Our world would seem mundane to us no matter what was in it. Maybe it’s actually wildly unrealistic that many people keep cats as pets. Maybe dandelions are some kind of Easter egg. Maybe our so-called natural languages are ludicrously simple and regular compared to the monstrosities real people with real history speak.
I disagree, I think that our world is objectively simple in that everything is apparently consistent with a simple set of physical laws and initial conditions. Simulators wouldn’t need to be constrained in this way(and could access a lot of fun possibilities by not being so constrained)
We’re here to test the so-called tower of babel theory. What if, due to some bizarre happenstance, humanity had thousands of languages that change all the time instead of a single universal language like all known intelligent species?

I mean, sure, it looks like that when people who sound credible to you are checking.
A vast within-simulation conspiracy is possible, but it increases the complexity of the hypothesis.

“Oh, that? That’s just the big sign in the sky saying ‘you are in a simulation’ in Aramaic. Totally normal, don’t worry about it.”
