People on TikTok are freaking out after one woman suggested that we might not ever truly pass on - and that the world could have ended many times before without our knowledge. Joli Moli, who goes by @joli.artist on the platform, is scaring people with a video she posted that claimed that we may never really die, but instead, our consciousness goes into an alternate reality. In that alternate reality, we exist without the memories of the world we lived in prior, except for some details that don’t seem right. Moli noted that if the theory of quantum immortality - which suggests that people never really die - is accurate, then humanity might have been ended many times by apocalyptic events similar to the asteroids “taking out the dinosaurs” 65 million years ago.

And because we have a limited word count here, here’s a 13-minute explanation of quantum immortality that’s worth a watch: “If the quantum immortality theory is correct, you’re just going to wake up in a parallel universe with no memory of the fact that you just survived an apocalyptic event,” Moli said in the video. She also detailed that our only sort of inkling into understanding that there might be a parallel world would be through the “new Mandela effects,” a phenomenon where people remember major events differently from how history claims it went. @joli.artist #mandelaeffect #apocalypse #atworldsend #quantumphysics #quantumimmortality #ChimeHasYourBack #manyworlds People in the comments found this discourse quite frightening and disturbing, as it may lean towards understanding that “we can’t escape.” “The thought of never being able to actually die is extremely depressing, and it’s giving me a headache,” someone wrote. ”Bruh, I’m just done with this anxiety. My body [is] emotionally [and] physically TIREDDD,” another added. A third commenter who is not really into conspiracies also suggested that they are “freaking out” about this idea. “Ok, I’m actually kind of freaking out right now coz I’m not the conspiracy typa guy, but you’re like eerily making sense,” they said. Others in the comments saw the positives of eternal life, with one saying that it brings them great comfort because they’ve lost people to “tragic deaths.” And on the other hand, people also shared experiences of “dreams” that they’ve had about the “world ending,” which made them believe in this theory even more. The Mandela effect is named after Nelson Mandela, the former South African president and activist for civil rights during Apartheid. After his passing in 2013, many people believed that he had passed away in prison in the 1980s and even had “clear” memories of his funeral on the news. With that, if you’ve ever awoken to find that things weren’t exactly as you remember them, maybe it means that you died in another universe and woke up in this one. How spine-chilling.

A man who gunned down a beloved store owner in California during a dispute over a Pride flag, was killed during “a lethal force encounter” with police. The identity of the gunman has not been released, with the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Office only stating that he was a male adult. The man shot and killed Laura Ann Carleton, 66, at her clothing store “Mag Pi” after he made “several disparaging remarks about a rainbow flag that stood outside the store,” officials said. The shooting happened around 5pm on Friday at the store on Hook Creek Road in in Cedar Glen, near Lake Arrowhead. When deputies responded to the store, they found Carleton with a gunshot wound. The mother of nine was pronounced dead at the scene. The gunman fled the area, but was later located near Torrey Road and Rause Rancho Road and was armed with a handgun when he was confronted by the authorities. He was killed during “a lethal force encounter” with deputies, who did not sustain injuries. “Through further investigation, detectives learned the suspect made several disparaging remarks about a rainbow flag that stood outside the store before shooting Carleton,” officials said. It was unclear whether the shooting was being investigated as a hate crime. The 66-year-old mother-of-nine had remained defiant as a prominent ally to the LGBT+ community. When people first ripped down the Pride flag hanging outside her store, Carleton simply got another and hung it straight back up. Friends say this happened multiple times in the two years since she opened the California store as a second outpost to her first location in Studio City. Hollywood director Paul Feig, whose works include Bridesmaids and The Heat, posted a tribute saying that Carleton, who he called his “wonderful friend,” had been killed by a young man. “Her alleged murderer was later shot and killed by the San Bernardino police and so no longer poses a threat to the community,” Feig continued. “But this intolerance has to end. Anyone using hateful language against the LGBTQ+ community has to realize their words matter, that their words can inspire violence against innocent loving people. Let’s all keep moving forward with tolerance and love. Let’s not let Lauri’s tragic death be in vain.” The Lake Arrowhead LGBTQ+ described her as a “remarkable figure”, whose "unwavering support" for the community and “dedication to creating a safe and inclusive space within her shop touched the lives of many”. The shooting comes about one month after the Anti-Defamation League and the LGBTQ advocacy group GLAAD released a report indicating a recent rise in anti-LGBTQ harassment, vandalism or assault in the United States. “This is absolutely horrific. This disgusting hate has no place in CA,” California Gov. Gavin Newsom wrote in a social media post on Saturday.
