[ 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

'Were n't they supposed to have... I dunno, the shit *we* had in the 21st century?', she asked. This was all new to her, after all- the worldlab was a damn hard place to get a job, and he had only arrived a few weeks ago. 
 
'Mei please, you do n't I do n't appreciate my graduate assistants using that kind of language but... yes. The simulacra seem to have redirected huge amounts of energy and resources in completely unexpected ways. In theory, based on sheer biological imperative and the starting conditions of climate and resource scarcity, fusion power should have been developed decades ago.' 
 
 Normally, the lecture would have annoyed Mei, as they did everyone else. Professor Stu McIntosh aka'Stuck Up McImportantguy' ( shockingly, the worldsim engineers were a bit weak on their wordplay ) seemed to think everyone enjoyed his diatribes as much as he did. 
 
 This time, however, some nonsensical strings of words stood out as they spread throughout the virtual populace of world after world at an astonishing rate. 
 
'....base are belong....?' she muttered, half under her breath. 
 
'What was that Mei? Do n't mumble, and you know I'm not familiar with your modern slang vernacular?'. He spat the last 3 words, as if he sullied his dignity with their mere utterance. 
 
'No, Professor, it's just this... thing that keeps popping up. Waddup?' 
 
'Wad up *what* Mei? We do n't even use paper anymore. What are you even saying?' 
 
'It's um... well, I'm not sure what it is but there's a ludicrous amount of time and mental energy devoted to it in Worlds 1 through... uh, I guess all of them now. 14 seemed like it was clear until yesterday.' 
 
'Well, bring up the mental X^R graphs on all the simulacra, plot from 1980-2020....what the hell is that? Dat boi?' 
 
'I have no idea sir, let me try something else....oh shit!' 
 
'MEI, what did I say about language?' 
 
'Sir, no... I mean, look at the screen.' 
 
'... Oh shit? Dat boi? What is this nonsense?' 
 
'Well maybe if I-' 
 
 < yeeeeeeee > 
 
'What in god's name was that noise?' 
 
'Uh.....it seems like another example of these brain sinks that have been cropping up since...' 
 
'Since what?' 
 
'Do the words 4chan or moot mean anything to you?' 
 
'... Moot?' 
 
'Yeah, Moot, weird name right? Why are you saying it like that, what's a Moot?' 
 
'MOOT, IT'S ALWAYS FUCKING MOOT. I fired that cuntflapping assfountain scrotal wart TWO FUCKING YEARS AGO AND HIS FUCKING 4CH VIRUS IS STILL FUCKING MY SIMULATIONS' 
 
 Mei just stood, mouth agape.
