Theory of Personal Realities

The theory that everyone experiences reality through the lens of personal paradigms, personal opinions, political views, worldviews, and individual experience—that there is no unmediated access to reality, only reality-as-experienced-through-particular-perspectives. The Theory of Personal Realities doesn't deny that there is a world independent of our perceptions; it insists that our experience of that world is always shaped by who we are, where we stand, what we value. Two people can inhabit the same physical space and experience completely different realities because they bring different frameworks to the experiencing. Reality is one; personal realities are many.
Example: "They lived in the same house but experienced completely different realities. The Theory of Personal Realities explained why: he saw safety; she saw threat. He saw opportunity; she saw risk. Their frameworks shaped everything, made the same world into different worlds."

Argumentum Ad Realitatem

A form of Reality Bias where one invokes "reality" as a trump card, treating their position as simply how things are and any alternative as literally out of touch with reality. The fallacy lies in claiming direct access to the real while others are trapped in illusion, ideology, or wishful thinking—without demonstrating why one's own access is privileged. "You're not living in the real world" becomes a way of dismissing views one dislikes without engaging them. This fallacy allows the speaker to position themselves as the realist, the pragmatist, the one who sees things as they really are—while everyone else is merely dreaming.
Example: "He dismissed her policy proposals as 'not living in the real world'—never explaining why his preferred policies were any more realistic. Argumentum Ad Realitatem: using 'reality' as a cudgel rather than a standard."

Homigrad - Daniel’s Reality

A modpack for Gary’s Mod that centers around our undying allegiance to the Daniel of our universe. (Don’t forget the Garys. They’re equally important.) Here, followers of Daniel can roleplay, stim, and commit acts of domestic terrorism all while hanging with the bros during gaming nights in Brotopia.
Black Herobrine enjoyer: “Hey niggas do you like poop?”

Daniel/Guest 666 loyal: “Stfu you heathen. Go back to playing Grow a Garden, faggot. Real bros play Homigrad - Daniel’s Reality.”

amazon.com uses a long title for the meta quest 3 128gb base model.
this results in stuff like this:
person: *searches meta quest 3 on amazon*
amazon: are you interested in the Meta Quest 3 128GB— Breakthrough Mixed Reality Headset — Powerful Performance?
person: why couldn't you just say "meta quest 3 128gb"? isnt that a little extra?

The Hypothesis of the 11 Dimensions of Reality are a speculative, semi-cosmic framework that expands reality beyond the usual 3D + time setup and goes full multiverse mode. It starts grounded (length, width, depth, time) and then progressively spirals into probability, branching universes, meta-universes, and finally… absolute nothingness. Often used in sci-fi debates, metaphysical arguments, and by people who say “hear me out” before explaining existence itself.

Breakdown:
1–3. Length, Width, Depth – Regular space. You can bump into stuff here.
4. Time – The “you can’t go back but you wish you could” dimension.
5. Probability – Every “what could’ve happened” timeline.
6. Branching Universes – Same starting point, different choices, infinite regrets.
7. Different Start Universes – Same game, totally different character creation.
8. Universe Plane – The multiverse’s group chat.
9. Universe Hopping – Skipping realities without going step-by-step.
10. Infinite PossibilitiesLiterally everything that can exist, does.
11. Void of Possibilities – Beyond existence, beyond potential, beyond “bro.”
“Bro, in Dimension 6 of the Hypothesis of the 11 Dimensions of Reality there’s a universe where I passed that exam.”
“Yeah, but in Dimension 11 none of this even exists.”

And do the extent that we do it's heavily localized and uses the physical components that already exist and the theories we generate regarding how those components interact.
Hym "No we do not ✌️✊️✌️✊️create✌️✊️✌️✊️ reality you delusional fuck. We affect reality and YOU make up stories that aren't real to distort reality but that isn't what you are insinuating when you say we create reality. What you insinuating is that we somehow generate the broader non-localized reality through some nonsense. And that's fucking stupid."

The principle that reality operates in two modes: absolute reality (the way things are independent of any observer) and relative reality (the way things appear from particular perspectives). The law acknowledges that there is a real world out there—rocks, trees, stars—but that our access to it is always mediated through perception, language, and culture. Absolute reality is what exists whether or not we're here to observe it; relative reality is what we experience, given our particular equipment and location. The law of absolute and relative reality reconciles realism with constructivism, acknowledging both that the world is real and that our knowledge of it is constructed.
Law of Absolute and Relative Reality Example: "They debated whether race was real. Absolute reality: there's no biological basis for race categories; they're human constructions. Relative reality: race is profoundly real in its social effects—it shapes lives, opportunities, experiences. The law of absolute and relative reality said: biologically constructed (not absolute), socially real (very relative). Both were right, which is why the debate is so charged."
