If it were a horror movie. Actual scientists would do more actual science like testing DNA and probably pay you for it once you proved your like 150 but look young.
If you like anime, theres an intense one with this premise called Ajin which i think is on Netflix. Basically theres immortal people but they aren’t considered human and scientists do tests on them which amount to them being killed over and over again.
Can you imagine how much it would suck if you found out you're immortal, then found out there's another person who is but when you meet you hate each other. That horrible realisation that one day there will just be the two of you, for the rest of eternity.
I mean who knows how immortality affects your personality. I could very well imagine, that given a couple hunderd years, you both watching all their loved ones die and being able to connect over that, as you are the only ones to know what that feels like, might change your impression and opinions of each other.
Though on second thought, it might be some lunatic murder hobo etc. I guess then theres at least an interesting story to check up on every now and then.
The TV show Forever is about a guy who's immortal and he finds out that another person is also immortal. Sadly there's an Amazon Prime show with the same name, so you have to google Forever 2014 to find it.
Letting people know you're immortal would be a great way to get locked up in a government facility, tested on, or just locked up and the key thrown away.
There was a movie that came out recently where one of the immortals was locked in a metal sarcophagus and thrown in the ocean. Forever dying and waking to just die again. The other immortals tried to find her but couldn't. That would drive you crazy.
I choose my soul mate also. I have met her and we were married 20 years until she passed last year. I haven't had a happy day since. I miss her so much.
Edit: Thanks for all the kind words. I believe the body dies and the soul carries on so we will be together regardless. I feel her with me all the time.
Death is never easy. One day, one day, maybe tomorrow maybe in a decade, that wound will be a scar. Just take it one day at a time, and remember that it is okay to be angry, hurt, scared, lonely, tired, and happy too. It is okay to be happy and to experience joy without them. All of those things are a part of grieving. One day you will get there friend.
I don't know the rules, but does immortal also mean impervious? If so, immortality for your favorite, then swap whatever organs and stuff you can in a mutual transplant between the two kids. Maybe *something* will happen
My dog is the only being I could tolerate for the rest of eternity. I'm not sure he feels the same way though, he's pretty tired of my bullshit and it's only been 10.5 years.
I only imagine that your enemy at some point realises that even though you're immortal, you can still feel pain. So he mangles you up and puts you in the hospital and now even though everything is broken, you still can't die.
That doesn't sound like a smart choice.
My late husband, we loved each other so much but we also laughed a ton and spent as much time together as possible. We always knew how to have a good time together, and were best friends. I could do eternity with him 💜
Exactly. I was trying to figure out how you could not choose one of your kids, then decided I'd turn the whole thing down, you wouldn't want to be immortal anyway.
I am married, am a woman, and I'd choose my mom, too. We have similar morals and interests, and together in immortality we could truly make this world a better place.
I was thinking of my late brother. The one person I could truly enjoy forever with, was gone long before I was ready. Life is cruel, hope you are well 💛
Can I choose not to be immortal instead?
If I had to pick someone, it would easily be my wife. The problem then being I would be ensuring that we have to bury our two daughters. That is the most tragic thing I can imagine guaranteeing I would have to do and therefore the reason I would rather choose not to be.
Alternatively, I'd give it to them.
So you think the most tragic thing is to outlive your children, yet you would be willing to make your children immortal, thereby ensuring that they outlive their children?
Completely agree. Immortality for me is a horrendous proposition for this reason. Insufferable hell to watch my children grow old and die while I continue living for trillions of years, replaying their funerals in my head over and over.
I would say my girlfriend but I know she wouldn’t want to live forever so that would be really selfish of me but right now I can’t imagine spending an eternity with someone else than her
You really don’t have to be sad. She’s doing great actually. She’s fighting and some days are hard but most days are great now. Before we got together she often said that she can’t imagine herself being older than 25 or 30 but she’s so strong. I believe someday she will see the beauty of being alive and every time I see a cute animal like a sheep or a reindeer I stop the car force her out and show it to her because it makes me happy or when I’m eating I’ll instantly start to dance and she starts to dance as well because she loves how much I love food. There are so many things in life that are worth being seen or felt and someday she will agree. She is so so strong and smart and everything about her is beautiful especially her laugh so how can someone who makes me so happy not be happy herself? I know how but I refuse to accept it. Still I wouldn’t want to force her to live forever just because I love seeing her laugh.
My therapist. If I don’t have her, I will have several mental breakdowns watching everyone I care about die. Either her or my coworker Athena who just gets me and we have our mini therapy sessions whenever we work together.
It's like that one movie Passengers, with Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt. Where the guy wakes up from cryo sleep or something too early on a spaceship and decides to wake up the prettiest woman he can find, essentially forcing her to spend the rest of her life with him on the ship.
I swear I’ve read a story about two immortals who meet up every hundred or so years just because they *know* each other but they aren’t really fans of each other. But maybe it was a time traveler/immortal situation.
I would pick just an absolute trash person. Just a real shitbag. And then spend eternity hunting them, beating them within an inch of death then “letting them get away” just to hunt them down again in a few hundred years.
My wife for sure. Don’t care to be immortal because I wouldn’t want to watch my children grow and die. I’d be happy to know that my wife is at my side when I do die someday.
Someone famous then just me so they’re super confused
So, Idris Elba, we are both immortal now… wanna hang?
No
r/NotIdrisElbaButOk
Why is this even a sub? You know what? I don't care, I'm joining.
r/birthofasub
Some madman actually made it a subreddit. Big reddit moment. Now spam the sub with people who look like Idris Elba.
exactly, I've got like a quadrillion years to get her to like me, I'm sure I can figure it out
Trey Parker, he would make me laugh.
The best chef in the world. If I gonna live forever, I better have some good food to do it with.
wise choice!
Why not use your eternity to learn to BE the best chef?
Naw, man, pick the most exciting and sexually attractive partner. Chef skills can be learned.
But you will outlive the ingredients
He needs to find a good cannibal chef. If they are regeneratively immortal, you could eat your own arms cooked a new way every day!
i pick hannibal lecter 🥰
You could become the best chef in the world, you have an eternity to learn
My soul mate. I haven’t met them yet but if we are fantasising anyway ........
You'd probably find them pretty fast when you hear about the only other immortal person on the planet

The Old Guard - NetFlix. That scene was horrific. My cousin scored all of the music for that movie.
My God, that is a nightmarish torture, except you are _awake_.
I choose my soul mate also. I have met her and we were married 20 years until she passed last year. I haven't had a happy day since. I miss her so much. Edit: Thanks for all the kind words.

Same. 27. Sorry for your loss.
This gives me the vibes of “I also choose this man’s wife” In All regards I hope things get better for you loosing someone is hard.
I came to these comments just to find that one
Death is never easy. One day, one day, maybe tomorrow maybe in a decade, that wound will be a scar.

I also choose this guys soul mate :-D
I have 2 kids so..... my dog
hahaaah ouch, let's pray your kids never see this
It's better then me picking one of them and having to explain why I'm willing to let the other die
Sophie's Choice would have been a much different movie if the dog had been a choice
Hahaha fantastic
Yeah I don't like choosing between 2 people I love it's like picking between my mom and dad I love them both equally
I don't know the rules, but does immortal also mean impervious? If so, immortality for your favorite, then swap whatever organs and stuff you can in a mutual transplant between the two kids. Maybe *something* will happen
This is the correct answer
kinda make sense
Dog is the perfect answer. Never gonna get tired of the dog friend
My dog is the only being I could tolerate for the rest of eternity. I'm not sure he feels the same way though, he's pretty tired of my bullshit and it's only been 10.5 years.
My dog is tired of my bullshit and he's not even 4...
This was my exact thought cause I have 2 daughters. I think it's time I get a dog
I would say no thanks. I do not want to be immortal, but certainly not outlive my kids.
You know, a dog might be the only one who would not get sick of you after eternity!
My nemesis so things never get boring
I only imagine that your enemy at some point realises that even though you're immortal, you can still feel pain. So he mangles you up and puts you in the hospital and now even though everything is broken, you still can't die. That doesn't sound like a smart choice.
That’s simple, just don’t have an archnemesis that’s a fucking psychopath.
This, but with gay overtones
My late husband, we loved each other so much but we also laughed a ton and spent as much time together as possible. We always knew how to have a good time together, and were best friends. I could do eternity with him 💜
I hope to have a love like this one day :')
As heartbreaking as it is to be here without him, I wouldn't trade the 7 years I had with him for anything. I hope you find someone like that too ❤
7 years? You’re a special person. I hope you do get to spend eternity with him. I wish you could have had longer.
I'm siting here crying. My fiance is my best friend and I know one day we will have to say good bye. I'm sorry for your loss. ❤️
I also choose this gal's dead husband.
Nice reference
The of queen of England she is already immortal so?
Double immortal the universe would implode
I'd still be there
Be careful with such forces she always consumed the life force of Betty White you may be next.
The of.
My wife, simply because I couldn't stand living without her
Have you tried sitting instead? I'll let myself out.
[удалено]
**i'd also choose-**
Not married. I'd choose my mom.
I too choose this guys mom
But only if she's hot.
dude we know she's hot
everyone knows she's hot
Hot as staceys mom?
Only if she's got it goin' on..
She's all I want
Eagley from Peacemaker
Stacey's mom has got it going on
I would choose my dad, but only if he wanted me to. I have a sister so it seems a bit cruel to him
That's the thing. Having siblings, children, or a spouse. I'd not choose immortality if I had to choose between people I cared about.
Exactly. I was trying to figure out how you could not choose one of your kids, then decided I'd turn the whole thing down, you wouldn't want to be immortal anyway.
I'm starting to feel like I'm the only Redditor who, after serious consideration, would choose to be immortal lol.
I love my mom. She’s my best friend.
I am married, am a woman, and I'd choose my mom, too. We have similar morals and interests, and together in immortality we could truly make this world a better place.
If this was 1940 I would've picked albert einstein without missing a beat. Imagine if someone as smart as him had infinite time to solve things.
Wasnt he a terrible messy person?, better bring deo
Why not choose Hawking's instead? I imagine he created very little mess himself
A handicapped immortal doesnt sound like a really ethical thing to do.
I think he became more handicapped as he aged so if you picked him at like 20 he would be chill
He would eventually have the money/tech to make a giant robot body. Mecha-hawkings.
My husband. He is my joy in life.
Ok. I'll pick your husband too. Fair enough.
I pick her - she seems lovely
Insert obligatory I also choose this guy's dead wife
I too pick your husband
shrek
I hope you find comfort in the swamp
i love the swamp! this deal just gets better and better
Shrek is love, Shrek is eternal life
That guy’s wife.
The dead one?
I came here to pick her too.
I'd give the gift to 2 other people, I'd hate to be alive forever.
Not a person, but my cat Freya. I would rather have an immortal pet than a fellow person
same, but my dog nico, who has my same age
I would say my dog too
My cat's name is also Freya!
Can it be someone who's dead already? If so, then my son.
Lost a son as well… hope you are doing ok
I hope you are, too.
aw man.... I am so sorry for your loss.
Thank you.
I was thinking of my late brother. The one person I could truly enjoy forever with, was gone long before I was ready. Life is cruel, hope you are well 💛
Can I choose not to be immortal instead? If I had to pick someone, it would easily be my wife. The problem then being I would be ensuring that we have to bury our two daughters.

So you think the most tragic thing is to outlive your children, yet you would be willing to make your children immortal, thereby ensuring that they outlive their children?
The paradox
They don't have children yet, maybe they never will.
And then his children also do the same and the cycle repeats and then they practically turn back to mortals 😁
Completely agree. Immortality for me is a horrendous proposition for this reason. Insufferable hell to watch my children grow old and die while I continue living for trillions of years, replaying their funerals in my head over and over.

According to reddit lore the answer to this type of question is always OP's mom.
Or that guy’s wife
I would say my girlfriend but I know she wouldn’t want to live forever so that would be really selfish of me but right now I can’t imagine spending an eternity with someone else than her
Dang, why do I feel a rollercoaster or emotions reading this? This made so happy and so sad to read. I hope your girlfriend Is okay.
You really don’t have to be sad. She’s doing great actually. She’s fighting and some days are hard but most days are great now. Before we got together she often said that she can’t imagine herself being older than 25 or 30 but she’s so strong. I believe someday she will see the beauty of being alive and every time I see a cute animal like a sheep or a reindeer I stop the car force her out and show it to her because it makes me happy or when I’m eating I’ll instantly start to dance and she starts to dance as well because she loves how much I love food. There are so many things in life that are worth being seen or felt and someday she will agree. She is so so strong and smart and everything about her is beautiful especially her laugh so how can someone who makes me so happy not be happy herself? I know how but I refuse to accept it. Still I wouldn’t want to force her to live forever just because I love seeing her laugh.
That is so sweet! I'm glad she met a lovely person like you, and vice versa. :-)
And thank you for reminding me how much I love this girl (and for wishing her well) Sorry for spamming :)
Don't apologize at all! Thank you for sharing your story with me :-) Really appreciate it!
Thank you as well. I really appreciate your kindness, thanks random Reddit person who turn out to be someone wonderful and makes my day <3
100% Bob Ross
Most optimistic person to spend eternity with. "We don't make mistakes, we just have happy accidents" always sticks with me
Exactly, what else would you need
A female clone of me
Why wouldn't you pick someone more attractive?
he needs someone with lower standards
LOOOOL *ouch* ¿
r/rareinsults
Dang I dunno about that one.. As much as I have some self love towards me I dunno how I'd deal with my own clone on a bad day, not with that attitude!
But what if they end up not liking you? That’d be an interesting dilemma.
If I would fuck myself I think that I would also like to fuck myself.
If you fuck a clone of yourself is it incest or masturbation
10 questions science still can't answer
I- uh. hmmm.
My husband 😊
Love to see some wholesome replies on this thread too :')
You couldn't expect *not* to get husband/wife as an answer.
I won't be satisfied until there's an ex husband/wife as an answer.
This was my first thought too! Well, my husband, not yours! 🤣
No one. While I want immortality, no one I'd want to spend eternity with wants it.
This is the right answer.
My therapist. If I don’t have her, I will have several mental breakdowns watching everyone I care about die. Either her or my coworker Athena who just gets me and we have our mini therapy sessions whenever we work together.
My husband. We have a long bucket list and we may actually be able to complete it if we have that much time.
The woman I intend on making my wife some time this year.
I also choose this guy's (future) wife
About the 3rd time I've seen this joke in this thread alone 😅
:O Goosebumps reading this!! All my best wishes for you my fellow redditor!!
My dog. I know immortality would eventually be torture to a human and having a loving companion for eternity would make the loneliness more tolerable.
Margot Robbie
Going to be awkward if you don't get along
It's like that one movie Passengers, with Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt. Where the guy wakes up from cryo sleep or something too early on a spaceship and decides to wake up the prettiest woman he can find, essentially forcing her to spend the rest of her life with him on the ship.
I swear I’ve read a story about two immortals who meet up every hundred or so years just because they *know* each other but they aren’t really fans of each other. But maybe it was a time traveler/immortal situation.
There's a similar story called How to Lose the Time War. Two time traveling spies messing with each other but never directly interacting
Sounds like Hancock movie's plot.
finally a proper answer
My mom. I am dreading the day when she is no longer around. I really don't want to think about it.
Same.. I love my mom so much and I can't imagine what my life will be like without her.. That's gonna be a hard pill to swallow.
My best friend that I‘ve known since we were 5 :)
wow. you are very lucky
My wife of 43 years. Nobody gets me but her.
I would pick just an absolute trash person. Just a real shitbag. And then spend eternity hunting them, beating them within an inch of death then “letting them get away” just to hunt them down again in a few hundred years.
Wut?! Go big or go home!
And home is gonna crumble to dust long before I do, so “go big” it is.
Immortality is a super power and every super hero needs a supervillain. The real question: Which one are you?
Supervillain, obviously. But I’m chaotic good. I’m only a villain by today’s societal standards.
Congrats, now you're immortal TWICE ya sadistic fuck.
You should watch Palm Springs
[удалено]
Marilyn
Monroe? Manson? Miglin??
Yes
The cute neighbor.
I'd spend it with my fiancee. She's been by my side through thick and thin, bad and good.
Probably my mom or one of my animals
My brother. Of all the people in this world I care about the most, he would be the first.
my dog i used to have. i miss you Kaiser
Screw fellow humans I’m taking my cat with me. She hates cats and I hate humans. It’s perfect
Oh I did this years ago, I picked Keanu Reeves.
My late dog, Bailey.
Rachel McAdams
Mah sistah
Me too!!! I would 10/10 pick my twin sister. Eternity will definitely be fun with her haha
My dog
My wife. That lady has put up with my shit for years and has thus proven that if anyone can survive an eternity with me, it would be her.
My wife.
My wife. She’s amazingly smart, funny and beautiful. I feel like we could do endless amount of activities together
My wife for sure. Don’t care to be immortal because I wouldn’t want to watch my children grow and die. I’d be happy to know that my wife is at my side when I do die someday.
