You are immortal.

Kill Kill never stop

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...

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!

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.

 

[Ryuu Akamatsu]

I would master every language, learn everything I can about as much technology as possible, learn how to build things, experiment on myself to see if I can increase regeneration rates or if I can truly induce death, since I would definitely not want to end up wasting away in a black hole or go through the universe dying/being reborn over and over.

Stuff like that. Oh and start a savings account. What I spend on food would be going there. And then I would be some sort of billionaire in a few hundred years or so. Yaaaay~

 

[Peter Manning]

I'd collect big on long-term investment planning, laugh at the funerals of people I don't like, and fund interstellar travel.

 

[Anchupom]

Lots and lots of drugs trials.
Adverse side effects? Gone in a week or so.
And most importantly, lots of money.

Apart from that, I guess I'd do more dangerous activities - you know, skydiving, parkour, etc.
There's only so much a body can be damaged before the pain becomes routine.

 

[superbatranger]

I'm immortal now? Well, party at my place!

 

[Kenko]

*gets out broadsword*

There can be only one!!!

And it shall be me, cur! *Waves his Not-a-Katana around in a mocking gesture*

 

[Feralcentaur]

Grab on to a rocket and fly through space, hoping to find interesting places to go to fight aliens, discover new races, new cultures, planets and roam the Universe to be written down in history books for years to come, sure it would take a while but hey, I would have infinity, wouldn't I?

 

[Anchupom]

Play this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJd5ldQXJdo

all the time.

out loud.

EVERYWHERE i go.

You sir, have won my heart. Do with it what you will.

 

[Danman1]

If I'm immortal, wouldn't I HAVE to be invulnerable?
trolling questions aside, I'd do lots of immoral things up to and including murder. I'd also get to watching 30 rock like everybody always tells me I should.

 

[Laser Priest]

I know I am.

OH! Well, I'd stick with my daily schedule of pillaging towns and raising an army of the dead to do my bidding. It's worked well so far, and the dead are much more interesting to talk to than the living.

Finish my education, work as a scientist for a while, hopefully making a few important breakthroughs, try my hand at the fields of physics and mathematics instead of biology. Read a lot of books. Write and publish a book. Learn about art and art history. Learn how to draw, paint, sculpt. Create some artistic works. Listen to a lot of music. Learn how to play a lot of instruments. Maybe become a famous musician if I'm lucky. Play lots of games. Learn programming. Develop a game, or lots of games. Master one or more sports. Become competitive in sports. Teach schools. Get into politics, just so that I can be responsible for raising the intelligence and competence of the average politician. Travel across the world. Go into space. Pioneer the journey to another planet.

That's just off the top of my head. How long do you think that'll keep me busy? Two, three hundred years? That's plenty of time to find more stuff to do.

If you're immortal and bored, you suck.

 

[duchaked]

so basically even I tried really hard to kill myself, ultimately I will grow back fully...
well it's a bit like Wolverine, the memories may be gone

hmmm...like a reset button. unlike Wolverine, I would try really hard just to enjoy life and not be plagued by so many inner demons
I mean...no longer will I be able to say "you only live once" or "you're not young forever" so...just live life

sorta rules out any truly long term relationships and such but hey
live love fight a few wars ...hm

 

[napmil]

Laugh, go nuts, get treated, repeat.

 

[velcrokidneyz]
