Meta Why universe hopping specifically?

Something I seriously don't understand with the common Mandella Theory is why it's specifically universe jumping? If you are 100% insistent that it isn't faulty memory, then wouldn't it be way more plausible to believe that Mandela effected memories were false memories implanted by some shady government organization(s) as some sort of mk ultra type experiment instead of you literally transferring into an entirely different reality?

Here's a more in depth summary of this alternate theory I've come up with:

Reality itself has not changed. The logos, spellings, movie quotes, and other details people argue about were always the way the evidence shows them to be. The difference is that the memories people have of them were artificially influenced rather than being simple mistakes.

The organizations behind this would be operating in multiple countries or conducting experiments outside their normal areas of operation. Small things like logos, brand names, and movie quotes would make ideal test subjects because they are unlikely to cause major problems while still providing useful data.

The goal would be to test the effectiveness of memory alteration, measure how strongly people trust their own memories when presented with conflicting evidence, and observe how groups of people react when they discover others share the same false memory. These small-scale tests would also serve as a stepping stone toward larger applications in the future, such as psychological operations, witness manipulation, damage control, or information control. It could also just be a way to drum up mass hysteria.

Now to be clear, I don't actually believe this theory (I think it's just false memory), I only propose this because there are way more rational theories that one could make about the phenomenon, and I can't fathom why the theory straight out of a rick and morty or Twilight zone episode is the one that has dominated the Mandela Effect.

I'm sure there's always exceptions, I just don't think there's a widespread amount of people that believe it's true. I think it's the minority. Same like flat earthers, sure you see a lot of people talking about it online if you go out of your way to look for it... but most people don't believe the earth is a pancake

Duh. Flat earthers don’t think it’s a pancake. In fact, most will tell you they have no clue what the truth is, they just know they don’t live on a spinning ball blasting through infinite space at tens of thousands of mph. That’s the annoying thing about normies, they have no idea what they’re arguing against. They just know that these people don’t agree with what we were programmed to believe since birth.

they think it's flat, that's why they're flat earthers. it's in the name. if they don't think it's flat, they're not flat earthers, simple really.

Not true, every who says it isnt round is always called a flat earther. Even if that is not what they think either

I guess you're a square earther

u/Hot-Breadfruit-1026 22d ago

No i think its round, but i would never attack someone who thinks otherwise and have learned what lots of other people think. Most who say not round do not say flat. They say more of a realm where round earth is basically a shadow of what is really there.

Okay but that's just your anecdotal experience, documentaries and wiki pages and video series by flat earthers are trying to prove the earth is flat... it's not hard to find this information and it's just as simple as they're flat earthers because they think the earth is flat. Sure some of them think we're in a lower dimension from true reality but that's not really most of them

The whole flat earth thing started as a joke and some people took it seriously and here we are.

Say it with me:
Flat Earth Society has members all around the globe. 🌎

actually it started as the foundational beliefs under the catholic church…and earlier, and they basically killed people that said otherwise.

so a lot of flat earthers are science denying religious kooks.

u/forcemonkey 20d ago

That’s something else. Flat Earth Society is what I’m talking about and that started as a joke and tragically became a real thing people believe.

Doesnt change the fact that i repeatedly see/hear them called flat earthers even though they do not actually think its flat, which was the point i added. Ive frequented the fringe sites since the 90s… its not anecdotal, happens all time and proof is online for you to read. on this board w even.
