If I only live for this single moment, I don't think I'd spot such an inconsistency. I'm now so focused on your comment, that I doubt I'd notice if I didn't actually have half of my body, any memories from my childhood, or if behind me was just empty space.
It'd be a short existence with a pretty violent end.

Or with brains capable of parsing a text? Surely only one in many trillions or more? Maybe that explains Reddit.
