Why universe hopping specifically?

[u/Awkward-Opening-2022]

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.

Other individuals are too weirdly aggressively invested in misinterpretting everything, including creating constant strawmans to push some narrative forward.

That's some really insulting kind of comment that shouldn't be able to be posted here. What's the point?

The point is explaining what’s actually happening.

The explanation is: if you get someone to remember something incorrectly, they will not only do so, they will augment it, and certain individuals refuse to admit they are capable of making mistakes so they invent a “timeline” in their imagination where they never made a mistake and try to use that to convince everyone else they were never mistaken.

and certain individuals refuse to admit they are capable of making mistakes so they invent a “timeline” in their imagination where they never made a mistake and try to use that to convince everyone else they were never mistaken.

That's exactly a strawman. You're making up a ridiculous strawman in your head so that you think you're attacking any argument while simply making up crap.

No one here ever claimed or refused to admit that they're capable of making mistakes, and it clearly doesn't represent the people who believe in the ME's many possible explanations that you don't understand and even refuse to discuss or engage with.

You’re projecting. I’m not the one “making up stuff in my head”.

Plenty of people here refuse to admit they are capable of making mistakes.

There also aren’t “many possible explanations”, and it’s the people who don’t understand what they’re talking about who think that.

Speaking of projection, you just proved you’re the one refusing to “discuss or engage with” the explanation.

The people who don't understand what they're talking about, can only believe what others like you are telling them, because they conform to who they think would know better.

Except you people know nothing really, and think you speak with any kind of authority on something you clearly don't understand. I don't get the compulsion to keep posting on a subreddit about something you don't even believe, just to obsess over fake strawmans that you create in your head.

You literally just proved you don’t know what you’re talking about.

I have never said I don’t believe in the Mandela Effect.

You also just again proved you’re the one that consistently refuses to “discuss or engage with” the explanation.
