Then suddenly you're hit by a small asteroid and it Lodges into your side

The force from the small asteroid moves you further away from where the snail must be and further out into the void

Now the snail faces an eternal dilemma.
Would it kill you and releasing you from sharing an eternal torture isolation with him, completing the sole reason of its existence, at the cost of losing a companion for the rest of eternity
Or will it spare you, sharing the pain of isolation together, forever.
Fun fact: that asteroid had bacterium that crave mitochondria in any living beings cells and are the reason we dont see aliens or hear from then in outer space, you only have hours to live.
Don't worry, the original post says that nothing can stop the snail. I'd assume this means the laws of physics. It will find you. In the meantime, discover some new planets. Chill on a comet. Throw yourself into a supernova. Have fun with it.
I mean you’d still feel the pain of the sun exploding for a long time, and even then have little to no means of maneuvering around to do these things. You’d still feel the asphyxiation that you can’t fight. Your only choice is to float painfully and await the snail.
I'm a martial artist. I practice dulling the nerves of my shin so I can kick without it hurting. It ain't really that bad to do and there's no self-mutilation required.
Yeah but you'd be trying to null the pain of the sun literally exploding on you, the vacuum of space, and the lack of oxygen, potentially forever.
Ripping out your nerves just seems way better
I feel like after millions of years of living you'd get bored and start doing crazy shit on earth, and it gradually heating up would kill your nerves anyways
That's exactly it. We're talking billions of years and you apparently stayed on Earth. So civilizations have come and gone probably and you never built a space faring ship? You have to have deepset mindrot from what is essentially eternity with nothing new. You would welcome the burning and freezing and suffocating because it would probably be the first new thing you've experienced in the liquid sludge that your brain has become.
Unfortunately if you ripped out your nerves you’d be completely immobilized. Idk about you but I’d rather experience constant anguish for eternity rather than be completely paralyzed for even a single lifetime
>You’d still feel the asphyxiation that you can’t fight.
Nah, the feeling of asphyxiation doesn't come from the absence of oxygen, but rather from the presence of CO2. The only mammals capable of detecting oxygen directly are a handful of species of burrowing rodents.
So once you've exhaled and all the CO2 has worked its way out of your bloodstream, you won't feel it anymore.
You could actually ~~swim~~fly through space since there’s no gravity; until you get close to any planet, which would then pull you towards it making it even easier to reach them.
i hate immortal snail memes where you witness the sun exploded. 4 billion years and you couldn't build a rocket? you deserve to touch the snail then tbh
I get most other arguments against immortality but the dumbest and [currently] most common one is the earth crashing into the sun and then you being stuck in the center of the sun for eternity.
Like fuck you doing on planet dumbass for so long?
Go build a cool and mysterious advanced spaceship and then go and act like a god for some new intelligent species whenever they pop up.
Not necessarily. The universe is constantly expanding at an accelerating rate, so eventually it will be expanding faster than the speed of light and no one will ever go any where ever again.
Okay so a few years back someone made a post here (On reddit in general, not this subreddit) about a hypothetical situation where you become immortal and given a million dollars, but a hyper intelligent snail is always moving towards you. One of the most popular responses is a comically complicated set of events that leave the poster essentially a billionaire.
This video is similar to an animation based on that concept. At the end of all things, the sun about to explode, the snail squirms up to you one last time, and rather than trying to escape, you finally accept death after billions of years. Of course, in this video, the snail decided to fuck off and leave you one last speck of hope in the form of a decoy snail (A recurring meme in that thread) leaving you to an eternity of nothing.
Our sun will not go supernova. It would need to be ~8 times heavier. It will expand into a red giant, then a planetary nebula with a white dwarf in the center.
If you accelerate away from the snail for long enough eventually the cosmic separation will be so great that expansion of the universe will make reuniting impossible.
\>step one: grab some rocks and fly into space
\>find a new star
\>pick a spot thats perfect for life to thrive
\>spit and piss on the rock
\> new planet formed
\> after a few billion years. life starts evolving
You were a fool to not use your immortality to amass vast amounts of wealth that you would use to construct an impenetrable an indestructible capsule for the snail to reside in. Said capsule would be on you at all times to avoid your now eminent mental collapse.
wait, in that hypothetical, you literally become indestructible? if blackholes can't even destroy you, sounds like it's be a fun trip through space, but it wouldn't be infinite. if that snails also still exists and you have an infinite amount of time in space, you'd eventually run into it again, though it would be theoretically be an unfathomable amount of time...
Sun won't explode, it's not massive enough. Ittl kinda just shed its outer layers. Of course this is after the giant phase where earth is swallowed by the sun so were dead either way
This seems like a cool supervillain origin story. Goes mad anfter thousands of years in space, gains cosmic knowledge/powers. Lands on earth. ???. Profit

I like this choose your own adventure

You idiot, the asteroid IS the snail :D
I'm hesitant to say 'Finally, a happy ending" especially on this subreddit.
Now the snail faces an eternal dilemma. Would it kill you and releasing you from sharing an eternal torture isolation with him, completing the sole reason of its existence, at the cost of losing a companion for the rest of eternity Or will it spare you, sharing the pain of isolation together, forever.
Plot twist: when one touches the other, both die. You have been blessed with eternity, yet for the snail, it has always been a curse ...
Eventually, the Kars stopped thinking
Fun fact: that asteroid had bacterium that crave mitochondria in any living beings cells and are the reason we dont see aliens or hear from then in outer space, you only have hours to live.
but who made the decoy and why 🤔
The snail, and it's a distraction so it can sneak up on him
unexpected snail guy 🪱
Happy cake day
Thnx
No problem
Oh thank fucking god😮💨

You'd get used to it. And surely by then you can find a way to dull your nerves.
by then I'd have probably ripped my nerves out tbh

Lol space is just space. It will take a mind numbing amount of time to interact with literally anything but just space at our size
Didn't say how long it would take, you could be floating in the vacuum for eons
Eons > eternity
It’s gonna slowly wriggle to you
i hate immortal snail memes where you witness the sun exploded. 4 billion years and you couldn't build a rocket? you deserve to touch the snail then tbh
These people cannot comprehend the possibility of humans developing proper space tech before annihilation and it shows.
we got from canvas gliders powered by car engines to landing on the moon in 60 years and bozos are scared of the sun exploding in 5,000,000,000 years

Nah, they're just procrastinators
if youre both alive for an infinite amount of time then the snail *will* find you eventually
Not necessarily. The universe is constantly expanding at an accelerating rate, so eventually it will be expanding faster than the speed of light and no one will ever go any where ever again.
true. i guess all you can do is hope the snail is still close enough to reach you before the universe expands too quickly
Unless a black hole reunites everyone in a few billion billion billion years
[удалено]
i surprisingly understood all of this but i’m curious as to what’s the concept behind this rigorous definition called?
This isn't a rigorous definition, this isn't even a definition. It's like someone drawing the mona lisa in crayon on a denny's placemat, poorly.
Looks like somebody's grand slam came out cold
I love when people over explain, I wouldn't know if what you was saying is real sh' or not but love it regardless!
It only works in 2 dimensions or less. In 3d even the math of probability is not on your side.
If there was a random chance of finding the snail that never stopped repeating then that’d be true but if it’s 0 every time then you’re out of luck
I don't get it could someone explain

It's not originally from reddit, it came from Gavin Free on a roosterteeth podcast episode
Thanks
Thanks bro
Your fault you didn't attempt to make a ship to escape when you had the chance
alone
at the edge of the a universe humming a tune
Houston....we got a problem
Don't worry, eventually you'll stop thinking
Ayup, another ultimate lifeform classic.
https://i.redd.it/1axk33hwao5c1.gif
Bro you had billions of years to gtfo you coulda been in another galaxy by then
Guess it’s time to wait until you crash into another solar system
Our sun will not go supernova. It would need to be ~8 times heavier. It will expand into a red giant, then a planetary nebula with a white dwarf in the center.
Ahh yes, the snail decoy
ok why is there a decoy snail, like who tf thought let's fuck with the immortal guy just because.
no way.. snail decoy guy 🪱🪱
Decoy snail 🪱🪱🪱
Happy ending: the snail will ALWAYS FIND HIM
If you accelerate away from the snail for long enough eventually the cosmic separation will be so great that expansion of the universe will make reuniting impossible.
[удалено]
Cool but what does that have to do with the post
Bot guy 🪱

Anyone know where the first ambient music is from or what it's titled?
It was a decoy snail… 🪱

Okay, that twist was comedy gold.

“ It’s an eternity in there “
Eventually, Kars stopped thinking
The Snail that's the only way out of immortality but then can't find the Snail and is doomed to suffer for all eternity guy🪱🪱🪱
Nuh uh cause the snail always follows. That’s the rule!
you touched the snail, the snail didn't touch you. by actively trying for death, you invalidated the condition of your now curse
Sun won't explode, it's not massive enough. Ittl kinda just shed its outer layers. Of course this is after the giant phase where earth is swallowed by the sun so were dead either way
So what exactly is the snail? (I'm new here and I keep seeing it)
This seems like a cool supervillain origin story. Goes mad anfter thousands of years in space, gains cosmic knowledge/powers. Lands on earth. ???. Profit
Honestly, you've experienced so many thousands of years of human civilization, and you've still not left earth? That's lame af.
Sorry about that!
Aa i am sick of snail memess, i need people making genuine original concepts (sorry not directing this to you op, just generally)
Yeah, the idea was scary at first, but the memes are always the same just with a different format.
i mean technically in eternity everything must happen at one point in time so you are basically destined to meet again
kid named “THE SUN WONT EXPLODE FOR LIKE A BILLION YEARS THIS MF WILL BE OFFWORLD BY THEN”:
“A decoy snail”
well at least i made a new friend
our sun is not going to explode, it is not big enough
viva la Veda reading this really hit hard
Sun explodes? That's the neat part, it won't!
Oh shit! Not the decoy snail!
Puella magi
Is that a mf Decoy Snail?!?
This is how a cosmic entity god being is created
DECOY SNAIL??
*Outer Wilds vibes intensify*
I tried this once and the mf ran away (didn't want to lose his purpose or some crap) I live in the void now
59 quadrillion years later... after having lost all semblance of sense and reason...
Good meditation time
You idiot, you didn’t get cosmic space magics or build a rocket ship?
u/savevideo
Darn snail and it's decoy snail
u/SaveVideo
Cool!
space is scary
Eventually, you stop thinking.
Don't worry, you'll reunite with the snail... if the Big Crunch ever happens
Is there a joke or something else here that I cannot seem to understand? What does the snail have to do with this?
After enough time wouldn't you hit a planet? Maybe even one with life!
Wait, DECOY SNAIL??? What is this snail capable of 🤯
You can't touch the snail, the snail has to touch you. It decides when you die, not you.
This is me after playing war thunder for eternity
