Are we a real life version of The Sims?

[RobotoWorks]

I read on QJ sometime ago, that there's a 20% chance we are a computer simulation. If that's true, how come we haven't found ways to cheat at the game we call life?

 

[Chicago Ted]

Me and my friend made a religion worshipping Will Wright, creator of the Sims.

We are Simslamic.

I read on QJ sometime ago, that there's a 20% chance we are a computer simulation. If that's true, how come we haven't found ways to cheat at the game we call life?

And that 20% comes from, is based on, or is speculation from... ?

 

[Leorex]

thats the dumbest thing i ever heard.
but it reminds me of bender when he gave that speech about life being a computer simulation, or if it mattered, then the guy went "i dont know"

 

[DrScoobs]

dunno. maybe stuff like deja vu are all glitches in this wonderful system. but seriously, that idea was new in 1999. the idea that we are computer simulations is nothing new

 

[quack35]

Someone needs to hit the reset button. The simulation's getting way too confusing.

 

[matnatz]

There's a 20% chance that we can be anything.

You probably wont believe me here, but I'm actually god. I just thought I'd keep it a scret for a few thousand years to build suspence y'know.

 

[DarkSaber]

No.

i was wondering what that green plumbob was doing floatiing over my head...

this calls a lot into question, i suddenly realise now why all the toilets in the entire house disappeared, and i found myself locked in a room with no doors or windows...

and to answer your question, i found a way to cheat life, heaps easy, just open up the console and enter some codes in, i have a solid gold house now

failing that you can always piss around with your mobile phone while liberty city cops shotgun your ass

 

[Utarefson]

Because you need to be outside a game to find a way to "cheat" it? (the way you mean it differs a bit from the orignial meaning,imho)

 

[El Taco the Rogue]

No, we arent, because we can escape from ladderless swimming pools

 

[antipunt]

no

 

[Zand88]

Of course, with that same logic, there's probably 20% nothing exists. But that's another story.

 

[historybuff]

Because only the players can use cheats. Not the sprites.

Though, if this were life were [Creator of Choice]'s Sims--hmm. Maybe he couldn't get the guidebook?
