An African Penguin. My child has convinced me this is the best animal ever. Or a puffin. They are also excellent.

I didnt think of that lol that would be fun.

emmetgirl · 23/08/2025 22:27

A cat owned by someone like me. I’d have a life of luxury and be pampered whenever I wanted it.

I know! In and about the action. Camaraderie with my human.

A tree in the middle of a remote woodland.

Betsylee · 23/08/2025 22:38

As very intelligent, I'm quite bright but not bright enough! so then hopefully I'd have a job that totally fulfills me and I love. All my jobs have bored me tbh!

ninjahamster · 23/08/2025 22:41

I’d like to come back as an artist. Somebody really creative and successful.
Slim, I’ve never been slim and would like to experience it.
Confident and able to socialise and speak in public.
I would travel the world and experience so much.

TomatoSandwiches · 23/08/2025 22:44

A big fat house cat with some ridiculous name.

abracadabra1980 · 23/08/2025 22:44

Maybe an oak tree-so I could keep an eye on how life changes in the decades after i have departed this mortal coil-but realistically, I’d want to be a brilliant, academic animal behaviourist.

AnotherDayAnotherDog · 23/08/2025 22:49

I'd like come back as someone with the abilities and good luck to get into a genuine position of power and change some of the terrible things going on in the world.

shellyleppard · 23/08/2025 22:53

Definitely a pampered cat who's very much loved. Failing that....guy garveys wife 😂😂😍😂😂😍

Florencearbuthnot2 · 23/08/2025 22:59

A Seagull
As many chips,pasties as you can eat
A quick saunter into supermarkets ,the crisps are located on the bottoms shelves hopefully
Shit on people you don’t like from a great height 😊

PInkyStarfish · 23/08/2025 23:02

I’m a vegetarian so I can’t stand the thought of eating worms if I come back as a bird so I would like to comeback back as a Giant Panda.

I'd just be me again but slim. And with more energy. My energy and weight influenced so many of my life decisions, often indirectly by affecting confidence. Slimmer energetic me would have gone travelling and retrained when she hated her job by going to evening college, because she has energy for that. And a million other little things. Basically I'd like a do over please. Preferably with a good singing voice. Also I'd like my (Irish Catholic) parents to have the values they had in the 2000s and not 1980s so I wouldn't have to battle every minute of my life because I couldn't conform with their very narrow world view, which they U turned on after I grew up.

If that fails I'd like to write a brilliant critically acclaimed bestselling book under a pseudonym and never write another thing again, I'd live off the proceeds but no one would know it was me.

iamnotalemon · 23/08/2025 23:52

As a man

SeaUrchinHat · 23/08/2025 23:55

I’d like to come back as someone who doesn’t notice every sodding grammatical error.

Heyhelga · 24/08/2025 00:02

A squirrel. Spending my time climbing trees and then hibernating through winter.

CottageGoblin · 24/08/2025 00:08

Id like to come back as a motherfucking shark.
not worrying about Monday. Too busy being a big effing shark.

I like this. Also a dormouse - they're really cute and they eat their body weight in fruit and nuts and then cover themselves up with leaves and sleep all winter. Sounds great.

marshmallowfinder · 24/08/2025 00:50

In your next life. Not you're (means you are) next life.

I'll come back as a beautiful willow tree.

kippersmum · 24/08/2025 01:05

I'd like to be one of our family cats. Pampered all day every day and all I need to do is eat, sleep and have a wee in the litter tray. Sign me up

Redheadedstepchild · 24/08/2025 01:09

It might be fun to be an octopus, considering that they are very mysterious creatures with all manner of strange things going on with their nervous system, perhaps a kind of really clever brain going on inside there, in whichever head, arm, leg...or different brains in different...bits...

I'm not a marine biologist.

They don't live very long though, so I might prefer to be a blue whale. They seem like a good species to belong to. Very kind to each other and they love their calves.

I don't want ever to be a female dolphin on the other hand. The behaviour of the average young male dolphin is hardly gentlemanly.

Mistyglade · 24/08/2025 01:15

An Octopus because they are extreme smart and tend to live alone plus they punch unsuspecting passing fish then quickly hide for fun.
