To answer the question: yes. I'm sure there are infinite universes where every possibility is played out.

There's probably even a really weird one where I don't make thread after thread here!

It's just such a weird thing to think about. Imagine right now, there's an exact copy of you in the exact copy of the universe you're in right now, sitting right where you are right now at this exact moment. Yet, they do something different for a few seconds and it completely alters their universe to be something different than where you're sitting right now. Even more to that, imagine being able to take a sneak peak into that universe to see if something actually changes to possibly convince you that doing said thing would alter your own reality in a positive way.

Somehow I don't think it would work like that. If the universe is governed by math, from the bounce of a ball, to the movement of a galaxy, then you are also governed by those same laws, and if it's impossible for anything to act differently than what is essentially preordained by mathematical fate, then even the Big Bang can't act any differently, which opens up the possibility that if the Big Bang was the result of a former universe imploding or whatever, then the Big Bang that started the former universe would have happened exactly like this the one did created ours. So there might conceivably be a you from some extremely distant past who was exactly like you and did everything that you've done, are doing, and will do.

Made me think of this for some reason.
