Programmer Discovers a Bug in The Simulation We Live In And Decides to Restart The Universe

After losing his daughter, a father becomes obsessed with a phenomenon in which people remember things differently from how they actually are and soon discovers a hard truth behind the fabric of reality.

The most unrealistic thing about this movie is that the code worked first try

I was in the sea with my dad. I was being dragged on the floor. I can also remember the feeling of the sand on my body. Next thing I felt this huge hand grab me and pull me up. It was my father. This is a core memory. I lost my father at 18. This memory always makes me feel loved and safe and thankful he was my father and I had him at all.

Funniest part that dude tries to overload the system capable of rendering the whole universe with code on a computer

The name of the movie is “The Mandela Effect”…convinced these comment sections are all bots programmed to be unhelpful haha

That exact thing almost happened to me when I was 9, was playing near the waves with my barbie, she got swept out and I started chasing her to get her back and went soooo far as the waves kept pulling her out. I heard screaming on shore and looked back at my parents and then a huge wave that I hadn't seen knocked me off my feet. I got flipped over and over like I was in a washing machine. Everything was so scary and then suddenly it was calm and peaceful, then a hand came out of nowhere and dragged me back to shore, my mom had practically teleported from the towel to the ocean and somehow found me and pulled me out. Over 30 years later it's still one of my strongest memories and I tell every parent I can, NEVER let your child out of your eyesight around water, it's all over in a moment.

Always be with your kid at the pool, or at the beach. Don’t just let them play by themselves. Come on guys, this is common sense.

[DavidBaronStevens]

If there's a code that will change reality into the one where I'm with my own daughter, I'll gladly implement it

[absolutetuber]

The message I got from this is singular, as I’ve seen it in other: the loss of a child is absolutely maddening and you’re never the same.

3:54 And in an alternate reality he Googles "is our reality simulated" and Google simply responds with "Yes." He nods, goes "Oh, well ok then." Then gets up and goes to bed. The End.
The funny thing is this was actually the backstory for the RPGs I used to run in my teens and early 20's. In my head, all of the games regardless of whether it was DnD, Werewolf, Robotech, whatever they all took place in the same multiverse, and it was all one big Matrix-like thing. The premise was Earth was dying, humanity realized we couldn't travel to a new planet and survive, so we basically burrowed into the center of the Earth where it would stay warm, and propelled the Earth out of our solar system to escape the supernova. Humanity exists as software, the simulation existing to keep the minds engaged until such time as the Earth enters orbit around a new star, at which point they would be downloaded into freshly-cloned bodies and have their original memories reinserted.
Every RPG was just another program being run, and every time a character "died" they just got put in stasis until the next program started. My grand plan at the end was to have the players discover this, and find a way to escape the simulation by doing things so unpredictable the computer couldn't procedurally generate it quickly enough. So like all the characters booked red-eye flights to different countries and each started doing something completely contrary to their personality. The rich guy gave a couple million bucks to the introvert so he could be the life of the party in Vegas, while he in turn begged for scraps on the streets of Mumbai, etc. Never actually played out that story, but that's the direction I intended to go.

Noticed in the reset timeline, the Curious George that Sam gives to his dad doesn't have a tail like in the other timeline

[Tomaniakk]

9:41 he lost his daughter once already and is still to lazy to go with her to keep an eye on her? Dad of the century material right here.

[HarperChisari]

Unrealistic, a uni professor would never care enough about a lab to tell someone invited by someone else to leave lmao

[dheethbar]

Even if we found out we lived in a simulation, would you really want to piss off the admins or creator by messing with stuff? 👀

[ChristopherRyans]

A father will reboot the whole universe for his children.

[mrdzin]

If you have to tell your kids to be careful while they are doing something alone, then be there to supervise and do it WITH them.

[theamazon]

The universe at the end was like heck no not dealing with that again

[jacobhoffman]

Mandela effect is interesting in that some people will believe in glitching parallel universes instead of believing they could misremember something.

[davidstorrs]

Suggestion for you: Put the name of the movie in the title, or in the description. I missed the first couple seconds of the video and therefore had no clue what movie I was looking at.

[underarmbowlingincidentof]

the Mandela effect has always been so funny to me.
a bunch of people who are convinced their memory is infallible and the universe must be wrong.
I mean the human memory is famous for being easily altered, manipulated, and corrupted lmao
