A reddit story on “Glitch in the matrix.” A redditor said he was waiting for his friend, who drives a blue peugeot, to come and collect him. He looked out the window and saw the blue peugeot. His friend, he believed, had arrived, so he went out to the car. When he got closer, he saw the driver of the car was morbidly obese. He’d last seen his friend a week ago and his friend hadn’t been fat then, but he just thought his friend must have had a rough week and was looking bloated. He got in the car, punched his friend in the gut, which was their usual greeting and looked at his face. Something seemed wrong, his friend looked different, but he couldn’t put his finger on what had changed. He and his friend sat there staring at each other for several minutes while the redditor tried to work out what seemed off. Eventually he realised this wasn’t his friend, it was just some random obese gentleman who had the same car as his friend. Without saying anything, the redditor got out of the car and went back into his house. His friend arrived to collect him soon afterwards. He said the universe had clearly created a close copy of his friend and it was probably because of Cern/the large hadron collider tearing holes in the fabric of reality.

Someone responded to the post, saying something like: So you saw someone with the same car as your friend but who was morbidly obese. Instead of realising this wasn’t your friend you just thought “My friend is looking bloated, must have been a rough week.” You then got into a complete stranger’s car, punched him in the gut and stared him down for several minutes before leaving without giving any explanation. And to top it off you think this happened because the large hadron collider is warping reality.
