    wow I super do not understand all the down votes on this, it seems like a pretty cut and dry joke about the TV show Friends and the philosphical theory of Solipsism, which seems like exactly the kind of funny thought that id have in a shower.

      Haters. If I worked on the phrasing I could make it more clear that I don’t subscribe to solipsism just the thought of it gives me peace. Also might get more upvotes if I chose a different subject rather than friends.

    Your reality exists only in your own mind. But things can exist outside of your reality and there could be things in your reality that don’t exist.

    Your thought experiment is as old as time. If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is around to hear it drop. Does it still make a sound? And yes it does, physicians proved that last year. So “not real” is probably a question of how you define that.

    Get out, touch some grass and meet some people.I would wager that’s where there pepper is buried.

      Physicians are medical doctors. You probably meant physicists.

      Also, what study are you referring to? It’s kind of a strange metaphysical question, as observing it is the point of contention. How did they observe it and have that not break the question?

          Autocorrect wouldn’t catch this, because physician is a word.

          Study?

          Edit. Ahh I see you referred to the “pepper” above. Where you said to go outside and touch grass. Classy.
