Furrys not allowed /joke
I’m in, though I’m curious what “turns you into a reptile” means. Does it just mean I become cold blooded. I’m fine with that, it just means I’m moving somewhere tropical. Do I grow scales and a tail? Certainly not ideal, but I could probably live with it, especially if the tail is prehensile and if I get claws in the mix. Do I get a really long, controllable tongue? Can’t think of any uses for that. Nope, none at all…
Attraction, sex and reproduction would be interesting questions as well. Do I still find human women attractive, or is my brain rewired to want a lusty argonian maid? What does my new plumbing look like? Are there others of my new species around for me to do the monster mash with?
But overall, yes I’d probably go for it. I don’t delude myself into thinking that I will somehow continue to exist after death; so, not dying seems like the better alternative. Sure, if the downsides are really bad, I can accept that death is a better outcome (e.g. you live forever, but have locked-in syndrome forever). But, living as a lizard person doesn’t seem too horrible.
Username checks out.
3 people are blessed with ignorance
Nope, I’ve been fighting my own mind for over 4 decades and possibly have another 4ish to look forward to. Lizard or not, tacking another 919 years onto my life sounds like torture.
What if you were wealthy?
Plenty of celebrities and highly paid athletes commit suicide, wealth cannot cure depression. Same answer.
Maybe being a lizard is the change in lifestyle you need
We can hear your claws clickety-clacking those keys, “citizen”. 😶
Listen to this person, dey know.
Is it traveling at Warp 10? What happens at Warp 10, stays at Warp 10.
I wouldn’t want to be one of those reptiles that shoots blood from its eyes.
Other than that… I’m interested.
What? That sounds awesome. Imagine how easily you could get out of awkward social situations with that ability.
I’d rather be one of those lizards that flares its rills. Like a living warning flag.
When you say “turns you into a reptile”, do you mean like a lizard-person, or an iguana?
Or like Peter Theil?
I already said lizard-person.
I somehow imagine normal lizard-persons as less horrible than Peter Theil. Less sweaty for starters.
Which ever you prefer.
As long as I don’t turn into some tiny prey lizard, sure. I wanna still be able to play video games.
Captain Janeway: “Oh hell yes!!!”
Imagine the mortgage you could get though
Well, even as a furry, I’d say haell no! Reptiles ain’t something I’m a fan of. Besides, I’d rather die after however long I live rather than completely turn into a reptile for the next millennium.
What does it do to furries?
Sure.
My mom always said I’m like a turtle since I love to hide from problems. So I’ll just hide in the shell wheneven I’m scared.
“Mom, you can’t hit me lmfao, I’m just gonna hide in the shell forever.”
No. Being a reptile might be cool, but I’m now 40 and already think that being at the half-way point is fine with me.
I’ll go with yes even before looking up the cons of being cold blooded. So… does it suck to be cold blooded for 1000 years?
You cannot sweat, need to eat only once a week and you can be happy just sitting under the sun/heat lamp for a few hours every day.
But you just can’t live outside where it is too cold even if you wear thick winter clothing, unless someone makes externally heated clothes for you.
You just described my wife.
I think your wife might be secretly one. Does she lay eggs too?
I saw my children come out live, but maybe she’s just like the platypus of reptiles or something.
There are some reptile species that do live birth.
Do you get to slow down your metabolism at will? Does your metabolism just naturally slow to allow you to live so long?
If it means I get to hibernate through winter then the answer is yes.
