If it's the realistic kind where you just don't age, the statistical certainty that you'll eventually die in an accident, or to war or murder. Your odds of getting to the heat death of the universe without making backups is pretty slim.
If it's the kind where you're indestructible, you're highly likely to encounter someone who tries to bury you alive in a subduction zone eventually, because humans are like that, and then you get to spend eternity slowly moving into the scorching mantle.
I would hope to get realllly good in avoding people who'd put me in a subduction zone ๐ญ
It would be an obsession of mine, if I was cursed with the inability to die under any level of duress.
I'm not saying it's common, but punishment by live burial is a thing, and billions of years is an awful lot of human history.
The death of the sun will then eventually set you free into the gravity well of the sun where you'll live burning hot untill heat death of the universe. What to do after that is anyone's guess
Well, depends. The Earth is actually right near the edge of where the sun will expand to, so there's a chance the scorched glob that used to be Earth will stay in orbit. Either way, it will still be hot for a while, and you're ultimately stuck in something solid - be it a dead planet or a white dwarf.
There is such a thing as merciful death; it would not be good to be cut off from it.
At least I won't be a snail in a metal ball full of salt.
EDOT: Typo, snail <-> small
Is this a quote from something? I'm OOTL.

One of the solutions was to put it in a giant metal ball and throw it into the sun or something. The salt was just out of spite.
Ah. And you typoed.
Oof, that was a hard one. Autocorrect strikes again.
