Can anyone give me the command to increase my penis size

Either way, we're still essentially programs. Existing as data on a brain isn't all that different as data on a computer.

There's your problem.
Maybe hitler was using apt to get rid of the jews all along
Looks like he forgot to sudo.
This really has no affect on my life view, while I do not follow a specific religious text or teaching, I already believed in a higher power or creator. Why should I care if said creator is a programer?

May the great programmer help us when that day comes.
Whoever designed it should of left us in the medieval age and with actual dragons.

I personally believe that if there is a "God" they/it is an observer and does not interfere directly with the universe after its initial creation, much like a scientist might do with a running simulation. I dont think it would be an interactive game.

So are you saying that the giant hand from the sky that tried to poke me was a hallucination from the drugs I took?

But computers can't have conscious thoughts. They're just a bunch of 1's and 0's.
If we're just simulations, why do we posess these things?

Don't worry theres DLC for that.
[QUOTE=lulzlalz;38000901]Quick! Someone read Vivec's 36 sermons for clues on how to acquire CHIM![/QUOTE]
Chim wasn't a computer simulation, the Elder scrolls takes place in the dreaming mind of an elder god. Do you even lore?

Its a damn good sim
[quote]Physicists say they may have evidence that the universe is a computer simulation.
How? They made a computer simulation of the universe. And it looks sort of like us.[/quote]
i created a simulation of an apple therefore apples are computer simulated
God's computer must have a sick graphics card.

Or quad-SLI NVIDIA 2090s?
to the question about how do we have consciences. Well, if a race is advanced enough to give us this universe then how is it too far fetched for them to make ai for everyone.

Technically only one person would need to be conscious, or at least believe they are conscious and the rest only have to be sufficiently complex enough to appear so.
