Surprisingly, it’s been 1.5 years since this was last asked.
I pick Peregrine Falcon. They thrive all across the globe, they’re fast as fuck when they’re in a dive, they’re the cutest killers, but they’re not at the top of the pecking order, which means a lust for life.
Hyrax!!
A cat in a wealthy, loving home. I’m not social enough to be a dog, and the way my cats laze about like they don’t have to worry about rent really induces a special kind of envy. I don’t care if I’m stupid or ugly or even a little deformed as long as it’s not painful. I just want to be a lazy kitty who gets random cuddles but I never expected to engage. And then when I do engage everyone swoons.
What a life.
A rich person. Imma fuck em up from within
I’d like another go at me. I feel like I made some mistakes early in the game.
Buddha. I get to reach Nirvana right after this form.
Those hotsprings monkeys in Japan seem like they’ve got a good thing going.
Capybara.
Chill. Zero fucks given. Love water.
I would want to be an elephant. Pretty cool, gets quite old, smart, social. And maybe I could maul one or two poachers if it comes to it.
Do I have any say over conditions aside from species?
If so, a dog in a rich family. One of the more intelligent breeds, possibly a border collie or German shepherd. Seems like a good life; well fed, sheltered, nothing to worry about other than wondering where my owners went/when they’ll be back when they leave the house.
If not, idk, make me a jellyfish or something. No thoughts, just floating mindlessly in the ocean without a care, occasionally getting touched and making them regret it.
The consensus for those in the house pet demographic seem to lean towards dogs over cats. I wonder why that is?
I’m with you but not necessarily rich just loving. Obviously we cant know without living it, but I do think domesticated dogs/cats with loving owners have the best possible lives on earth
If we can do that, then I choose to be reincarnated as my aunt and uncle’s dog. He’s a Bichon mix that gets to just hang around all day in the southern California sun, eating amazing food (he gets scraps after meals), going on awesome trips around the world and sailing…
Tapeworm. Nothing to do but just hang there and eat the food that someone else finds for me. That’s the life for me.
I’d wanna be an orca, so that even in my second life I can eat the rich
More seriously, orcas can travel a lot and see wildly different parts of the world than I can hope to as a human. Seems like a good animal to be, since it’s intelligent, doesn’t have many predators, and is cute af
Human
Turns out being a human is pretty sick
It’s easy to take what makes us special for granted.
Yeah can we pick which human?
Otter
Maybe a giant panda? Cuddly, dumb and unlimited bamboo everywhere.
A clown. They’re pretty funny
