It's almost certainly a simulation. If you live in apartments, how often have you seen your neighbors do laundry or bring home groceries? There's also this (short clip, start at 2:00).

The groceries thing is funny, but it's really just "what's the likelihood that in X years of living in the same place, your random 5 minutes out of the week are the same as your neighbor's random 5 minutes of the week".

If you live in apartments, how often have you seen your neighbors do laundry or bring home groceries? Reminds me a real story where a guy found a USB stick nearby a city building. It contained a shivering warning about your neighbors. The stick owner lived in that building and some day asked himself this question and tried to watch what his neighbors do routinely.

I once had my car towed by a person with the last name "Pullum". If the Universe really is some kind of Simulation, I suspect the QA's are getting lazy with the NPC names. Because that's EXACTLY how I name fake persons in unit tests. A police officer named Buddy Kopp, a traffic engineer named John Lane, a bbq pitmaster named Tray Burnham, etc.
Sadly I do not know if said med student became a pathologist ...
