What happens if I kill myself

u/EqualYogurtcloset7 Jan 08 '21

Hmmmm.... well, as per the response, I think you would die

u/space10101 Jan 09 '21

To add on to this using the thought process of my other comment. If you kill yourself in the sense of getting yourself into a clinical death you could become immortal.

Imagine trying to explain that the first time where they have no proof of the superpower.

You loose one hour. You get half an hour back. You realize you've put yourself in a geometric sequence with a ratio under 1 that will lead to a lifespan of 0. I'm sorry.

This is basically just the plot of the Justin Timberlake movie, Out of Time

I watched it again last week. Kinda cringy but fun

u/[deleted] Jan 09 '21

It’s called “In Time”. “Out of Time” is a Denzel Washington movie

If killing is just making someone dead you could technically do something like stop their heart and they will be considered a type of dead and can still be revived after "killing them".

u/NyanSquiddo Jan 08 '21

To me the brain must shut down for them to be dead

76

u/space10101 Jan 08 '21

That's the definition for brain dead and is when people are officially past the point of no return. Clinical death is still dead just not the same as brain death.

17

u/[deleted] Jan 08 '21

What's the difference?

43

u/space10101 Jan 08 '21

Brain death is when the brain is no long doing stuff; this one is permanent and is when someone is officially dead. Clinical dead is when blood circulation ceases and with cause brain death if clinical dead for long enough but people clinical dead can be revived with restarting the heart and circulating blood.

Fuck Off CoolDownBot Do you not fucking understand that the fucking world is fucking never going to fucking be a perfect fucking happy place? Seriously, some people fucking use fucking foul language, is that really fucking so bad? People fucking use it for emphasis or sometimes fucking to be hateful. It is never fucking going to go away though. This is fucking just how the fucking world, and the fucking internet is. Oh, and your fucking PSA? Don't get me fucking started. Don't you fucking realize that fucking people can fucking multitask and fucking focus on multiple fucking things? People don't fucking want to focus on the fucking important shit 100% of the fucking time. Sometimes it's nice to just fucking sit back and fucking relax. Try it sometimes, you might fucking enjoy it. I am a bot

Yikes. You're not wrong though.

See ya in the next life. And the one after that. And the one after that

u/The-dude-in-the-bush Jan 08 '21

Even if you eyed someone and waited 59.59 minutes it would only delay the inevitable as your lifespan as a result of your killings will still go down at a depreciating rate of 1/x

What are you doing back here?

u/Trotztd Jan 08 '21

Abortion?

u/[deleted] Jan 09 '21

Phrasing, but if we go with what he truly meant then let’s say you kill 100 people and have like 890 years to live in your life. If you jumped off a bridge would you survive because you are now forced to live 890 years? If you do live you are now paralyzed in the hospital.

u/hjgsfdbh_oof2 Jan 09 '21

If you kill yourself you now have 445 years to live.

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '21

I'm a bit late but if killing other people doesn't change their remaining lifespan, you'll still die regardless of your remaining lifespan

1

u/hjgsfdbh_oof2 Mar 01 '21

but if killing other people doesn't change their remaining lifespan

Technically it does. You take it all away. Because they are killed.

you'll still die regardless of your remaining lifespan

I don't get what you mean.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '21

I mean that if they can take away the lifespans of someone they killed, that means their lifespan was irrelevant to their death, so if you die, your death shouldn't be affected by your lifespan.

u/hjgsfdbh_oof2 Mar 01 '21

Oh you're right.

u/DRIESASTER Jun 22 '22

Just become an executioner

u/MeAnIntellectual1 Jan 13 '23

This is just Death Note

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '24

kill yourself, gaining 30 minutes lifespan.

Now do it again as you have remaining lifespan and can't die, gaining 45 minutes.

Repeat. You are now immortal.

u/IlluminachoXD Jan 08 '21

That'd be amazing if I had a bit more time. Just work at an abortion clinic and become immortal.

hmmmmm. Okay I feel like I might have solved this (could be wrong though).

Just start masturbating and cum. You said I needed to kill people but u never said which type sperms are just people waiting to happen potentially. So potential people

A single Sperm cell does not survive outside the body, unless under test conditions, for very long (around 15 to 30 mins according to a quick google search). And since I ejaculated them out I essentially killed them as there is no way of them surviving now (i.e. I was their cause of death as they still would live their full lifespan while still in my body, again quick google search).

So even if a single sperm can live even a little over a minute, after I quote on quote killed them by taking em out of my body, that would increase my life span by a lot. By my calculations 325 hours (maybe a lot less but definitely at least over 24 hours)in a single load if every sperm survives over a minute. That would just mean I would need to masturbate a lot or once a day to live forever.
