This isn't the worst or best timeline. It is just what is happening.
We can take action. We can grab the die that Joel McHale has tossed into the air.

First, I'm pretty sure quantum theory literally allows for what you just described (aside from the "shifting" part, though I'm not sure I agree that's part of the expression).
Second, it's just a way for people to try to cope with the horrors of our reality with a little levity. That's it.
