The amount of gibberish in this reddit post is astounding.

The Mandela Effect is a psychological false memory effect. Memories are stored in neural networks and pathways in our brains. Physically. Molecules in your head are in different patterns if there is a different memory. For a multi-dimensional Mandela Effect to exist that would mean that extremely complex patterns in our head that store memory and association would have to change without causing other side-effects (like affecting other memories, distortion of related memories), but foremost this would mean that the molecular structure inside your brain would have to change and different/other/more/less (connections between) neurons would have to be formed.

Also it's not logical that a mirror/parallel universe would change in such a way that it would create false memories. If something like that were possible it would seem to me that it's more likely that you will retro-actively never know that things ever were different. It conflicts with multiple theories about how we know physics work; e.g. why would just one memory be different and not everything after this memory (as we know that a butterfly effect type of effect is real which would cause lots of other changes in the other reality as well), and how would a merging of two brains occur?

Many if not all of these weird theories are based around a belief that our brains have some extraordinary capabilities that go way beyond anything science can measure or explain, even though it's never been possible to prove any paranormal capabilities for any person. There's millions of dollars available for people who can prove that they're paranormal and no-one's ever claimed it. What we have seen is that there are all kinds of illusions and visions that you can have with and without drugs, and with and without mental problems.

If you want to research weird and unexplained phenomenon, the scientific method and finding solid proof that is significant, is the only way to go. Otherwise the risk of kidding yourself and finding stuff you want to find instead of stuff that's actually there, is very real.

Btw if we are in a simulation my bet would be on that we're in a physics engine that simulates (or in fact creates) our laws of physics that will eventually lead to evolution and then to you and me. This means we're simulated atom by atom and the entity/entities responsible for its creation are not in control of what happens; we are (also, we aren't, because this may mean that our universe is completely deterministic and though we have (free?) will that which will happen will always happen). This would explain why our universe seems so well fine-tuned for life, although we may be very biased to look at it that way because we're now here and not anywhere else. There would be no reason to put weird stuff on Saturn. Stuff for which there are good scientific explanations and even successful lab tests replicating it at scale.
