Comment on What if reincarnation is real, but you were probably plankton in your last life, so you don’t remember anything anyway?

  But human existence is suffering. Buddhism teaches that if you do incredibly well, you'll be reborn as a being with a worry-free life. Being a plankton sounds exactly like that.

  IMO human existence, with all its benefits, is waaaaay below plankton.

    Interesting thought, but I’ll take thought over what’s basically water-grass.

      I’ve tried thought. I’d like to go with plankton for a whole now, thanks.

  Homie led the plankton revolt of 1831479QT, and ushered in a golden age of cooperation and peace between the sea Lords and planktonions, so that only the old, sick, recently deceased plankton would fuel the hunger of the overlords

    Damn, I didn’t realize plankton had it so hard. Makes sense that it would be krill or be krilled.

    The way they die in old age does not appeal to me.

    Growing forever, but eventually when they get too large, their shell becomes so difficult to molt that they die of exhaustion before they can complete their molt.
