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.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I’m not sure I like the analogy here. Why would a teacher let a student retake a test they walked out on without finishing? It’s one thing to fail, and try again, but you have to complete the test first.
They'd be retaking the entire class by being reincarnated.
I feel like in this analogy, a near-death experience would be more like being given opportunity for a test retake.
They didn't walk out. It's just how they chose to complete the test. Nobody fails.
