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.

    I think being an ant or some other kind of eusocial insect would be interesting. Not the most peaceful existence out there, but definitely an interesting one.

    I want to be reincarnated as a magic swordsman with OP skills and live a quiet life in the dangerous forest where everyone will leave me the fuck alone.

    Housecat please. I think I’ve really upped my goodness in this life and can hopefully have a calm, warm, cozy environment to exist in next time.

    I’ve already been reincarnated as a wind turbine. I wasnt sure how to feel about it at first, but now I’m a big fan.

    Jellyfish. Nothing to worry about. Just floating around. Get eaten? No sweat, you don’t even have a brain. It’s be pretty boring, but what do you care? You don’t have a brain.

    Alternately, the blue jays always seem to be having a good time.

    Would I be limited to life on this planet? I wouldn’t mind having a go as some alien lifeform on some distant planet.

      I don’t think the rest of the universe is that willing to see us spread around, as they’re watching us destroy the single planet we have access to. Human species is considered a bit too dangerous for the health of the rest of the universe.

        Just imagining an alien studying a beetle analog and wondering why it’s killing everything within a meter of it and planting only one type of crop that it just uses to stand on.

    Easy: House cat.

    One of the well-looked-after, non-abused ones, naturally.

    I already know about the monkey’s paw curses for that.

    You have the constant recurrent belief that your owners are not pampering you at all times on purpose. And that they’re basically stupid big kittens who meow all the time and are terrible hunters. And that they control the rain but won’t turn it off for you. And also I don’t like this brand of food any more.

    And hairballs.

    I suppose it’s time I had another nap.

    … but I think I can live with all that.
