A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
How many billions of people have we got? It seems like the universe is very good at scaling.
And even if it crashes, why would that mean it disappears? If your computer crashes, does it typically stop working forever, or can you fix it?
For all we know, maybe it already crashes a lot and there is just no way for us to know about it.
The simulation is intentionally choosing the most convoluted and incomprehensible content possible in order to try and stop us.
You joke, but the James Webb DLC is tripping everyone up.
We do need a reboot...
There is something inherent about spending too much time with computers that warps people's brains into compulsively perceiving everything around them in digital logic.
Many of the allegories from the likes of Descartes and Aristotle use the concept of the mind being manipulated by demons - a common trope of their times - but the concepts being explored were the same as people talking about being a character in a book, or a brain in a jar, or a computer simulation; they're just using the prevailing ideas of their time to communicate ideas to their contemporaries.
I gotta hand it to them, as far as wildly outlandish conspiracy theories go this is entirely internally consistent
I use glasses so I can switch between high render distance and high-FPS.
Nah, they got the pay as you go model. No way they end the sim, they have to see the end.
speaking through the fractal of conciousness given to me by what we refer to as "god" or the universal conciousness, for a brief second.
yall need to stop, just enjoy eating fresh fruit and chill the fuck out. maybe go fishing or something. also war is fake n'd gei. trump is on the epstein files (shocker, i know) and all of your politicians are merely a buffer for the ruling elite class, the ones you refer to as oligarchs, corporate leaders, tech bros, etc. id like to say you could handle this with words, but nope. they are mentally ill psychopathic pedophiles, rapists, and mass murderers, and the only cure for entrenched corruption like this is death. kill them, or they will eventually kill all life on earth.
on the bright side, the current living generations are the last ones who will be able to enjoy the literal fruits of the world that dont come from a can, or are made in a lab. the actual last living generation will be doing a lot of cannibalism and fighting for the shadows of what you currently consider rights and privileges, all for naught.
unless you buck up, and start killing them. this is your future.
fun to watch/experience either way, for me at least. god/universal conciousness......out!
huh...... that was weird...... i suddenly have a great and overwhelming feeling of grief, terror, and anger.
ill just go play some video games and jerk off. that usually gets my mind off of things...
If that were true, and it was just a simple large telescope using lenses, would anything have to actually be rendered or would simple 2D images displayed in the telescope results suffice? Also assumes no pre-rendering.
this mf out here thinking God is gonna pay for 4k textures on everything, even the skybox!
There's a short story (more of a novella) by Stephen Baxter on this exact topic, for what it's worth. Touching Centauri: https://www.e-reading.mobi/chapter.php/1035265/30/stephen-baxter-phase-space.html
"neilty son", aww cute name
That's silly. As our tech evolves so does the Simulation's. So we'll never crash it.
This is quite plausible if one subscribes to Boström's Simulation Argument.
Which any sane Vulcan of course does.
It’s okay as long as Moore’s Law holds, they can just keep waiting for better computer to compensate
Imagine thinking the Truman Show is an example of cosmological theory crafting.
In that hypothetical, it's not like anybody would notice.
hopefully it's not running on Nvidia
If the universe catches fire we'll know
