Because some women love calling men dumb or stupid online and then wonder why boys become incel/redpill men in the future.
I’m not saying that many men online aren’t doing the same to women. I’m just tired, as a man, to go online and see memes diminishing men, and when I try to address it, nobody seems to care.
The same women that mock men for refusing to go to the doctor are the same women that mock men when they get sick.
They start with a conclusion (“men bad!”) and back-solve.
100%. When my wife asks me this question, I always ask…“are you sure you want to know?”.
Once it was the astronomical odds of reincarnation if bacteria was a factor when reincarnating. The math just isn’t there and your odds of coming back as a human would be older than the universe.
She rarely asks me this ever now lol.
It’s a quick reset, though. You’ll get back to human eventually unless you end up as one of those immortal trees or something.
I hope after this I’m always born as anything but a human.
That would imply that bacteria have souls which means that I’m committing genocide each time I’m cleaning my toilet. I always assumed that you could only reincarnate into creatures complex enough to actually have sentience.
Edit: Also a fun fact is that if you count all human beings that have ever lived in the entire human history it would still not be close enough to the number of bacteria that live in or on a single human being (roughly 117 billion humans compared to around 20 to 30 trillion bacteria).
Isn’t there a sect that kinda believes exactly this?
Jainism believes this. Their monks carry little brooms around to sweep ahead of them so they won’t crush any insects by stepping on them.
Two things:
First, mathematically, It’s sort of a moot concern. Reincarnation comes with the framework that lives are the universe experiencing itself. So There’s no “loss” in going between species as “you” will actually incarnate as everything and everyone once in non-linear time on the backend making “time” immaterial. I am you and you are me. We are all one existence. So you have time.
Second, that reincarnation frameworks usually also include a structure where it’s not random what you reincarnate as next time around. Karma doesn’t usually boot people back down to bacterium right after human. It’s usually more of a leveling up in order to experience deeper and more meaningful lifetimes. But YMMV.
Normalize having absurd and weird conversations between loved ones.
100x this.
I don’t know about everyone, but I find that these types of conversations can be stimulating/interesting
Then she asks him if he’d still love her if she was an amoeba.
How is that dumb?! Can you explain how bike tires are made then? Yeah, that’s what I thought!!
They extrude the rubber into a tube then melt the ends together and valve into the side.
I had just bought a Camry Hybrid and my wife and I were driving in it doing errands… I have a tell when something is on my mind and my wife invariably asks what it is. Usually it really isn’t anything significant and that time was no different…
Except…
I launched into a very detailed explanation as to how the Toyota Hybrid Synergy system really works and it lasted till we got home… Did I mention we had three stops and we’re on our way to the first?
She has not asked what is on my mind since.
This is a tragedy to me, one of the many reasons I married my wife is because she’s the only person who has ever been excited to hear my info dumps.
She still asks on occasion, but she takes me more seriously when I say it’s nothing all that important.
Oh if I’m thinking through something that we both need to have a say in I absolutely share my thoughts as she does with me. j
That’s a bit more comforting to hear. I love a story about healthy communication.
My spouse now knows more about 3d printing and the complex geopolitical state of fantasy settings than most actual fans do.
No, women need to understand how interesting the making of bike tires is.
If you aren’t willing to engage with your partner about their weird little interests, don’t expect them to engage with you about yours. This goes for all genders.
Healthy relationships are about sharing all the odd things going in your head with someone receptive to and interested in those odd things.
This is called knowing somebody and it really feels like it’s an utterly lost concept now. It’s no wonder people are abandoning relationships right now, people never talk about the rewards, only made-up problems and conflicts get circulated.
I’m usually thinking about minotaurs or hoagie sandwiches.
Dragons or how quickly I’d die in event of a revolutionary/civil war.
You can multitask by thinking about how quickly you would you die in a civil war fought with dragons.
You’re a goddamn genius
I found out if I really focus on my breathing I can stop thinking for a short while and often practice that.
Pigs are much larger than you expect
I stood in one place for 3 hours while they meditated and stopped thinking so the time would go by quickly until they were done and we could go for lunch. Not sure what they were trying to accomplish in that time.
