The Mandela Effect

[UltraBudgie]

I think I’ve jumped multiple timelines over my lifetime. 

There seem to be two competing ideas with the Mandela Effect, beyond the simple "false memory", "mass formation effect", and "100th money syndrome" explanations. First, of individual jumping between timelines in a multiverse, and second, of "retconning", or retroactively making things consistent on one timeline, with some residual memory but no public proof. Are these all sides of the same effect? Are we looking at the problem correctly? These are things I think about as I finish my second cup of coffee. Have a nice day.
