This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

there are no registry of panda before the 1800

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mo_(Chinese_zoology)#Mo_giant_panda

Why do they lie about facts that are so easy to disprove?

I mean, it’s 4chan. It says (or at least it used to) that only a fool would take its stories as real right on the webpage

It's greentext so the pandas are fake and gay, that's why they need to be artificially inseminated.

[–] Rose_Thorne@lemmy.zip 27 points 1 month ago

Dammit, even the pandas are Yuri.

It's inescapable.

The prophecy has been fulfilled.

I always heard they were larger and ate a specific diet of plants that are now extinct, and so have adapted to only eating low nutrition bamboo and it's caused them to barely be able to reproduce.

Obviously, duh. The pandas are the ones running the simulation

[–] 5ibelius9insterberg@feddit.org 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yep, guess who is piloting the „birds“…

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 3 points 1 month ago

Those are just the Flock cameras everybody's been talking about.

They actually debunked the simulation hypothesis recently

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

If you mean the paper saying it can't be a simulation because the universe has true randomness, which can't be created in software: we ourselves do in fact have true randomness in software, by capturing it from the environment via hardware sensors for fluctuations in temperature and such.

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Do you have a source for this claim?

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

For what claim?

If you mean the fact that we have true randomness, just read about how secure random number generators work, like urandom. It's not some industry secret, they're in every computer and likely every smartphone out there, and have been around for twenty years at least.

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That having true randomness in machines means the study is debunked?

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If we're talking about the same thing, then afaik their whole claim is that we aren't in a simulation, because we have true randomness which can't be created in software. But it's not necessary to create true randomness in software to have it in said software.

Although I haven't read the full paper, and am going off what people wrote about it in comments.

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If you haven't read it. Why should I trust your opinion?

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Then don't trust it, what the fuck is it to me.

I love this answer, it tells me a lot of positive things about you.

It also tells me that like me you are oh so weary.

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Btw, it's obvious from your questions that you haven't read the paper either, so this whole thread seems like pointless wankery.

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 month ago

I am also oh so weary

One of the issues of the simulation idea is that it is inherently impossible to prove or disprove. Because all the information we could have is a part of the simulation itself.

Even if there was some kind of glitch which got exposed and caused everyone to know we are in fact living in a simulation, the ones running the simulation could fix the glitch and then modify all our brains to not know it anymore, or roll back to an earlier restore point or something like that. It could even be that they have many simulations running, to study different forms of life for example. Inevitably some of the life in the simulation figures out their world isn't real, which then invalidates further data from that simulation, so it's turned off. Then by definition, if you are still alive you don't know you are in a simulation.

Whilst a cool idea to base a book or movie on, it isn't something to take seriously. It's a self-reinforcing idea with zero evidence and no way to test, prove or disprove.

The new RAM shortages confirms the simulation theory though. Think about it, we start building more and more datacenters => the real servers running the simulation saturate their memory and whoever’s running the simulation needs to upgrade their memory => simulation computing power is artificially capped for a few “years” (a few weeks in reality for the memory upgrade to be delivered and installed)

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I thought that was mice.

[–] HollowNaught@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago

Wait until this guy hears about koalas...

Bamboo-zled? But "Panda'd to" was right there!

wake up honey new conspiracy just dropped

IS IT FAKE????
