    The Internet already is a simulation of real places and things.

    What do you mean by “simulation”?

    Simulation as in “the internet is not real and our computers somehow have everything already stored on them and there’s no data transfer happening across telco infrastructure” ?

    (Because that’s easily disproven - you can message your friends and tell them to meet you somewhere, and when they meet you there, that proves data was moved from your device to their device. )

    If that’s not what you mean, please explain (in detail) what you mean by “the entirety of the internet was a simulation”

      You discussed some of the possibilities. How about like an MMO where some of the people are real and some are NPC but the entirety is being ocastrated by a single entity.

    Look at phenomena that should be totally random, and try to find evidence that they were produced by pseudorandom number generators.

    I know a couple of people in real life who are also on the internet. If the entirety of the internet was a simulation, I’d ask them about stuff they’d posted and they wouldn’t have any idea what I’m talking about.

      Was about to point this out. I’d just go to one of my IRL friends and have him send me an E-Mail/PM/whatever while i watch him do it.

      I think therefore I am. If reality is fake it’s such a convincing fake that it effectively doesn’t matter.

      I think, therefore I am

      From that we can affirm that at least one thing exists [me], thus the one and true question remains: Why does something exists instead of nothing ?

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it’s in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
