Question of the Day - Monday, November 8, 2021

[MoochNNoodles]

It is a gorgeous fall day here! We had several freezing nights last week and through the weekend. Today? I've got a window cracked, killed a mosquito inside the house, and spotted a bumblebee outside on the flowers I still haven't pulled in. (And this is why!) If I can get my kids through their school work quickly we might squeeze in a walk before dark. (Grrr time change!)



If you could be immortal, what age would you choose to stop aging at and why?




I think I'd stop at about 33/35. You are young; but adult enough to be taken seriously pretty much anywhere. I think my 20 year old body would be preferable; but having that work and life experience behind you helps so much. So I wouldn't go below 30. Having people try to take advantage of your "youth" would get old.

 

[Graceful-Lily]

Hmm... I want to say 25 because I heard that's when your brain fully develops. I'm only 22 right now so I'd want to reach that milestone and then stop aging. If that age isn't 25 then whatever age the brain fully develops is when I want to become immortal.

 

[Kat0121]

I'd say 30. Not too old, not too young.

I could possibly do 25. I didn’t really feel like an adult around other adults at 25 even though DH and I had been married for several years. Didn’t really feel like an adult until I was in my 30s and had done things like buying a house and having a child. I’d been through a layoff too. I think the experiences are what made the difference for me.

Late thirties would be a good place to stop. Still strong and healthy, career established, child grown.

 

[Lari]

36 was a good year overall. But yeah, early-mid 30s, but not my weight because those were the years I depress gained way too much.

 

[MonaLyssa33]

Based on how I felt at the time, I'd say 32. I'm 35 now and have been having some physical issues that are annoying.

 

[neely]

Probably mid-30's because I was still an active runner at 6 - 7 miles a day. I loved running but started having some injuries after 40.

 

[denice]

I'll say late 30's maybe 40.

 

[game misconduct]

no immortality for me it would be bad overall if i was immortal with eternal life there would be full scale slaughter as i took over control of the world

 

[cassiopea]

Probably around 26 - Young enough to be considered youthful but old enough to be taken seriously.

That or around 32, with still the same premise as above but likely more secure in a career or growing into it. Plus still being able to physically be able to do stuff overall too! (I'm pretty active) while being more mature. And I'm not going to have children no matter what so that won't be a factor.

 

[Norachan]

Can I have the knees I had at 18, the skin I had at 20 and the brain I have now?

God forbid you got a hold of Thanos's Infinity Gauntlet as well---there goes half the universe!!!

 

[Whenallhellbreakslose]

I say very early 30's. My 30's was a much better decade for me. I would love to be in my early 30's again--it was fun!

 

[Maria Bayote]

18, at an age when we start to become adults but still a child at heart; at an age when we usually meet our first love and learn to keep him/her this time and never let go; at an age when responsibilities are still not that many and problems do not yet keep us awake at nights; at an age when we can look at the mirror and still not see a frail and weary stranger looking back at us.

 

[Mia6]

27 for me and living where I did at that age, South Florida

 

[Winchester]

Can I have the knees I had at 18, the skin I had at 20 and the brain I have now?

What she said. That works.

 

[DownTheLane]

I think I still have to reach that age. As of now, probably 16, since my body looked the best back then. But I think 25-28 is a good gap to stay in.

 

[muffy]

I would say 23. That was my best year and I had better knees.

 

[strider rose]

late 20's - early 30's
