Look around. The best pet for a nihilist is a human.
Ants probably are the perfect fit in terms of symbolism.
Each ant has a purpose in the hive. They live and die trying to fulfil that purpose. If anything it's the antithesis of nihilism as it's a purposeful life without the need for greater meaning.
i'm a nihilist but I love animals
i just hate humans
Nihilists keep whatever they want because it doesn't matter.
A black cat.
The blackest cat you can find.
Wtf I want a pet shadow too
Be sure to feed the shadow treats every so often
Go back to >>>/x/ and talk about magical rocks/gems/crystals somewhere esle.
Get a slime mold. Its not a plant or an animal but something weird in between. Its intelligent and stupid at the same time which makes it fun to watch. Also my cats like the way it smells.
Yeah these things are cool. Don’t like how somehow they aren’t mold though. Very confusing.
I think that it being weird single celled goop makes it even better.
if you are a nihilist you have no excuse not to just have a nice day
if you object you are not a nihilist.
>There is no point to suicide.
Check mate.
A dog, because you are not special and to disagree with this is to repent as a nihilist
checkmate pseudgays enjoy your new shiba inu puppy, it's an excellent breed and life has meaning so suck it and such.
>Shiba Inu
Thats for women. Men have Akita Inus.
Mushrooms. Revel in the process of decay and the beauty of renewal given form within one organism. Eat them and find out what the whole big deal aournd spiritualism actually is.
Nihilism is baby's first existential dread. Buckle the frick up boy, it gets way better and way worse from here.
Objectively the Planarian Flatworm.
The flame of a candle.
You'll have to buy some extra candles if you want the flame to live longer.
But does it really matter anyway?
wat
Life is based on the oxygenation of carbon based compounds.
A flame is the most basal and pure form of life.
Would you care enough to keep it alive?
Would it even matter?
"Life" is just a taxon.
Things that didn't evolve from the universal common ancestor aren't "life"
It's usage for autorreplicant machines is stupid and wildly biased
So if we encountered space aliens that evolved completely independently from humans, having literally no common ancestors and being from a completely separate tree of life, you'd say we shouldn't qualify them as life but as something else?
Yep, "life" is also very biased towards earth organisms.
If it can't reproduce on it's own isn't life
If it's not made of cells it isn't life
Even already existing complex replicating organisms aren't alive just because of those technicalities.
Viruses are the usually quoted example but an even stupider one is spermatozoa.
They move on their own to reproduce and they generate their own food (technically the parent "preloads" food into it, kinda like queen ants) by expending the energy they've got in the previous generation, then they find an external reproduction enabler cell (egg) and enter a larval stage that needs about 13 years to be sexually mature, then, with the genetic material it got from the egg cell, it starts producing offspring.
Even then, since to reproduce they need a different kind of cell neither egg cells nor sperm are alive.
Who is to say aliens can't develop symbiotic reproduction instead like that?
Maybe there are even some that require completely inert external chemical processes to reproduce, like a geological feature.
Also why can't we create artificial metallic life? In the very next future(maybe now even) all conditions sans being made of cells can be fulfilled by a robot, even so, they're not alive
Naw mate, fire is alive, a self sufficient, self replicating robot would be alive, aliens would be alive. You're just making shit up.
Sperm are classed as cells anon...
But they can't reproduce without a different "species" of cell, therefore they aren't considered live creatures
All I'm saying is that the term "alive" is nonsensical, you can claim fire has a lot things in common with the taxological family of life, and you'll be correct, but fire isn't a live creature either
You are one 9 off beating my digits I am afraid. Sperm are cells and therefore living.
he doesn't know about the panspermia-seeded human beings from other earthlike planets

bacteriophage viruses
>fire is alive
truth, it has a skin, innards, root, consumes organic stuff, exhales water, emits photons & heat.
there's more to water than what we've been taught, too.
sounds like fun, but too gross to keep indoors, presumably.
ummmmm ackshually, "rock" refers to compressed nonliving stuff of various types...
A rock.
A ferret.
Nice marmot
a mayfly - fully grown, they only last a couple of days at most
idk a leech or something.
a cyanide tablet
Fish. There's nothing more pointless than fish as pets
As pets you interact with, sure, as living art pieces or members of a tiny ecosystem inside you're home, they're pretty neat.
No, you really can get much worse. Consider animals that barely move or barely count as animals. Think about the people that put snakes in drawers or have a 1 cubic foot box with black dirt in it that they have a pacman frog in, or the weirdos that keep sealed vivariums with nothing but springtails, rolly-pollies, and the occasional worm. Ant farms? Fish? Turtles? Lizards? They wander around, they act out, you feed them once a week or so, they have personalities even. Not so for the prior examples.
Honestly vivariums seem kinda cool though. Not in the sense of pets but just managing your own ecosystem. Only having tiny bugs is a waste if you can have more though
As a pet?
>As a pet?
Yes, they are interesting fellas. People talk to plants you can talk to mushrooms to. They always look so stumpy and special ed' when they fruit. You can harvest all of the weirdos and start breeding operations of all the special ed' mushrooms and get some really weird abominations that you sort develop a fondness towards. Especially ones which have survived issues with cultivation and went on to become big and strong.
Its essentially eugenics from the beauty of your living room but you can eat the super soldiers and go through an insane trip.
hermit crabs
The void.
Death.
A worm farm. They endlessly turn over in the earth, eat shit, and die.
Koi and goldfish in an outdoor pond. I only have to feed them for six months of the year because they go dormant when it gets cold. Easiest pets ever.
Taxidermy
A dog or cat is respectable and will bring you back to God. Otherwise just get some edgy snake or spider I guess.
Plants have made me appreciate God a lot
Perhaps that's what OP needs
why and how so?
I'm a nihilist and I've kept cats and dogs all my life. Just got a new puppy because my old boy is 12 now. I don't think that god comment is true.
Funnily, I am a taxidermist.
I don't think you're a nihilist anon...
Otherwise why would you shed tears when your old boy dies. True nihilists are out there killing themselves
1. God real
2. Evolution: gay moron theory
There are only 2 options
3rd option: god uses evolution
Are you moronic? Most Christians are not Young Earth Creationists.
When the old boy dies, I'm going to taxidermy him. Who said anything about crying? I'm going to turn him into art.
