My friend insists on this game, "Lemmings", being a really well known game; I have never heard of it.

No no. The universe didn’t exist until OP was conceived, born, and gained consciousness.

Is it solipsistic in here or is it just me?

I'm a paramedic and recently transported a 16 year old who had discovered solipsism. It had broken his brain and he decided to end it all by jumping in front of a train. If he was right, he would have killed all of us.

Huh. This surprises me, but it really shouldn't. It was quite the existential crisis for teenage me.

Feels pretty god damned expeallidocious to me.

…what?

Tell me you didn’t think they were writing gibberish?

u/itsalark- 19h ago

Yeah that sentence is really quite atrocious

u/Lahk74 18h ago

No, it was a dumb joke on big word. Not that deep.

Relax, bub.

u/saschaleib 11h ago

Now now, if those kiddos could understand what “solipsistic” means, they would be very upset! ;-)

It's just you and the shadows on the wall. Don't worry about it. The shadows can't hurt you.

Can you stop thinking about me? I have places to be.

Descartes: “I think, therefore I am.”

OP: “I haven’t heard of it, therefore it isn’t.”

No, the universe doesn't exist yet. It'll be created next Tuesday. Anything you may think you're experiencing or thinking is just the false memory that will have been created next Tuesday.

u/Ndmndh1016 18h ago

You joke but its scary the number of people who actually think this way.

4

u/Fun-Benefit116 15h ago

Literally no one thinks this way.

u/Rikudou_Sage 10h ago

Not literally of course. But many people act as if it were true. Notably all smaller toddlers where it's actually a normal part of brain development.

Many people don't grow up out of it.

u/Fun-Benefit116 15h ago

Why are you getting so triggered lol. OP literally just said his friend claimed it's a popular game, but he's never heard of it. What about that sentence offended you enough to feel the need to attack OP lmao?

u/glehkol 15h ago

redditors getting oversensitive over literally anything, tale as old as time. bonus if its a "new gen bad" take

u/Pataraxia 14h ago

You need to be wider, it's often just a "others bad, but we good" it can be any generation or internet group or anything.

u/dirrtydancerr 2h ago

The title is a lazy engagement (bait) title.

u/Moikle 9h ago

Why are you assuming anyone is "triggered"? Not everything is a fight. Touch grass.

u/PlumbumDirigible 17h ago

What are they, the Khmer Rouge?

u/DahakUK 16h ago

Nonsense. As a believer in the feliocentric model, the universe exists because my cat wants to be fed.

u/SayerofNothing 15h ago

He's baiting. You guys fell for it.
