Tbh, the fact that no glitches or things of that nature ever happen is a pretty big knock on simulation theory.

plenty of glitches.
what if ai controlling this simulation is capable of picking up on these glitches, renders them in a different light and passes them as features?
the simulation clearly doesn't have enough resources to manage all the microparticles in the universe, so at those scales, it needs to resort to statistics, and prevents us from seeing under the hood by imposing impossible energy barriers where breaking particles apart requires enough energy to patch them back up to continue the simulation.
black holes and gravitational radiation are another example.
lots more, these are just the more famous ones.

Just because you’re so boring nothing paranormal has ever happened to you doesn’t mean things don’t happen.

For OP, the simulation has error correction codes. That’s why things like CERN don’t wreck things.

Yes your universe is a simulation occurring inside your brain, if you want a soft crash, induce a seizure, if you want a hard crash, you can induces a stroke, heat strokes are probably the easiest.

Won't be easy, it seems to have systems in place to prevent that, for example when too much stuff gets together it makes a black hole.

If its updating/autocorrecting itself then every way works just once or at best probably something along few times.

it isn't a simulation, we are clearly generating an ungodly amount of information each second
many orders of magnitude greater than we did 200 years ago
if that didn't cause it to lag, i don't know what could
or do you think that a computer crashing is actually the simulation glitching?

No, It would just go slower, and since we would go slower with it, we wouldn't notice anything. We also have no idea how beefy the computers are that are running this freakshow. We could be straining them to the limit, or we could be a drop in the bucket. Probably the latter. Now, you could try some bullshit where you disassemble the universe and convert it all into a hyper efficient computer and run that at max power to try to lag out reality, but the simulation could just spoof the signals to your brain and not render any of that. You would need to be the supercomputer and just think really hard. Even then you might still accomplish nothing. The only way to end the simulation would be to render the universe into a state where nothing more can ever happen. Dumping the universe into a mega blackhole and then surrounding it with a giant mirror so that all the hawking radiation just flies back in would maybe cause the simulation to be so uninteresting that it would be shut down, but everyone would have to die first.

in short, only our brains and the signals to our brains actually need to be rendered, so there's no way to crash the simulation with buildings. Turning yourself into a universe sized brain might do that, but probably not.

Imbecile. Naturally you wouldn't observe the crash or realise it. If it crashed 10 times a day and always just reset to the last known working state you wouldn't know a thing about it.

It’s important to consider all the different possibilities.
Cats and dogs were created by humans and they have no idea that that is the case because they aren’t intelligent enough. It’s not hard to imagine a situation in which aliens created humans from the ape in a similar way. These aliens may have also terraformed this Earth. Watch Prometheus.

Simulation niggers have the worst imagination. Is the best methods you can think of to prove the theory is treating the universe as an imperfect program prone to errors such as crashing, rendering etc? Especially when these errors only exist to the end user and not those in the fucking "simulation."
>>16200678
>we are clearly generating an ungodly amount of information each second
We literally aren't. You can argue the expanding universe is "generating information" but humans do not. There's no intrinsic difference in the amount of information stored if universe was a giant cosmic soup vs how it is now. If it somehow was a simulation, if it had the processing power to simulate the universe at the big bang, nothing will change just cuz the configuration of the molecules changed.

Do you want to find out what you really are outside the simulation? What if you're just some strange abomination of eyes and tendrils in a galaxy made of flesh, would that be worth breaking the simulation? To know all of existence is generated by massive brain dreaming? Could you handle such a horror?

>Abstract: A corollary of the Simulation Argument is that the universe’s computational capacity may be limited. Consequently, advanced alien civilizations may have incentives to avoid space colonization to avoid taking up too much “calculating space” and forcing a simulation shutdown. A possible solution to the Fermi Paradox is that analogous considerations may drive them to avoid broadcasting their presence to the cosmos, and to attempt to destroy or permanently cripple emerging civilizations on sight. This game-theoretical equilibrium could be interpreted as the “katechon” – that which withholds eschaton – doom, oblivion, the end of the world. The resulting state of mutually assured xenocide would result in a dark, seemingly empty universe intermittently populated by small, isolationist “hermit” civilizations.

There is no way to know if universe is real, dream, simulation or something else. You can of course use common logic to explore the consequences of each alternative but you still never know if you premises are right. This is just the human condition. But the good thing is that you are free to make your own choice and explore it.

This was the plot of the framing story for the short story collection Phase Space by Stephen Baxter. A scientist on earth bounced a signal off a planet of Alpha Centauri, thus instantly greatly increasing the resource requirements of the simulation by forcing it to render a whole new star system. This forced the masters of the simulation, which was implied to be a screen around the earth, to shut it down and reveal themselves.
