I'll start off with one, Being upset about a breakup that happened hundreds of years ago.

Edit 1:

  • Heath death of the universe, Death of the sun, etc, does not count. I feel like focusing on this is an overused point.

Edit 2:

  • Loneliness does not count. I feel like we all know immortality means you'll miss people and lose them.

If we're talking magical immortality, as in you can't die, at all. Then the fact that however much enjoyment and experiences you get while the universe still exist, it will be followed by an infinite stretch of nothing after the heat death of the universe.

Then again, you have billions of years to come up with a solution to this problem.

Then there are options:

  • You find a solution. Great!
  • You do not find a solution, but spend whatever time is left in the universe working on it, and then spend infinite time in darkness. Not great.

Kind of a gamble :D

I think the estimates are much, much longer until that happens.
