Fans theorize that Peter has a hive mind
As previously mentioned, there are a lot of "Family Guy" episodes that contain absurdist storylines and character details, so much so that when you look at them all together, it quickly becomes clear that they couldn't possibly all happen in the same timeline. So, one Redditor posed the theory that Peter actually has a hive mind, à la "Rick and Morty," and exists in a multiverse. Redditor u/FaZe_poopy2 (https://www.reddit.com/r/FanTheories/comments/tch8kl/family_guy_the_peter_multiverse_hive_mind/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) explained that since Peter references events that happen outside the show's continuity, "Peter must be a hive mind connected to all other Peters across the multiverse, living their lives as well as his own, experiencing what they experience as his." The Redditor further argued that since the series hasn't changed its settings or characters over the years, it's possible that "each episode could be another griffin family."
Another theorizing fan expanded on this hypothesis and posed the idea that Peter's hive mind ability was passed on to Stewie, which would explain his genius-level intelligence. Redditor u/Mike_b_nimble (https://www.reddit.com/r/FanTheories/comments/tch8kl/comment/i0dg7z8/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) wrote, "So the reason Stewie has all of the knowledge and tech that he does is because al the Stewie's in all of the multi-verse share a collective mental capacity."
This hive mind theory will more than likely never be addressed in the show, but it does make a lot of sense when you consider just how many whacky situations Peter gets himself into.
