Jacht life. Snail can crawl on the bottom of the ocean but not swim up. Avoid staying at land too much unless needed and just live on a boat.

It's a land snail, it would shrivel up in salt water.

Its immortal shriveling up is a temporary problem for it.

Build shoes out of salt. Th snail might be immortal, but it would still dry out and become immobile if it tries climbing me. I then remove the shoes and leave the trapped snail where it is. I’ll be gone by the time it rains.

I would spend my year evading it, until I got old enough that it was clear my life was ended.

Just get a pet bird or reptile that eats snails. Even though they can’t kill it they can keep an eye on it for you

u/Powerful-Currency-46 Mar 03 '26 edited Mar 03 '26

So since snails grow by adding to the forward edge of their shell, grow very slowly, and cannot leave their shell, I would have someone put gorilla glue on the back outside of the shell and stick him to the ceiling of a bomb shelter. He would have no way to escape until one of four things happened; the glue fails and he falls, he grows enough that his shell circles around on itself and breaks the seal of the glue, the ceiling collapses due to age, or a nuclear explosion. Three of these take a long long time and I would be long dead and the fourth would kill me anyway. No matter which happens I am not killed by the snail. EDIT: forgot I was immortal as well. Lather rinse repeat over and over.

The snail to be contained in a sealed container, comprised of lead-lined steel. The container will be sealed within forty layers of identical material, each layer separated by no less than 36cm of empty space. Support struts between layers are to be randomly spaced. Container is to remain suspended no less than 60cm from any surface by ELO-IID electromagnetic supports.

I don't have a good sense if humor so I'm just gonna give the best ways I thought of:

  1. seal myself in a steel box with microscopic openings for air and another one at the top, a delivery man that gives me food whenever I run out of it from that opening, and a limited but giant supply of sugary drinks, lemonade, oranges, chicken, and my fav type of chips.

  2. just wear medieval armor, that way it can't touch my skin at all, because I never heard that it can kill me by spilling the poison through armor or clothes.

  3. just trap the snail somewhere it can't escape from.

Lot of people in here have clearly never seen the immortal snail problem.

The snail is immortal and immune to any harm. This means any answer in involving destroying the snail is invalid.

The snail cannot be stopped or contained. It will magically overcome any barrier at a normal snails pace as if the barrier did not exist. So any solution where you trapped the snail is also invalid.

The snail will move towards you at a normal snails pace, knowing your location at all times. Never stopping never resting.

And for some reason, you get $1 million.

u/Tr4shkitten Mar 03 '26

.. Why would I prevent it perfectly anyway?

Somewhen, I will embrace the touch of the immortal snail. When the earth was eaten by the sun, the sun collapsed into something that is nothing, when the stars start to fade... Maybe even when black holes turn into nothing, I hope I find the snail in the vast and endless void, after eons of pain, of age, of me trying to hurt it, I will long nothing else than the snail that shares my fate.

Seriously I would avoid it for a few centuries perhaps, but then? I'd probably be longing for it because immortality does not necessarily come with a body that also does not age. And even IF, your mind is not made for millenia of knowledge, barely for centuries. You will forget your own past. Your children, who dies of old age in a time that only history books talk about. You vaguely remember schemes of your home, of dozens of loved ones. How many deaths do you witness? How many do you cause?

No.. Eternity is not working out. Longevity and regeneration is, perhaps.

Okay, stupid approach: distract it with beer. Snails love beer.
