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
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) 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

What if life is a roguelike game ? (self.showerthoughts)

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 ?

I've heard accounts on multiple occasions, in person and not, of very young children having knowledge of things they shouldn't, or very specific stories about how they died... One very fanciful sounding example was of a child being led to safety through dreadful environment by an apparition that later in life was revealed to be of a family member that hadn't been born yet.

Even if only 1% of these stores are remotely true...

Something's fucky about reality. Things aren't as they seem. It's right in front of us, I just know it. It just isn't able to be comprehended past a faint feeling of confusion and unease.

No I don't lose sleep thinking about these things! You do! Lol
