I'd like to say I could go a lifetime, but I could almost guarantee I'd kill myself within the first 2 months by trying something stupid like trying to learn to hang glide alone or trying to drive a ferrari upside down in a tunnel. I'd have a lot more fun and my life expectancy would probably go up a lot if I had a friend or spouse with me.

Use a formula 1 car, they actually generate enough downforce to drive upside down.

i think i'd be pretty happy for a long time.
get to do whatever i want, no work, don't have to worry about money. just go and do whatever the fvck i want. i'm sure it would get really lonely after awhile, but just imagine all the stuff you could do?

you'd have to be careful you don't hurt yourself too bad though.

I'd go to a mod's house and log onto his account. After some postcount and title adjustments, I'd end myself a happy man.

Groceries would be a problem. There's nobody to milk the cows and raise the crops. Do you really want to be eating out of cans for the rest of your life? I think it'd be a long time before I killed myself, but I really don't know how long.

I thought about this many times, actually. I'd have a hell of a lot of fun. Are there cars out on the road? Does the electricity still work? I'd treat busy sections of cities as race circuits. I might drive around the nation for a long time. How long do I get to live; will I die from old age? I might consider reading and learning a whole bunch of stuff... like mastering every instrument in an entire orchestra. I might eventually get enough knowledge to clone a female copy of myself (since there's no other human DNA available to work with). It's gross, but it'd be the only way to continue the species.

That's sad. Really, really sad.

I doubt mods keep their account auto-logged in.

I'd probably work on cloning myself or visit a fertility clinic and see if I could grow some test tube babies. Wait, do frozen fetuses count as people and will disappear too? What about frozen sperm and eggs? I think that's another debate entirely...

Everything would be hunky dory until all the nuclear power plants in the world had a simultaneous meltdown because there was noone there to maintain them.

Oh and I give myself half a year before I lose my marbles.

Yup. Its just outside of San Diego.
But you better learn how to make your own.
As soon as one gets finished its out the door immediatly. They dont have any finished models just sitting around.
Meh, scavenge the post office, then..
They dont send those big wooden crates through the post office. They are a special delivery from a small shipping company.

...and you know this...how?? :p

I'd die pretty quickly, but it'd be an accident involving an F-22 or something like that, not suicide.

It'd take I while. I wouldn't complain about having all these twisty roads to myself to ride my motorcycle on. :laugh:
