T-Rex: There's a chance our world could be a simulation! The argument is, once computers can run universe simulations it makes sense there'd be more than one, so the odds that we'd be in the only REAL universe are kinda crappy.
T-Rex: Hah hah hah OH WELL!
T-Rex: But let's imagine someone advanced enough that they COULD run a CompuEarth full of new VirtuaPeeps to see what comes out the other side! Why would they do such a thing?
Dromiceiomimus: To learn more about themselves?
T-Rex: Pfft, BORING. The REAL use is to run the simulation FASTER than the real time, and then extract inventions from it!
Utahraptor: Have them figure out hoverboards, then full-on steal their IP?
T-Rex: Exactly!
T-Rex: And not just science: the arts too! A whole virtual world producing art, and it's all NEW: an endlessly refreshing supply of new #content. Friend, there's a non-zero chance that every life in our universe has a PURPOSE, and that purpose is not to love yourself, or each other, or to explore the cosmos...
T-Rex: ...but simply to research hoverboards, and if you can't do that, then at least produce as many Star Wars spinoff films as you can.
Off panel: But I don't do either of those things.
T-Rex: Hah hah hah
T-Rex: YEP
