Would you rather be reincarnated as an apple, or an ant?

[–] dumblederp@aussie.zone 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In all the magic reincarnation books by old Tibetan dudes, I've never read anything on apple reincarnation.

[–] Force_majeure122@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

They're fixated on being Buddha. Not enough people think about this, and it's important

[–] StudChud@aussie.zone 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Apple. Short and sweet. Then reincarnated into a beloved and spoiled housecat.

Don't apples get to spend 3 years in a woollies warehouse somewhere... how long does an ant live for

[–] Force_majeure122@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Housecats were not a part of this hypothetical, thank you.

Hey. They can be anything they want to be. I choose apple too and come back as a unicorn. 🍏 🦄

[–] Force_majeure122@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

NO UNICORNS. APPLES AND ANTS ONLY

I'll be a housekitten then, thank you.

Edit: i answered: i said apple. Then I expanded.

[–] Force_majeure122@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think apple is the correct choice, well done

[–] StudChud@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

I don't need your approval mate

[–] PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

An ant I think. Lift many times my bodyweight and get into small places.

[–] Force_majeure122@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What about spending your days just chilling and absorbing nutrients in the sun and fresh air? Better than following some chemical trails and being a sex-slave to the queen imo.

[–] baconmash@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What about getting burned and chopped down alive?

[–] Force_majeure122@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What about having your home attacked by an anteater?

[–] baconmash@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't think there are that many anteaters around?

[–] Force_majeure122@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Echidnas, numbats. There are many.

[–] baconmash@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

they are cute enough it's fine eat me

[–] PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

My luck I'd get pecked by birds, infested with Codling Moth and rejected by supermarket chain lol.

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

An ant I think? Not sure want to come back as a fruit.
