you're immortal, now what?

It's a real life event lmao. in 1605 Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament in the UK to install a Catholic theocracy. It's the origin of the British tradition of Bonfire Night celebrated on November 5th.

Torchwood is a special kind of goofy. The first episode is an alien STD that kills you when you orgasm. HOWEVER, when it tries to be serious, it's amazing. If you start anywhere, watch the miniseries "Children of Earth." Holy fuck is that bleak.

"The hit. They create chemicals. The chemicals are good."

The author, Harlan Ellison, is insanely influential. This short story is the inspiration for Terminator. A Boy and His Dog was the basis for Fallout. Harlan was also a massively belligerent prick who got into public fistfights with people at conventions and kept suing anyone who came close to copying his ideas. I kinda love the guy tbh, he was hilarious.

Looked it up, it's called Akinetopsia. The brain cannot perceive motion so all the person see's is a discontinuous freeze frame effect.

 

Would meet great people as much as possible.

 

Probably try to live in every Country for a spell and learn each language. Figure out a way to reach the deepest depth of the sea.

As a Canadian, I’m assuming I’ve become Deadpool, so I’ll have to find Francis.

Side note, does everyone think Canada is some sort of wonderland? I mean it’s nice in certain places and all, but it’s not some fantasy utopia.

 

Death with Interruptions
Novel by José Saramago

 

Cull the weak.

 

Become an ant.

 

I'm going to have you arrested for cultural appropriation. Only 120% pure-blood Anglos should be allowed to celebrate Bonfire Night. GOD SAVE THE QUEEN! *Anthem starts playing at ear-splitting levels, blood starts pouring from my nose.

I'm not sure where you would actually watch it, cause it's a BBC program. It's basically an edgy Dr Who spinoff.

This clip of Harlan Ellison is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Yeah it sounds really terrible. I envision it as everyone around you being like a Silent Hill monster, juddering all over the place.

 

Imagine having to...

 

Imagine beating your wife?

 

We are already immortal. Life is death and death is life.

Our flesh-suit.. not so much.

 

One of the benefits of being immortal, I think, would be in how much wisdom one could get and share. You'd become the ultimate teacher, helping to change the lives of people for (your) eternity.

I'd most likely be living in cave though. Would probably become the second coming of Diogenes as well, but slightly nicer. Only slightly.

 

Books, notes.

For normal immortals anyway.

But for me, it'll be nothing. I'll be a cave dwelling, rain showering, semi grumpy guy with an insanely long beard and rotted teeth.

 

Or being a wise guy.
