I swapped universes and now live in the one where the clerk who recorded their family name in English when they emigrated to the US decided on A instead of E, where I come from.
[My great-grandparents] were Ukrainian Jews who emigrated [to the U.S.] in the late 19th century, fleeing the pogroms and persecution of Jews in Ukraine at that time. And they pronounced the name with a Slavic-coloured pronunciation. They pronounced it something like “Ber’nsheytn.” The family tradition was simply that [Berenstain] was an attempt to phonetically spell that particular pronunciation of the name.
Well, actually the earliest I know about it is in my mother and father’s autobiography where my dad wrote a section about when he was in elementary school. His elementary school teacher said that his name was spelled incorrectly and that she was changing it to “Berenstein,” and that she wouldn’t recognize the spelling of his name in her class because there was no such name.

Pretty arrogant, actually, to think otherwise.
hmmm... kinda funny remark coming from you.
I'm from this Universe. I do not trust my own memory to have any reason to think otherwise.

What's more logical: That your memory is faulty (just like everyone's is), or that you're from a parallel universe, and somehow ended up replacing the you from this universe...

I find it ironic that you mention scientific literacy and godliness in the same breath as virtues, when they are in fact antitheses to each other.

Mandela is a real effect but what it is IDK.
Mandolia (man-DOH-lee-a) is a psychological phenomenon involving a stimulus wherin the mind assumes an error where none exists. This results in the mind correcting this "error" and adapting memories to accommodate the unwarranted correction.
Stay away from silly fantasies and pay more attention to the actual fantasy of strings.

You don't know it all know one does...
I know that it's silly to attribute flaws in memory to crossing timelines, or universes.

Mandolia doesn't explain a thing it just states that people are 'bonkers' in an eufemistic way.

What if we live in a simulation ? Can you disprove that I don't think so.
It explains why everyone has similar recollection which I think is the most interesting thing about the Mandela Effect.
However until we actually get there it's just a bunch of stoners saying "wouldn't it be cool if.....".
