Which kind of inmortality do you think is superior

the kind that makes you literally invulnerable to any kind of harm

or

the kind where you can get hurt and in fact you can die, but you are able to resurrect or heal in a short period of time.

Resurrection immortality can lead to situations where you're just chain dying, experiencing unimaginable pain never able to get out of that situation.

It's not a good thing, you know?

I think number two has more of a possibility to get out of imprisoned-for-ten-thousand-years-situations. If you're crushed by rocks, you could eventually have your guts crawl out of the cracks, don't know about a human form covered in rocks.

>> No.9258273

I'd rather have a really long life span with slow aging, like 200 years, than immortality

That shit would suck after a couple of thousand years when you outlived every human and there's no internet or nowhere to order food from and you have to act like it's the stone age

>> No.9258274

Here's the problem with immortality: health points =/= ability points. If someone is able to render you immobile somehow, it doesn't matter whether you live or die. You're trapped.

What if someone propels you into space? It's game over.

It would limit all your movement and eventually press you into the ocean's floor. From there, sediment will slowly build up on top of you until you are completely buried in a new layer of Earth.
Buried under the immense weight of the entire ocean and encased in a rock tomb, you shall remain immobile and trapped for the rest of time. Not even death will come to let you escape. Truly a horrible fate.
If you are particularly lucky, a volcano, earthquake, or mining operation shall free you, but it is very unlikely. Maybe the oceans will shift and you will be uncovered as a living fossil. However, you will probably stay there until the end of our dear planet. Perhaps when the Sun becomes a red giant, you shall be freed yet now you will be trapped in an inferno of immense nuclear fusion. Under all the weight and energy, if you someone manage to escape and our star doesn't become a white dwarf and slowly disappears, then you shall be left to float endlessly in space. With lightyears away from any hope or resemblance of life, it shall be near impossible to make it to another planet with so much space in between and only your body to be used to slowly swim through space.
Then again, you have all the time in the world to go wherever and do whatever you want....
So maybe that far off world is not so impossible, if it is still there by the time you arrive. Best get moving.

For number 2, do your body parts have to touch to heal? Like if you got your head cut off would you have to hold your head to the stub or will it just magically pop back on or regrow?

because that's not how water pressure works, obviously

>> No.9258321

>>9258301
I could be wrong so take this post with a grain of salt, but I think I learned a long time ago that pressure inside a fluid is distributed evenly. That should be why submarines compress into a ball, not into pancake.

So water pressure should be felt 360 degrees, meaning it doesn't just crush you into the ground. From that point on, it's a simple matter of adapting to the extreme pressures.

I think.

They are properly pressurized and adapted to the environment.
They might explode if you brought them to the surface.
The human body and muscle system isn't designed to work under such pressure.
That is unless you take the Magic School Bus down there.

And the truly deepest parts of the ocean, like the real deal deepest parts are uninhabitable by anything.

Well I was more inquiring about the point that they don't get sunk in like he said in the post.
Which makes sense now, since water pressure works from all sides at the same time.

>> No.9258349

>>9258213
The pressure under a liquid is linear. The difference you'd feel between your head and feet at 10 feet is the same as 1000 feet. It's not like you're going to go past a certain depth and then suddenly the water pressure pins you to the ground. If you can float up from 10 feet, you can float up from the mariana trench, as long as your density and/or volume don't change.. Though this is all assuming you're untouchable immortal.

You'd be fucked if you were regeneration immortal. The pressure would burst through your sinus cavity and ears into your head scrambling your brain, and your torso would be crushed to the size of a basketball. The water pressure would compress you until you're no longer buoyant, and then you're sinking to the bottom. You'd just be perma dead and unable to regenerate until something else drags you to the surface.

>>9258360
Almost.

For every foot you go down, water pressure increases by about 0.43 psi. There's always a small difference between the pressure at the top and bottom of an object, but that difference will be the same at any depth. There's always more pressure on the deeper bottom of an object than the higher top, which is why things float, as long as the force difference is greater than the object's weight.

That's why now I want to be an immortal shapeshifter who can stop time.
