I don’t know dude. It sounds that this YTer is a bit angry about a possible explanation that sounds reasonable and has no proof to debunk it either.

has no proof to debunk it

Yeah, because you can’t prove a negative. He doesn’t need to debunk it, only to provide an alternative explanation which is more likely. Occam’s razor.

There’s inifinite examples of when occams razor doesn’t hold up though. It’s a useful tool, but by no means an end all be all.

So was it a cart slap? No. Was the device and or cart faulty? No. Was the constructions nearby the cause? No.

We only know that something flipped the bit. So why not spice this freak accident up by saying that cosmic rays were the culprit?

I would be angry too if I have already done lots of research trying to figure this out and the top videos and articles talking about it all say the least likely thing is what actually happened.

Could be a neutrino strike.

(Or it could be an N64 memory expansion pack being flaky because damn they were flaky. It doesn’t matter that your game isn’t actually using the extended memory, it’s still shitting all over the RAMBUS).

And then Nintendo Ninjas break into his house for playing on an emulator.

Nope, he’s playing with original hardware, the screen shot is a reference to what was a speed running bounty. There was a streamer playing that part of Super Mario 64 and he glitched straight up, if it could be repeated it would be a great time save for speed running. After years of investigation the community decided that it was caused by a bit flip probably caused by cosmic radiation. You can’t get that bit flip on an emulator.

Hey so the cosmic ray thing was a really popular meme but the glitch was probably just a crooked cartidge. It’s funny to imagine a cosmic ray doing this but the odds are so low as to be functionally impossible, and this kind of glitch can happen with dirty or loose connections.

Despite the common assumption that most of these types of people are living at home with Mommy and Daddy I’ve known several programmers or coders who work from home and basically live like this.

They only really leave the house for groceries or shit like that. Honestly outside of the hygiene aspects I’d kill to rarely need to leave my home.
