The universe spontaneously popped into exitence in the current state it's in when you're reading this, the only things that exist are what's in your line of sight, all the memories are made up, and it'll shortly pop back out of existence only to return a few billion years or femtoseconds later with a new line of sight and memories, along with something to let you know what's really happening but with enough plausible deniability that you'll laugh and try to move on before popping back out of existence.

This is your eternal punishment for something you can't even remember, or can't verify even if you do remember.

How would you even know this? you might wonder with a hint of uncertain dread, but the truth is I don't know anything because I don't even exist. It's all you: punisher, punishee, neutral observer, entertained by this meaningless repetition that bored you out of your mind lol.

Or shall we let this one play out a bit longer?
