re: "The Mandela Effect" theory of alternate timeline

Which is more likely based on what you know about the world:
1.) 6+ billion people and a planet swapping/crossing a dimension?
2.) a lesser amount of people misremembering something from childhood?
3.) graphic artists being dumb/lazy after working on something for a short time?
I'm going to go with numbers 2 and 3 with none of number 1.
You are missing the point. I get it, it's a stretch. But ALL the people that worked on it got it wrong. Odds are out of the 23 people listing their resumes online that at least ONE would get it correct don't you think?
The point isn't Berenstain/Berenstein, that is just a product of the bigger picture. It's about alternate timelines. It does not have anything to do with 6 billion people crossing over at all. It's about alternate histories / something (CERN?) alternating tangible things and our memories being intact.

If you go along with this, what we know about the world isn't what we know about the world at all, which cancels out your points entirely anyway.

I could have swore I left my car keys on the kitchen table last night, I wake up this morning and they are on the counter.
Damn parallel universes..
How do I get to the one where I'm worth 100 million and dating a model?
I hope this gains ground, excuses will be a hell of a lot easier...
"Are those reports ready?"
"I did them but I can't find them, I must have switched universes and some lazy version of myself lucked out"

The entire theory either went over your head or you are trolling.
It has nothing to do with YOUR memory, it's the collective memory of the human race.

Don't you think it was the same for Santa Claus and Saint Nicholas? No alternate universe at work here.

I only glanced over the thread and you are right it probably went over my head.
My understanding of multiverse/parallel universe deals with the infinity and randomness replicating every scenario.
At first glance I assumed someone thought we were jumping around

Somehow, we have all undergone a p/2 phase change in all 4 dimensions so that we moved to the stAin hexadectant, while our counterparts moved to our hexadectant (stEin). They are standing around expressing their confusion about the “Berenstein Bears” and how they all remember “Berenstain Bears” on the covers growing up. Those who remember the name as “Berenstain” are native to this “A” Universe, while those who are sure it’s “Berenstein” traveled over from the “E” Universe.

It's Berenstein. That's what it is.
And, admit it, of there were time travelers, this would be the all time perfect way to use time travel. Subtle trolling.

What's the back story on this? Are there claims from the Berenstain family that the book was published with an A and some weird unexplainable shite is happening? Unless the family is saying that then it could be as simple as 1 or 2 people at the top of the production chain spelled it wrong in the first place and the rest of the team followed their lead and it's always been spelled wrong because of a simple error that was never corrected.

I always thought it was "Bearenstyne Bears"
I must have been on a whole different multiverse timeline of internuclear thermodynamics.

Not sure I just find it odd that out of 23 people, not one has corrected it after 30 years on their resume. Just seems odd to me.

So in the other dimension, are the 'Stein/Stain Bears evil and wear goatees?

This is so dumb. The only reason anyone thinks it was "Berenstein" was because how everyone pronounced it. At a very young age you recognize symbols, logos, art and take it for granted without reading it.
Exactly. I was in my wife's classroom about a year ago, and noticed her collection of Berenstain Bears books. We talked for a bit about how I remember reading them as a kid. She kept pronouncing it with the -ain sound. I thought it was weird, and tried to correct her. She corrected me back, showed me the book, and well I felt like an idiot.
It's nothing more than most people are used to names that end in -stein, and thus were likely pronouncing it that way without even thinking about it. That's how they remember it, and someone started an internet meme to mess with people.
Another example is how a lot of people talk about eating at "Cheepoltee" (Chipotle). Sometimes our brains make a connection without us having to think about it conscientiously. It's kind of like those chain emails with all of the words misspelled that then point it out at the end and explain how we are able to read it without having to really think about it.

So many people around the country remembered it as Stein, reddit had to ban all posts about the A/I spellings because it was getting out of hand.
There are people saying they remember it being different from the authors name and how that was odd, their parents saying "Stine", etc.
I was leaning towards the pronouncing explanation too (if you say Berenstain fast enough, esp here in the south, it sounds similar to Berenstein) until I asked literally 7 people in a row in person and not one of them said Stain, and every one of them thought I was lying until I showed them the book, then they all just looked shocked.

No, I don't think that based on responses in this thread and my own memories on the show/books. I just think people can be dumb/lazy and not change their thinking.

It is the point if you're using that as evidence of an alternate timeline. Do you say "intercoastal" or "intracoastal"? One is correct, and I know a lot more people that say and spell it incorrectly. Does that mean they are from an alternate timeline or just misinformed/misremembering and too lazy to be corrected?

Que? You're just trying to hard there. But I'm glad to know my points using logic are invalid while yours, making huge assumptions, aren't.
Also, let's not tout this as some sort of scientific theory. If it is, I leave it to you to cite legitimate sources. Lots of crap gets spewed out onto the internet that people take and spread as fact.
Edit: Not to mention the entire name of this "effect" is likely due to the habit of the internet to falsely report the deaths of famous people.

I've always remembered it as -ein. This is interesting:

It's like watching those Bigfoot shows and rather than the sound in the woods being any of the hundreds of known animals, it must be Bigfoot instead.

first ever Berenstain book
another old one
People just remember the name wrong, that's all.
