Given the choice, Instead of ctb, Would you choose to become a different animal?

[tiredofbreathing]

Random thought popped in my head today.
If you could become a different animal than a human (you'd choose what and the life it would have) instead of ctb would you?

 

[fuzzy-clown]

Wait, so I could be a talking dog who knows how to use the Internet? Hecc yeah, sign me up!

 

[empty sighs]

Centipede.

 

[OutOfTheVoid]

i would be a fox. or better yet, a plant or flower.

still would prefer to ctb, but i'd prefer being non-human over being human.

 

[Homo erectus]

Some lifeform without interaction with human. Maybe some deep sea creatures.

 

[Octavia]

I always wanted to experiment with flight. Being an avian creature would be nice, although that food and comfort would likely be harder to attain compared to if I was a domestic cat.

Yeah. I was thinking a orca or dolphin lol

I feel like it would be miserable to be a dog with the same "intelligence" as a human with no hands etc :/

 

[Source Energy]

If my memory gets erased, maybe an eagle...soaring high and solitary, unbothered by other birds

Domestic dogs are often deformed. Many have problems like joint pains. Orcas and dolphins are locked up in aquarium like a toy. Sadly animals liked by humans don't usually go well.

Fortunately most Ocras on earth aren't in aquariums. I don't think the United States and Canada is capturing them anymore tho unfortunately the few ones that are left are still there. I don't know about other countries policies tho

Yes the further away from human reach the better. In some places there are dolphins watching tours. They are probably less cruel than aquariums but the engine noise is probably still very annoying because dolphins have good hearing.

 

[Unending]

I would probably rather just get it over with but if I had to take my pick, I feel like being a cat in a good household with lots of treats would be nice.

 

[death's lover]

I would want to become a cat. Or a capybara.

 

[Jadzia]

No, life includes suffering even if you're an animal that is an apex predator. Never existing in the first place is my top choice

 

[snailboy]

yes! i have a deep love for snails and slugs, i think a life as one would be very peaceful.

 

[lost-unfound]

absolutely, I think my inability to meet the high requirements for living life as a human is a big factor in what makes life not worth the cost to me. plus, I'd say most other animals could get themselves killed more easily than humans can, should the need arise.

Yeah. In my opinion I don't even think zoos should exist.

 

[MissionSucksAssFul]

Shit yeah! I would go basic: bird! any bird! just to finally see what it looks like when you fly

 

[JustSomeoneOnline]

I don't think I'd want to be an animal, but an inanimate object sounds nice. I could be a rocking chair or something. I honestly wouldn't mind that.

Dog or cat

Even if you were conscious tho?

I mean sure, if all i have to do is rock back and forth and occasionally have people sit on me.

 

[MyLifeisHell]

A bird so I could fly and shit on people's heads.

 

[Darkover]

forget that why anyone would want to be a less creature in this hellhole is beyond me

I like animals more than humans tbh lol

 

[Shadowlord900]

I would like to be a dog... But that still doesn't change the fact that this planet sucks for almost all species. But being a bird (ideally a large one that can't be hunted by other birds) just to shit on people's heads sounds hilarious.

 

[Sparr0w]

guess what id be >:)
....honestly, probably a domestic cat, sounds like a good life to lay back and relax with everything you could ever want served up on a platter. sparrow? ehhh, i'd have to find food and stuff... not bad, but not great, either.

 

[assisted]

Probably not. However, if suicide was not an option, and becoming another animal was my only other option, then I might try it. It sounds terrifying, though.

 

[Archness]

Depends on if I'll keep my human mind. If I got to keep it, then what's the point? If not, it's basically ctb with a reincarnation afterlife. tbh, maybe I'd go for a predatory bird, something that flies fast, high in the sky.

That assuming the planet isn't destroyed or something. If it was, I'd perfer ctb, or being a meek lifeform like bacteria (If I MUST pick).

 

[damnatio memoriae]

I would love to be a stupid dog
