    If being thrown into the sun can’t kill you, then you’re invulnerable and torture can’t be a thing.

    I disagree. there several forms of torture that don’t involve killing you

      How do you hurt somebody who is invulnerable and doesn’t need to breathe? How do you torture somebody who can survive being crushed by the sun? Tickles?

        I don’t think any of those mean they don’t feel pain. Or do we assume that instead of flash and bones they are made of steel or another metal?

        op didn’t mention invulnerability, though, just that they couldn’t die. if we agree that the question is about a human, we know there are several ways to torture without causing physical harm (e. g. waterboarding, or doing something with those who you care for), but physical harm also does not mean death in many cases

        if we don’t agree that the personis a human, or even that they are not a living being, I don’t know what to say but I think the point of the question was lost

          The question posits that there is no death. If there is no death, then being thrown into the sun doesn’t kill a human. If you can come up with an explanation for that that doesn’t involve invulnerability, be my guest.

            Because they get their invulnerability from rapid regeneration.

            Their flesh still burns, their bones still break, but they heal quickly, just to be burned and broken again.
