Holy shit. Legit fucked up right now. Could have always sworn it was Berenstein. Now I'm questioning everything.

I remember it being stein. hmm this is pretty weird lol
For some reason this is the one I'm seeing now:These are ones I am seeing. Are we guys in the same timeline?
Makes sense. You have the one many of us read in the other timeline as kids and this is the one from the current timeline.
Never thought I'd see the day when the internet got up in arms about the Berenstain Bears of all franchises.
Always been a, but it tends to be pronounced -stein in the series' animation runs and no one else on the planet is named -stain.
Somehow I'm not surprised that Charles Krauthammer is petty enough to spend an entire column bitching about the Berenstain Bears.

BerenSTAIN?
What the fuck?
I'm from universe E. It was and had always been Berenstein to me.
Wow, berenstain even auto corrects as Berenstein. That's how bogus Berenstain is.

still blows me away how well this works, the brain is nutty
I have to admit, after thinking about it for awhile, I do have a dim recollection of noticing that the spelling was not what I expected, but of course I have no idea if this is my superego spinning a hammock for me to fall into or what
I have the same reaction when I look at "Berenstain" where my brain just shows a red light and I hear a fart sound
I read it that way too but he's pretty adamant that this is not the theory; from what I can gather it's more of a 16-sided universe where we 'switch tracks' every so oftenKeri said:

Wrong buddy. You already failed at reading STAIN. That cover is clearly from the STEIN dimension.

Damn, I thought I was the only one who thought they were the BerenSTEIN Bears? I....saw their "live action" mall tour back in the late 80s! I danced with them on stage to Tequila(and mimicking Pee Wee Herman). What....how......why?!
What... world have I slipped into, and how do I get BACK to my own?!

This can more or less be explained with Casualty.
Something from a similar Universe slipped into ours (wormhole, blackhole), due to this our Universe started pulling the other Universe incrementally in (In our time perception) to eliminate errors, as the only option is assimilation, which has a chance of following with destruction.
And, due to this, the foreign objects in our Universe also started pulling our Universe to the other Universe, thus assimilation, as time goes by, the two Universes swap out objects ad infinitum, eventually realizing the loop both Universes begin deleting the foreign objects, to keep the other Universe from pulling and pushing, this has two effects, it can keep the both Universe stable with minimal loss, or it can destroy one or both Universe due to everything being deleted. (Even the Universe itself may pull other in, due to how this works)
So, again, this ends in either assimilation or destruction, for one or both Universes.
If I am correct, and didn't leave anything out, the Berenstein Bears and Berenstain bears are a symptom of this.

Easiest way to explain this phenomenon is that someone somewhere out there in charge of the series once sent himself an email backwards through time via a modified microwave oven. Now since that person most likely doomed us all in this new awful A universe, we have to go and use that microwave oven to go back to our original universe.
It's also where The Lest Guardian was released on PS3.
Will add to the OP
Very insightful
Actually, universes start to converge at the point where Ronald Reagan chose George HW Bush as his VP over Ron Paul. Dr. Paul sought to reverse time to change the decision. Nelson Mandela, the turkey pic, and the Berenstein Bears all fall victim to this, plus many other things we haven't noticed yet. Dr. Paul's meddling did not reverse time but instead created a separate timeline that we all inhabit now.
This caused Bush to lose to Clinton and George W Bush to win two elections he never should have won. Paul saw the damage he caused and realized the only way to make things right would be to become president. The only problem is, he couldn't speak of this to the public, or else both universes would implode. However, the timeline change turned Ron into an evolution-denying creationist, rendering him unelectable.
After his defeat, Paul saw that in our universe, a Republican Candidate with hair unlike the world has ever seen would succeed Obama. He believed his son Rand would fulfill the prophecy and make things right again. However, time works in unpredictable ways, and in our universe, it has been recently revealed that Donald Trump will fulfill the prophecy, not Rand...
Wait, Spider-Man is listed as "Spiderman" in that TV listing.
...are...are we in the Hyphen Dimension too?

It's Bernstein, dammit! It was always Bernstein I tell you!
I actually remember it as Bearenstein (because they are bears), but Berenstein isn't that different phoenetically.
Berenstain though? The fuck outta here with that nonsense.
I actually texted 2 other people about this and they both replied Bearenstein.
I can only assume this is the darkest timeline.

I'm very familiar with this theory (it is frequently discussed on /x/) but it continues to screw with my brain to this day.
The B. Bears were some of my most-read books as a child. I distinctly remember it being -stein. It's even how I pronounced it. I feel like my family pronounced it as such as well.
Very strange situation.
This picture is photoshopped.......allegedly.....but this is what I remember:

Why would there be only two universes? Wouldn't there be an infinite amount? And if there was wouldn't one exist where Roko's Basilisk had occured and wouldn't that be the headline instead of furries for children?
