Are We Sims?

Are we sims? A very good question indeed. And do we know? Of course not. I mean, sure, we don't have a plumbob above our heads like the sims, but we do share some characteristics.
There are reasons to believe both sides, actually. Have you ever walked into a room and realized you have no idea what you're doing there? Couldn't that just be "the watcher" cancelling the interaction? Don't you sometimes come back from work/school and are angry from having a bad day? Don't you ever go over to the computer to play a video game and suddenly not want to when you arrive? These all could be us being controlled. Let me know what you think in the comments, and be sure to add on whether you believe the same as me (we are sims) or different and why! Also, if you actually read the whole thing, comment "potato" to let me know! Thanks, and I hope you are going to think about this possibility!

I find it to be a very interesting and existential quandary. Good job.
I foresee this being closed even though you said that it wasn't religious.
Have you ever tried to get to a certain place but couldn't - a routing issue, maybe?
Am I too lost?
Edit: I removed the part that could be taken as religious, thanks for bringing it up that it could get closed @5782341b77vl

Nothing else to say on my part. I’m no good at debating existential questions
Edit: spelling

Unless someone experienced something close to gaining lots of money from nowhere, to entirely forget what you were doing and be "teleported" away from what you were doing.
You play Sims Medieval and watch old Twilight Zones, right?

I too, sell my bed when I can't afford pizza.

Always happens to me when I'm standing in front of the fridge...and forget why I have the door open. It's either old age or someone cancelled my action.
Always "River McIrish" ...and maybe some Bebe Hart. ~innocent expression~
sorry but why did you say french fries ?
Another strange thing I realized... when my grandma turned into an elder, she didn't immediately get gray hair! Haha!

My husband once told me about a conspiration theory where we, humans on our planet, are supposed to live in a simulation game. He doesn't really remember much about that theory anymore. We can't still explain a lot of stuff... such as what is happenning and why... if you know what I mean. So this would be an interesting explanation right? I think it is pretty interesting though I do not believe this is true. It might be though. I am open to literally anything. I recommend you to read a book called Under the Dome from Stephen King, if you haven't already.
I forgot the potato thing.

Potato.
I love the simulation theory! The more you think about it, the less crazy it seems, lol. I know that as Simburian said, folks at Oxford have 'disproved' the theory, but they're basing their conclusion on current technology and an assumption that the universe actually operates the way they think it does. Like, our sims believe that they can get a skill they need to get a promotion by, say, talking into the mirror or repairing the toilet, etc. That's how their universe operates, but it doesn't work quite that way in 'real life'. I have a feeling we don't really know much about how the universe works at all. Even the most brilliant scientific mind gets stuck at some point - like at, 'where did the particles that caused the Big Bang come from?'
Hey, Neil deGrasse Tyson thinks it's 'very likely'. Good enough for me!
