I want to know who named this place.

All the other planets get cool names like Jupiter and Neptune and even Uranus.

But the one we actually live on is the most boring name. Earth. Really?

What if the earth was lodged into a Giant’s balls and the giant is about to nut and send us into a deep black hole ?

It would be stranger if we were just in space, floating around in the middle of nowhere.

Puff, puff, give, mofo.

Well if I had to rate our solar system, I’d only give it one star.

In addition we're out in the middle of nowhere and completely helpless.

We are less than an atom on the arse of the universe.

It could!

If you look closely enough, at the very smallest scale, things appear... computable. Relatively few basic particles that behave in particular ways. "Strange" behavior at that scale, too. Particles disappear and reappear in another place rather than moving smoothly, as if the world is advanced frame by frame.

Why can nothing move faster than light? Maybe that would exceed the processing power of the machine we are being simulated in.

True, and the place where you were in space when you started reading this sentence from where you'll be when you finish reading it is approximately the 1200 miles away, due to Earth and the entire solar system moving through space at a rate of about 140 miles per second.

It's not the speed of light. It's the speed of causality. It just happens that light (and any particle with zero rest mass) must move at the speed of causality for the universe to function in a manner where cause always precedes effect, no matter what your frame of reference.

Do you even Einstein, bro?

That's a whole lot of words to say "we don't know".

Sounds to me like the beta version had some lag issues, so they had to put in this artificial limit so things happened in the right order for everyone.
