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 life is a roguelike game ? (lemmy.world)

What if when we die, we respawn, as another human, or even, another species.

Each life, from birth to death is a roguelike run.

Weew, if it too difficult, will you reset for new run :v ? Just kidding. But also, I know that modern roguelike game have something to make you stronger, and inherited into new run, on and on. Kind of permanent upgrades.

So, perhaps, if this run too hard, endure it. Which will make you "get-gud", and hope for some useful bonus, permanent upgrades for further runs.

What do you think ?

Why are y'all hating on existential questions? The answer is unknowable. Just have fun with it~

I feel like I am so close to realize something. I just need some inspiration, so I share here for bro to come and learn the world with me.

Because the answer is pretty simple, if we leave the superstitions at the door...

But that's the paradox, isn't it? How can you label something superstition with zero scientific knowledge?

Is it? I don't remember any past lives and neither do other people I know. Seems like a pretty clear no.

You could arguee that it does happen and you just don't remember, but that's functionally the same as not being reincarnated.

Just because you're unaware of something doesn't mean it didn't happen, though.

I get your logic here and honestly we largely agree. I think memory is what most people view as the "soul." Without it, what are we?
