    Homer definitely fucked with multiple timeline branches in one of the earlier Treehouse of Horror episodes when he has the time machine toaster. The ecological impact of wiping out the dinosaurs in one alone alone is pretty significant.

          It’s understood that the events of Halloween episodes aren’t canon. They’re like Futurama What If episodes.

            There is no singular canon, only what is convenient for the episode. You’re right about Treehouse episodes being “less canon” than most others, but there very few things that are permanent in the show that haven’t been changed or couldn’t be changed in a future episode. So it’s a sliding scale of “canonism”
