I saw this article on wikiHow: https://www.wikihow.com/Discussion:Tell-if-You’re-a-Real-Person-or-a-Character-in-a-Video-Game
This seems like a joke article, but it still got promoted.
The article’s about how to tell if you are in a simulation. But isn’t that kinda a joke? I mean, we can’t prove we are in a simulation.
If we are in a simulation, technically the simulators have probably configured everything complex enough for us to not find out we are in a simulation. That’s why none of the things apply to us in the article.
If we are not in a simulation, then we wouldn’t need to find out if we were in one (since we aren’t even in a simulation and don’t need to worry about that).
So, the article’s useless both ways. If we are in a simulation, we can’t prove it since none of the stuff in the article applies (since the higher-level beings have programmed all the complex details so we can’t find out if we are in a simulation). If we aren’t in one, we don’t have to use this article.

Hiya, this was one of a few articles created by staff members in conjunction with the movie Free Guy at the end of last year. They are hosted on wikihow-fun.com
. You can see more about it in this wikiHaus Lab update
under the “Just for fun” title
These would come under the staff exemption to the deletion policy and part of the reason that we added that in here
