Urgh... There goes 5 minutes of my life that I'm never getting back. Seriously, don't bother reading this, as it's a whole lot of nonsense. To boil it down:
- Unexpected things are happening, like Trump being elected president and some long-odds movie winning an Oscar.
- If we are living in a simulation, this behaviour is easily explained as some kind of glitch.
- Therefore, we are living in a simulation.
Betteridge's law of headlines applies here: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no."

- dingaling 10y agoIs Betteridge's Law of Headlines always correct?
- cholantesh 10y agoProbably not, but most 'laws' are generalisms drawn from repeated observation as opposed to iron-clad rules, anyway.
- cholantesh 10y agoThanks for saving us the click. Sounds like a whole lot of obliviousness if serious (did Borowitz write the article?), almost as if they could have unironically included 'our readership has declined' and/or 'our authorial quality has reached an all-time low' among their examples.
