It's entirely possible. I might have grown up on another planet even.
I come from a planet called "Earth". This planet is nothing like Earth. I think I must have been transported here within the last 2-3 years. On my home planet they used to have this show called "The Twilight Zone" and this planet is a lot like that show!

When I was younger, we gave thanks before every meal?
But, then again, I am an Austr-alien.
And we have turkeys roaming around on the farm. Never seen one of 'em with a pop-up timer, though.
It's like an amusement park ride for the mind. Wheee!

This may actually be a great clue to the experience being a mutually shared simulation.
Now, that is a ridiculous notion. And if you can change just little things in the simalcra why not do small stuff like a candy bar or some famous person’s name, eh, Mother Theresa?
The reason is to keep the simulation from being accepted as “real”. And the how is probably as weird since I think it kind of like the hollow deck on Star Trek!! (Could not help myself!)
It is a light projection controlled by computers. The ME stuff is a rewrite of the projected past to try to wake us up in the simulation!!
At least that is my wrong guess!! (This is TEOT’s cosmology where a group of aliens found some tech from an ancient race of aliens that had a recorded history of how they made it through the tough times. The simulation is a replay of their history and we are stuck in believing it is real).
Ah, I have embraced being totally wrong!!

I can't say i've ever even seen a Turkey with a popup timer and i'm not even entirely sure what they are.
It's a little white plastic thingy embedded in the turkey breast that pops up when it's done.

A thread from 8 years ago. A lot of comments expressing surprise that Butterball never had popup timers.

And your post was very funny....no popup timers on live turkeys...wish I'd thought of it.
If you need any more proof that pop-up timers are bad, just know that Butterball turkey doesn’t use them, Consumer Reports doesn’t recommend them and food writers despise them.

Definitely not Mandela Effect or poor memory, someone at Butterball is full of it. I know damn well they used the pop-up timers in their birds, because Butterball was the only brand my brother & his wife, who traditionally hosted Thanksgiving every year until everyone moved away, would use -- they had/have a preference, and never used any other brand. I helped prep the damn things every year, my sister-in-law always removed it and used her own meat thermometer to check internal temperature because, and I quote, "Make sure there's no feather remnants in the skin, and take out that damn timer, Butterball's timer is sucky." We all know what the packaging looked like, it wasn't mistaking one brand for another.
