The above article gives lots of evidence to support the claim we are living in a simulation. I know this is usually considered hypothetical, but in the article they give physical explanations that fit topics discussed in this forum. Please read and give your opinion

Look at the date. It is an April Fool’s joke.

I hadn't noticed that, but I'm still not sure. They give some convincing arguments in my opinion

Only because you desire to be fooled on this specific topic. Scientific American has a long history of publishing April Fool’s joke pieces.

Idk, there's nothing stopping them from presenting something that's true of true adjacent as an "April fools joke".

Nothing stopping them, sure. But here on PF we hold a higher standard. We require that all posts be consistent with the professional scientific literature. Scientific American is a pop-sci source, not part of the professional literature.

If you wish to discuss this topic here you will need to get a real reference. Not a joke piece in the pop-sci literature.
