I'm happy we die. I used to want to be religious if nothing more for the "living for eternity" bit. Not anymore.

Could be,
but as far as my knowledge goes, it makes more sense that I just have'nt existed.
Obviously our knowledge is limited, so we can never really know for sure.

But if you prefer that over non existing....
Well enjoy doing infinite amount of things infinite amout of times for infinity.

Non existing is neutral because there is no more good or bad for you.

I'm curious why you think boredom is so horrible that it would cause one to suffer. So what if I end up eating pancakes an infinite amount of times or sleeping with with beautiful women an infinite number of times? That doesn't sound like suffering to me.

Also, if there's an infinite amount of things to do, you never need repeat yourself.

That too. And you also don't have an infinite capacity for memory so you'd end up forgetting so many things that they'd still feel new to you even if you did them before.

Sleeping with a beautiful women will be fun at first, but because youll do it infinite amount of times, you will get used to it. it will become less and less fun.
until youll get bored from it. and it will be this way with every single thing...
Doing something fun infinite amount of times is a torture.
Doing every possible thing infinite amount of times.... is the ultimate torture.

You will have tp repeat yourself. infinity*infinity = infinity. remember?
That means, you can and will do infinite amount of things infinite amount of times if you were existing for infinity.

Infinite means never ending. If you have a never ending supply of things to do, there won't be repetition.

How do you know there will be an infinite amount of things to do?

I get your point. but:
There will be repetition. why?
because if there are infinite amount of things, everything will repeat itself infinite amount of times. so you will be basically doing the same things forever.
