I get what a simulation is, at least in the very literal sense. What I’m experiencing feels like reality, it would have to, it’s all any of us have ever known. But what would it mean for us if we truly lived in a simulation? Can it just be turned off and we cease to exist? If we found out we did live in one, how could it change our reality? How do we even hypothesize such a thing? I have zero background in physics just so we’re at an understanding of my physics understanding.

It means that your consciousness is a computation. It’s as if you are playing a hyper-advanced version of minecraft, and your consciousness is entirely inside a computer of some sort.
One property of a simulation is that if it was turned off for eons, then switched back on, you would not know anything had happened.
