Your vision slowly fades to black and you feel like you're spinning, when you suddenly feel cold and hear the galloping of horses and wheels on the dirt. "Hey, you, you're finally awake!"
@@incription Well I personally think that its a really good new concept.I mean you just oversimplified the shit out of it,which is something people do a lot with a show or movie to make it seem bad when their is so much more,and its a shallow way to look at it.I think this has an insane amount of potential tbh.
I like to think that the snail, too, will die as it touches you, and because it has been alive hundreds of thousands of years before you, it's fixed on looking for you as its sole mission that will finally grant it release
Imagine touching it and realizing it doesnt kill either of you.. After you have lived through multiple universes being destroyed and recreated you both finally exept fate only to realize it was a sick joke. The lives you lost the family whose faces you cant remember the name you cant even imagine all for nothing all the time and effort only to realize you are trapped with no death possible and then you break down in tears... trying to punch the air only to flip over in the infinite depths that is your slowly decaying universal loop and sit there crying begging for it to end but to no avail. I made up a villain with that as his backstory in a phycological thriller The nobody king is what i call him a man without meaning with out a name with out identity...the most terrifying of fates
@@martezdavis2725 the original of the question about the snail cites "If both you and a super-intelligent snail were given 1,000,000$ and immortality, but you would die if the snail touched you, would you do it?"
Okay, imagine a sci-fi dark comedy with genuine hints of cosmos horror as the charming, witty and talkative protagonist who can't die keeps outwitting the ever evolving snail and getting into shenanigans with his immortality but then he keeps outliving everyone and everything. Hundreds of thousands of years pass. The earth is but a shell of it's former self. There is no plant life. No water. Nothing but an cold frozen landscape. The protagonist wants to die but can't. He just can't. He's starting to fear that a meteor shower that broke the earth apart flung the snail into space. The protagonist is breaking down. He can't deal with the loneliness. He can't deal with the purposelessness of his life. An arrogant decision to become rich led him to the end of everything he wanted. He had it all, now he has nothing and no one. We watch a montage of body horror and suicide, a la groundhogs day. We watch as for 2, 40 min episodes, the protagonist is truly and fully silent. The earth is unrecognizable to him, the stars are dying out. In a last ditch effort, the protagonist starts to get his hopes up in finding another civilization beyond the stars, over billions of years he learns how to build a suitable enough rocket ship. And he flies out. Only for it to malfunction. He ejects from it. And is now endlessly floating in the sea of ever expanding nothingness. He falls into a deep slumber. Intro sequence for final episode, smash cut to flames engulfing him as he starts to crash land on another planet. Skin and an arm missing, the protagonist realizes he fell into a planet where the gravity is so dense he literally cannot move not stand up. Over thousands of years, his body adapts to the pressure but barely, he can only crawl. The weather is a constant rain of crystals embedding themselves into him. He crawls for cover. Upon reaching a cave a few hundred years later, he crawls into it only to see before him, the snail. Unable to move as well. The planet is collapsing in on itself becoming a wormhole. The protagonist tries to crawl to the snail to touch it. To end his miserable fucking existence. Then he looks at it, shell broken, body weathered and flattened unto the earth by the sheer weight of gravity. The protagonist is an inch from his broken and deformed finger touching the snail. But he decides not to. To not confine this snail to the same fate as he was. Alone. Truly alone. As the wormhole grows ever larger and consumes more and more matter, the protagonist manages a forced smile at knowing he has someone to talk to again, "who knows what we'll see next", says the snail. Or did he just imagine it? "You can talk..?" Says the protagonist, barely mustered and inaudible. The camera holds on the snail. Slowly zooming in. The noise of the wormhole cracking and devouring the planet is the sole sound. Then black. And nothing to be heard nor seen but a few stars exploding and fading out as Happy Xmas by John Lennon's plays.
In-between-quel episodes that follow the protagonists life through the end of civilization, where he starts off as having fun and going boldly into the unknown with a hint of fear and hesitancy underlying his dialogue. Eventually it will organically lead up to the final years of civilization where the protagonist is in battle simply to feel something. Emotionless, bored and the world mainly occupied by automatons fighting an unwinnable war. We show the major bombs drop. No more humans. No more animals. Only automatons for company. The protagonist is teaching them about what it means to be human... Except the ai asks if he's even still human. Time lapse of the night sky where you can see what seems to be a shooting star nearing...

@@brodyrichter8113 I don't remember them saying anything about not needed to eat, you just get the money, I could be wrong it's been a while but the entire game is you get money but x happens.
True ending: After designing 1000 plans to get the snail away from you, you realize that eternity is a heavy burden a soul cannot take, so you embrace the snail and free both yourself and the snail from its fatal destiny
i would like to imagine that the snail and you are happy when seeing eachother at the end of time. your tired of the torment and the snail is tired of the waiting. as the universe as we now it ends, you kneel down to get near the snails level, then putting a hand out. you lift it up and it stares the horizon. you collapse to the ground and all you see is darkness. an hour later you are at the beginning of time, but everything is.. tall? your very slow as well and you aren't in your body.. your the snail. you are the snail the only way to really die is to kill another immortal. finally, after another long lifetime you touch the next immortal, feeling the sweet embrace of death.
i love that the two consensus in this meme are that 1. the true curse was the immortality, not the snail 2. the theme song is "happy xmas" by John Lennon
imagine if they created a way to ressurect dead people with 100% accuracy and you clicking the button was point less because you could've gotten the bonus without the snail part, now you're doomed to run away from the snail
I would just lock the snail in a jar and hang it on a chain on my jacket and go on immortal adventures with it. Possibly even invented technology to tame it so it won’t ever touch me and me and the snail can live our immortal lives in peace.
legit you could write a never ending series out of this concept, you can even change it from a snail, to another person, or maybe something else entirely
I love that some people have taken this meme as a way to channel their anxieties about the inevitability of death and synthesize them into something beautifully bittersweet. And also very funny.
Imagine the snail develops technology to get away from you and never allows you to embrace the sweet release of death and you spend eternity alone never getting that final wish
0:00 discussing about this, When two galaxies collide, the probability of to stars or even two space objects is very low. So when the Andromeda Galaxy and the milky way will collide we won't get hurt by anything, it will be such a giant firework show (probably in that time will be dead because of the sun imploding in itself and destroying the solar system xd)
Imagine both of em just getting stuck on a supermassive blackhole, unable to move waiting only for it to slowly evaporate into nothingness to finally end their torture
There's something that just came to my head, another angle to look at this... What if... the snail, having super intelligence... also understood and was given the same deal? Would they also run away? Or is it that the snail, smart enough to understand that immortality in their purest form... wasn't good at all? What if the snail... also dies if it touched you? Neither of you can end without touching the other. So you both never see each other. But then... the snail. The same snail. It comes to kill you. It wants death and you're the answer. It will either stay alive knowing that one person will never leave their timeline, or die with the one person who will one day in a billion years seek it. What then? Anyway, I'm going to fail this math test real quick, brb
Plot twist: You and the snail join forces you and the snail knowing that both of you together are unstoppable, than you and all the snails in the entire world join you.
It's 4053. You've lived a good life, or you used to. All of your family lived and died normal lives, there's no one left now. You've lived so long to see the good and the bad in people, you can spend a minute with someone and tell what kind of person they are. But have you ever truly made a real connection? There was always a gap in any relationship you'd had; you would continue living and they would all die. So now you sit here on an old wooden park bench. The world has evolved with far more comfortable and futuristic seating, but you find comfort in this old wooden bench that shakes when you sit down. Beside you is the snail. You look towards it and see it looking back at you. "Humans are disgusting creatures" you say to the snail. "They all have some kind of good in them . . . but they can't seem to help but ruin others lives directly or indirectly." You've lived so long that you've seen the awful things some people have done, the corrupt leaders of the world and their followers. You can't take anymore of this destruction. You look at the moon as it slowly rises with some chunks missing, it so much dimmer than you remember. As if the disgraces of humanity have made the moon loose faith as well, similar to you. You look back towards the snail and realize that it's the only one that won't leave you. Does it feel lonely? The snail never made conmections other than you . . . but it too has seen the wrongs and rights of the world, mostly the wrongs. Isn't the snail tired of this as well? You take one final look at the moon as it rises above your head. "Thanks for sticking around," you say to the snail. "Not that you had much of a choice, but thank you." You take a deep breath and touch the snail.
I love how little people know about the earth dying. It’s as simple as the sun growing big enough to burn all life to death, and then dying out leaving the earth to just become cold.
Plot Twist: If you actually seek death by touching the Snail, then he dies and you remain alive for all eternity. But you won't know of that until you give up life and seek suicide by true feeling of heart.
For some reason that "This is Christmas What Have we Done song" and the snail killing you and other video thing makes me cry. Edit: Thanks for the compliation have yourself a subscribe.
A lot of people have taken over the world and plus what do you do after taking over everything you'd only wish for death since you've physically and mentally done everything
@@skellaboyo2782 Well they can always go beyond the world and colonise space and if the immortal leader gets tired, he can always touch the snail to end it all
