You add water jugs to a 172 sim when you fly solo?
How and why do you think you need to?

I'm heavy and sitting on the left side. I want to put equal weight on the
right side.

Good idea, you have got me thinking now, I could just use balloons,
which will weigh nothing and fit easily into my flight bag, then I can
fill them with water when I get to the airport.

Balloons are more likely to rupture. *Flexible containers of some kind with
sturdier construction might work, and indeed they might be better than jugs
because they'd be less likely to roll around; you could just set them on the
floor and secure them slightly in some way and they'd be much more likely to
stay put.

Good point MX , another idea, I could get an inflatable copilot, like
in the Flying high movie, and fill this with water instead of air.
Then I could just buckle him in! and if I get thirsty I could
just.......no maybe not.... wonder if you can get girl inflatable
pilots?.

I don't see any clear advantage to humanoid ballast.

That's because you aren't human, moron.

And here I thought you had no sense of humor.

I'll say. I literally had a tear come from my eye, that was so funny.

The sad part is that after I posted that it occured to me he is probably
serious.

Definitely serious, that's what made it so funny.

MX, if you're still reading this and you want to know why this is so
funny, hit up youtube and look for "blanik skydiver" to see just how far
off center to the side a person's weight can get without screwing things
up.

Humanoids have several advantages:

1: They are self transporting and capable of strapping themselves in

2: If chosen correctly they are less likely to leak

3: If chosen correctly they are capable of cost sharing

4: They may be what some of us call "friends".

On a serious note, if weight and balance are not being compromised, an
empty seat is a lost opportunity to make a friend for general
aviation. In the entertainment business one 'papers the house' by
giving comps to mostly fill a venue, and we would do well to "paper
the airplane" when there's an opportunity to do so.

Well if you are that massive I suggest you flop your right butt cheek
to the other side. Should level up that sim a treat and ease the
farting problem. Hope this helps.
