That's the purpose of a species, not of an individual. I'm not sure they actually have i dividual purpose. Sure they want to survive, bit that's more of a goal than a purpose.
It is the tiny URL link that has a unique identifier. The normal website links are just the regular website address root for reddit.com. Tiny URL links stand out more to me because I use a DNS whitelist firewall and will never approve any of these forwarding connections.
This life, that means exploring the manifold between spiritual and physical reality, and making cool shit happen, as well as reconciling 'paradoxes'. To play with the rules. To explore the connection of love and power. To face fears.
This is a bit of a weird question to answer because it depends a lot on context.
At its core, the purpose of life is to reproduce and guarantee your bloodline passes on to the next generations. That's kind of the heart of evolution. That's great and all but that just means we're here and we have a lot of time in between all that if we even want to follow that purpose.
Beyond that evolution purpose, I believe that the goal in life is to get as much enjoyment out of life as possible. A lot of that is based on experiences and personal growth. But the reality is that's all a personal choice. You get to make up your own purpose, and that's just one I've made up.
You do you, but life is short and we don't get a second chance.
I am not looking for a purpose. All I care if I or people close to me are having a good life. It is not always good or perfect. But overall, I am happy at where I am but I also have space to grow to.
Longterm I want my purpose to be to create innovation in research and agricultural robotics without having to work for a capitalistic company with the sole purpose of making my boss more wealthy.

The crappy video attached to this post made me think ads made it to Lemmy.

Fun fact: did you know that I can't remove the video from the post after it got posted at all?

There isn't one. I'm just here until I die.

What is the purpose of a snail or a polar bear or a single blade of grass with their life?
That is my purpose.

So... reproduction? Have offsprings, then die?

You're imposing a purpose on them, not all of them will reproduce
bastion@feddit.nl · 2 pts · 259d
Survival and reproduction aren't the purpose, they are simply structural. Perhaps, simply as experiences, they could be of the purpose.

If that is your interpretation then maybe that is your purpose.

If you ask a biologist this will probably be the answer.

To crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and to hear the lamentation of their women!

Why the reddit tracking link?
makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml · 5 pts · 259d
Just out of interest, how did you identify that tracking pixel? That's a skill I'd like to learn.

...where is the tracking link?
The link is video embed, extracted using focusred for Android.

To grow, experience, and create.

Earlier: similar, but with more fears to face.

Play videogames, make videogames, start a family, fuck a lot, solve problems. I've been mildly successful.

It's all meaningless anyway, so my purpose is to appreciate the joy of what is in front of me and enjoy my existence while it lasts.
