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

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

Could lead to weird issues. Imagine if Germany attacked France and stole their homes. Then the French commit group suicide and reincarnate into children of their German conquerors. Then as their parents die, they inherit their own land back.

I do want to add that being reincarnated does mean you failed the test, that's how Hinduism works. To escape being reincarnated, you have to become enlightened (from there you go to Nirvana which is not described with much detail).

Here's a detail: it smells like teen spirit.

That’s Buddhism not Hinduism. Buddhists try to escape samsara, Hindus try to do well at it

Thank you for the correction.
