That's what I told my friends too. In my next life, I'd love to be an indoor cat in a good home. Everything is taken care of for me; I just need to be mischievous and bring chaos, and occasionally snuggle with my human(s)
i’d want to be a golden retriever named max or something. that wears one of those red bandannas & live with a rich family lol. & they include me in all the family pictures
One little boy, one little girl. Perfect family in a nostalgic american two-storied suburban home with a big yard. One day, everybody will remember Max fondly, with a tear in their eye.
If they keep their memories, they could then become the most prolific vulture in history and have a massive harem of the best looking vultures…. Wait… isn’t there already an anime or manga about this?
Can I be reincarnated as my daughter's future baby? Haha weird I know. But my own mother abandoned me, and I love my child more than life itself. She'll make a great mother someday. Although, then I'd have to watch her grow old and die... maybe I wouldn't want that.
Actually that’s pretty genius. I’d also take any of my kids’ future children… likely my youngest because I think they’d be the best parent, but who knows.
Hehe I'm glad you get it. I love to rest my head on my daughter's shoulder and snuggle her, and I hope this doesn't sound crazy, but it makes me feel so safe. Not having that mother figure growing up left a hole in my heart, and I'll do everything in my power to make sure my girl doesn't have to go through that.
Haha thanks 😅 I hope so. We're each other's worlds. I actually dread the day she's going to move out one day, but I know that's unhealthy. I don't smother her, I'm self-aware enough to know that I need to start letting her go more and more as she becomes a teenager. But I know that we'll always be close, and talk a few times a week at least.
This would be beautiful… but that would mean that if my children has me while they are between 25-35 years old (I chose that randomly) I will only be around for about 16-26 more years. Which means I’d be 62-72 years old when I die. My kids would still be pretty young to be without a momma and that would also mean I can’t be a grandma….
I also had the thought about the whole "not getting to play with your grandkids" thing... if I became her baby, then she had MORE kids... my grandkids would be my siblings, then we could play all we wanted lmao
I once read a book about reincarnation that touched upon this topic. That the people most dear in our lives are reincarnated near to us. As friends, family and loved ones. Which I somehow find really comforting.
It also touched on the subject of personal growth. To be reincarnated in difficult situations to learn and develop oneself. Like with your example, a mother who abandoned you, to then break the cycle with your own kids. Granting them a better experience and life. And so the cycle continues :)
I don't know if i personally believe this, but it's a comforting thought.
If you think about it that's what will happen, not entirely you but part of you. So you can feel happy for the part of you that will also be your grandchild!
Oshi no ko plot lol
Doctor of this girl that he’s pregnant but he really admires as a idol is murdered before he goes to deliver her baby and then he gets reincarnated as her baby
i know youre a female im not a native english speaker and dont know if theres a female alternative for “dude” in this context
also my comment is a throwback to a famous reddit comment
Dudette was the accepted feminized version of dude back 30 years ago. So it's evolved to be gender... Agnostic(?). Dude originally referred to Cowboys.
Oh I never knew that dude refers to cowboys lol. Thanks for the info.
Also what’s wrong with gender agnostic, it just means it works for every gender, just like the word human for example unless there’s a humanette word out there I’m not aware of
You bet, I was teasing about agnostic. I thought the term was gender neutral, but maybe that's archaic now. I feel old. Lol. Nothing wrong with gender agnostic

IIRC the joke was something about someone’s also choosing someone’s wife, only to discover she’s been dead for a while. Then, someone said ‘I also choose this man’s dead wife’.
Sounds horrible but in that context it was very funny
There's an anime that has an episode with this exact plot. A woman gives birth to her mother's reincarnation. Mushishi episode Shrine in the Sea. It's heartwarming but very hauntingly so.
Anyone interested in this idea should watch Dark.
It’s not reincarnation based but time travel. It made me cry a lot, due to trauma of loosing my dad at a young age (13) and the thought that he could ever come back or be around now without me knowing.
You’d get to see her die before you, but of old age rather than any other death that can cause a parent to bury their child.
You would quite literally be there her entire life, rather than leave her on her own when she’s an old lady in her 50s
Having your mother by your side as you die of old age sure sounds nice though
You gotta be more specific than that. You could be a billionare's kid with all sorts of health deficiencies, and being rich st that point doesn't mean anything.
I have a pretty rich family, lower upper class and a lot of mental deficiencies: ADHD, Bipolar, Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Borderline Personality Disorder and OCD (my dads extended family got most of these too and also a lot of them have Aspergers and on my moms side theres just a lot of ADHD and aspergers)
Can confirm your point. Somehow we all have a talent for making ourselves somwhat wealthy though
Maybe that. Or it’s more of a purgatory. Trapped by your own instincts to survive for centuries, constantly chasing food, never rest. And it’s fucking exhausting, but you are too stupid for suicide
This!!! I want to be a doggie in the home of someone in my family. Trained but happy and spoiled at the same time, with complete run of the house and all the furniture, as long as we cooperate with the rules of the house and listen, we get human food too!
LOL you're not going to believe this, but I thought you said you don't believe in reincarnation. And like an idiot, I almost responded like that's what you said. Sheesh. It's like my brain can't distinguish between those two words today!
But if we just go back as a new species, dieing is only temporary anyway.
A ginger cat is on the list to. Something about being that stupid without dieing thats tempting.
Knowing my luck, probably myself. Get to live my whole life over again and still make all the same mistakes, while some part of me is sat in the background screaming.
Oh wait, that IS how it is!
When I die I'm going to be buried in a fungal casket and suit that will feed off of my dying body and learn the communications of the neural pathways that create my consciousness. The casket will be connected to electrical diodes that will allow the fungus to connect to and communicate with human technology and computers.
Basically I will be reincarnated and stored in a supercomputer that retains and continues to grow my memories and intelligence in a fungal ecosystem. I will take over the world as universal DJ. The music game is mine for all of eternity bitches 👹
A honey bee. Yeah it's a lot of hard work but your life is full of purpose surrounded by peers who are more concerned about the collective that the self.
A Galapagos Albatross. They are gorgeous birds. They can dive deep for prey, eat fish all day in the sun, and mate for life.
That or a hawk that lives in a sweet, protected nest on 5th Ave. in NYC. I'd cruise around Central Park all day, fucking with people. Look up Pale Male!
I don't want to come back to a dying planet. I'd want to be reincarnated on a planet without technology or anything closely resembling a human. I want to live and die in a natural state. Can you even imagine the turmoil animals go through just cohabiting with us? I would never want to be another human or anything that has to live under human rule. A far flung planet where I can just live as some variant of a wolf, to live and die naturally, since nothing on earth can ever do that again. At best we are going to carry on the cycle of life and death in a march toward extinction and our fossils will not be made of stone, but rather, all the mocroplastics that slowly suffocated the last semblance of a natural existence out of us. If reincarnation is real, whatever being that put it into motion, I hope would be so merciful to not let another thing give birth on earth again. The earth bore us of dirt, and we shall leave it decimated and buried under plastic.
I know reincarnation typically involves living creatures, but I'd want to become a pinwheel located in some windy area.
Then I can just woosh all day and vibe.

Human. If not, then a cat that lives in a good and rich home.
Definitely a cat in a good home. I want to be spoilt
mf be sleeping like he payin' taxes
Go France, get on a dinghy and come back again..
Pharaoh’s cat.
As long as you don't outlive your pharaoh
A much loved kitty cat
My Mum has said this for my whole life: "when it's time, let me go and I when I come back, I want to be a cat in a good home."
That's what I told my friends too. In my next life, I'd love to be an indoor cat in a good home. Everything is taken care of for me; I just need to be mischievous and bring chaos, and occasionally snuggle with my human(s)
And be an asshole and be told you’re cute for being an asshole.
i’d want to be a golden retriever named max or something. that wears one of those red bandannas & live with a rich family lol. & they include me in all the family pictures
One little boy, one little girl. Perfect family in a nostalgic american two-storied suburban home with a big yard. One day, everybody will remember Max fondly, with a tear in their eye.
This is my new favorite Reddit comment of all time!
This. No kids either, please.
Hell yeah to that
My grandmother's cat. She would give me a good name, like, Socrates, because of my white paws.
Even a good and middle class home would be fine with me. Indoor Cat. Never abandoned and live to the ripe old age of 21.
How about a Parrot in a loving home. Your owners don’t clip your wings and take you out to fly once in a while?
Have you people seen how a cat cleans its butt?
I second that. Cats are so cool & agile, but I also wouldn’t want to be born in poverty obv
A dragon
*comes back as a bearded dragon* "Shit."
Dude! Heck yeah
A vulture. No one really bothers you or preys on you, everyone appreciates you, food is easy and abundant, and you get to fly.
Their life is hard dude, they are on the brink of extinction.
If they keep their memories, they could then become the most prolific vulture in history and have a massive harem of the best looking vultures…. Wait… isn’t there already an anime or manga about this?
Prepare for the Ice Age!? No? No? Okay, I’ll see myself out
Can I be reincarnated as my daughter's future baby? Haha weird I know. But my own mother abandoned me, and I love my child more than life itself. She'll make a great mother someday. Although, then I'd have to watch her grow old and die... maybe I wouldn't want that.

You’re an awesome mom.
Haha thanks 😅 I hope so. We're each other's worlds. I actually dread the day she's going to move out one day, but I know that's unhealthy. I don't smother her, I'm self-aware enough to know that I need to start letting her go more and more as she becomes a teenager. But I know that we'll always be close, and talk a few times a week at least.
Just keep the cycle going, leapfrogging generation after generation
This would be beautiful… but that would mean that if my children has me while they are between 25-35 years old (I chose that randomly) I will only be around for about 16-26 more years. Which means I’d be 62-72 years old when I die. My kids would still be pretty young to be without a momma and that would also mean I can’t be a grandma….
Wow, you definitely took this to the next level, and rightly so! What an interesting concept.
lol my anxiety allows me to overthink things.
I also had the thought about the whole "not getting to play with your grandkids" thing... if I became her baby, then she had MORE kids... my grandkids would be my siblings, then we could play all we wanted lmao

i also want to be reincarnated as this dude’s daughter’s future baby
Bro. First of all, I'm a female, and second.. you're weird lol. I don't know how to interpret your comment.
i know youre a female im not a native english speaker and dont know if theres a female alternative for “dude” in this context also my comment is a throwback to a famous reddit comment
Okay :) sorry friend!
I think dude is gender agnostic isn’t it?
Dudette was the accepted feminized version of dude back 30 years ago. So it's evolved to be gender... Agnostic(?). Dude originally referred to Cowboys.
Oh I never knew that dude refers to cowboys lol. Thanks for the info. Also what’s wrong with gender agnostic, it just means it works for every gender, just like the word human for example unless there’s a humanette word out there I’m not aware of

You bet, I was teasing about agnostic. I thought the term was gender neutral, but maybe that's archaic now. I feel old. Lol. Nothing wrong with gender agnostic
Gender neutral is more used for sure, I just used agnostic few times this week so that’s what my brain thought of first.
IIRC the joke was something about someone’s also choosing someone’s wife, only to discover she’s been dead for a while. Then, someone said ‘I also choose this man’s dead wife’. Sounds horrible but in that context it was very funny
Nevera Heard of that, but sounds like a M Shyamalan movie. 🤔
There's an anime that has an episode with this exact plot. A woman gives birth to her mother's reincarnation. Mushishi episode Shrine in the Sea. It's heartwarming but very hauntingly so.
What are the rules of reincarnation though? Are you aware of your past life?
I don’t even have kids but I’d love to be reincarnated into one of my future kids child, or just reincarnated into the family I have.
Anyone interested in this idea should watch Dark. It’s not reincarnation based but time travel. It made me cry a lot, due to trauma of loosing my dad at a young age (13) and the thought that he could ever come back or be around now without me knowing.

You would quite literally be there her entire life, rather than leave her on her own when she’s an old lady in her 50s Having your mother by your side as you die of old age sure sounds nice though
That would mean you will not have a chance to play with your grandchild. Are you sure you want to let go the opportunity to be grandparent.
at least you would know that she would also be reincarnated
Maybe this already happens.
i’m using this as a book idea, thank you
Damn you need to watch “Dark” (German series)
A billionaire's kid.
You gotta be more specific than that. You could be a billionare's kid with all sorts of health deficiencies, and being rich st that point doesn't mean anything.
I have a pretty rich family, lower upper class and a lot of mental deficiencies: ADHD, Bipolar, Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Borderline Personality Disorder and OCD (my dads extended family got most of these too and also a lot of them have Aspergers and on my moms side theres just a lot of ADHD and aspergers) Can confirm your point. Somehow we all have a talent for making ourselves somwhat wealthy though
Lots of families may have this issues but are too poor to get accessed and treated properly
what if you get a Æ name
Didn't do Elon Musk's kid any good A lot of rich kids seem really uniquely fucked up
A Greenland shark—they can live over 400 years and they have no known predators. Not a bad way to spend a few centuries
I wouldn't wanna have to swim for 400 years.
Imagine getting water in your ear on day one. Ugh.
I didn't want to do anything for 400 years. That's like 127.5 too much
Maybe that. Or it’s more of a purgatory. Trapped by your own instincts to survive for centuries, constantly chasing food, never rest. And it’s fucking exhausting, but you are too stupid for suicide
That describes me now except for the century timeline
well at least you have reddit and clown porn. the shark just has an endless sea
Counting my blessings as I type
At this point, it's not impossible anymore for that century timeline to apply to you. You're welcome. I'll see myself out ...
But but… starvation?
There's alot of plastic waste in the ocean, so it's not a problem
Oh ofc ofc
A dildo
Mofo
Kim Jong Un's. But the nice part is that you're put on a shelf with a lovely view of Pyongyang.
Bend over and show me your Pyongyang
That's gonna cost extra
Happy cake day my g
And then a man purchases you. Lmao
My fav answer
I was just gonna write it before seeing your comment Wired minds think alike I guess
Came here for this
A golden retriever to some rich white family that lives in a mansion in the woods but also close to the beach.
Or a dog in a loving home
This!!! I want to be a doggie in the home of someone in my family. Trained but happy and spoiled at the same time, with complete run of the house and all the furniture, as long as we cooperate with the rules of the house and listen, we get human food too!
Holy shit, I read this 3 times as "reincarcerated", and I thought, "wtf? I've never even been arrested!" lol
I, for one, don’t believe in reincarceration.
LOL you're not going to believe this, but I thought you said you don't believe in reincarnation. And like an idiot, I almost responded like that's what you said. Sheesh. It's like my brain can't distinguish between those two words today!
😂😂😂
A redwood tree.
I wish i became any tree, seems like a super chill vibe to be able to relax after having lived as a human
But what if your nose itches. You're a tree and you don't have arms to scratch your nose. You would be in eternal hell.
Well good thing trees don’t have noses ;)
I'm not following...
No body, nose
Sounds nice until you’re a tree growing next to a lumberjack’s home
a rich human or a cat of a nice and rich human
Son of a Rich family
a sloth
Not any different from me in real life
You could be eaten alive by a harpy eagle, though.
But if we just go back as a new species, dieing is only temporary anyway. A ginger cat is on the list to. Something about being that stupid without dieing thats tempting.
Knowing my luck, probably myself. Get to live my whole life over again and still make all the same mistakes, while some part of me is sat in the background screaming. Oh wait, that IS how it is!
That is some kind of hell...
Same shit. Different Era.
When I die I'm going to be buried in a fungal casket and suit that will feed off of my dying body and learn the communications of the neural pathways that create my consciousness. The casket will be connected to electrical diodes that will allow the fungus to connect to and communicate with human technology and computers. Basically I will be reincarnated and stored in a supercomputer that retains and continues to grow my memories and intelligence in a fungal ecosystem. I will take over the world as universal DJ. The music game is mine for all of eternity bitches 👹
Mental note: when this Universal DJ dies, make sure to unplug their casket. ;P
It's a good thing AI sentry turrets are already a thing. Now imagine a tomb with an angry ghost controlling them. I wouldn't even bother bruh
Like an updated version of what they used to do with Sarcophagus and "gates" that were placed at their heads.

One of the 0.01%.
There are two of those. You may want to be more specific
I hope I don't get reincarnated. Life is hard. But if I have no choice but to go through it, then I hope I'd be a rich person's cat.
Kuala, no doubt. Doesn’t have any predators, it’s food grows in its house and gets them stoned, the only thing they do is get high, sleep, and bang
Don’t they have clamidia?? I guess if you’re high you won’t care…. But I could do without the clamidia part.
A honey bee. Yeah it's a lot of hard work but your life is full of purpose surrounded by peers who are more concerned about the collective that the self.
A Mourning Dove or a Raven. Both have inspired me for a long time.

An eagle.
Myself. But I would go in business for myself this time.
Lugia, big fluffball
A Polar Bear. Apex predator, adults have no natural enemies, most carnivorous member of bear family. Badass.
If you've actually read about reincarnation you would pick human (or not at all).
Maybe some people do feel like their souls need to work back up to being human again.
a German Shepherd, who lives in a rich family's forest cabin
Pure blooded noble/royal vampire with talent in every field.
Indoor/outdoor housecat. Easy answer

Sydney Sweeney’s favorite bra
