| As opposed to being bored I think I'd be stressed out from having to figure out a way to successfully live life if I'm immortal. |
  |
| Honestly there is no reason to get bored with the amount of stuff the world has to offer and the amount of things one can do. |

Lolsebca said: MrSwingingbison said: No theres just so much to do. You can be a doctor, engineer, stay at home dad, travel. Live in different countries even 100 years, and not to mention things are constantly changing. Life every 200 or so years is extremely different. So nah I wouldn't be so sure, if your society declines you're left with surviving in the same ecosystem for generations and generations. Once the planet ends you may burn in the sun, or be cold in the endlessness of space for billions of years while on planets you would remain less time. Basically your only memories will mostly be that of empty space and of slowly drifting... PERSONALLY: I would be all for living for longer though, like 1000 more years. Enough to read some books, learn some stuff, create some art and love someone. Fair point Everything has an ending at some point |
| I never get bored and I can always entertain myself (I can get bored while doing something that I'd specifically consider boring, of course). So, I would definitely want immortality, if it means being eternally young, of course. But I would also want an option of at least being able to kill myself, because while I'm not worried of getting bored, I'm afraid of not being able to handle suffering which is life forever, so I'd want a way out on my terms. |
| Some billionaires invest in researches to figure out a way to extend their lives as much as possible to the point of immortality. Pathetic. |
 |
| No and yes??? There’s so much stuff you can do with immortality. Like change careers and travel and explore the whole world. Although you would probably outlive your friends, family. Lover, so that wouldn’t be any fun. |
| it usually doesn't really take much to keep me entertained. just put a sketchbook or laptop in front of me and i'll be good for a couple of hours. and if i ever somehow get tired of that, being immortal will give a lot of opportunity to travel and try new things. i don't like the idea of being immortal though. seeing all my friends and family die is something i don't want to live through. |

NoblePellinore said: Yeah totally U would need so much money to keep living forever Like u could never retire u would always need a job The smart game plan is to save money in a diversified stock portfolio then live off the capital gains with your wealth put into a nice stock/bond mix thereafter. Infinite retirement woo. |
| if that Immortal i get it in isekai why not but if in this world no thank. i just want to life to watch end of anime era  |
 |
| It would probably be ok for a few hundred years since I could change my lifestyles but I would eventually run out of things to do and get bored Also if everyone on earth dies expect me it would be boring |

| yes after a couple hundred. my time perception would probably change and it would be fun to see mortals evolve as if watching a small cage of ants do their stuff. then i can do fun stuff too like idk have them see me as a god and worship me. Do experiments and play with them bc im a horrible person. (as long as they dont tell me their back story cause that would cause pity) But yea no after that i would probably die from boredom. I can only get enough praise and it will wear off eventually |

Freshell said: Figuratively speaking, of course. Some people think that it would. I'm not so convinced. Sounds like one of those sour grape justifications. "Yeah, well, I didn't want to live forever anyway!" Personally, I think it's very possible to be indefinitely entertained. How about you? With the way civilization, technology and entertainment changes all the time I say no I wouldn't grow bored of immortality. |
| I'd never get bored of seeing humanity's slow, downward spiral. That's a good while of excellent entertainment. |
on 
| It wouldn't bore me 'cause I would spend all my time trying to figure out how to die. |
 In this world shrouded in darkness, I learned there was someone who’d been struggling along with me. That alone is enough.  |
| although, to me the idea of immortality is awfully enticing, i don't think i'm the right person to receive it. there's far too much that can go wrong and far too much that will go wrong. i'd also go insane if i see everyone i love and come to love die, while i am forced to continue living with all that i have seen. you can't escape. you cannot even escape by trying to end it yourself. you may be immortal but that doesn't mean you suddenly get a power-up, do you? if someone locks you up because they found out that you are immortal and wish to experiment, you're done for. they can just simply tell their colleagues or successors to lock you up again once they themselves die of old age, no, fk that. if the human race gets wiped out, am i supposed to hang out with the amoeba? huh? am i? |
| Being immortal would be like my worst Dream come true , im already pretty bored rn. Being immortal would just take out all meaning out of my life , i would completely loose all motivation since i can do it whenever i want and so on . In short , id hate it |

| I'd love to be immortal. The people who are against it always use the ridiculous, cartoonish version of immortality, where even a supernova can't kill you. |
--ALEX-- said: In various works of Fiction, immortality is actually shown to be a CURSE....not a blessing. A curse of never being able to age. The curse of watching your loved ones die as you stay behind. Trust me, this would be a torturous existence. Meh. I barely speak to my family anyway. |
| There would be only so much time before the gov realize what you are and vivisect you. |
Ezekiel said: you say that, but ironically you too are assuming that you will be able to die when given immortality. who knows what kind of immortality can be achieved by humans, and because there is no such known immortality achieved by humans yet that we can base it off of, the people that have replied in disagreeing with wanting immortality in this thread are going off of the OP's rules of immortality (as they said, avoiding all disasters). the very idea of immortality in humans is fictitious, thus there are no grounds to bar people from suggesting a more extreme version of what they consider as immortality.I'd love to be immortal. The people who are against it always use the ridiculous, cartoonish version of immortality, where even a supernova can't kill you. |
| Probably unless there are other new forms of entertainment to supplement current forms of entertainment. Imagine being immortal since the middle ages without modern technology. |
 |
| It would be scarier than boring knowing that our world or even the universe isn't everlasting. |
| I believe everyone here is thinking too simply about being immortal. You want to travel the world? There is only so much to explore. You want to do achieve all of the things you set your mind to with no time limit like becoming a doctor/engineer/parent? You aren't even living to your fullest potential now as you lurk on a random forum post on an anime website. What makes you think you would change as a person just because you are given more time? You want to consume every piece of media to exist? Do you honestly think that you will be able to watch these things without noticing all of the tropes and predictable plotlines that merge together until you can't even enjoy it because you have seen it done better on 50 other shows. That is if you even remember what you have previously watched as your memory makes everything blur together until what you watched yesterday is indistinguishable from what you watched 50 years ago. If you really want to beat boredom you have to look at what the current immortals are doing: going to high school. After a few years you should be able to ace any course you take after completing it multiple times before (except maybe a current events class) so you can just immerse yourself into the high school atmosphere. Become a high school student in spirit, just not in the flesh. A very intimate LARPing session. The main difficulty would be having to constantly switch schools so that no one finds out your secret. If you do not have immortal friends already, this may be a good way to find some. A chance encounter could find you transferring again and again with another immortal and you could become friends that way. Do not make friends with mortals because you would ultimately have to leave them behind as you transfer schools. Until you meet that one special girl. Different from other mortals. You fall in love with her and become conflicted because you live two completely different lives in two completely different worlds. What do you do? Make her immortal too. Boom that is how you stay entertained forever as an immortal. |

| I think it would send me into a spiral of pain and depression seeing everyone I care and love pass away and in turn I wouldn't want to do anything so yes it would be extremely boring lmao. |
| βγ»γγ»γβγ»(* Ν‘° ΝΚ Ν‘°) ~Aphotic βγ»γγ»γβγ»γ |
| yes, because im already bored asf of everything and could hardly commit to anything. if I end up with that ability I would probably sleep for the rest of my life because it's better than suffering. |
 |
| I think my Steam library alone could get me though it. |

| Well if we are talking about being immortal for 1000-2000 years , I would willingly like to but forever? Nahh that would indeed be too boring |
| Most people in their 70’s and 80’s look like they’ve grown bored of life, so I can’t imagine how boring it would be if people were immortal. I think Neil DeGrasse Tyson said it best: “It is the knowledge that I am going to die that creates the focus that I bring to being alive. The urgency of accomplishment. The need to express love — now, not later. If we live forever, why even get out of bed in the morning? Because we always have tomorrow. That's not the type of life I want to lead." |
| If I was immortal, I'd probably want to go everywhere and see everything. Then again, being immortal would bring a whole slew of problems, like the age-old "immortality ≠ infinite youth" dilemma or the small issue of roaming the planet for another 4.5 billion years until the Sun turns into a red giant and quite literally blows the Earth apart. Probably the most horrible fate would be if even the Sun's death didn't kill you. Imagine it. Sitting there, alone in a dead Universe, for trillions upon trillions upon trillions of years, so far in the future that there are nothing but stars, that there is no light, only an everlasting void. There would never be anything. For trillions of years, you quite literally would never be able to die until the Universe itself dies (which, based on current scientific understanding, will never happen). And if the Universe itself doesn't die, you wouldn't die. You would have lived for trillions of years, day after day, minute after minute, alone in an empty Universe where nothing has happened and nothing will ever happen again. Holy crap. Writing this answer gave me genuine chills. I can't imagine a life like that. I'd probably go insane after everyone else around me dies and there's no one to talk to. We as a species need social interaction. ---- Edit: Corleone said: There would be only so much time before the gov realize what [you are and vivisect you. Problem is, even if you are vivisected, you'd be alive to witness it and you'd be alive through the whole procedure. I wouldn't wish that fate on anyone, unless being immortal also meant you wouldn't feel pain at the same time. |
