If you’ve ever caught yourself wondering whether we are living in a simulation, well, this selection of images might make you uneasy. Some glitches that happen in real life look straight out of a video game, a movie, or a bad render.
Many of these real-life phenomena resembling glitches can be easily explained, but it does raise some interesting questions about the nature of consciousness, perception, and reality itself. And even though we might never find out whether the simulation hypothesis is true or not, these images surely will get your brains bugged.
