What is “real”? How do you define real? Real is just electrical signals interpreted by your brain.

Post-modernist nonsense aside, false. Your presence or lack of doesn't change reality. The limitations of your senses doesn't effect reality. Therefore, reality is not limited to your electrical impulses.

The sun still exists even if you're blind, you just can't see it. The sun will still exist if you die tomorrow, you just won't be around to perceive it.
@Sicarium so you wouldn’t believe in solipsism then

@Temporallube Solipsism even more ridiculous, to the point of being one of the first signs of Idiocracy.
@Sicarium My vote for best Answer!!!!

I seriously have trouble believing what is real or what is a fiction of my imagination. Hopes are a fiction, love is a fiction, happiness is a fiction, the pain is surely real, the agony is real and the suppression is real.

The mind tricks us to believe in what's real and what's not. We tend to make ourselves believe in things that aren't real in the first place ignoring the realities in life.
@Beatbox34 do you believe in Solipsism?

People who suffer from hallucinations might disagree with you.

Real is when someone kicks you in the balls, you double over and vomit.

Run into a wall headfirst then tell me if it's real.
@SW-User Yes. That will definitely prevent you from occupying the same space as the wall. lol

@Temporallube Got to feel it first though.
@canusernamebemyusername good point. Technically everything sort of “hovers” between objects, but we still perceive it as “touch”.

There are some things that just are. They cannot be seen any other way. Those I call hard factual realities.
And there are those realities we concoct by our perceptions and by what we are being made aware of in any moment in time.
The subjective ones that can be seen in different angles.
@SW-User interesting
