I would still be curious how much I can get out of life in billions of years.

You are curious now. You might become less curious after the first billion years. :-)

PS. I'm not advocating deathism. Just saying that any period of time is insignificant, when compared to a much larger period of time. The billion-year happy intergalactic civilization is still absurdly tiny compared to the eternity of Boltzmann-brain-infested Darkness that follows...

PPS. Or we could just taboo the word "absurd".

This reminds of a website where you can check if the Earth has been destroyed.

Thanks. Now we need one to check the existence of the entire universe. Of course, the site will have to be hosted off-universe.
