I’ll start off with one, Being upset about a breakup that happened hundreds of years ago.
Either humanity gradually grows to despise you for your ancient morals
or they don’t ever meaningfully surpass where we’re at today.
Just depression in general. I don’t want to live one lifetime, let alone never being able to die.
If you’re immortal in a body that isn’t broken then that might be a different story, but you’d still grow to love people only to have to lose them and go through that pain over and over.
Based on your question, you might dig the book “Boat of a Million Years.” The author put quite a bit of thought into just that.
The eventual heat death of the universe would be painful
But would you survive?
Depends on the type of immorality. Do you continue to age? If no, what age do you stop? Eventually the universe will die. So what happens to you then?
It might be fun for a while. Maybe even a long while. But that fun will be gone in an instant compared to the trillions and trillions of years you will float in a dark dying universe of nothing.
Presumably you will advance along with humanity though, or failing that, just figure out the transcendence thing yourself with so much time?
I don’t think anyone would choose to stay ‘meatbag human’ for trillions of years.
Being asked your birthdate in order to view a game on Steam, and the year dropdown not going back far enough.
Date pickers that assume you have a 5 digit birth year.
The Sun will eventually fry all life on Earth and boil off the water & atmosphere. Eventually the Sun will die out completely, leaving you on a cold, dark rock.
With no atmosphere and the sun going nova, there’s a chance of the rock getting obliterated. With a nice boost you might fly off to another planet eventually. Might not be inhabited or even inhabitable, but hey.
I think I’d have enough time to build a rocket…
You’d have Musk-levels of wealth before long, so maybe.
Heat death of the universe though 🥶🥶🥶
Government Bureaucracy.
Renewing a driver’s licence or passport. The individual looking at your application will see the date of birth and raise a red flag.
immortality doesn’t guarantee perpetual health, you’re alive, but so broken and sick you wish you could die, but you can’t
Yeah this answer.
Imagine being immortal and you get stuck somewhere.
Like in a giant land slide.
Boredom after some period of time, you will have some everything there is to do.
You get to pursue all of the really niche crafts. Things like clock making and random complicated stuff like that.
I don’t think one could ever be bored with enough curiosity, and the means to pursue it.
That’s really a valid point.
Not if you constantly invent new things to do
As we get older, our perception of time speeds up. An immortal would easily lose track of time after just two human lifetimes, causing an immortal to suffer from dementia-like symptoms where they expect one date but find themselves habitually late. And since time doesn’t mean the same thing as us to an immortal, they would eventually become disconnected from the world around them and be unable to reintegrate. They wouldn’t be able to maintain friendships, relationships, mortgages, payments, etc. They would be surrounded by people but forever alone.
Friends, family, and lovers dying before you.
Does yer dick still work when you’re like 150?
Man, you took it too real too quick
Watching history repeat itself.
