A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

What if only those who commit suicide get reincarnated? Like you failed the exam and you're forced to re-take it. (sh.itjust.works)

Which is why I always interpret the mere concept of reincarnation as a product of our own selfish assumption that we as a species matter in the grander picture.

As if we're so important......

And here I was thinking reincarnation was a among same species like if you're born a titmouse you can only be reincarnated as another titmouse then again how would that work as evolution comes around like how much can a cardinal mutate before it's no longer a cardinal

We're pretty important. Maybe not so much to some aliens 4 galaxies over, but we're important to us and the reason is pretty much real magic. Qualia is a huge deal.
