  there are no registry of panda before the 1800

  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mo_(Chinese_zoology)

  Why do they lie about facts that are so easy to disprove?

    I mean, it’s 4chan. It says (or at least it used to) say that only a fool would take its stories as real right on the webpage

      It’s greentext so the pandas are fake and gay, that’s why they need to be artificially inseminated.

    First mention by hhhhwhite people was in 1869, apparently. But mentioned in chinese texts as early as like 2000 years ago

    I just gave a brisk read through that article, btw your link is slightly off, and it doesn't seem to disprove the point much at all. What few historical Mo panda are referenced were called giant iron eating beasts in mythical tales, no artistic depictions, and most of the citations are improper/broken. One of them mentions Bencao Gangmu, a sort of catalogue of plants and animals with pictures, claims Mo panda being between Leopards and Elephants but a quick search did not reveal any such images unto me.

    Honestly, I'm convinced. Pandas are just painted or modified brown bears.

      …citations… to books… not broken links lol.

  Bamboo-zled? But “Panda’d to” was right there!

  I always heard they were larger and ate a specific diet of plants that are now extinct, and so have adapted to only eating low nutrition bamboo and it’s caused them to barely be able to reproduce.

  Obviously, duh. The pandas are the ones running the simulation

      No we didn’t. That was an illusion.

      If you mean the one saying it can’t be a simulation because the universe has true randomness, which can’t be created in software: we ourselves do in fact have true randomness in software, by capturing it from the environment via hardware sensors for fluctuations in temperature and such.

      One of the issues of the simulation idea is that it is inherently impossible to prove or disprove. Because all the information we could have is a part of the simulation itself.

      Even if there was some kind of glitch which got exposed and caused everyone to know we are in fact living in a simulation, the ones running the simulation could fix the glitch and then modify all our brains to not know it anymore, or roll back to an earlier restore point or something like that. It could even be that they have many simulations running, to study different forms of life for example. Inevitably some of the life in the simulation figures out their world isn’t real, which then invalidates further data from that simulation, so it’s turned off. Then by definition, if you are still alive you don’t know you are in a simulation.

      Whilst a cool idea to base a book or movie on, it isn’t something to take seriously. It’s a self-reinforcing idea with zero evidence and no way to test, prove or disprove.
