I'd be fine with just the knowledge.

That would, in my eyes, be the ultimate achievement. Being able to collect and compile a database of all information in the universe ever.

Indeed, being an immortal being of wisdom.

[miauw62]

I agree with greatorder. Being immortal would really suck.

[Flying Dice]

Being immortal would be incredible, assuming it isn't one of those shitty sorts of immortality. Boring at times, sure, but you've got all the time there is to think of new things to do. And depending on the specific mechanics of it, you'd either start losing old memories or become unable to properly store new ones after a few thousand years. If you don't actually remember everything you've done, it's a lot less boring. I'd take a shot at immortality, not without question, no, (genre savvy, eh?), but fairly eagerly.

I once said "The last thing I ever want to do is die".
I thought it was entirely valid as my friend face-palmed. We all have slow moments.

I want to live longer than I probably will (i.e. 110 at best, in all likelihood) and age more slowly, but I still want to die, in the end. Living forever would really begin to suck.

I for one would rather enjoy the honour of being able to witness the heat death of the universe along with everything in between.

"Back in my days..."

HRRMPH! back in my day, we had uneven entropy!

If we had even entropy then there wouldn't be a heat death of the universe, since we could invert it backwards with !!SCIENCE!!.

And personally I don't see what would be wrong with living forever (assuming that you were able to restore yourself to a good physical and mental state of health. I mean I don't really see what would suck about it, especially if you were living in an advanced enough world where anyone could live forever. Nobody you know is dying either, there are always new things to do so boredom isn't necessarily going to be a problem, and you are in a good state of body/mind, so I don't see why it would be so bad.

Write things down to prevent forgetfulness.
And time passing isn't really a problem if you live forever. And since you can continue gathering information indefinitely insanity was inevitable from the start. Not like it's a problem. Sanity is not necessary.

The main problem of living forever: What will happen when the Universe ends? The end of the universe shall also mark the end of time and space. The only thing that shall remain is you, with your incredible amounts of knowledge. Soon, you shall start pondering, solving questions that no man's solved before. After a while (Okay, there's no time, but shut up) you shall solve every question there is, and you shall grow bored. Incredibly bored. So, using your incredible willpower, you shall create Matter, and Matter shall expand into another Universe, one that you'll be able to bend at your own whims.

... Wait, that actually sounds pretty damned sweet.

[RedKing]

I would be okay with living until the heat death of the universe. That would give me a lot of time to stockpile power, money, and scientific knowledge.

Also, I could facepunch whole generations of people! How freakin' cool would that be?

But you could prevent the heat death of the universe by punching it to keep it warm!

[Graknorke]

Thing is that the universe would probably be the same as this once, since the knowledge collected would all have come from this one.

Then you could try and relocate where Earth will be and utilise your well-learned patience to try and wait until your own time comes around; but eventually realise that this is not your Earth. No matter how identical, there is no place for you here.

"Why would you want to use solar enegry, won't the sun run out?"

Teenagers, I swear.

[Graknorke]

"Why would you want to use solar enegry, won't the sun run out?"

Teenagers, I swear.

I resent that.

[MonkeyHead]

"Why would you want to use solar enegry, won't the sun run out?"

Teenagers, I swear.

I resent that.

Crossthread YOLO!

[miauw62]

"Why would you want to use solar enegry, won't the sun run out?"

Teenagers, I swear.

The sun runs out eventually, tough

[Alnos]

I am a teenager too, but let's face it, teenagers are dumb.

[Scelly9]

Maybe the ones you talk to.

[Alnos]

I'm not saying ALL teenagers are dumb, it's just that the ones my age are immature still (myself included).
