From now until then you're invincible.

I've been saving an old toaster to try in the tub just for an occasion like this!

You could make so much money playing Russian roulette!

Now I'm starting to wonder if being in a coma for twenty years from a toaster/gun shot would still qualify as alive.

Dammit

The 1950s sci-fi pulp author Fredric Brown wrote one of his (then) famous short-short stories about a man who came up with the serum for immortality and took it, but he had a cold at the time, and the germs also developed immortality and reproduced so much that his symptoms got worse and worse and eventually put him into a coma. After a while, his colleagues realized he'd never get out of the coma, so they just buried him.

And this is why we have GFCIs, folks

Because there's immortals walking among us?

No, mine had a different date. Must just be a bug.

What is this "wrapped" thing everybody but me knows about?

Spotify gives you an overview of your listening activity every year with different stats, like top artists, top songs, which city your listening tastes match, etc.

November 4, 2097...I'm gonna have a long life, it seems!

Awww man, I don't wanna do this shit for another 20 years just to die.

Can we make it sooner?

Hah, now there is nothing candlejack ca

Mine says "December 5th 2023"

Imagine knowing that you'll live this long from now. Would be great

20 years ain't as long as you think it is. Especially if you're not even 30

If someone could guarantee me that I would die 20 years from now I think I would take it. I would rather a guaranteed 20 years than a potential 40.

It would be great not having to worry about death for that long. I could get hit by a bus tomorrow.

This could be some real monkeys paw material, though. In your carefree lack of concern, a bus actually hits you tomorrow and puts you into a coma until your predicted date.

I sure hope I live past 66...

YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHEN I'M GOING TO D............
