You and I can't rule out, amongst others:
We are just a brain in a vat/the Matrix etc
Your/my brain is faulty and/or these are false sensations/memories

You may claim to have 100% certainty, but this is a mistake you are making as you cannot know for certain anything at all.

Sure I can, I'm not unrealistic as you seem to be. Live in a vat if that's what pleases you but it does leave you out of reality, now I feel sorry for you.

It's called solipsism, you simple sap.  It's essentially an epistemological thought experiment that can't really be disproven, but no one (aside from psychotics, perhaps) actually live as though they believe it.
