This is the snail immortality thought experiment. You are immortal until a certain immortal indestructible snail touches you. You can never be rid of the snail, and it will never stop pursuing you.

I just make sure I only ever sleep in well-sealed places. An immortal cockroach would be way scarier. Immortal house centipede. Etc.

With Nancy Reagan in the middle

Kind of weird to single out Nancy but alright

The positive part of this is that there is no sneaking up on you. Just make sure you always live behind a revolving door.

How does the snail account for space travel? Does it have a little snail rocket? And if so, is it normal speed, or extremely slow for comedic effect?

[–] SpikesOtherDog@ani.social 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

If anything is possible, and the snail is somehow motivated to find you, then it could hitchhike on another rocket. The goal isn't to be there quickly, only to be an eventuality.

Wait, you wouldn't actually go anywhere without one, would you?
