    Would it count as suicide anymore?

      cylons can resurrect/reincarnate everytime they die(the show never actually showed how they did it). plus since they had no fear of death thier reincarnation, they can callously keep throwing bodies against thier enemies, and provide useful intel as well.

        I would say it’s tactical at best.

        Rerolling. As a Civilization player, I get it. I’d be aiming for that legendary start too.

      I mean I don’t see any difference between death and reincarnating without past memories.

        If you lose all your memories due to amnesia, you will still be you, experiencing reality as you, just with your “hard drive” being wiped.

        In that case, people with retrograde amnesia are already dead and we should just consider them a new legal person…

          Yes. That’s actually how that works.

          If no one can identify you and you have the physical symptoms of amnesia (which can be detected… Sorry fakers!) then you get a new, legal identity.

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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
