Fuck forever, just let my upcoming prostate biopsy be negative. I'm retiring and I have shit to do that doesn't involve sitting in front of the TV wearing a diaper.

good luck, friend. this internet stranger will be keeping you in mind. nobody deserves some of the shit life dishes out, i sincerely hope this goes well for you.
I have "kidnapped" a small child and am brainwashing them to think like me.
they will be me, essentially.
one day they will do the same, and "I" will live on for eternity.
I don't even think I wanna wake up tomorrow.
Why would anyone want this?
I won't
I'll try to eat healthy and exercise, but besides that I'm not planning on doing anything.
Just fly a rocket into a stable orbit near a black hole and wait until the time dilation causes 1000s of years to pass on earth, then go back and hope someone has figured it out.
If eternity is all time, and all the time I have is 80 or so years (hopefully), then that is eternity, for me. I'll already live "forever".
Only insane billionaires plan for that.
I'm not looking to live forever. Just another 40 to 50 years as long as I'm healthy. Only plan for that is to eat somewhat healthy and get a couple hours of cardio and strength training in a few times a week. Nothing obsurd just enough to maintain strength as I age and get the heart pumping.

I have no intention of trying to be immortal, just try to live a long time through healthy eating and exercise
You only die when the last person forgets your name. So I'm going to be remembered forever, all books in history should have a dedicated page about me.
Oh no.
I honestly can't think of anything less appealing than dealing with other people forever.
Return question: If you do have a plan to live forever, do you have a plan B how to end it, when (not if) it becomes unbearable?
Or when (not if) you've lost the last shard of your sanity?

I only plan for things that are possible so no plan to live forever.
Having said that, scientists are working on a cure for aging. Even if they sort that out before I die, the treatments will be too expensive for me.

The sheer anger and hatred of wanting to see certain, unnamed people(s) die before I do. Let the rage keep me going in order to hopefully outlive some people. Thankfully a lot of those people are either currently either middle aged to elderly or just older than me.
But that's if nuclear war doesn't happen because I'm in an area that will hopefully be wiped off the map and I'll hopefully just be dust.
Look at the world around you, do you really want to live forever? The more time passes the more death seams like retirement from life.
The name on my Park Run card is "Do Not Resuscitate"
Walking more.
I'm just gonna wing it!
If we're speaking how I'd like to do that if possible, just put my brain into a robot body. Or just upload my whole mind into a robot.
If we're talking realistically:
When my time comes I will rid myself of the delusion that I was anything other than a piece of the universe experiencing itself.
Maybe something fundamental of me will return. If the Buddhists are right I have a suspicion of what I am learning in this life and what I will need to learn in the next. But otherwise I will simply no longer distinct at further points in time, just as there are prior ones I was not distinct at.
I plan to die like a normal human being.
Have no idea why people want to cling to this life for super long. It really isnt that amazing.
The fun part of quasi-immortality is that you can make your life pretty amazing!
Money isn't really that much of a problem if you don't have the certainty of being old and unable to provide for yourself.

i dont, i let my dead body become fertilzer to the plants
No plan
Hope someone else figures it out before I'm too old to make it worthwhile
You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools, But that's the way I like it baby, I don't wanna live forever
Breathing.
Shrug. The closest that real biology allows. I already have children so at least some sense a part of me will live on for at least the duration of their lives.
Past that I'm with most people on here that immortality sounds horrific. Now I can get behind extended life span especially if medicine and society provide for being actually healthy and able to enjoy it. Just not forever.

I have no plans to live forever as a separate being, but I am hoping to attain nirvana so that I end the ending the suffering involved with death.
And I'm here wanting to end it the moment my organs start failing
Already died once. The second time will be fine.
Completely ignoring my own mortality, followed by crushing deathbed betrayal and disappointment
