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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

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.
