An easy way of proving we are in a simulation is to glance quickly and
unexpectedly at your wristwatch. Often you can catch the second hand not
moving for at least 1.5 seconds. It's rather obvious it's not moving
when you aren't looking at it. Works with digital watches as well, but
usually more noticeable with analog watches. Try it.
