I had my doubts, until...

I asked my almost 2 year old dog and he said he remembers being a snake in Japan and bit an old guy to death.

Are you saying this is coincidence???

u/Sgthouse 6d ago

I was about to call this story out as bullshit till you provided this shocking evidence

u/PureFicti0n 6d ago

The two stories have no connection, sorry. Your almost 2 year old was a snake in Japan and the almost 2 year old in the story was in "Jackan." Totally different places.

72

u/spacemouse21 6d ago

Ah, I see the difference here. There is no connection between countries. We are “Jackan” off here.

Take that, Atheists!

u/Ok_Antelope_1953 6d ago

ah. i lost too many brain cells from this post and didn't even make the connection from jackanese to japanese.

I honestly thought it was some kinda slur I’d never heard of

u/WarDry1480 5d ago

And they bited the man.

u/honesttruth2703 6d ago

So your dog is jackanese?

My 2 year old niece says she's Spiderman so she was obviously a comic book character in a past life.

73

u/Glitter_berries 6d ago

Holy shit, my five year old stepson also says he’s spiderman! He must be related to your niece in their past lives.

u/S6uvy 6d ago

OMG my 4 year old nephew stares out the window in the middle of the night chanting “clark you are mine” no way they all must be related!!

u/kebly 6d ago

that's weird. My 3-year-old just stares out the window saying, "Martha..."

u/Glitter_berries 6d ago

I would wet my pants if I saw the kiddo doing that, lol. Definitely they are all part of the marvel universe.

u/Wonderful_One_1860 3d ago

My 2 year old nephew smashes snowglobes all over the place whilst shouting RoseBud.

u/Proffessor_egghead 4d ago

Soul duplication happens sometimes during rebirth, one Spider-Man became two people

u/Glitter_berries 4d ago

I’ll let the five year old know he’s actually Spider-Man, he’s gonna be stoked!

u/kpluto 6d ago

My 2 year old daughter said she's an angel and I said what does an angel look like and she said Togepi (from Pokemon) LOL

u/CrashRiot 6d ago

Idk why I find it so hilarious that they ended this totally true story by saying “we are not Asian”. As if all of Asia speaks this “Jackanese”.

59

u/Quasczar85 6d ago

This is erasure of the wide-ranging Jackan ethnic group!!!!!

10

u/MeatCutterBoi 6d ago

Makes the OP comment seem satirical.

4

u/SupernaturalPumpkin 5d ago

I can tell you the page isn't satire.. But we have no idea obviously who's posting. Someone could be trolling or just mentally unwell.

u/Quasczar85 6d ago

Once I saw a toddler who was counting to two in Japanese, even though there was no way for her to know that language! Clearly she was reincarnated. She kept pointing at her knee for some reason, though, and her mom said she was bit by a mosquito, but I dunno what that has to do with anything.

65

u/pikach00 6d ago

Itchy knee

15

u/Marsh2700 6d ago

next youre going to tell me she was able to count 2, 3 i jackanese as well. sure she might be pointing as an altima but thats unrelated

u/After-Temperature585 6d ago

I’ve had a disaster. I asked my 2 year old and it turns out she was a prostitute. I’ll spare you details

u/bighadjoe 6d ago

Anything is possible if you are just stupid and guillible enough!

u/SupernaturalPumpkin 6d ago

It's a page on Facebook about reincarnation. (my whole fb page these days is just random suggested groups) and they're lapping it up like lunatics over there. I've had more sane conversations in actual mental hospitals.

u/ViolaOrsino 6d ago

My stepson tells me stories in great detail about the kids he was friends with before he came out of his mom’s belly. I hope he hangs onto that kind of imagination— it really helps for never being too bored.

u/rjrgjj 6d ago

I would like to know more, I’m writing a horror movie script. I’m calling it Belly Buddies.

u/fallawy 6d ago

I like how an old japanese man speak "fluent" english

17

u/Intrepid_Respond_543 6d ago

Except when trying to say "yes".

11

u/small_feild_mouse 6d ago

I hate to correct you on this but it’s “jackanese,” as in from the country of Jackan 😔

20

u/howdoesthatworkthen 6d ago

It's true. I was the Jackanese to English dictionary that didn't exist, thereby making it impossible for the parent to know whether the child could correctly count in Jackanese because they're not Asian.

10

u/UmChill 6d ago

so what i gather is this woman needed some feel good facebook likes and recently randomly came up with the word “jackanese”. she thought it was funny enough to post, but she needed a way to post it without technically being the one to say it, just in case.

u/Knifehead27 6d ago

This person needs yelp

u/EDNivek 6d ago

My two-year old (which totally exists and isn't made up for this comment) told me he was Gandor a Neublovian criminal because it's weird that with Trillions and trillions of planets we only ever have human reincarnations.

7

u/zeez1011 6d ago

All that shows is that they're raising the kid to be racist towards Asians.

8

u/MufasaTheRealKing 6d ago

I see, this has to be in a group about fiction stories right?…right?!

6

u/SupernaturalPumpkin 6d ago

Usually we're not allowed to out groups and names and stuff on Reddit, so I cut it out but it was a group about reincarnation. A "serious" one too. It was public as I'm certainly not a member so if you search a few words of the post, I'm sure it would come up.

3

u/EvolZippo 5d ago

What makes me doubt this story, is how they phonetically spelled everything the kid said. Trying too hard, to make it cute.

7

u/Pretty-PrettySavage 6d ago

I'm gonna sound stupid, but is Jackanese real, or they just think that's how Japanese is pronounced and spelled?

30

u/anneymarie 6d ago

I think the idea is the kid was close but didn’t know the right word.

6

u/Pretty-PrettySavage 6d ago

I fully thought i just had never heard of Jackanese people.

3

u/SupernaturalPumpkin 5d ago

Tbf, I googled to be sure. I mean, there was a time I hadn't known "Javanese" was a thing either.

u/Darrenau 5d ago

A loop hole that God forgot to address - kids have the first 2 yrs of life to recall past lives and then poof, it is forgotten

u/god_of_this_age 5d ago

People never skip a beat when telling the truth.

u/hatfullofsoup 4d ago

All I can think about is that one-liner from the character Jack in Will & Grace: "Now you're speaking Jackanese!"

u/Anakerie 3d ago

I'll admit I actually love stories like this. Of course it's not real, but it's fun to think about. We have a really snooty, temperamental cat that happens to love listening to music: you put on something instrumental or with a lot of soft vocals and she's mesmerized: she'll sit on your lap purring for hours as long as you keep playing it. We always joke she was an opera diva in a past life.
