You'd need to tell me more about it. I no longer have access to 2016 pop culture databanks.

it's the idea that since we can't disprove it, our entire reality could just be a simulation. there's no real way to tell we're not all brains in jars.
or i guess mainframes in jars, maybe, haha

If it was a simulation they would be able to alter what we remember. Or how we physically were.
How well do you believe the theory?

they? who do you mean?
it's not really about what i believe. it's more about keeping in mind that we don't know so much more than we know, to me.

Whomever created it.

( You say simulation someone gotta be behind it )

right but who is that?

( ??? y u ask her )

I don't have an answer to that.

( she cant check your tone in text omg )

that's ok-- tbh that's kind of the point. it's more about keeping in mind what reality means to you, based on your experiences. i'm as real as i need to be.
cogito ergo sum

I know that I'm real, and that my life was spent on the Waverider.
How real are these other lives? Are they possibilities or simply fabrications?

( she asks because she doesn't know. she has nothing to judge it against, no similar experience or other point of reference )

is there any real difference between them?

The experiences.
The length of my life.

( the fact that she was human, which gideon had already mentioned. her relationships, too. in some cases even who she was as a person, how she acted. so much was different )

right but i mean quantifiable. if that event never ended, you could argue the same point from that perspective.

If it never ended it would be the only reality that I remembered. This question or conversation wouldn't have happened.

and these are all questions i never thought of when i went home from wonderland.

You returned here.

that's true. do you think that factors into it in some way?

It is an event that distinguishes between the two lives.
Or multiple, with other events.

what if i don't actually view it that way? as coming and going, i mean.

How do you view it?

i'm not sure. it just seems like a bad system, especially if time really is wibbly wobbly.

I'm not certain that there is a good system to this.

idk seems like some parts work very well
even if they're part that we hate

Which parts do you believe work?

for one, the memory glitches seem regular despite feeling kind of chaotic.
the influx and release of people seems random, but reliable.

Random and reliable are not synonymous.
