Stipulations:
- You cannot die and are immune to disease
- You cannot alter the future such that you change the world from your point of origin. i.e. You cannot become so famous that future people recognize you as immortal.
- If you vary the timeline too much you will cease to exist.
if I am immortal then just do my own thing. Work a job for a while and move on. Rinse and repeat. I have been a nobody for 63 years. It is not really that hard. You know like the Highlander.
There can be only one…
touches nose
Functionally impossible unless you completely isolated yourself from civilization. Any impact to “the past” will alter your origin, even if just by changing which sperm cell fertilizes a complete stranger’s child. You have to define what “too much” variance means.
I guess I stay out of north america and fuck with operation gladio because people still can’t agree what the fuck was happening there so making Italy go full communist is probably safe and delicious
Become a famous actor, nobody will believe I’m immortal because it’s not possible.

You’re immortal
How do you survive…?
I think you answered your own question.
I think you need to read further than that…
Or, more likely, I was making a joke…
What country tho.
1945 for an ethnic Chinese in America is not exactly fun… racism and all1945 in China is um… yea I’m gonna get gulag’ed/laogai’ed
How does hunger and thirst work, if I cannot die? Do I still get hungry? What if I don’t eat? What if I just spend most of my time building a house in the woods and doing artwork for months or years at a time, since I don’t need to restock provisions?
You can eat if you want. It’s more if a question of boredom and losing your mind
Kill history’s greatest bastards and/or their parents until I destabilize and cease to exist.
I like this one. Changing the world for the better is noble
@FenrirIII live in a small contry, avoid unprotected sex, farm some cabages to ocupy time
I move to a country where you can have quality of life at very cheap costs. One of the larger Greek islands maybe. I try to live healthy even despite the “immune” feature because life is better then.
Make a fortune of course from knowing the future but keep it secret. Remain unknown to the greater public.
Buy a little house and a patch of land to grow my vegetables. Learn languages. Make friends.
Try to do ‘good things’ with the money (find out what good things are…).
I wonder how many people in this thread have read/seen 11.22.63 before.
Without some amount of preparation, I think I’d just end up mostly working for cash and living out of a van for most of that time, or otherwise staying off-grid. There’s a surprising amount of paperwork involved in legally existing as a person.
Also, since memorizing statistics is not one of my hobbies, I’d want/need some kind of written ledger to have an edge in back-alley sports betting.
Just for fun’s sake though, I’d try my hand at writing professionally again, as a novelist, but just ripping off the plots of movies and TV shows that haven’t been filmed yet. Self-publishing everything under pen names of course, to preserve my anonymity.
If you vary the timeline too much you will cease to exist.
But there’s a chance you will make the timeline better for those you leave behind? I’d be spending a lot of time in NYC, waiting for an opportunity…
Why did you make it so easy? Throw someone back to 10,000 BC. If its just ~80 years thats easy. You can’t die. Just go make a little place to hang out in a cave or somewhere extremely remote. You dont even need food or water.
Boredom. Imagine how boring it would be to just hide. I was hoping for some creative ideas.
You said you can’t change time or you cease to exist. What else are we supposed to do? You can’t exist and not change time.
You cannot change it so much that you alter the future. Doesn’t mean that you can’t live a fulfilling life or run things from the shadows.
But the catch is I dont know what will change time a lot or a little. If I get in an elevator and shit my pants in front of Utada Hikaru does she never write Simple & Clean? I simply cannot know, so with those rules I have to isolate.
She would certainty nor say that simple and clean is the way you are making her feel.
Why not operate under the assumption that your future self has already gotten away with everything? Taking advantage of the bootstrap paradox. Like Bill & Ted, everything around the dad’s keys. Might at least be fun, that way.
Are you looking for ideas on things to do? When are you going back to 1945 and what part of the world would you be in?
NYC, just after the war ends
Living in a cave for 10,000 years without seeing someone is the best environment to discover new hobbies.
