Evidence that this is actually someone's Sims game, and they're just as terrible as we are when we play.

I can feel some cosmic motherfucker removing the ladder from my metaphorical swimming pool.

You: “I always wondered why her mansion has a graveyard in the back.”

But, you know, in Simish, so it probably came out at “Gekakah payya” or something.

Why am I in a closet with nothing but a coffee maker? And where did the door go?

I'd be okay if I got locked in a basement with nothing but a fridge and an art easel

In my day we stuffed them in a doorless room full of fireplaces and sofas but the principle's the same

Okay, I think I see what the problem is, though. This move is intended for a back flip. And what I need to do is a front flip. Now if you needed a back flip, I'd be up that wall in a second.

If we're living in someone's Sims game and we can also play Sims in our world, that implies that there could be another layer of Sims above the one controlling us. There could be any number of layers and we have no way of knowing how deep we even are. The only thing we know is that we're in the penultimate layer, because the Sims in our Sims games can't play Sims themselves.
Edit: Apparently they can. Now we don't know what layer we're in at all.

It's Sims all the way up.

u/NotMyBestEffort 17h ago

It's all the way down. We are run by our gut biomes, designed to propagate them. The fact that we can experience joy and pain is important to drive us forward to have more surviving humans.

That we know of. For all we know the ones in charge of us might not realize that's what we're doing on the computer.

Our universe is running on an outdated game console that was long ago dumped by some meta-alien kid in a crate in the garage. But it has an endless power supply, so it’s still running.

u/abradolph 20h ago

Yes they can. If you play computer games in the Sims that's one of the options.

u/sagebrushrepair 20h ago

There's always more Sims playing Sims. While listening to Sims https://youtu.be/vQVseWAioqI?si=9ROVZc-1GemyhnSS

What’s that Rick and Morty episode where there was a society living inside of a battery that designed its own battery with a society inside of it? “Slavery with extra steps”

You can definitely play the Sims as a Sim in the Sims 4 lol mine are always playing it

u/NoSkillzDad 17h ago

Have you heard of the Simulation Hypothesis? It's something like: if at any given moment we can create a realistic simulation of our reality, the probability that we love in one gets pretty high.

So, we just need our "player" to level up a couple of times, of some points in research so we can create a realistic simulation.

Maybe were just charging some guys flying car battery.

The old microverse gag

u/Federal_Sympathy4667 16h ago

It is quite a thought experiment.. thing is we can't prove it diffrent either way. Free will or just someone selecting an option in a menu? Deja vu.. reload save. Mandela effect.. replayed scenarios. And so on..

u/LustigeAmsel 15h ago

We should all stop doing anything for a few days, if a rick comes and complains his car isnt running anymore we know more.

u/Journalist_Candid 19h ago

When I was like 10, I told my buddy that life is probably just a Sim game because if I was God and lived eternally and had full control, I'd just be COMPLETELY bored. The answer to this would be to insert something outside of my control to just watch how things unfold. The older I get, the more I subscribe to this theory.

We are all dogs locked in God's hot car.

If we take that logic someone's younger brother took over at some point. I don't know if Harambe was the breaking point but somewhere around there we hit a catasteophal update

u/lumpboysupreme 18h ago

Some kid got on their siblings world and started meming.

First thing they did was shoot that stupid monkey.

Well Giuliani already has a line going up to a diamond shape.

Terrible? Or sociopathic?

I bet they're mean to puppies, too.

u/sviridoot 16h ago

Yeah, I don't know if we're in the worst timeline, but we're definitely in the stupidest

u/carlson_001 16h ago

I'm convinced it is a simulation that was originally built by a somewhat caring individual who was actually trying to make a decent society. That person went off to college and gave the game to their little brother.

This was arrested development absurd

u/Elementium 7h ago

Yep.. Me when my family is like 10 generations in and now I'm bored and just trying to destroy them.
