the reason why the Many Worlds Theory results in such vastly different Newtonian/macro worlds?

I understand that electrons diverge and create new universes. But surely these changes that occur with individual electrons dont result in such vastly different macro worlds? To the point that in one universe Im wearing a clown costume playing water polo because an electron in a laser behaved spun right instead of left.

Now someone please correct me if Im wrong here.

I think youre a bit too hung up on single individual differences. With the many world theory there is a world for every possible outcome and if theres a large differnce between to worlds its probably not because of a single or a few different outcomes, but because of many different outcomes.

If you take radioactive decay for example. The decay is random, so there would also exist a world where decay isnt happening at all. Just like one possible outcome of a million coin tosses is a million times heads in a row, there is a (really really really really) small chance of the decay not happening for a long time. And with the possibility being there, there would be a world with that outcome.
