If we live in the simulation, the admin is probably playing as one of us

Let me ask one question: If you had your own world at your disposal to play with it like a god, would you stay aside for eternity, or would you jump in to stir some shit up? When I play SimCity, or Worldbox, or other sandbox, I always get bored and start dropping all sorts of calamities. I'm telling you, he's either going full VR as Donald Trump or maybe Mark Zuckerberg, or he opens dev console and makes plague with transmissibility set to 9999. Except he'd never called it COVID. More like 'Rectal_Intruder_6969'.

What if god was one of us? Just a slob like one of us? Drove a tie-dye microbus?

Playing as a character is probably the point of the simulation, significant cheat codes quickly become boring so they likely would be living as an ordinary person and so difficult to distinguish. Their knowledge and skill set might even be limited to simulation appropriate levels. The scale of the simulation is important too, if it is not limited to just the Earth but simulates the entire galaxy or universe then it is likely we are too mundane of a locality to be visited and are actually just living our lives as background scenery. Or perhaps most of our history and evolution was ticked away theoretically and we are only actually simulated when we are visited. It is hard to believe dinosaurs lived 365 days a year, all that time on their hands, all those long summer afternoons to idle through.

Sounds like Last Thursdayism

God being "god" with all that omni- stuff, I don't know, probably doesn't give a shit and spends all day depressed, staring at a model train set. Certainly if there are rules to this, nothing about it's been relayed down to me.

I'd guess it probably got bored of being all powerful in some early playthroughs and now role play on hard mode for the challenge

Maybe we are the equivalent of an aquarium screensaver.

If we live in a simulation the admin is probably trying to make his penis reach his own butthole unsuccessfully but he keeps trying.
