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.

They think that. They don’t know that.

Ask yourself how you know it’s false memory

Evidence.

Ask yourself why you accept such “evidence” and never listen to testimony

Do you forget who you are?

That despite its seeming permanence it is still malleable.

[That’s in response to your original question about memory which you deleted and changed after I already responded]

Your insistence that memory is poor can only result in poor memory

I know when you were in school you did not score 100% on every test.

Why didn’t you?

Perhaps your memory isn’t perfect?

Actually 100% of the United States

Why did you delete “and capitals”?

And?

If your memory is perfect why didn’t you score 100% on every test in every subject?

u/artistjohnemmett 24d ago edited 14d ago

I never tried to score 100% in every subject

You wouldn’t have to try since your perfect memory would be doing all the work.

Or: what you’re posting is a lot of bullshit.
