What does "multiple continuities" mean? I see it on a few pages and under different characters, can someone clarify? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.183.198.131 (talk) 14:07, August 5, 2026‎

Simpsons has a rather loose canon, made even more confusing by the floating timeline. The section on this page says "The team plays at the Double-A level and is often shown as drastically underfunded and struggling in competition. However, the team has also been shown to play in the Major League." It's been shown to play in two different leagues in two different episodes, therefore two different continuities. Another example is Grampa, who at one point has been a soldier in WWII, but has now been seen as a child in the 1940s due to the floating timeline. Solar Dragon (T • E) 14:23, August 5, 2026 (EDT)

It's not continuity though if it just happens once and doesn't continue, that's what "continuity" means. That's exactly why the industry terms "canonical" and "non canonical" are used, to separate a change in a pattern of continuity. So it doesn't really make sense, especially if these things happen once, or maybe twice, but no more then that before going back to what's been consistent.
