That’s not really less likely to happen if I choose 25 years old than if I choose 10107 years old, right? the genie said “forever”, which I assumed meant immortality. And there was nothing in OP’s post that made it sound optional to become immortal.
Gotcha, I misread your comment. I guess if immortality is not optional, I can see the appeal of at least seeing what happens to human who makes it to that unfathomable age
Monkey’s paw curls. Wish granted: you will live for 10 to the power of 107 years, you’ll outlive every living and non living being, you’ll transcend mortal understanding, you’ll play with the flow of entropy - to see birth and death, hot and cold, to feel the final, guttering pulse of the last black hole as it surrenders its hoarded information to the void.
And you’ll have a little popcorn kernel stuck between your gum and a tooth during this entire time.
The heat death of the universe is expected in at most, say, 10106 years.
So, 10107 years. I’ll be an ancient, godlike entity far beyond the understanding of any living thing. Like an aboleth.
Gonna suck when you get sucked into a black hole here in a few trillion years tho
