No, this is not a joke, reincarnation is real, and there is scientific evidence.
Explanation:
A University of Virginia professor named Ian Stevenson became interested in this phenomenon in the 1950s when he first read of actual case reports of children who remembered past lives. He then published a report compiling many of these cases, asking for someone to do further research and collect more cases, not knowing he would be the one to do it.
Ian went all around the world, meticulously documenting thousands and thousands of cases of children who has vivid memories of past lives, names, places, specific events, and most commonly, the method of death. For around half of these cases, using the child's memories, link these memories to an actual dead person, with the details mapping perfectly. Professor Stevenson was a man of science, not one who was into conspiracy theories, so he was very thorough with his research, publishing multiple 2000+ page books detailing case reports. Another professor, Jim Tucker has continued his work and is publishing and giving talks to this day.

The most famous case of reincarnation in the west is James, the reincarnation of a world war 2 pilot. Here's an excerpt from the abstract of a case report
Video by Jim tucker on reincarnation detailing much more evidence:
In these cases, people disproportionately died young, died by unnatural means (war, murder, accident, drowning, etc.), and only a very small percentage of people have these memories, typically fading once they reach around 10 years of age. They are also usually reincarnated near where they died, in the same village, or a neighboring village, and typically a bit more than a year after their old self died.
Although reincarnation is undoubtedly real, it asks more questions than it answers. For example: does everyone get reincarnated when they die, but they don't remember? Or is it only in special circumstances? Can people be reincarnated as another type of animal? What happens if all humans die? Can it be controlled? Where are we in between reincarnations?
I don't have any science to back up any answers to these questions, and speculating on some of them would make me sound like a delusional hippie, but I will conjecture that everyone does get reincarnated when they die in an endless cycle of rebirth, given the prevalence in so many religions (European Paganism, Hinduism, Buddhism). Memories of a past life is an anomaly, and 99% of us don't maintain any memories of past lives,
What does this mean for us:
Many other things we believe about the world are likely untrue, and our souls are more than just our physical bodies.
It teaches us to not fear death. Knowing that we will be reincarnated allows us true bravery and not fearing doing things with a minuscule chance of death.
We should care more about our people and our family, and less about randoms across the world. Many children had similar traits to those who they were reincarnated from. We also know that behaviors traits are highly influenced by genetics, hence those we are reincarnated from are likely very genetically similar to us (many cases of grandparents being reincarnated as their grandchildren). Therefore, the only way to make your next reincarnation good, is to lift up those most genetically similar to yourselves, helping to explain why ethnocentrism is seen as good in every single culture other than the west.
Making changes that will help your people is crucial to living your next best life. If you want to become chad in your next reincarnation, make sure your family and countrymen have ideas diets, breastfeeding is highly encouraged, the water isn't filled with phthalates, parabens, and birth control pills, and make sure your people do not die out, because it's unknown if you will have a reincarnation if that happens.
