Just the muse of a question, if you had more than 600 years of life, what would you do with all that time?

Sleep.

The same thing I do now: Survive the best I can and try to learn something new every day.

Finally have enough time to be able to match all my socks.

Well…it would depend on how well the body held up.
If my aging process stopped right now, given the fact that at 56 I am starting to experience various aches, pains, creaks, and cricks and body parts going wonky, I would still be soldiering on and finding enjoyable past times, learning new things and stopping to smell the roses.
If my aging process continued on as the average person I would probably be in a wheelchair around 90 something, growing cobwebs on my hearing aides and straining to read the small print. This is also not addressing what it would cost to live 600 years.

Holy shit, what, one would need about 150 gazillion dollars to be “retired” for 535 years or so? No thanks, I wouldn’t want to spend the last 510 years of my life broke, in an ancient womans body. lol

Sorry to pop your senior moment balloons but if you and I lived to be 600 years you can bet your last bottle of wine that the actuaries would make sure you worked well in your 500’s before you could think of retiring. The upside is if you contributed to your IRA all those years you could pay off the entire US Federal debt or take the vacation of a lifetime.

Go camping, hunt ground squirrels and jack rabbits.

@Cruiser How very pragmatic of you, that sinks it, work ‘til your 540, egads…this is a terrible question. lol

Well, if one was to live that long, I would believe the rate of aging would be in scale to the total life expectancy. I would not imagine the effects one feels at 60 years today would not show up until somewhere around 400–550 years.

I would waste my time trying to prove it to other people and get put on psychiatric medications.

AND then sleep.

Biblical scholars don’t believe those numbers. Prevailing wisdom is that what the bible says is a year was actually a month.

methusaleh 969 = 80 years
noah 950 79 years

In those days, living to be 75–80 years was pretty much an accomplishment when the average lifespan was around 40.

All of that said, living to 600 would depend on a lot of things, not the least of which is – how would I feel and how mobile would I be?

I would definitely hibernate for some of that time, 600 years sounds thoroughly exhausting, I’m tired just contemplating the idea.

I’d like to help bring dentistry and eyeglasses to people around the world who can’t afford it. Learn to play the piano. Build a cabin in the woods.

I would only want to live that long if u got to stay “young” for that long too. It would be pretty miserable to hobble and creak your way through 600 years.

I would do a lot of gardening, and see the world.
I have so many things I would like to do with my time, it would take at least three hundred to cover most of it. After that I would slow down a bit, and do things with less frequency.

I’d go back to University every 80 to 100 years to be sure to be up to date on everything and adjust my career accordingly. I would have more than just the one kid, I’m guessing out fertility is stretched out as well, here. I wouldn’t waste time and I’d have a strew of lovely romances. (Contemplating this, I feel bummed I had to pack just a few in, between the ages of 18 and 30-something) I would definitely have a farm and raise much of my own food once I was settled with kiddies. The seasons would come and go like days and with the perception of time altered to that extent, I think being in better touch with the Earth and the Universe would feel amazing, I’m imagining.
Many of our problems as a species is that we live such short lives and have such short memories and forget history and are in constant pain at repeating it.

If the first 500 years of that lifetime were spent as a kid I’d spend my time riding bikes, watching tv, reading books and eating candy. There lies the question: how would these years be divided up?

I’m guessing for the final 500yrs i’d be pretty preoccupied with finding transport for my testicles.
Those balls are going to be dragging along like Linus’ blanket, maybe some sort of cart would be in order.

@ucme Well, we could start calling you old scrotum now.
Ooh look, here comes old scrotum with his new, high tech, testicle cart.
You could spend the whole day at the zoo and not be worn out from toting your saggy balls around all day. lol

@Aster There lies the question: how would these years be divided up?
Just kicking out a median number to use, if 900 is the high side and 600 is the short side, the average lifespan being in the neighborhood of 700 years and change, 250–300 years would be your child years, 301–500 years or so would be your young adult and mature years, then 501 beyond would be middle-age to senior years.

@Coloma Not now you couldn’t, give it another fifty something years or so, right now…my nuts are in fine order :D

Shoot myself.
