If you die and turn into a ghost, what will you do?

[Braznor]

Lets assume ghosts and spirits really exist just for the sake of fun. Lets say you die and your spirit lingers around in the form of a ghost. Again for the sake of fun, lets assume your ghost somehow possess the power to do stuff like telekinesis and whatever the shit, except the powers to communicate directly with living people and the power to be prescient.

These are the only two restrictions for the awesome ghost you have just become in this scenario here i.e. you don't have the power to communicate directly with living people and you don't have the power of foretell events that will take place in the future.

So with these assumptions in place, what will you do in this world? More importantly what will you do with the people on AT?

 

[MongGrel]

Turn into Naer and haunt the forums in meaningless ways.

 

[tynopik]

i'd kill myself

 

[Kaido]

Probably just lurk here.

And do epic Netflix binge marathons because I wouldn't need sleep :awe:

 

[Humpy]

I'd go to the super bowl and totally mess up the game.

Probably mess with porno shoots too. Maybe try to start a war.

 

[Wingznut]

I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two chicks at the same time, man.

 

[Naer]

Okay.

I would probably post on atot in a public place on a tablet

 

[DesiPower]

Can I travel in space?

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Hang out in college girls dorm showers. What else?

 

[rh71]

go see what people do in their private time.

 

[Naer]

Do you really want to watch people fap?

How did it take 9 posts to get here?

Wow, this place really is slipping.

So no sleep? 24/7 of wondering the earth?.....I'd probably be fetal positioned in a corner somewhere all depressed and crying, thinking how eternal existence is really eternal. Fuck that. I can see the fun in it for a while but damn would it get boring after so many years of doing the same types of things over n over, never to enjoy the cool things the living do.

 

[Jeeebus]

Find a hot ghost lady and give her my ghostly seed.

 

[HeXen]

Why would a ghost have a penis? Gonna stick it in some ecto plasm? Nothing about ethereal existence makes any sense to me.

I dunno. I could keep myself occupied for a lifetime just exploring Maryland, especially if I could go anywhere I wanted. Extrapolate that to the whole world... It wouldn't be an eternity, but I wouldn't have to deal with it for centuries. Hell, by the time I see the world in the detail I want, I can start over, and do it all again since everything would have changed. Things would get boring once the sun burns out(assuming I can't leave the planet)

Maybe find some relevant skeptics or scientists and see if I can convince them to study ghosts. There's a lot that needs to be known about the physics and basic properties of ghosts.

- Affected by gravity or powerful magnetic fields?
- Electromagnetic emission properties.
- Does clothing and jewelry always go along with a ghost? (You see alleged photos of fully-clothed ghosts.)
- Longevity?
- Able to reproduce?
- Affected by microbe ghosts?

 

[Ichinisan]

I'd make a bunch of people start dancing samba / calypso for no reason.

this.

can you?

i'd travel to jupiter to see what all the fuss is about.

 

[Schmide]

Lurk more: Random Boos

 

[rh71]

Well I guess nobody is going over to your place now.

 

[Matthiasa]

telekinesis which is mind control of objects.
What is stopping someone from basically just creating a "suit of armor" with a say text or sign language to speech type program built in to communicate since your not actually directly communicating by doing that.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Probably mess with people for fun and giggles, probably mostly government. Just drive them to insanity. For example, just hang out in the NSA data centre electrical room and keep turning off random breakers. Maybe even swap wires around. :twisted:

Being a ghost would actually be fun, you could get away with stuff that would send you to maximum security ass rape prison if you were alive. What a time to be alive dead!

Yeah, having telekinesis really cancels out the whole "no direct communication" thing.
Rearrange objects into prime-numbered groups, or letters, thump out Morse code, or....maybe just use a simple keyboard.



Alternately, maybe you'll suffer the equivalent of serious brain damage while turning into a ghost, or have an IQ of 3.
You'll be stuck in an eternal prison of your own damaged mind.

I'd be Bummed.
I mean, your still you except without the hardware.
No flesh, teeth, legs, mouth, appetite, and no sex drive.
No, not even viagra is going to help out in this situation.
And whenever you try to communicate, people scream GHOST! and run away.
Or freak out. Or no one else believes when they say they seen a ghost.
That being seeing YOU, the ghost.
So you roam the earth, bummed, with your ghostly head lowered, hands in your ghost pockets, kicking around ghost cans.

You try to communicate with your spouse, but they just scream in horror.
Your kids, freak out and can't get back to sleep. And you feel bad about that.
The dog pissed on the carpet.
The cat screeches, jumps, then runs the other way.

And you hang around watching your loving spouse making it with new people.
Your kids wasting all your money on video games and pot.
You watch your boss telling all the office staff they are probably better off without you.
You never get to collect your social security. Now THAT's the real pisser.
And you just watch as your spouse just gives away all the cool things you owned that were so near and dear to you.

Yeah, I think you the ghost would be too bummed to show up in spirit, let alone to haunt.
