Oh! and i would jaywalk.

Wouldn't do that if I were you. Invincible or not, where I live, they just jacked the charge for Jaywalking up to $500.

I saw the funniest jaywalking only a few months ago. A crowd had gathered at my side, waiting for the green man, but one brave man walked and stopped at the halfway island to wait for that lane to clear up. Just then, an entire convoy of cops escorting an ambulance, in cars and bikes, passed through that lane. The last bike stopped by the man, gave him a stern talking to, and he walked back to our little crowd, chastened. Talk about cruel coincidence.

a cruel coincidence would be if the cops hit him.

I would carry out the ultimate suicide without, and here's the best part, dieing.

The ultimate suicide involves jumping off a skyscraper with dynamite strapped to your boots and setting it off just as you're about to hit the ground. The world's greatest trampoline.

Get a job in Circe-du-Soliel as an acrobat whose comedy in the routine is faceplanting from four stories above.

I just hope it isn't like that one movie (EDIT: I remembered! Movie is "Death Becomes Her") where even though you are invincible, repeated damage to your body will cause very bad results...

so if I'm invincible, I'd be hesitent in giving hugs to people...(while on fire).

I would begin a drug doping, chain smoking, hard drinking, off the brinking, horror show, suck and blow, greaseball diet, wi-fi-it, superhero, choke-on-a-cheerio, marathon, smoke-a-bong lifestyle.

...assuming my invincible body could metabolize any of the vices

I'd definetely say if I was invincible that I'd get in a spaceship, go into space and then jump out and come back in through the atmosphere. Think about the crater you'd leave......"sigh"
Either that or go swimming in a volcano

These people stole both my ideas, so I'd combine them - and to them all at the same time :) Be off my face, flying into Earth's atmosphere...

Being invincible is not the same as being invulnerable. If you're invincible you cannot be defeated, but that doesn't mean you can't be hurt. So a lot of the people in this thread would still be dead from their ideas.

invincible |inˈvinsəbəl|
adjective
too powerful to be defeated or overcome : an invincible warrior

invulnerable |inˈvəlnərəbəl|
adjective
impossible to harm or damage.

See?

If I was invincible I'd tear up the MMA circuit.

First I would get all the tallest buildings in the world and stack them atop each other beside the grand canyon and then jump off. After that I would steal all the worlds nuclear weapons (and the plans to make them) and then hold the world hostage for one copy of every video game(with cheats) and console, one copy of every manga ever written, translation software for every language in the world and a penny. Solve global warming, become immortal, go to space in general, eat a mountain, sled down mount everest, build a time machine, use it to beat up Douglas Adams for writing such a crappy ending to Mostly Harmless, go to the future and steal some MJOLINIR armor, do everything else on this forum.

I'd probably do nothing, since I'd eventually die anyway, and if you are a Christian like me, you wouldn't want to be doing a bunch of explaining to the big cheese of all big cheeses about what you did and why you did it. If I did anything, I'd probably join a bunch of firefighters. I am assuming, of course, that I'm only invincible. Just because you can't die doesn't mean you are inexplicably strong. That reminds that somebody at the beginning mentioned swimming to the bottom of the ocean. Again, assuming that you are only invincible and not super strong as well, have fun being under so much pressure that you cannot physically move.

Hmmm...

Would it be evil of me to use my immortality/invincibility to sit underwater at a beach, watching for stupid people, then pulling them underwater and sticking their foot in a bear trap to watch them drown and/or get eaten by sharks?

Or stand in a jungle river picking piranhas off my legs and throwing them at any people/critters that wander my way...

Or find the secret to my invincibility and inject it into two babies, tie leather straps around them, and walk around using the babies as shoes?

Or messing around inside a wind tunnel while wearing rollerblades?

And of course there's always the fun that could be had playing "Chicken" with anything that moves, knowing I'll come out no worse for wear... Especially with fighter jets and city buses.

Or what about using powerlines as my own personal jungle gym? Could even try to teach squirrels and birds that touching two different lines is "safe"...

And of course, let's not forget how fun it would be to douse myself in gasoline, light a match, and run around a school playground at recess. Wuahaauwuaha IT BURNS IT BURNS! Run kid, run, it's contagious... Don't wanna catch a bad case of FIRE.

You, my friend, are a legend.

I think I'd become some kind of professional assassin, not the generic kind that sits on a rooftop and waits for the target to come to them but just walk right in the front door and annihilate anyone that tried to stop me. That or just take over the world, world domination would be cool.

I'd jump off extremely high points just to make people think I'm dead when I hit the ground. People will scatter around me crying for about five minutes until I get up saying, "'Tis no matter" and walk around unscathed.

I'd work on High tension wires in Jeans and a T-shirt electrocuting myself with a whole lot of AC current, but not dieing from it.

Well, since invincibility doesn't mean super-strength, it would only be slightly more challenging for me to be put in jail than I would be as the normal, vincible me... If I went around robbing banks, sure, I'd live through a rain of bullets without a scratch, but if 4 officers could tackle and drag me into a cell, it wouldn't matter how invincible I am, I can't get out of metal bars... And if I did, it'd only take another tackle to bring me back and into a more secure holding cell.

Invincibility would mean that I couldn't be harmed, no scratch, prick, or point-blank hydrogen bomb explosion could affect me, and since my body couldn't be degraded in any way, there'd be no pain for my body to detect. On a side-note, being able to regenerate lost limbs is not invincibility, it's just super-human regeneration... You are vincible, but only temporarily, so I'd assume, in that situation, you could feel pain, and that would suck.

Also, if invincibility means no physical degradation, I could easily assume that'd mean I couldn't age, and thus invincibility would also mean both immortality and eternal youth.

Now, if I could convince people to be my followers, that my invincibility meant I was a god, THEN I may be able to test the waters a bit more, but otherwise, being eternally locked in a cage for robbery doesn't sound like my cup of tea... So I'd live my invincible, immortal, eternal youth pretty much as I do now.

This isn't to mention what scientists would want to do with me, I'd imagine that I could be studied against my will 'For the good of the American people'... People would complain on message boards, there'd be bumper stickers, maybe a few real activists, but nobody'd really do anything... Ur, sorry, that was a bit of a tangent. In short, invincibility might suck more than normal vincibility as things are now.

~~~

Edit #1: After reading one post made before this one, I'll say this - We don't care about the semantics of what word we are using, when we say 'invincible', we mean the inability to be physically harmed. It's like when people imagine an anti-gravity device... Sure, in literal terms, it means a device that negates all gravitation in a said area, but the general public only cares that it does one thing - It makes you float as if there was no gravity... After that, we don't care if it isn't technically an anti-gravity device, because it does what people think anti-gravity to be. Just as we don't care if 'invincibility' doesn't technically mean what we are imagining, because it describes the situation well enough for us to capture the situation.

~~~

Edit #2: I realise that it may sound hypocritical for me to say we don't care about the semantics when I clearly point out that if we are incapable of being physically harmed, we are also painless, immortal, and eternally youthful... But I believe I'm somewhat different in my semantics - They are telling us that we are using the wrong terms to properly describe the state we are discussing (the state of invulnerability) while I'm saying that if the state we are discussing were to be true, then, by proxy, other states would have to be in effect (If we are incapable of taking any physical damage, then that means we can't physically degrade from any of the natural elements that cause degradation, be it time, environment, etc. and if we can't phsycially degrade, then we'd never age [aging is the gradual process of degradation over time] and we'd never feel pain [since nothing can damage you, there will be no pain to be felt]). One tells us we are wrong for using an improper term, the other builds on the intended meaning, suggesting the possibilities it provides if it were to be true.
