Extending your life.

[Ally]

I'm not sure this is going to work out for MCM but here goes anyway.

Consider that there's a new special drink on the market. That drink allows you to return (physically; no time travel) to the age you first drunk it at. However, it comes at the side effect that every time after the first time you drink it, you age 2x faster for every time you drink it.

This means you get your original lifetime length (e.g. 70 years), plus half of that should you choose to drink it again (e.g 35), then half of that and so on. Mathemagically that works out to 2 whole lifetimes. (Realistically less than, just under).

Would you take the drink? Why/why not?
And if instead of 2x faster, you'd accelerate 1.2x faster (giving you a total of 6 lifetimes), would you take it then?

I would drink it, at least you get to live older. :tup:

An interesting concept, although I would choose not to as one lifetime is enough for me, having more than one lifetime would decrease the value and appreciation of life overall. You can only live for so long where you get to a point where you have nothing new to experience and no joy doing.

I'll hook an IV of the stuff up to me. Taking it out for a couple seconds and turning into an old man will be my new party trick

Would have to agree with this. ^

Considering my has been so short until now I can go back a couple years, then just drink like a wasteman and die faster. Thanks Ally
