If I could fly, I could make far more than a billion dollars making other people believe that I could teach them to fly too. :911:

edit: I wouldn't want the ability to fly unless I could do it without anyone else possibly knowing. Once discovered, I would lose my identity and become known as either the person that let others fly, or the rear end in a top hat that let them down. I don't think I could survive knowing that I had a bunch of Make a Wish foundation requests that I couldn't possibly fulfill in time.

Make a wish foundation? Really? Your imagination of what being useful to society constitutes is limited to fulfilling the wishes of privileged kids?

What is this garbage. The real problem with immortality is being stuck on the husk of earth after the sun has gone supernova.

imo that falls under "when the world ends"

I'll accept that. But it's the only real issue, worrying about people scolding you for not dying at the right time is silly.

And if not I would almost certainly become a medical test for cia/nsa whatever.

I think it's this, you'd be strapped to a table in some secret lab inside a day.

Scolding? Wut? I'mguessing you either mean the lack of personal relationships or the governments trying to catch you, but neither are about people getting mad at you.

You won't keep personal relationships because everyone you care about will either rot away in what is essentially a very short time for you or they'll increase your likelihood of being found out, which leads to the governments trying to catch you thing.

If you get caught you have no other super powers. You don't have super strength and no one even said you can't feel pain, so have fun loving up once, being caught, and dismantled piece by piece in a government lab while being conscious for the entire process.

And it's not just governments, imagine if some really unsavory dudes found out and captured you, and tried to force you to do something awful with your power of invulnerability. If you say no then they over power you, tie you up, throw you in a hole, and pour concrete over it.

Have fun for however long that poo poo will take to fall apart, being awake the whole time.

I’d like to stipulate that the immortality comes as a form of super-luck; so in addition to not aging or becoming ill you also avoid stepping in front of a bus or like, the guys coming to kidnap you away to a supervillain lab crash their helicopter and die/forget all about you. When you’re on the titanic you trip and stumble Mr. Bean style implausibly into a rowboat and float effortlessly away to be picked up by a cruise ship full of bikini ladies.

Also the heat death if the universe turns out to be like, awesome and super fun and you just start all over in a newly formed galaxy with all your memories only you’re purple now

I would take the money and invest it wisely to become even richer and use every loophole in the books to avoid paying too much in taxes.

With the power of flight, you could be a kickass magician or a really convincing cult leader, so, really, you'd make more than a billion quick enough.

anyone who just thinks about the ways they can use flight to make money doesn't deserve the flight imo

No actually I think you're mistaken. I'm not saying get rich or anything, but you still need money. If your job isn't flying then you officially have to spend 8 hours a day not flying, which is a massive waste. I'd rather fly.

Can part of the power be that my face won't flap around and look really stupid while I'm flying
