I’m sure most of us have played Skyrim. I’m sure most of us have seen the NPCs that just awkwardly stand there, swaying slightly with a blank look on their face.
I’m starting to think this whole world is just an illusion. I just walked into my break room, and saw a guy just staring at the vending machine. Slightly hunched over, and swaying.
So I sat down at a table and start browsing my phone.
He’s still standing there. Same spot. No words. Not looking at a phone. Just dead staring at a vending machine which is 2/3rds empty. Not counting money. Just staring dead forward.
After a while I wondered how long he was going to do this. I walked around the side of him, looked at his face, and asked if he was ok. He grunted at me, like hmmmmph.
I went back to my table and started a stopwatch.
When my break was over he was still standing there. 22 minutes staring at a vending machine, and telling multiple people he’s fine, but also grunting at most people.
The ONLY explaination I can come up with is that he’s an NPC who failed the turing test, and this entire world doesn’t exist. I don’t exist. You don’t exist. None of this matters.
Anyone else think this is some kind of poorly coded simulation?
Yeah but that’s what makes it a fun thought experiment imo is thinking of how the simulation accounts for our reality.
If I’m a Sim in The Sims equivalent, my dying results in the exact same outcome it does in The Sims; my avatar is gone and not resurrectable (without mods).
Maybe the Mandela effect is when we’ve moved servers from one that had different DLC.
God/Jesus/all prophets was just the admin visiting.
Ghosts are bugs in the code only visible to some of us because we have the residual DLC files that weren’t properly removed.
We can’t see far into space because the draw distance is short.
