I've already decided none of you can accurately answer this, but I'm asking anyway just for sport.

Perception is how you view reality. Reality exists without the need for your perception. Everyone perceives differently. Ask a schizophrenic and compare it to your perception.
You weren't supposed to give a serious answer right off the bat.
But since you've outlined it very well, I'll just wait for the Schizophrenics to chime in.
Reality exists because it is conscious. We share that consciousness and our own itty bit is what we perceive and gives us context in the greater reality.

If I say you’re a jackass, the reality is that I think you’re a jackass.
If I’m treating you a certain way and you take it that I must think you’re a jackass, then your perceptions is that I must think you’re a jackass (when in reality I’m still just upset about STG killing Sutliff).

Damn, you guys are already challenging my perception that you couldn't answer. I should have asked a much harder question, like something about types of tobacco.
“What Type of Adhesive to Use to Connect Perception to Reality?”
Insecurity blended with pride and ego, and action upon such.
You weren't supposed to answer a question with a question...but I'll take a wild guess and say common sense is the duct tape of reality.
Can you speak up, please? It's hard to hear you over all those other voices...
It's the Cavendish...does it every time.
If this was a philosophy board rather than a pipe smoking forum, I'd ask you to provide proof of that claim.
Reality is a constant like time. If time exists then the reality that was formed due to the passage of time exists. Your perception isn't relevant to the intrinsic nature of reality.If this was a philosophy board rather than a pipe smoking forum, I'd ask you to provide proof of that claim.
Reality, for all intensive purposes, is unknowable as it is measured and interpreted by perception - even our finest instruments only approximate an accurate measurement of whatever they are measuring. That stated, do not stand in front of a bus that is moving toward you and think that it will pass through you without you getting splattered.
I am not sure you can state that either are constant. That is an assumption.
No, reality is just an image that was placed in my mind a few nanoseconds ago, when my brain was created by a super-being that got bored while processing some cavendish.
