To experience happiness.

Nope. But we all get one! Did you not receive yours? Shock

Let's say science has breached the boundary wall of the sim's sandbox and has concluded that we are in fact in a sim we cannot control or affect.

Knowing this, would you just meh, and continue ordering pizza and chicken wings?
Would you change your outlook to your perceived life and do things differently?
Would you go all Vegas shooter because life is just computer code anyway? No "real" harm done anyway.
Theists, knowing everything is false, including our reality, our sacred texts, etc, what would you do different?

I'm convinced the theists won't comprehend the gravity of the situation and deep down still believe there is a god that made the sim people.
Even though everything they think they know about said god was all part of our sim to start with?

I'd probably do nothing different. It feels real. The fun still feels good, pain still feels bad. Work will still suck! What's really different?

I'd rape and pillage.

Hammy, there's been an error with the deliveries of the manuals!

Mine says to pop out kids and drink a lot!
Pretty sure they mixed mine and LFC's up? Dunno

I'm suspecting LFC's husband has mistakenly read the wrong manual! Hehe

Go pull a can of Coors out of the fridge. If you can beat that, I'm OK to step aside. Tongue  IF you get my meaning. :brow:

My bad. Take 1 cm off the diameter and 5 cm off the length of the can. There you go! Tongue
