You are immortal.

[AgDr_ODST]

I'd try for the Halo: Reach achievement "If They Came To Hear Me Beg" for all eternity. If that Elite would just stop moving before I land on him...

but what happens when you get the achievable?........................................X3

 

[Soluncreed]

Like in Hot Fuzz, I'd stick a fork in my eye so that people think it's a joke.

It wasn't a joke.

 

[zestamaster]

first.. then you would be invernable....(yes i know misspelled)and id try to be the president

 

[Macgyvercas]

And no you can in no way die, even if you try to kill yourself.

That's invulnerable.

Sorry, one of my pet peeves is people not grasping the difference between immortal and invulnerable.

Immortal is you can not die of old age or disease, but can still be killed (think the elves from Lord of the Rings). Invulnerable means you are immune to physical injury, but you can still die of old age and disease.

So really, these kinds of questions asking what you would do if you live forever are pointless unless you specify that you are both immortal and invulnerable.

Would I be classified as a dirty old man if im still getting jiggy with the grand daughters of the ladies I used to get jiggy with a hundred years from now because seriously, endless virility? The only problem is trying to keep track of all the great great great great etc. Grandchildren just to avoid mass incest.

Oh yeah, money in the back, interest accumulation over a century, life is good.

 

[Endron27]

Probably just run around looking, walking through the ocean and record it ( after 100 years so no-one know who I am ) After that just chill, probably learn everything there is to know, also I would then proceed to wait for Half Life 2: Episode 3

 

[Aiehen]

I would gather money with those vases someone mentioned and then force a bunch of people and reenact the Highlander. There can be only one!

 

[Jessta]

I'd wait it out till all my friends and family die then begin learning different skills for about a hundred years, spending about 2 years a piece training in various skills, after which I would resurface as the ultimate being and be super popular and cool! Think about it, with two years of studying various foreign languages, and NOTHING else, I would be able to speak almost anything, two years of that with the sword, I would be GODLY with a blade, a year in between each working out, I would be a beast, two years of that with an instrument, or a computer, or a any number of things. I would collect all the knowledge I could possibly collect and then use said knowledge to fix problems with the world. Of course thats all well and good if I could pull through mentally to, I would probably just live my life as an ordinary person occasionally slipping away into thee wilderness to stare out into the sky and day dream for a years at a time before mustering up the effort to get back to life. My mortality is the only drive my infinite rationality of pointless can't beat, it forces me to move forward bit by bit, without it I would probably just stay in place for all of eternity.

And no you can in no way die, even if you try to kill yourself.

That's invulnerable.

Actually its all a matter of opinion, the TRUE meaning of immortal would be that you don't posses mortality, meaning you aren't liable or subject to death (it could also mean you possess the traits that make you human but something tells me thats not what he meant), just as he said above, that aside my pet peeves are the same >_> Invulnerable is like superman, you can't get hurt, you said that right. To be immortal but not invulnerable would mean that you could say have someone stick a bunch of swords in you and make you feel all the pain completely crippling you and making you good as dead but still slipping in and out of consciousness for all of eternity until your mind eventually breaks and you all know is pain and despair. If you Regen so you could never be destroyed you are immortal and indestructible, but still vulnerable to injury pain and the such.
A great way to think of this is with wolverine, the original wolverine and his brother were immortal but not beyond being completely destroyed. Wolverine+adamantium, was immortal and invulnerable, bullets would just flash off him since the metal that protected him was completely unbreakable (Of course he was still vulnerable to Magneto so it was a limited invulnerability to be sure, what fun is a character who can't be stopped or hurt after all?)

 

[AgDr_ODST]

travel the world living as a supreme hedonist only pausing in my travels to A) have sex with gorgeous women B) Smoke weed and do drugs and drink C) use my inability to die to make money (Russian roulette anyone?) to cover my world travels. And when it all gets to be to much I'd get another brilliant idea and persue it for a (life)time and go on and on and on and on...and then on the 1 day when I begin to go insane/lose my grip on reality I'll use my last remaining bit of cognitive thinking to buy or steal a nuclear bomb and blow it up in my hometown while Im strapped to it...and if that doesn't kill me then shit...i don't know what I'd do

 

[Sovereignty]

EASY!

I'm going to train myself in everything. Yes everything. Then in perhaps a thousand years, I should be the wisest creature on the planet.

Then I proceed to rule humanity.

 

[Eldarion]

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?

I guess some people wouldn't cope. We also have cases where people live full and relevantly happy lives. I don't care what some people did, I know who I am. I'm a glass is half full kinda guy really. I'm all for experiencing life as much as I can.

I mean sure, I might get tired of life eventually. But I think it would a long long time. Why worry about it now?

[Graevan]

Hmmm... immortal you say?
Right: Time to go chav hunting!
Those hyenas of adolescent humanity are in for it now! WHERE'S MY HOCKEY STICK?!

 

[Magicman10893]

I would buy really seemingly worthless items and store them somewhere in my house where they'll be safe from things like a fire or water damage or whatever so I can sell them in about 100 years in mint condition. Seriously, those auction hunters guys on TV buy and sell little shit like a "corn husker" or old diner plates because they're a century old. Wait until compact discs and DVDs are are rendered so unbelievably obsolete that they become treasures of a lost generation!

 

[Rayne870]

Donate one of my duplicate organs monthly lol. Either that or go completely off the grid and pull of a couple of heists, and "fake my death".

 

[BlindMessiah94]

Be a superhero, then slowly take over the world.

 

[Hunter15]

id become a horsemen of the Apocalypse maybe the embodiment of Chaos...yeah i could make the seas boil, bring governments to tehir knees then cut off their knees, and destroy orderly civilization til anarchy reigns supreme. that or bang every hot chick through the centuries till the entire population of earth consists of my children

 

[Koeryn]

Go through the military for a few years. By which I mean all of the military. Except Coast Guard, screw that. I have standards. (Before you get butt-hurt, stay outa the na-Imean this is a joke.)


And then go freelance for awhile or something. Buy some land, win the lottery a few times, and just be totally awesome.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I think I would eat breakfast.

I second this. Most important meal of the day.

I'm a Murphy's Law kind of guy: whatever can go wrong goes wrong.

I could easily see myself getting bored after a couple hundred of years. Doing science and creating stuff would end up being the one solid way of keping me entertained.

I think it is a longshot to expect to be the same kind of person after such a long time, so I bring my reasoning back to simple basics.

 

[Neo10101]

well, I would just live my life pretty normally as now, try not to draw too much attention, maybe move a couple times over the years, however, the kicker would be I would keep some old things, but some antiques and what not and take very good care of them, then sell them years and years down the road make tons o cash. Either that or just join the army, can't die so that problem is out, so Id eventually rise through the ranks and be epic.

Just wondering, us being immortal does that mean if we get a disease or something does it just disappear?
