“Is it solipsistic in here, or is it just me?”
“Is it solipsistic in here, or is it just me?” is a jocular one-line saying that has been printed on many images. A “solipsism” means that only something in one’s own mind is sure to exist.
“Is it solipsistic in here, or is it just me?” has been cited in print since at least 2008, when it was printed on a T-shirt.
Wikipedia: Solipsism
Solipsism (/ˈsɒlᵻpsɪzəm/; from Latin solus, meaning ‘alone’, and ipse, meaning ‘self’ ) is the philosophical idea that only one’s own mind is sure to exist. As an epistemological position, solipsism holds that knowledge of anything outside one’s own mind is unsure; the external world and other minds cannot be known and might not exist outside the mind. As a metaphysical position, solipsism goes further to the conclusion that the world and other minds do not exist.

T ShirtThis is funny after you go to the dictionary and figure out what solipsistic means. Of course, I’ll let you in on the secret. It’s a disease one can catch from excessive flea bites. The crazy thing is you thought that was phlebitis, which is actually a type of insect genus, revered in organic vermiculture circles for being full of “good little critters” that kill “bad little critters.”

Is it solipsistic in here, or is it just me?
It’s funny because: In philosophy, solipsism is the idea that the only thing you can be sure exists is your own mind.
It’s on this list because: When it comes down to it, what can we really know about existence outside ourselves? Also, we’re probably living in a computer simulation.
