What are the minimum things you need to be willing to live for eternity? (lemm.ee)

You would be immortal and all basic amenities essential for physical survival would be provided. You can have the age of your body according to your choosing and your mind won't blow off by accomodating endless amount of memory.

You can choose anything you desire and that too at any instant which may or may not exist in real life, like an endless supply of something or a companion with the same immortality powers as yours, but you won't be able to change it in the future and there would be no going back. Also you cannot alter your mind in any way that would enable to let you tolerate living for eternity or not get bored of things.

Ideally you would want to have everything just to be sure but by asking you the minimum requirements, it would making it more interesting to know what you think you could do without or what matters to you the most.

I think that facet is more about the scale of eternity and the human mind's inability to grasp the enormity of it.

I don't want to spoil the twist for those who haven't seen it, but they do show that you're able to have your heart's desire at any time. Plus, it's a TV show, so you have to make some concessions for budgetary reasons (everyone can't be a giant CGI turtle, for example lol).

I’m sorry, you made some great points, but all I can take away from that is that your idea of heaven is becoming a Ninja Turtle…? 🤣

....and? 😆

Edit: That wasn't what I was going for with that example, but now that you mention it, maybe subconsciously I was. That sounds pretty cowabunga.

Touché.
