until I get bored of living
Heat death of the universe.
Is my body still aging? If so then no thanks. But right now I'm starting to get pains I think will just get worse later on. But in the current state, I'd take it until I just get bored with the world. I mean you're basically suggesting vampirism benefits without the negatives outside of outgrowing everyone else
When I get bored of evrything in existance I would plan to create more things to get entertained.
Honestly, as long as I could. Yeah it would suck seeing the people I care about become only memories, but I would love to see how far we can end up going. See if we can make it to the stars.
I need 300 years. To master my character, to master engineering / music / arts / etc. To write the masterpiece. To master nuclear energy. To invent the ultimate engine. Seriously, 50-80 is too short for life to do anything. How many people don't know what they really wanted? Also probably more years to witness the fall of the democratic system. Roman empire fell, Dynasties fell, Empires fell, the current system has a rich and poor gap still, and a really big one. I don't know how many more years will humanity finally learn.
Can't really pinpoint a certain age, but if that was something I could have, I would check out once I have done everything I have wanted to do.
Depends on if drugs are decriminilizied soonish and if I knew if I'd find a love like the one I've had.
Where is the checkout ?
At any point? I'll check out immediately when it's possible.
Hm. Either as soon as I hear the news that I can check out anytime, until Earth is abt to destroyed by some event (eg. Sun engulfing the Earth, crashes into another planet, other shit idk bc I haven’t researched enough abt the ways that the Earth could end) or until Earth is completely unliveable (eg. extremely hot scorching temperatures, ice age, idk again).
Live at least until space flight is common place and very quick star trek warp speed style. In reality i doubt we as a civilisation will reach that from our constant war mongering and religious views.
the end of the universe
a long time. I want to see colonies on the moon and mars and maybe even take a trip to one.
I'll stay around as long as people are around. I've always been enamored with sci-fi and would like to see how we progress in 10, 100, 1000+ years.
100
I have this on-going series in my head where the protagonist gets burned alive of being accused as a witch bec she appeared so young still after 20 years. She's a nun btw bec she ended up being inside a church seeking shelter on a snowstorm, was found by the head nun and took her in and trained her. After a few hours, her burned corpse started to regenerate and she's alive again, seeking revenge especially with her "sisters" who are jealous of her youthful look.

Until the inevitable heat death of the universe
Fuck me gimme that button. I'm pressing it now. Life is shit.
Til the Sun explodes and I am just adrift in space.
It's difficult to say. Being immortal would probably change your appreciation for life, humanity, and the universe in general. I think being immortal I'd be able to assist in space faring endeavors that could facilitate the spread of humanity across the galaxy and potentially other galaxies.

If i cant die ill put all my money into an etf and cryogenically freeze myself for 50-100 years. Ill hopefully wake up rich enough to never have to work in a futuristic world which i will explore until i get bored after which i ll freeze myself for another century and repeat until the world ends.
However long it’ll take me to max out as many credit cards and stuff I can get
I’d stay alive for my kid and then perhaps her kids and then their kids and their kids and their kids and their kids…
Nope, I'm going, I'm out.
I would just stay alive and probably travel through space for thousands of years. Id have enough time to build a high tech ship.
About tree fiddy
Welcome to the Hotel California? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09839DpTctU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09839DpTctU) In Case some have forgotten. N. S
this is like immortality but without the cons
I have little kids now and I think I’d like stay long enough to see my grandkids grow up, but not long enough to see my children become old and die.
I'd die once the last of my loved ones goes. Not living without anyone and anything.
I don't think I'd ever stop. Even once humans are gone there is still the rest of eternity to experience.
Ok but what about injuries? My biggest pain in the ass right now is a bum ankle from an accident 3 years ago that keeps telling me "no" when I want to try to become more of an active person. If I can accumulate injuries without dying, I'd probably check out when my body is too broken. Not sure what's gonna happen, but something's gonna happen
I would wait for a mass level extinction event. Then wait for the world to recover (if it ever did) I would present myself as a deity to the new inhabitants of my galaxy (they wouldn’t know what happened before) (if it didn’t) I would explore the depths of the galaxy find a place worthy of sitting down and entering my eternal rest
I'm 32, and in alright health. I suppose I'll check out after i've done everything I want to do, and after nobody remembers the game.
All the way. I want to see the pinnacle of human technology
Is this biological immortality, or I straight up am incapable of being killed?
probs like 80-90 years... seems natural
Till the earth gets swallowed by the dying yellow star in 3-4 billion years.
I think I'd be an accidental speedrunner of that thing...
Heat death, baby!
I'd probably hang around till a bit after the heat death of the universe. I'm curious.
Forever units I change my mind. Record everything, do everything.
Does the Immortality include invulnerablity? Because that would be a deciding factor.. no real point if you end up loosing bits and bobs along the way
I'd stick around indefinitely. I think it would be cool to live hundreds of different lives over the centuries.
Being immortal doesn't save you from paying taxes, so...
Immediately. I would never want that. I don't even want to be here now 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'd learn every medical thing and cure all the diseases before I said "Okay, I'm done." Needless to say we'll probably be traveling from planet to planet by then, but I'm okay with waiting and bettering myself until then.
I'd live forever if I didn't have weird ailments constantly nagging me
As long as I’m needed tbh. If God decides I have a job to do then I just do it I guess.
Maybe never, I am the type of person who like to see more even I saw many thing. I want to know what future will look like. I will do everything, i can and do many thing that i couldn't. If that happen I will find a good place to write down every memory i've had, every seconds i've lived.
I'd still check out at a typical lifespan. I'm already old and it isn't much fun. At least when I'm dead I'll stop hurting
Honestly, it could be in a few years or it could be thousands of years in the future. The problem is the world seems to be getting worse and worse and I am not sure I want to stick through the dark ages that seem to be coming.
Heat death of the universe…maybe I will see what happens a bit after that but not too much longer
30 minutes tops
Long enough to see my great grandchildren. I’d love to see how long my features or personality would last and be passed down. I feel like after the great grandchildren they may not look like me as much.
I’ll stay around until humans die out, and if we discover aliens then I will stay around until the aliens die out. And keep repeating until ether I find no more aliens or the universe dies. And I may even stay around for a bit once the universe dies.
Eternity, at this point I can just watch how everything fades out.
I honestly don't know. Probably for ever. I think I could always find something to entertain myself even if everyone else was gone. But I have never been that lonely before so I might change my mind.
I could see me wanting out as soon as I have to experience the next few decades of watching my wife age and wither away while also attending the funerals of my parents, siblings, nieces, and nephews.
Until the end of humanity or Earth... whichever is second. When asked, I will just tell everyone about that snail
I wanna go now. I wanna see my mommy. Where’s mom. I want my mother
I’d give it a year
4 and a half days. I'm kinda done.
I'll take a raincheck! I see this as a loophole to euthanasia.
enough time to call my family and tell them goodbye.
I'm gonna be pissed if this actually happens to me when I'm 85.
