If we're living in a simulation, what's something you can do to create a "glitch in the matrix"?

Something like infinite loops by projecting mirrors at each others..

Choose a place you'd never go. Try to get there. Don’t follow any road signs and don’t stop for anything, not even barricades.

Do nothing and stop engaging with everything. If it's a game like simulation, they'll try to get you to participate and play somehow.

You need enough people to start doing something that the simulation can't cope with. Be the change you want to see in the matrix. Cook an entire lasagna and dump it into your underpants.

If you create more simultaneous activity than the processing power can handle it might overwhelm the system and create stuttering, etc. But I feel like we're doing a ton already, maybe creating an award for commercials specifically about apples might be the straw that breaks the camel's back?

The question is, would we even notice the stuttering? Our minds would be part of the simulation too. Maybe the simulation already stutters a ton for an outside observer.

Attempt to break the simulation. Do something crazy / unexpected that someone hasn't done before, and continue to do those things.
