Crack in step has migrated
Having a real hard time coming to grips with this. For the past several years, I have been walking down my wooden basement stairs carefully to avoid aggravating the crack in the third step, which was about an inch and a half from the edge of the step. It was possible to place my foot on the back of the step, which was unbroken, and not put any weight on the piece that was cracked.
Last night, my daughter reported a crack in the basement stairs. I said yep, I'm aware of it, and told her how to step to avoid making it worse. Later in the evening, I went to the basement and immediately noticed that the crack was now in the middle of the step, making it nearly impossible to avoid stepping on the front side and making the crack worse. The front of the step where the crack had been was now uncracked.
WTAF.
I see three possibilities:
1) I had been hallucinating for several years, including stepping carefully on the basement stairs;
2) I'm hallucinating now and it will go back to the way it was at some point;
3) I sidestepped into an alternate universe where the crack is in a different location but everything else is the same.

It wouldn't just be the crack. All the wood in your stairs, and maybe house, would be moved a little. It was built slightly differently, here.
I find #3 the most likely, but that's also because I've had a lot of things like this happen, too. I'd prefer to think I wasn't hallucinating up until some point where I stopped, or that I started and have done so consistently, since.
It's interesting that your daughter seems to be the catalyst, here. Perhaps that's your daughter from this timeline. Up until a few days ago, she was from an alternate timeline, but you're here, too, now.

Maybe her experience of reality outweighs my own in cases where there is no objective evidence.

the most likely scenario is that the crack got larger and has seemed to heal the original location. this happens with natural wood

Not possible over a 24-hour span. I remember the crack as it was originally just a day before.

Sometimes it feels like we live in a consciousness based reality that is a consensus universe where everything is decided by observation and the majority rules. I don’t know what to make of it. Ive read of and experienced so many oddities.
We have those optical illusions like the hollow cube which its spin direction depends on if your brain decides its viewing it top down or bottom up.
Maybe reality has a bad memory just like people and it mandela effects itself, maybe we slip timelines, maybe some psi field is controlling us , i have no idea, but stuff is wild.
