You knos, I've genuinely wondered if I am one. I mean, you look at my life, split it up in significant parts, what do you get? 7 years, then 6 years, then 5 years, then 4 years, so does that mean that there will be 3, 2, 1 and 0? Only one way to find out. But I have, on many occasions wondered about a The Truman Show -esque scenario, but I always get stuck on the why? My life isn't nearly interesting enough for a show. Scientific experiment? Wouldn't make much sense, unless the real world is very different. Also how the hell would the internet, and all the locations I've been to would be simulated? That's multiple large cities. So, yeah. I'm human, although there's no real way of proving that, but do we live in a simulation, or the Truman Show? We don't know.
OP, I think you gave theshatterstone54 an existential crisis...
No haha, It's a thing that I sometimes wonder about, OP just reminded me of it.
