Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? 23:50 - Oct 22 with 1483 viewsCoastalblue

Not so sure now as I was earlier on this evening, though if it turns out not be actually real then it's a really sh1te simulation someone is forcing on me.

No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.

This is something that continually comes up.

The headline is misleading, the final paragraph basically says it's unlikely we are given Occam's razor and the fact we think we know how to detect if we are and have tried and haven't detected it.

It's certainly possible though, we could likely create such simulations of creatures within the next 100 or 200 years without any problems.

We are part of a computer (Earth) designed to find the Ultimate Question. Once we have that question, Deep Thought's answer to the Ultimate Question will make sense.

However, the dolphins will flee Earth, leaving a note saying 'so long, and thanks for all the fish' seconds before the Vogons destroy Earth, which was within five minutes of producing the Ultimate Question.

Not covered by this article though.

Disappointing.

And, as we all know, the indigenous ape-primitives on the planet were usurped by useless incompetents who were more interested in clean telephones and applying the correct mood lighting to tubes of toothpaste than looking after the world around them, meaning that the whole exercise was essentially worthless.

Also, there appears to be a signature in the cliffs off the coast of Norway...

It wasn't, but I like the idea, so it is now.

By the way, good luck remembering on Monday that I said this.
