Overlords Apologize, Will Reset Simulation to 2015
Overview
A meme formatted as a news article featuring a headline 'Overlords Apologize, Will Reset Simulation to 2015'. Below the headline is a manipulated image of a lizard's head photoshopped onto a human body dressed in a formal suit, seated at a desk with a microphone, suggesting a press conference or official announcement. The subtext reads: 'We just wanted to see what you would do,' explains spokesman. The meme humorously combines conspiracy theory tropes about 'lizard people' controlling world events with the 'simulation hypothesis' (the idea reality is a computer simulation), presenting a fictional scenario where these 'overlords' admit to experimenting on humanity and plan to reset the simulation to 2015.
Origin notes
This meme is likely a remix of a real photograph of a formal event (possibly a government hearing or press conference) altered by replacing the subject's head with a lizard's head using image editing software like Photoshop. It draws from internet conspiracy theory culture, particularly the 'lizard people' myth and simulation theory jokes, common in meme communities on platforms like Reddit, Twitter/X, or 4chan. No visible watermarks or author credits are present.
