and you are just flat out wrong

there is nothing more to it

and its not just a fun theory its a rabbit hole that leads to much more dangerous conspiracies

and again THE MANDELA EFFECT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ALTERNATE REALITIES

ITS JUST PEOPLE REMEMBERING THINGS WRONG

that is literately what it is that is the actual definition

Our universe and another universe melded together when a time rip threatened to eliminate time and space.

To compensate our universes melded together to stave off the destruction. This also affected our minds because we also melded with alternate versions of ourselves and retain both memories.

That'd be kinda cool tbh

Some have actually been proven true (false?)

For example, a common Mandela Effect cited is Tinkerbell dotting the "I" in the intro to Disney movies. Many people remember this, but it's not actually a thing in the movies.

HOWEVER

Tinkerbell dotting the "I" IS a thing in the intro to some Disney TV programs.

I couldve sworn I had never even heard of the word of cornucopia for the longest time and I thought they were called looms specifically because of this. Not to mention it predates the Internet because you can find old newspaper articles that seem to imply its existence, its so weird. Ed McMahon never working for Publishers Clearing House and never delivering giant checks period is also a crazy one. I think theres a few really interesting phenomena of false memories like these but unfortunately 99% of the things people use as examples are just stupid spelling differences and such and they just get lumped in with those.

Right, but even for them he never once delivered a giant check.

I never heard of this one, but absolutely remember seeing him offer checks. I will say i always thought those were just advertisements, like a mascot or a wacky car salesman. I never thought he actually showed up to peoples houses.

A monocle is a common 1920s rich person feature with top hats and canes. This is why people think the Monopoly guy has one.

The last name "Stein" is common, which is why people view "stein" when reading "Berenstain".

Shazaam is a name that sounds like a genie would have, and Sinbad is also a name from Arabian Nights (not going to touch the can of worms of people mistaking two different black men).

Pretty much all of them are easily explainable.

There could be a cornucopia in the Fruit of the Loom logo, cornucopias have fruit and veggies in them. It's not crazy to think there's one there.
The problem with that is that the only time I ever think of a cornucopia is when discussing the fruit of the loom logo. If someone says "I have a company called Fruit Bites, we make socks, and the logo is an apple and a pear." A cornucopia is going to be the last thing I'll think of.

But if someone says they have a character named "Mr Riches" and he's a rich guy in a tuxedo and a top hat, the monocle is in fact something reasonable to picture.

As for Nelson Mandela, I don't have that one, but it's not that they assumed he was dead because no one had seen him. They remember being taught in school that he'd been killed. That's a bit direct and specific than just assuming he's dead.

^This.

Every single occurrence of the Mandela effect has a simple explanation.

I'd love to hear one that doesn't have a simple explanation.

Human brains have design flaws. Tendency to create retroactive reasoning, pattern recognition to a fault, for instance. It is so easy to believe that huge groups of people, all living in the same culture, will misremember the same thing in the same way.

On the one hand, the simplest explanation is just a group of people misremembering something.

On the other hand, it's not just that, it's *a lot of people misremembering a lot of the exact same things in the exact same ways*.


Or its a lot of people jumping on the bandwagon to look cool or just parroting what other people say and can't think for themselves

no i do agree with the mandela effect

which is just a group of people misremembering something

again that is the actual definition

alternate realities have nothing to do with it

alternate realities is just pseudo intellectuals trying to explain it

rather than just excepting the plausible explanations presented they come up with crazy theories

as if they admit the truth that the fault lies within there own memory then they have to admit they where wrong

The term "Mandela Effect" doesn't mean simply "a group of people misremembering something". It refers to a specific phenomenon in which *a lot* of people share the same memory that isn't consistent with reality. "They all misremembered" is the simplest explanation for the phenomenon, but that doesn't make it the definition. To put it another way, you could call the Mandela Effect an example of a group of people misremembering something - a subset of the broader category, with its own meaning.

~

On an unrelated note, I've been thinking about the Fruit of the Loom example in particular all day, because I think it's the one that affected me most.

Here's the thing: I don't just vaguely have the idea of a cornucopia being there. I can clearly picture it in my mind's eye. The shape, the position, the drawing style, it's so *vivid*. I should note two things about this: firstly, I don't think I've ever seen a cornucopia in my life, *except the one I associate with the Fruit of the Loom logo*; secondly, I don't think I've seen the Fruit of the Loom logo since childhood, *except in posts about the Mandela Effect*. This means I have a clear mental image of an object in the logo that I've never seen in any other context and I've had that mental image since I was a kid - *decades* before I would ever see anyone talking about the logo.

Is it possible I'm just remembering it wrong? Yeah, sure. Even likely, maybe. But I tell you what, I'd sure call it crazy if I misremembered something *so hard* that I imagined a shape I've never seen before. It's also just kinda fun to think that maybe this is a sign that our world is wilder than we realize.

Most importantly, though, I don't think it's anything worth taking so seriously. It's just a goofy quirk of the collective subconscious. It isn't anything anyone needs to *argue* about.

treating it like some grand conspiracy or the like is what leads to people believing other such things

its just like how some people legit believe the earth is flat

its like when people think paul from the beetles is dead and was replaced by a look alike

it is just flat out wrong

just except your memory is wrong

what colour is it? does it open to the left or the right? how big is it compared to the fruits? what material is it made out of? approximately what angle does it curve up at?
