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 think when you die you go back to the last checkpoint, and then you survive whatever it was that killed you. And you lose your memory of the time you died, so all you remember is the surviving arc.

I read a short story once that made me think about something similar, that everytime we die our consciousness shifts to the multiverse where we didn't make whatever choice lead to it. To everyone in that initial universe you'd still be dead but you'd continue on somewhere else.

It’s not just a story. That’s how life actually works.

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.
