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.

What if only those who commit suicide get reincarnated? Like you failed the exam and you're forced to re-take it. (sh.itjust.works)

Could lead to weird issues. Imagine if Germany attacked France and stole their homes. Then the French commit group suicide and reincarnate into children of their German conquerors. Then as their parents die, they inherit their own land back.

I do want to add that being reincarnated does mean you failed the test, that's how Hinduism works. To escape being reincarnated, you have to become enlightened (from there you go to Nirvana which is not described with much detail).

Here's a detail: it smells like teen spirit.

That’s Buddhism not Hinduism. Buddhists try to escape samsara, Hindus try to do well at it

Thank you for the correction.
