One of my possible theories is that the alternate timelines diverge for each of us at moments we could have died. The timeline diverges and one continues on with us and one without us; sometimes while "dying" timelines merge back together resulting in stories like reddit's r/glitchinthematrix

So if it's any consolation, your bully probably died in your deportation timeline.

    At any moment a tiny bit of clotted blood cells could suddenly lodge somewhere inconvenient and kill you so this timeline shit would be happening every second 24/7. Kind of renders these timeline thought experiments pointless.

    That would just be a possibility until it actually happens, until the actual crisis point.

    For example, we're not diverging with every step on a flight of stairs. However, have you ever experienced that moment of vertigo where you thought you missed a step and then felt your foot land solid on the next? That would be the moment.
