If two players resign at the same time, what happens?

What about double forfeiture when both players refuse to show up at the table so that the clock doesn't start?

According to the FIDE laws both players win.

If one resigns seconds before the other the second player wins because his resignation doesn't occur during the game, which terminates on the first players resignation.

What's the worst that can happen? You may be confused when you click the L button and get a W, lol.

But if it reaches the server at the same time, it will depend on how the server is coded

in this case, loses is more accurate grin

If both players are so bad that they both think they're losing, they each deserve a 0.

No. It saves time if you want to agree a draw and the tournament says you need to have played a certain number of moves.

If they both did it at the exact same time, then the one with faster server connection speed will resign first.

If they hits the server both at the exact same time, it will probably crash.

It's baby's first words. They don't have to make sense.

Programmers try to account for all the "edge" cases... so more literally, when the server receives a command to resign a game that's already finished, then it knows to ignore it. This probably happens all the time, for example, when someone makes a move with no time on their clock.

OTB, the result is whatever the tournament director says it is, after taking all circumstances into account.
If I were directing, I would rule it a draw. And neither of the players should have any room to complain about that result!
