If you could no longer be HUMAN what would you RATHER BE?

[AviatorTom]

Simple question, a hypothetical one...

For some reason, you can no longer be human. You must be something else.

What would you rather be?

Could be anything, animate or inanimate? animal, vegetable or mineral? mortal or immortal?

Be creative... and post your response in an opinion below.

I'd rather be an alien from space, touring the universe, who just happens to land on Earth and interacts with humans for scientific study.

A drop of water. I start my journey on the shore, get picked up by a boy in a bucket together with millions of other drops of water. The boy builds a sand castle, pours me into an overturned sea shell. I stay overnight in the chilly air, only to be met by the warm rays of the morning sun. It takes until noon to feel the evaporation taking place. It's a tingling sensation all over, but I finally recompose myself as part of a cloud.

The wind will let me travel great distances, see landscapes from above I had only dreamed about, and I'll eventually end up as a raindrop in a little mountain stream. Life is endless. If have no control, but feel free all the same.

But you're 99% water already. Each drop has circled the globe for millennia passing through dinosaur Saint and dictator

[Tarifa]

Thanks for the MHO

Like I could be anything? Even a fat Jesus? I don't know, man. This life is the only one I've known. Speculating on living as another life form from my point of view is not a very accurate representation of that life. So claiming ignorance and also going with a safe bet, I choose being an immortal version of myself. Might as well throw in some magic healing powers so I can go to the hospital and cheer some people up who are dying before their time. I'm going to need to do something worthwhile with all that time.

A phoenix without question.

To burn, to fall apart, and to rise again from your own ashes.

That’s power, that’s freedom, that’s transformation without apology.

A creature that embodies both destruction and rebirth, fierce, eternal, and untamed.

If I can’t be human, I’d rather be something that reminds the world that endings are just beginnings wearing fire.

[Genie23]

A panda! HAKUNA MATATA! What a wonderful life I would have as a Panda. All I would do is eat, sleep, play, roll around everywhere and cling onto humans when they are trying to do work. 😂

[FreyaRed]

10m long Saltwater crocodile. The motto, ignorance is a bliss only full belly matters.
Of course I would enjoy a planet filled with intelligent and pretty beings who don't know war or malice and such an psycho like me lands among them to spread my evilness, but such a place doesn't exist.

[HawkPerception]

My name says it all. They can fly. They're apex predators so they don't really have to worry about too many things hunting them. They have incredible eyesight (about 8 times better than humans) and they can perceive ultraviolet light and other colours humans can't see. And to top it off, they look cool. I think they have a pretty good life, free to roam where they want. Hunt, eat, shit, mate, build or maintain a nest once in a while, sleep. The simple life.

[purplepoppy]

I was thinking a god but not sure I could handle the demotion.

[AviatorTom]

@purplepoppy You would be a good PM of Wales, as an independent country

[Twalli]

Probably a dog, or at least the dogs that my family has had. We like petting them and have a big yard with a pool. We also have a park nearby, so they're walked almost every day. Overall, they're living a pretty good life for a dog, and if I could live like they do, I'd be pretty happy.

[RandomGirl42]

A Princess! Everyone knows we're not human already! 😊

[nolabels]

When the time comes, rather than having a somewhat limited spiritual life combined with the physical as we are as humans, my hope and belief is that we'll become fully spiritual entities when we pass from this realm.

[exitseven]

I would rather be an F-35 fighter jet

[Xawyx-2]

If not Human... maybe a Vulcan 🖖😐

[Iron_Man]

I want to be human and any other animal doesn’t have much of a brain. They’re either in the zoo or left out in the wild. It’s tough times out there

[Joshydavid25]

Probably an Angel... Which are usually powerful, incorruptable spiritual beings doing God's work..

[Apulu_backagain]

My dads laptop or his car, he loves those things more than me 😭

[OneViewpoint]

God. I want the God job for a while. I'd like to make some changes.

[Anonymous]

A ghost. Not having to work or pay taxes. But look at everyone fucking up their lives. Seeing and hearing all of the drama.

[Cidknee]

Easy, dog. After seeing the movie 'Lady and the Tramp' at 6 or 7 I so wanted to be a dog like the Tramp.

[OlderAndWiser]

Can I be an angel?

[Awesomesauce2005]

I would want to be a god of the elements so I can create new elements on a whim to break our understanding of reality 🤣

[msc545]

A cat, or a dolphin, or a giant panda bear... or an enormous bird...

[sage2021]

One of God's Angels 😇

[MemeSupreme]

a vampire but take me back like 200 years

[chrissykerdock]

a dog they get treated well in 2025

[Kayla45]

Probably a protected species of animal

[curiousandhonest]

A T-1000 would be pretty cool

[Shiprex]

Wolf or dog, NOT a pet

[Californiagirl5]

Femmebot, like in Austin Powers.

[queenofcardio]

A cat

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Crow

[Chazmatazz269]

I’d be a bear.

[robocop666]

Pleadian as thats what were meant to be

[guesswhereivebeen]

Alien

[captain_voidwalker]

An android.
