Okay, first of all, that’s clever and hilarious, so thank you.
Secondly, I put it to you that testing this either results in the end of personal knowledge entirely or else an outcome that can’t be peer-reviewed. I feel like that’s a pretty hard limit on the knowledge that can be gained here.
To test this you need an external observer who can register every quantum outcome and therefore can see/measure in every quantum reality.
How else would you get verifiable and reproducable data?
We are very far away from such a possibility, we don’t even know for sure if quantum theory (or which one of the many specific quantum theories) in general or the many worlds interpretation in speciality is even correct or not.
It’s not unknowable, you just have to conduct enough tests personally to have a reasonable level of confidence.
You shouldn’t, but you could.

It is a nice thought experiment though.
