I kill you.

At that point, if I keep existing and you stop thinking, then I have proved my existence.
But you wouldn't actually be proving anything to him by killing him. Even if you're still alive after he's dead, according to everything he knows, you died with him because he now has no way of confirming whether or not you're still alive. All you've done is prove to an disinterested third party that you're not a figment of his imagination.

OT:In the end, does it really matter if we truly exist or not? I know I'm having fun so if everything around me is just a figment of my imagination, what should I care?

You address us and we respond. Were we figments of your imagination, surely we would have retreated and left everything in this thread unsaid, right?
Seriously though, I have no idea how that is even remotely possible, especially on the internet.

I have decided you are all fragments of my imagination. Prove to me that you aren't. Prove to me you exist. I am easily persuaded .

(i am not looking for pictures ,names , numbers or anything of the like. How does one prove their existance or the existance of others?)
I know I exist. Why don't you prove yours?

all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. we are all of one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. there's no such thing as death, life is a dream, and we're just an imagination of ourselves....and here's tom with the weather

You on the other hand are a bot.
Rene Descartes goes into a bar and sits down. The bartender asks him if he would like a drink to which he replies "I think not" and disappears.

... oh damnit, ninja'd! I was gonna post that.

Anyway. I already proved my existence to all of you. I did it on every page. Twice. Didn't you see it?

I can't. You can't prove you exist, I can't prove I exist, not even to myself. The only proof of existence I have is, I think therefore I am, yet someone times I doubt it.

Well if you are looking for proof of your own existence then you could always go with "I think therefore I am" but if its proof of the existence of everyone else then you are out of luck. After all if we are just figments of your imagination then everything we do or say to prove we aren't is just your imaginings of us trying to prove we aren't. Or maybe Berkeley was right and we are all just perception that God has given you and not actually real people as you would define them. Of course even if I am a figment of your imagination doesn't keep me from existing. Having said all that, though, the unfortunate reality is that you are the figment of my imagination and that I merely imagined you thinking you imagined me to make things more interesting and find a use for my time by posting this.
