and you have the ability to teleport. Every time you do so, however, you lose one month of life.

How often do you see yourself using it?

This.

I'm not expecting to make it much past 70 anyway, but 69 (nice) would be good enough for me. I'd use it to visit parts of the world and not have to worry about the costs of travel.

12 teleports eliminates a year of life. So, a maximum of 420 teleports before it kills you.

I'd save it for emergencies. It doesn't seem worth using.

Most likely never. I don't see many situations where teleporting would be worth one months worth of life. Maybe to save somebody important to me.

35 more years at my age would be a good run and probably longer than I'd expect to actually live. So I think I'd probably use it a handful of times to take the wife on some nice vacations.

Are you already old enough to where 35 more years would make you too old, or do you just not wanna be around for another 3 & a half decades?

Its not. You can still get hurt/killed. You just have the ability to teleport, and each time you use it reduces your 35-years-remaining lifespan by a month.

You could have been referring to the part about each teleportation reducing your life by a month, so just had to be sure.

But yes, youll live for another 35 years (barring being killed), but each time you teleport takes a month off that number.

how can it be 35 years if other shit can kill you too.

suppose you have <1 month to live. And you then teleport, thus putting you over the limit. what happens then? Stack overflow error? Infinite more months?

The same way a doctor telling a terminally ill patient that they have 6 months left to live doesnt mean that the patient is now immortal for six months.

suppose you have <1 month to live. And you then teleport, thus putting you over the limit. what happens then?

You die.

You die.

no, that's been established. But I'm asking a deeper question. Obnviously, you go over the limit. So when do you die? Mid teleport? Pre-teleport? Upon arrival, which puts it over? It's a flaw in the premise. How is the flaw adressed?

Suppose you stand in front of a train and teleport at the exact moment that it strikes you. Not an instant before or after. Are you dead? Or did you teleport? Try to think of it in the context of shrodinger's cat.
