[ WP ] Humanity realizes the Universe is actually a simulation so out of spite it decides to concentrate its effort on messing with the civilization that does the simulation

It worked! Just in time to save a plane too! According to these tests we got another boost in processing speed allocated so we're good for the next billion people, that should last us awhile. 
 
 Hearing this made Obama smile. He had n't really done much big headline stuff for awhile, just some typical president stuff, but that was because he was a little preoccupied keeping this project on track. Not too long before campaigning for the next election started he was alerted to some interesting experiments and calculations. These experiments showed that our world was n't just probably just a simulation, but a simulation nearing the end of its use. We were near our peak processing power ( with planes disappearing to fix lag ) logical solutions and peace were becoming more feasible and more common, and the undesirable outcomes were becoming more predictable. It was theorized that since simulations are normally used to see possibilities when the outcome is n't clear, we would soon be of no use. 
 
 So now we had become more interesting. America has a socialist, a woman with current inditement issues, and as thinly veiled racist as it gets as their only viable candidates. ISIS, an undeniably evil group was wreaking havoc on the Middle East which although at a snails pace had been improving before. The Panama papers had been leaked resulting in some political turmoil. Fact had truly became stranger than fiction, so we had just received a boost in processing. 
 
 The biggest concern with all this was how long we can keep this up. It's very possible they knew about all this. Maybe they are just checking the major events and our knowledge of the simulation is unnoticed. It's more likely though that we're interesting because we figured it out and made moves to extend our simulation, or just that what we've come up with to do so is entertaining. Either way, how long can we create chaos for the sake of possibilities without destroying ourselves?
