i've been playing pokémon my whole life, have never missed a generation, and i still thought pikachu had a black accent on the end of its tail until literally a couple months ago.
I think it’s probably because of animals like tabby cats having a dark end on their tails and we just assume the designers would make it like that as well. We get surprised by experiencing something different to what we’re used to and fill in details to more align with what we more commonly expect from a given situation.
I’m 100% positive the Monopoly guy had a monocle! I played that game at a very young age and wondered what the round piece of glass on his eye was! This is definitely a shift in reality!
@@Starlight81781 I remembered him with a monacle. And guess what I have never seen the peanut guy until today when I search him up on google just to make sure who peanut guy was and if I ever seen him before but nope .weird eh
I only recently saw a scene from legally blonde where she was driving down the road in a black car. It was not a video talking about how people remember the color of Ellie's car being a different color it was just a scene from the movie. But when I saw it I personally said no her car was pink. Then later I found out that there were thousands of other people that shared my same view. I was not coaxed into believing something. I believe it because that is how it was.
The Mandela effect that pisses me off the most is the fruit of the loom logo. I remember learning what a cornucopia was in elementary school and when I would see the commercials I would always think “that’s a cornucopia” but then now that was never real? How did we all just add a cornucopia to their logo? I never think of cornucopias in my daily life and I remember when they introduced the people as fruits in their commercials I saw they removed it then.
You obviously saw a cornucopia in some other image or logo and conflated it with the FotL logo. I distinctly remember NEVER seeing a cornucopia in the logo. Brand logos and names are something we see all the time but rarely closely scrutinize, making them easy to misremember and meld with other images and words we see. The human brain is a highly flawed mechanism.
Yeah I'd like that one explained too. Like I understand the idea of memories getting messed up or maybe a couple of marketing teams misspelled Berenstain but like where and why did so many people imagine a cornucopia? I just wanna know what might have possibly caused even if it doesn't make any sense just to put my mind at rest.
@@dreamlandnightmare memory and perception actually aren't flawed. The brain works the way it does for a reason. If we registered, analyzed, and remembered every detail of everything we saw or heard we would never get anything done. You'd be spending all your brain function on noticing minute details like the Amazon logo having an arrow from A to Z, or the hidden arrow in the FedEx logo... We have more important things to worry about so our brains only register the important stuff and fills the rest in by itself with things that kinda make sensr
The woman in the 1979 James bond movie who was attracted to jaws, she definitely had braces and no one is able to explain that one, there are loads of people who remember her with braces. That was the whole point of the scene and their attraction, they were attracted to each other because they both had metal teeth. The ending scene wouldn't have worked otherwise, guess what.... The ending scene has changed.
Yes, she definitely had braces. There would be no other reason for them to be attracted to each other as it was their common bond. Ghere is no explaining that away.
Yeah I remember Drowing it too . In 2012 I remember drawing it after seeing it on tv , and I remember thinking to myself that I didn’t like the black end on the tail of Pikachu . I couldn’t believe it when I saw it as a mandela affect phenomenon.
I have drawings from when I was child were I painted the black pikachu tail, I was obsessed with the Pokémon games and the show. I also vividly remember the thinkerbell Mandela effect, I used to play that thinkerbell intro on repeat. I also remember the Jonathan stranger things Mandela effect when the show came out. I strongly believe these 3 things existed I don’t know how they just don’t exist anymore but I’m sure of the memories are real
GOD I even had a group of classmates once tell that the pikachu I drew from memory had a lot of stripes and that I should only leave the one of the tail and the ones in his back
the Jonathan scene in stranger things I assume you mean the scene where he photographs Nancy and Steve having s*x, it did happen but before season 4 came out, the duffer brothers reedited season 1 and it was a running joke that they were trying to Mandela effect us
@@Mariana-sy3dc I sold children's clothes for years including hundreds of Pikachu t-shirts. I can tell you with absolute certainty that he did have a stripe at the end of his tail.

we are living in an alternate parallel universe. CERN opened up a portal which sent us into a parallel universe and slightly altered/rewrote our timeline. that’s why the Madella Effect was never a thing until the mid to late 2000s.
If I were running a simulation and I wanted to see if my subjects could handle an event as reality-shattering as finding out they were simulated, I would run small tests to see how people handle coping with shared delusion on a massive scale. Something innocuous, but deeply ingrained. Like an advertisement, or a childrens book. Then the question becomes: Did they pass the test? And, if so, when will they see outside of Plato's cave?
Now what though, are things gonna keep changing, and now, us the test subjects feel confused, like everything is subject to change, nothing is real, and mentally fucked
This is the government experimenting this strange phenomenon on the population. They do it on a small scale like movies, music, and video games to see how effectively they can rewrite or remove a past event from our memories. They try to program our minds to accept this artificial change in past events. Since they have full control over the media, television , education, and movies, I can see how they have the ability to use the Mandela effect for their agenda. It's not a coincidence that most of the population remember the same event, but can't find any evidence or information on it in the system. I watched the empire strikes back 7 times in the theaters and Darth vader said "LUKE, I am your father". Not "No, I am your father. They definitely Replaced that line later without letting the public know. They also removed Pikachu's black tip and replaced it with an all yellow end. Again, it's a small scale operation like subliminal messages.
This is the most interesting comment I have read in a long time. I lean more towards Not being in a simulation, but this is certainly a thought-provoking argument for the other side.
The movie lines and quotes can be explained by people misquoting them or being parodied in other medias because out of context those quotes make less sense.
Indeed, I saw a video on the Mandela effect in which they claimed that "Hannibal Lecter _never_ said 'Well, hello Clarice'". They also played the scene from _The Silence of the Lambs_ where Lecter and Agent Starling meet that clearly shows Hopkins politely saying "Good morning". However, the video in question only specified that he didn't say it in _Silence of the Lambs._ Lector _did_ say the line in the sequel _Hannibal_ (although, it may be the case that the line is _"Why,_ hello Clarice", but that's just pedantic) but the maker of the video didn't mention the sequel. I think this is a bit of a lie of omission and serves to gas-light the viewer into thinking the "mis-quote" mysteriously appeared from the aether.
Nah bro the entire universe changed around me. It’s obvious that it’s some alternate reality, I couldn’t possibly remember anything wrong. I’m always right. It must be that the entire world changed around my experience.
@@Mrorlgloth 1996 is the original animated the one they are talking about is the supposed to be live adaptation but still consist of cgi so there goes your live..
The Star Wars ( Empire ) line is easy to explain. At the time It was fully part of pop culture and MISQUOTED in countless other media even just a few year after the film. It didn't have a VHS release for years so people couldn't easily look it up. No internet as well
The one that got me was the “Luke I am your father” which is now “no, I am your father” that’s when I really believed the Mandela effect. Same with jiffy which is now jif
Man.. I remember watching tv news in 80s with my mother and she cried when Mandela died and she now have schizophrenia but still remember it same as me.
when i was younger i actually remember watching the black and white series with pikachu having the black end in his tail, but then seeing the original series and noticing that pikachu didn’t have that black end of his tail. i grew up in life thinking it was just a design choice they made in black and white…
Ninety-nine percent of MEs can be explained away as coincidences and faulty memories. However, if you read about MEs enough, even the most hardened skeptic will eventually run across a few that just can't be dismissed, no matter how hard he or she tries.
It occurs to me that the error in recalling the Berenstain Bears' name correctly could be as simple as a kind of "neurological autocorrect": fixing a spelling error that isn't really there. Overwhelmingly, names of that kind tend to end in "-stein," as in the names Goldstein, Silverstein, Epstein . . . or even Frankenstein. People's minds simply edit the (mis)perceived error out of the one major exception, without thinking.
I asked my aunt that bought them why it's pronounced Steen and not stein like Einstein. A very vivid memory that took place. Now why would I ask that if it was stain the whole time?
I thought Pikachu had a black tip on his tail, but accepted that it was Yellow after I started playing Pokémon Diamond and Pearl when those came out. That was over a decade ago and it has definitely been yellow ever since. It definitely hasn’t been black since then, as I would have noticed it. Now,… a few days ago my daughter (who is 9) got a Pikachu toy and was asking “wasn’t his tail black on the end?” She couldn’t have seen a black tipped tail during her lifetime, but still had the same misconception.
Also the ears have black and MOST IMPORTANTLY I think it’s because of the brown spot on the tail like why is it at the base it would make more sense for it to be at the end and to be like the ear tips so we remember it like that
My niece is a huge Pokémon fan, so for her bday (themed Pokémon) I painted and made a “pin the tail on pikachu” game, complete with 20 pikachu tails. ALL with black tips. This was maybe 5-6 years ago, I even had to buy a white paint marker to write the numbers IN the black tip area. And I used hundreds of online images of pikachu and his tail so I know I got it correct, she’s a major fan and I didn’t want to disappoint her. She loved it btw. It turned out amazing. And a little side note on the “Berenstain” bears, I guess i can see how some can argue a misspelling of ONE letter, however, I know I, and everyone else who loved the book series, pronounced it as “Beren-STINE” OR “Beren-STEEN” …. But never ever heard anyone pronounce it as “Beren-STANE” which means the original spelling I thought it was is correct…BerenSTEIN. Would make zero sense for even my teacher to pronounce the name wrong (she pronounced it as Baren-STEEN) if it was indeed always spelled as “berenSTAIN” I have lost sleep over this stuff lol and swore to my family I will leave it alone 😂 But something happened for sure. Especially for tens of thousand of people, possibly more, all to have the same “wrong” memories and pronounce a popular book series completely wrong.
That's the wierd thing. If everyone remembered something being different, no big deal. But everyone remembering it differently all say it was the same way... that's what makes it wierd.
Because who's surname do you know that's pronounced as "Stain"? Now ask yourself how many times you've heard "Stein" like Einstein or "Steen"?. Mystery solved. Also, Pikachu's tail was never black, I don't remember it as such, and I was obsessed with Pokémon in the late 90s. I also played Pokémon on gameboy and Pokémon Snap on N64. He never had a black tip on the tail. He is often pictured with his tail close to his ears, and both his ears have black tips. Coloring books can be produced by hundreds of companies and either as a misrepresentation or to make it more engaging, they simply added more parts to color! Mystery solved.
I am completely with you on the Berenstein Bears books. I read all of those books to my children as they grew up. I remember wondering if it was pronounced stine or steen, but never stain
The fact that you made the black tails means you saw it and knew it was. If there never was one you never would have thought to create the tail with a black tail tip.
I don't have any answers for what is definitely happening regarding the phenomenon. I do however adamantly hold the position that it is absolutely not a matter of multiple parallel universes. One of the big things regarding the effect is that "residue" is left behind that indicates that there could be some truth to the shared memories people hold. You can find many whole youtube videos dedicated to such residue, in case you're looking for specific examples. The very existence of residue being an integral part of what makes the effect so compelling is a clear indication that it's not a matter of someone who formed memories in one universe somehow crossing over into another universe where things happened differently. If such a thing were to happen, the new reality the person entered into would not have any such evidence left behind, as it never would have happened the way people remember it happening to begin with. Quite simply, the parallel universes explanation is insufficient to explain the phenomena as observed. While it's not impossible that the many worlds theory could potentially hold some general truth, it seems impossible to be the explanation for the Mandela Effect specifically, and there's no solid evidence of anyone at any point in history ever crossing into such a parallel world.
I love humans. "Is it possible you misheard or misremember?" "PSSSH. NO WAY. Its obviously a glitch in the entire fabric in the world and reality being overwritten, not me."
Exactly, right? It's like we have the opposite of Occam's Razor hardwired into us. Besides, if the fabric of the universe changed, why would we be aware of the differences? Surely we'd just remember the alternate universe timeline rather than our original timeline version?
I experienced the mandela effect personally. In 2003 I got a tattoo of a lion's head over the left side of my chest. I distinctively remember it being on my left side because it kind of matched the tribal cross on my left arm. A few months ago i was laying in bed watching tv and had my shirt off and FREAKED to the point that jumped out of bed when I noticed that the tattoo is now over the right side of my chest.
That definitely is messed up in all honesty. That is also something way beyond gaslighting. I've heard of people being around the same people a long time and maybe the person always loved catsup on everything, but then you watch them eat and ask them if they want some catsup. They look at you oddly asking why. I have always hated catsup. That's something that starts to make you question a lot of things, but you sit there now thinking on whether you even know the person or not. Yup. People make fun of those who have encountered it and yet it goes way beyond just name or logo changes. I keep seeing a vision. The sky in it is a royal blue color. Someone threw a rock in a body of water causing ripples in the water. The ripples are the Mandella Effect. I normally don't say too much anymore. I stopped reading the Bible for a long time when verses changed in the KJV version. I could guess at what happened, but it would be a stab in the dark. It is my opinion that those who say this is not happening are potentially NPC's so it is in their "programming" to only say what what they are "programmed" to say. Maybe they are "advanced SIMS who think they are real". (Those who deny the truth are part of the simulation.) It is my educated guess that we may be sitting either in something similar to a super massive black hole or CERN destroyed our world and we are living in an alternate reality. What is real? This world is upside down the way I see it. Our world from which we all came was right side up and somehow we are probably sitting on a "mirrored version of our original world". The world is heading towards its culmination of things. Maybe science was trying to outsmart God or tried to buy more time or maybe they thought they could hide from Him in a simulation they made. Maybe science was attempting to recreate a tower of babel that backfired where people were not supposed to remember things. I'm not sure and cannot prove my theories. I only know that whatever is happening is more along the lines of something supernatural, not misremembering things.
I found an old Fruit of The Loom T-shirt in my parents' loft that I used to wear back in the 90s, and guess what it does have a Cornucopia on the logo.
You don't understand how the effect works..everything changes in the new reality except all the memories of the people that can't be changed. You can find residuals like someone who drew that event as this is a new act of creation even if it describes the one that changed.
Pikachu has black stripes in all of the fake merch! I know for a fact that I remember Pikachu having black stripes because every Pokemon thing I owned when I was little was fake and cheap. I even had a Sonic the Hedgehog bag with “Mickey Mouse” written underneath 😭
The time people are mistaking for Mandela's death and televised funeral was actually a celebration of his birthday that was televised worldwide. I did this experiment with my Bible class. I asked them to put their Bibles away and then write the name of the last book of the Bible on a slip of paper with their name and pass them to me. Then I told them to take the Bibles out again and see what the last book was called. I could see some confusion immediately. I asked how many got it right and almost all thought they did, but fully one half of them got it wrong. The book is Revelation, but many folks remembered it as "Revelations". The ones who thought they had it right but didn't simply wouldn't have been able to admit their error without my slips of paper reminding them what they wrote to begin with. Memory is a slippery thing and not to be trusted. Especially if you place a great deal of importance on being right. It's that intractable nature that makes people insist they are right and believe it so strongly that instead of admitting the mistake they come up with alternate time lines to explain it.
This isn't proof. If you asked them to raise their hands if they got it right I bet most kids would. Due to thinking it's close enough or bc they didn't want to be embarrassed in front of their peers.
Hold up bud. Opening a portal is NOT a conspiracy theory from TikTok. CERN's director of operations Sergio Bertolucci said on the record back around 2013 or 2017 that they hoped to "open doors to other realities thru which they may send something or something might come". That's no conspiracy theory sport. That's documented fact!
I've never been that weirded out about the Mandela effect and im glad you mentioned Biko, because I always felt thats where the mix up came in. However, the one that still confuses me is the Spongebob one where, at the end of the 2004 film, Spongebob's guitar was a peanut and not a triangle shaped guitar like i remembered
Yeah I don't find it that weird, it's just cultural misremembering. With ones like the Star Wars & Snow White lines, it's because you hear people referencing it more than you ever watch the movie. So you come to reference the references rather than the actual movie itself. Other stuff is just confusing two similar things. E.g. Pikachu's tail doesn't have an accent on it, but Raichu's does. So some ppl obviously got them conflated.
I feel like the Spongebob one is because of his outfit, he wears white, sharp shaped boots and a purple coat, if you'd asked people which guitar would suit him best, most would surely describe the kind of guitar that most remember. The peanut one simply doesn't fit the rest of the outfit, therefore our brains might have exchanged it.
The craziest one for me is Britney Spears not having a headset. My little sister was obsessed with Britney and we learned her dance moves from watching her videos over and over. She 💯 had a headset. :/
She definitely had a headset. There is also a parody character of her in a video game (the character's name is Courtney Gears) and that character is also wearing a headset.
My brother Luke was named after star wars and I remember very clearly the line “luke I am your father” as does my dad who named my brother and quoted that line regularly throughout my childhood. We watched the movie many times and I remember it vividly.
You can't gaslight me, man. It's always been a beautiful day the THE neighborhood... those memories were imprinted at the same time I was learning language and the clarity with which I remember singing along with Mr. Rogers every day while learning to talk and sing and rhyme is not the same thing as not recalling where I put my keys last night- in this timeline or any other. Psychologists will have to do a little bit better than "you misremembered" to get me to believe I see 5 lights when there are clearly, undeniably 4 of them.
I remember specifically them changing Bernstein to Berenstain because the "stein" version was the Jewish spelling and was now offensive..Last names ending in Stein are normally Jewish last names There are old books and vhs tapes out there with both spellings on them!
But how does that explain the copy of a Berenstein book we kept as a keepsakes from when the kids were little? I distinctly remember the Berenstein spelling, but upon discovering about the ME and this particular one, I went to the bookcase to prove I was right and the ME was twaddle. Except the book, which was the original from when the kids were little now said Berenstain. It's an anomaly I just can't explain.
Please produce said movie so we can finally prove these people wrong! I could in no way shape or form confuse Sinbad with Shaquille.. their not even in the same realm to me... Please please please share the movie
I also remember the actor who plays Hagrid from HP passing away. And when i saw the news of him passing away recently i was so confused. I even remember seeing him in some internet compilation of popular HP actors who have passed away a few years ago
i think what is happening is string theory stuff...something is converging timelines that are branched so basic memories with the simplest things are not as objectively defiable as they should be a crack in the matrix maybe?
Its easy to explain, shared false memories exist and internet makes it easier,vjust because you don't understand something doesn't mean it doesn't exist, and why do you think "millions of people" is a big deal?
It leans into the "collective unconscious" Carl Jung wrote about, shared 'hallucinations' leading to similar experiences across the planet. That being said, some of these 'effects' are real, I personally have a copy of 'The BerenSTEIN Bears,' not Berenstain, if it truly was always that way then the book in my possession shouldn't exist.
It does. Each of us is not that special and unique. We have all evolved or been created to operate very similarly. That makes people feel powerless and embarrassed and it is hard to accept.
the actor that played darth vader said he remembers saying “luke i am your father” AND at the end of we are the champions, i know for a FACT they said “of the world” at the end😭 no one can tell me otherwise bc i SWEAR even mayday parade said it in their cover of it. this is the one that upsets me the most
I'm with you and people are starting to find proof of some of what "we" remember. Ex.... a man found his old Berenstein Bears book! I find it so interesting that that is happening now when years ago, no one could find any proof or "residuals" of their original memories.
Not 'wrong ' just a different memory. I completely remember driving in my car, packed with friends, all singing with the radio to "We Are the Champions". No, I wasn't mistaking a CD playing either because the DJ's would wait for ".... of the world" and sing along too.
Enjoyed this video, as someone who works in science/Healthcare I've always believed the memory consolidation theory...idk it just makes sense to me. So thank you for including this! I'm glad you are able to discuss topics as such whilst accepting that there is no right or wrong
There is a right an wrong, and it is called sin...."But all have Sinned and come short of the Glory of God!" "For the Wages of Sin is Death but the Gift of God is Eternal Through Jesus Christ our Lord!" So yes.. there is a right and wrong and we are all Born into the Wrong of Sin but Jesus died for you so that you can be saved! Let's talk more about the lies of Satan that says there is no right or wrong! You already know that what I speak is true!
Ifs a misfire in your brain where your short term memory gets stored in your long term memory making you believe something you are currently experiencing to be a memory, I used to get it constantly and the same misfire started to give me seizures
I been having that a lot lately. Not dejavu. I used to have that all the time where I had dreams and then they happened. In the past few months I been having normal mundane things going places I never been, having a conversation, with someone but, my mind says "this already happened, you've done this, seen this said this" hard to put into words.
I so appreciate this analysis because I've thought this for years. The Mandela effect is interesting but it's not like we don't have evidence that memory is very unreliable. Most people believe their memory is better than average and most people are wrong... The only reason this effect bothers people is because they're shown proof that their memory is worse than they think it is. And this video is one of the only ones that admits that we already know what causes this. Its nice for someone to finally platform this.
I was an avid video collector, owning over 10,000 movies. I had all seasons of Sex In the City (VHS) in a box stored away. I was embarrassed in front of family and friends, when I emphasized that it was Sex "IN" the City, and NOT, Sex "and" the City. I know I watched for many seasons, I know what I bought, I know what I had. So, I went to my storage room and retrieved the box of videos. I opened it in front of every one and all my damn boxed sets said Sex "AND" the City. Impossible.

No way, even in Czech translation it is "sex VE městě" Meaning in city... Would need to be "sex a město" or switched so it would sound better, can be argued it is better catching phrase but dunno seems way of from English meaning
The pop culture stuff is what's popular with the Mandela effect but there SO much more!!! History has changed, land masses, bible changes, new animals etc. It goes on and on. Every aspect of life has been Mandela effected
You can say a person can make a mistake with a memory that is 100% true but we can’t all collectively, mistaking the same thing that’s not how memory works if we go outside together as the human race and say the sky is green it’s always been green But a few of us say it’s blue. Somethings wrong.
That is absolutely possible according to one of the theories listed on this video. If the human brain is storing similar memories close to each other, it would be more probable that a percentage of people mix up the same facts instead of only one individual.
Not really: his life & death were commemorated back in the 80s in a movie called "Cry Freedom," which was Denzel Washington's breakout role. That very film, in turn, is possibly both how people heard Biko's story AND why they might have conflated it with Mandela's, as this video suggests.
I think a lot of it has to do with humans consuming copious amounts of information at a more rapid speed than other humans in our span of time. More over I think it's movies and pop culture misquoting these famous lines and beliefs that we take as facts. The Chick-fil-a one still gets me though..
In the radio novelization version of star wars , darth vader says "Luke i am your father" a lot of people at the time probably got to listen to it and thats why so many remember "Luke i am your father"
I remember a Henry VIII portrait in which he was holding a turkey leg, except the original portrait NEVER had him holding a turkey leg. It was only after watching a video on the Mandela Effect that this portrait was brought up as a Mandela Effect. My mind is blown because it seems other people remember the portrait the same way I remember it. I also remember Fruit of the Loom having a cornucopia. Having 2 sons, we bought FotL underwear for one and Hanes for the other so they wouldn't get their underwear mixed up. I clearly remember the cornucopia.
Had cornucopia... we have a business printing tshirts... I've bought and printed thousands of FOTLs .. with the cornucopia... my employees remember it also
I vividly remember an episode of Chuck Norris where he fights a bear. Always been a joke of mine I couldn't believe he fought off a bear with a round house kick. 17 years ago I watched that episode...I watched it just now... there's no roundhouse kick. My mind is so confused right now... am I crazy? I know I didn't just imagine it...I feel crazy...
I remember in middle school and we went to the set of Kazzam and meeting Shaq while he was shooting this film. Although I recall how confused I was with the Nelson Mandela death, for a while I was so confused and thought I was the only one, didn’t know how many other people believed this was the case, as well!
I remember watching a pokemon episode, where Ash's Pikachu meets these other pickachus like him in the wild. (it was a really old episode) but, i distinctly remember, how Ash's pickachu had a black tail and the other pokemons didnt have a black tail.
I remembered when I was 12, I made a Pikachu stuffed toy, the fabric is blue, I just formed the shape of Pikachu and stitched it, I drew the eyes, mouth, the circle on the face, the stripe on the body and black on the tail tip. So I can't be wrong, I remembered it clearly.

I left work, took off my wireless headphones, plugged them into a charger, drove home. I get home, park, reach for my headphones, and they aren't there. I look all over the car, check my head, check around my neck, check on top of the car. Not there. I give up and go in my apartment. Go to the kitchen and make dinner, go to my desk, sit down, and take off my headphones. Wait, what? How'd they get here? I don't even remember picking them up. They were just suddenly here again. I can buy me absent mindedly picking them up without thinking, and not remembering, but how did they teleport into the apartment. It just keeps happening, things will disappear from one place and reappear somewhere else.
True, a lot of it can be explained away as remembering wrongly but that wouldn't explain how I remember with vivid details a Batman the animated series episode which never even aired and doesn't exist because I recently bought the entire series on DVD box set and there is no episode in which Batman when scratched by the Man-Bat ends up becoming the Man-Bat in a part 2 and Robin and Alfred end up curing him in the water chamber in his bat cave with the same Man-Bat solution he used to save the doctor

Is it possible that the company just changed the logo at a certain time? It's not as if Fruit of the Loom would call a press conference to inform the public that they are changing the logo.
I am experiencing several of these MEs. Cornucopia included. I remember my mother explaining it to me because I didn’t know what it was. Now the company says it NEVER was there. I’m also of the age, I remember Ed McMahon doing tv ads in the 80s for Publishers Clearing House. He was ubiquitous. Now PCH has never employed him and he seems to have always worked for some other company I never heard of before yesterday. There are more. I am really getting on board with the multiverse idea. Just nice to know I’m not the only one with “alternate facts” in my head.

I am 100% sure that a boy in high-school passed away in 2017. The next year I saw that boy walking around alive and well.ater that year we had a class together and I was always so mind blown that I believed he died yet there he was. In the the middle of that year he got into a very bad car accident but still survived.
I have thousands of memories of airplane turbines being under the wings. Now they are all in front and planes look ridiculous to me. My heart was on the left side, I remember braces in Moonraker and so on. I counted over hundred things changed that I am absolutely certain of. Someone is toying with us and that scare me the most.
Turbines are under on 737 plane wings? And the heart is partially on the left side, but more central, where did you hear it was on the left side? I'm guessing it wasn't medical school so why would that convince you either way? The lungs have always been where they are your whole life they would have to be moved to move your heart
@@theharmonholedamon2008 When I was young, heart was completely on the left side and all airplane engines were under the wings, in line with wings, not one engine was a centimeter in front.
@ZoranArhitekta your heart wasn't on the left, tv shows told you it was, and yeah your childhood memories may be wrong ever think if that? People always pretend like just because other people's childhood memories are wrong that theirs could never be flawed because...?
Yeah, i have learned that human memory is very flawed. Our memories actually change very often. It kind of makes me sad to think about it. This is why I like to take pictures, I do not trust my memory.
Consider the science of 'Epigenetics'. I found that human memory is 'fragmented' rather than flawed simply because we all genetically inherit sensory experiences to a greater or lesser degree from any and every-one that we are connected to in our bloodlines. Present life experiences will determine when, what, and how those memories or 'genetic files' are activated and then manifested in one's behavior/reaction. Just a thought.
Yes our memory is very crappy! One time I went to a thrift store over a year ago. There was this one room which had fluorescent lights in it, and I could had sworn they had the purplish tinted deluxe cool white “CWX” tubes in them! I even have a clear photograph of it in my memory, but despite this they were just the regular “CW” cool white tubes. I was surprised when I went back in September and noticed no purplish tint. I supposed they could had changed them, but that is unlikely, considering a couple were at end-of-life or burnt out. I have a couple theories that are more plausible. One is that another place I went to, possibly around the same time, did in fact have fluorescent lights with the CWX tubes. My memory could had reconstructed the memory of the thrift store lights with that memory. The lights were also very dim, which is normally a characteristic of CWX tubes. Back then, I wasn’t as experienced in fluorescent lighting as I am today, so I could had easily gone off the brightness alone to determine the type of tube. Then, when I learned CWX tubes are purplish, I could had easily applied that to the memory, already thinking the tubes were CWX.
Fair enough for minor Mandela effects. But if thousands of people remember the same thing VIVIDLY, that logic can't really apply now, can it? One person can mishear or misremember something. One... But thousands? No skeptic to this day has been fully able to disprove the Mandela effect, which really says something. Not completely true, but not completely false in every instance.
Fruit of the loom. Only place in my life I can recall seeing it was on mums readers digest recipe box. And I remember the Brown weard thing behinds the Fruit.
To the ppl saying they have items with the “correct” ie pre-Mandela change-KEEP THOSE! Take photos and share them. This is called residue or residual (sorry I’m half asleep) but anyway it is VERY IMPORTANT EVIDENCE!!
To me, the Mandela effect comes from the fact that we live in a video game, and every time the game levels up, certain things are written incorrectly because the programmer didn’t think people would remember little things and simply didn’t pay attention to detail when writing the next level up! We live in video game people! 😏
100% Car accidents are a great example. In a head-on crash the cars often come to rest facing the opposite direction of travel they were in before the crash, but eyewitnesses will not remember that. They fixate on the cars after the fact and they lose what they originally saw and change their memory to match what the aftermath looks like.
It was "mirror, mirror, on the wall". I am sure, because tge fairytale was translated in my language, and it doesn't even make sense that it would have been "magic mirror". In English, the words "magic" and "mirror" sound a bit alike, but in my native language, "magic" and "oglindă" (which is the term for "mirror"), sound very different. In my native Romanian 🇷🇴 language, it was translated "oglindă, oglinjoară, cine e cea mai frumoasă din țară?". The word "mirror" = "oglindă", is repeated in a diminutive form (oglinjoară).
doesn't mean the original wasn't magic mirror. It is very common for dubs to change certain lines to make more sense or sound more pallatable in different languages. Happens all the time in portuguese.
@@OKOK-sr2xg It is also a song from 1996 from Solid Base called also "Mirror, Mirror". They could left "Magic Mirror", cause these 2 words sound quite alike. And in 1996 nobody talked about Mandela Effect. "Mirror, mirror on the wall Tell me what I'm looking for..."
@@OKOK-sr2xg Maybe in Portuguese, but Romanians are quite accurate in maintaining even the names of foreign people and places... We don't "romanianise" them.
@@OKOK-sr2xg I want to add the fact that, going back to the originally written book, the lines spoken by the witch were "Mirror, mirror on the wall, Who's the fairest of them all?", so the Mandella effect in this case seems to have occurred at the directors of the film, and we simple people actually remember with certainty that it was so and that the reality we know is based on facts. As we simple people should admit that we are wrong, this should also happen to the most "wise" among us.
0:19 I've said this for years regarding Biko. We had the documentary and movie in 87. Peter Gabriel had the song. Some time passed. Mandela comes front and center. People talk. People associated the two just enough to regurgitate a mix plus if you tell someone something and it passes through five people it's a new story. I remember speaking about them myself and mixing them up. I was 17 and probably stoned when I watched the documentary and movie. You have to remember back then we all saw the same 4 or 5 channels and the film was a big deal so most everyone knew about the them. I'm glad I eventually correctly learned about them though. Biko's story is wrenching.
It's a pretty simple answer when you know the basics of psychology and the human brain functions :) the more someone needs to recall a memory the more details they will get wrong each time something will change when they recall that memory. In fact, the memory we have of something isnt from the actual event- it's a memory of the event that was last recalled but with the newest change of the current recall. We simply misremember and since we have so many stubborn people thinking they know everything they don't realize how wrong they really are :)
And tha would make sense if it was a recall, then yea sure fine there would be proof tho. But to say it never existed...... that's just weird. So the oxi guy may his soul r.i.p never said "but wait, there's more? Come on now. How? He said it that was his thing lol. But they say it never existed.
Kit Kat was Kit-Kat. Oh and the new one is The Cheers cast Norm is still alive. He died a few years ago and I remember it on national news with a mug of beer at the bar for Norm in remembrance.
One example that is particular to the UK surrounds the cartoon _Captain Pugwash._ It was a very cheap show, you could barley call it "animated", but it was cute a kitsch about a crew of sailors that looked like pirates. The received wisdom was that the producers put a few "risqué" jokes in naming the characters, to amuse the parents but would go over the heads of kids watching. These included "Master Bates", "Seaman Staines" and "Roger the cabin-boy" ("roger" being a synonym for "to have sex roughly") However, the character was called Master _Mate_, "Seaman Staines" was a complete invention and the cabin boy was named Tom. The best guess is this started off as a parody strip in a student rag-mag, and the joke caught on. However, there are some that claim that when the they made a new version of it in the late 90's, that the prudish, politically correct, powers-that-be enforced the double-entendres to be removed, even going back over the archives a digitally changing the old shows!
I just literally read your comment to my husband... I didn't know anything of the show as there is an age gap between us but as soon as I said Master Bates he jumped in and said "and Seaman Staines!".. so he is mindblown now that Seaman Staines which he remembers clearly was an "invention"
Somewhere in another universe there are a bunch of people saying nah bro Nelson Mandela lived until 2013, what are you talking about “he died in the 80’s”
I just experienced one a few minutes ago which made my heart drop. I love this song, called “Jealous” by Eyedress. I used to listen to it all the time because of the relatable lyrics, but today I played it again. This morning it sounded normal, but as I played it again a few minutes ago, I knew something was off. I distinctly remember “Why would you want to choose me?”, however, it appeared to change to “Why would you want to be with me?” I don’t know if I’m just tired, or going crazy, but when I tell you I listened to that song so much I knew all the lyrics without looking, I’m not lying. You can only imagine the smile on my face drop when I messed up the lyrics of a song I thought I knew so well..
Wait... I always saw Pikachu with a black tip. He always had it. One hundred percent it's engrained in my head my mom and older brother collected Pokemon cards with Pickachu always with a black tip. I know I'm not the only one.
My own instance of the Mandela Effect: I clearly remember Spain's victory goal against the Dutch în the 2010 World Cup final being scored by David Villa with a HEADER rather than by Iniesta with a KICK
The most logical explanation is "WE DONT NOTICE THESE THINGS BECAUSE WE DONT TRY TO SEE THEM SO WE MAKE OUR BRAIN BELIEVE IT" we just dont notice these things cause we dont really care about them...
I would think that The Mandela Effect is, branch timeline. Playing with Time. That ripple in Time. And effects the group that witnessed one event. And erases or changes a timeline.
exactly! CERN opened up a portal to a parallel universe sending us into it and slightly altering/rewriting the timeline. that’s why no one ever heard of the Mandella Effect until the mid to late 2000s.
dunno... it leaves "artefacts" behind, like Moonraker's Dolly with braces in parodies and (as of lately) no longer wearing them in the movie. If they were never there, it's doubtful they'd be in a parody...
Found an old TV guide list online a while back after the controversy and it was differently spelled "Bernstein" I've even had the books spelled that way growing up.
The biggest Mandela Effects I have experienced are The Berenstein Bears, The Monopoly Guy's Monocle, Pikachu's black tip tail, as well as Star Wars which I've only watched once and I still remember he said "Luke, I am your father" and I know "mirror mirror on the wall" among several others I have experienced myself.
I clearly remember that in my school we read about Mandelas death. And there was that he died in prison. It was in 2016 when we discussed it. And I still remember his name because I hated this boring topic. And in 2020 I saw that he died in 2013. I am still shocked.

The movie I am Legend has 2 different endings. Both were aired on private tv stations. I remember arguing with my family members about the actual ending.
i've been playing pokémon my whole life, have never missed a generation, and i still thought pikachu had a black accent on the end of its tail until literally a couple months ago.
6:30 I would devote my soul to this theory, *if* I get to eternity with Keanu Reeves
I have really similar story, don't get brainwashed with what you call reality, pikachu HAD it! BTW do you also recall death of Mandela in 2009?
it did i remember also
I think it’s probably because of animals like tabby cats having a dark end on their tails and we just assume the designers would make it like that as well. We get surprised by experiencing something different to what we’re used to and fill in details to more align with what we more commonly expect from a given situation.
You may be thinking of Cosplay Pikachu, a unique Hoenn gift Pikachu that has a black mark on the end of its tail.
I’m 100% positive the Monopoly guy had a monocle! I played that game at a very young age and wondered what the round piece of glass on his eye was! This is definitely a shift in reality!

I only recently saw a scene from legally blonde where she was driving down the road in a black car. It was not a video talking about how people remember the color of Ellie's car being a different color it was just a scene from the movie. But when I saw it I personally said no her car was pink. Then later I found out that there were thousands of other people that shared my same view. I was not coaxed into believing something. I believe it because that is how it was.

The Mandela effect that pisses me off the most is the fruit of the loom logo. I remember learning what a cornucopia was in elementary school and when I would see the commercials I would always think “that’s a cornucopia” but then now that was never real? How did we all just add a cornucopia to their logo? I never think of cornucopias in my daily life and I remember when they introduced the people as fruits in their commercials I saw they removed it then.
You obviously saw a cornucopia in some other image or logo and conflated it with the FotL logo. I distinctly remember NEVER seeing a cornucopia in the logo.
Brand logos and names are something we see all the time but rarely closely scrutinize, making them easy to misremember and meld with other images and words we see. The human brain is a highly flawed mechanism.
@@dreamlandnightmare we must be from different timelines 🤷
@@Kassii.Una.Artista Yep. That's got to be it. Couldn't simply be that human memory and perception is flawed. Nope.
Yeah I'd like that one explained too. Like I understand the idea of memories getting messed up or maybe a couple of marketing teams misspelled Berenstain but like where and why did so many people imagine a cornucopia? I just wanna know what might have possibly caused even if it doesn't make any sense just to put my mind at rest.
@@dreamlandnightmare memory and perception actually aren't flawed. The brain works the way it does for a reason. If we registered, analyzed, and remembered every detail of everything we saw or heard we would never get anything done. You'd be spending all your brain function on noticing minute details like the Amazon logo having an arrow from A to Z, or the hidden arrow in the FedEx logo... We have more important things to worry about so our brains only register the important stuff and fills the rest in by itself with things that kinda make sensr
The woman in the 1979 James bond movie who was attracted to jaws, she definitely had braces and no one is able to explain that one, there are loads of people who remember her with braces. That was the whole point of the scene and their attraction, they were attracted to each other because they both had metal teeth. The ending scene wouldn't have worked otherwise, guess what.... The ending scene has changed.
I heard that people interpreted it as her being underage, making Jaws a pedo.
So, they re-edited it.
Oh my God. I remember those braces at that woman! Has it changed now, seriously?
Yes, she definitely had braces. There would be no other reason for them to be attracted to each other as it was their common bond. Ghere is no explaining that away.
Of course!!!! She had braces! I remember it too!!!!
That was in Moonraker

So there would be heaps of pictures in comics with the black tip on the tail?Easy to check.
Yeah I remember Drowing it too . In 2012 I remember drawing it after seeing it on tv , and I remember thinking to myself that I didn’t like the black end on the tail of Pikachu . I couldn’t believe it when I saw it as a mandela affect phenomenon.

If I were running a simulation and I wanted to see if my subjects could handle an event as reality-shattering as finding out they were simulated, I would run small tests to see how people handle coping with shared delusion on a massive scale. Something innocuous, but deeply ingrained. Like an advertisement, or a childrens book. Then the question becomes: Did they pass the test? And, if so, when will they see outside of Plato's cave?
deep
Now what though, are things gonna keep changing, and now, us the test subjects feel confused, like everything is subject to change, nothing is real, and mentally fucked
Okay, because I've been wondering whats the point of changing piddly stuff. That makes sense.
This is the government experimenting this strange phenomenon on the population. They do it on a small scale like movies, music, and video games to see how effectively they can rewrite or remove a past event from our memories.
They try to program our minds to accept this artificial change in past events. Since they have full control over the media, television , education, and movies, I can see how they have the ability to use the Mandela effect for their agenda.
It's not a coincidence that most of the population remember the same event, but can't find any evidence or information on it in the system. I watched the empire strikes back 7 times in the theaters and Darth vader said
"LUKE, I am your father". Not "No, I am your father. They definitely Replaced that line later without letting the public know. They also removed Pikachu's black tip and replaced it with an all yellow end. Again, it's a small scale operation like subliminal messages.
This is the most interesting comment I have read in a long time. I lean more towards Not being in a simulation, but this is certainly a thought-provoking argument for the other side.
The movie lines and quotes can be explained by people misquoting them or being parodied in other medias because out of context those quotes make less sense.
I agree
exactly parodies can't be identical because of copyright
Yap, just miss quotes explains that.
However the Pikachu one is serious
Indeed, I saw a video on the Mandela effect in which they claimed that "Hannibal Lecter _never_ said 'Well, hello Clarice'". They also played the scene from _The Silence of the Lambs_ where Lecter and Agent Starling meet that clearly shows Hopkins politely saying "Good morning".
However, the video in question only specified that he didn't say it in _Silence of the Lambs._ Lector _did_ say the line in the sequel _Hannibal_ (although, it may be the case that the line is _"Why,_ hello Clarice", but that's just pedantic) but the maker of the video didn't mention the sequel. I think this is a bit of a lie of omission and serves to gas-light the viewer into thinking the "mis-quote" mysteriously appeared from the aether.
Nah bro the entire universe changed around me. It’s obvious that it’s some alternate reality, I couldn’t possibly remember anything wrong. I’m always right. It must be that the entire world changed around my experience.

It occurs to me that the error in recalling the Berenstain Bears' name correctly could be as simple as a kind of "neurological autocorrect": fixing a spelling error that isn't really there. Overwhelmingly, names of that kind tend to end in "-stein," as in the names Goldstein, Silverstein, Epstein . . . or even Frankenstein. People's minds simply edit the (mis)perceived error out of the one major exception, without thinking.
I learned how to read from those books. I don't remember them as Berenstain.
a glitch in pattern recognition :) this is the ai teaching us we are just meat computers and its just as much a person as us
NO! I had a million of the books growing up. Trust me, those bears were Jewish
I asked my aunt that bought them why it's pronounced Steen and not stein like Einstein. A very vivid memory that took place. Now why would I ask that if it was stain the whole time?
That is not misremembering. I watched the show quite a bit. The spelling has definitely been changed.
I thought Pikachu had a black tip on his tail, but accepted that it was Yellow after I started playing Pokémon Diamond and Pearl when those came out. That was over a decade ago and it has definitely been yellow ever since. It definitely hasn’t been black since then, as I would have noticed it. Now,… a few days ago my daughter (who is 9) got a Pikachu toy and was asking “wasn’t his tail black on the end?”
She couldn’t have seen a black tipped tail during her lifetime, but still had the same misconception.
That easy to explain I remember always drawing Pikachu with the tip as black but it was a mistake because the. Base was the one with black
Also the ears have black and MOST IMPORTANTLY I think it’s because of the brown spot on the tail like why is it at the base it would make more sense for it to be at the end and to be like the ear tips so we remember it like that
I've found that both the Mandela and the Berenstain Bear incident seem to be most prevalent when talking with people about this.

My niece is a huge Pokémon fan, so for her bday (themed Pokémon) I painted and made a “pin the tail on pikachu” game, complete with 20 pikachu tails. ALL with black tips. This was maybe 5-6 years ago, I even had to buy a white paint marker to write the numbers IN the black tip area. And I used hundreds of online images of pikachu and his tail so I know I got it correct, she’s a major fan and I didn’t want to disappoint her.
She loved it btw. It turned out amazing.
And a little side note on the “Berenstain” bears,
I guess i can see how some can argue a misspelling of ONE letter, however, I know I, and everyone else who loved the book series, pronounced it as “Beren-STINE” OR “Beren-STEEN” …. But never ever heard anyone pronounce it as “Beren-STANE”
which means the original spelling I thought it was is correct…BerenSTEIN.
Would make zero sense for even my teacher to pronounce the name wrong (she pronounced it as Baren-STEEN) if it was indeed always spelled as “berenSTAIN”
I have lost sleep over this stuff lol and swore to my family I will leave it alone 😂 But something happened for sure. Especially for tens of thousand of people, possibly more, all to have the same “wrong” memories and pronounce a popular book series completely wrong.
That's the wierd thing. If everyone remembered something being different, no big deal. But everyone remembering it differently all say it was the same way... that's what makes it wierd.
Because who's surname do you know that's pronounced as "Stain"? Now ask yourself how many times you've heard "Stein" like Einstein or "Steen"?. Mystery solved. Also, Pikachu's tail was never black, I don't remember it as such, and I was obsessed with Pokémon in the late 90s. I also played Pokémon on gameboy and Pokémon Snap on N64. He never had a black tip on the tail. He is often pictured with his tail close to his ears, and both his ears have black tips. Coloring books can be produced by hundreds of companies and either as a misrepresentation or to make it more engaging, they simply added more parts to color! Mystery solved.
I am completely with you on the Berenstein Bears books. I read all of those books to my children as they grew up. I remember wondering if it was pronounced stine or steen, but never stain
This false pikachu memory is waaay older than 5-6 years, his tail was definitely yellow back then, these stories are killing me🤣
The fact that you made the black tails means you saw it and knew it was. If there never was one you never would have thought to create the tail with a black tail tip.
I don't have any answers for what is definitely happening regarding the phenomenon. I do however adamantly hold the position that it is absolutely not a matter of multiple parallel universes. One of the big things regarding the effect is that "residue" is left behind that indicates that there could be some truth to the shared memories people hold. You can find many whole youtube videos dedicated to such residue, in case you're looking for specific examples.
The very existence of residue being an integral part of what makes the effect so compelling is a clear indication that it's not a matter of someone who formed memories in one universe somehow crossing over into another universe where things happened differently. If such a thing were to happen, the new reality the person entered into would not have any such evidence left behind, as it never would have happened the way people remember it happening to begin with.
Quite simply, the parallel universes explanation is insufficient to explain the phenomena as observed. While it's not impossible that the many worlds theory could potentially hold some general truth, it seems impossible to be the explanation for the Mandela Effect specifically, and there's no solid evidence of anyone at any point in history ever crossing into such a parallel world.
I love humans.
"Is it possible you misheard or misremember?"
"PSSSH. NO WAY. Its obviously a glitch in the entire fabric in the world and reality being overwritten, not me."
Exactly, right? It's like we have the opposite of Occam's Razor hardwired into us.
Besides, if the fabric of the universe changed, why would we be aware of the differences? Surely we'd just remember the alternate universe timeline rather than our original timeline version?
Ikr.. This dude insisted that Houdini died drowning and that it's not him misremembering the plot of now you see me
Right?
lol exactly. it could just be mass hysteria
It's more like, "How can many people around the world, who've never met, share the SAME misremembered thing?"
I experienced the mandela effect personally. In 2003 I got a tattoo of a lion's head over the left side of my chest. I distinctively remember it being on my left side because it kind of matched the tribal cross on my left arm. A few months ago i was laying in bed watching tv and had my shirt off and FREAKED to the point that jumped out of bed when I noticed that the tattoo is now over the right side of my chest.
damn thats a hardcore one
Yeah, that would freak me out too!
Nope. Oh hell no. No no no no no. I would freak the damn hell out. I would question everything.
wtf man
That definitely is messed up in all honesty. That is also something way beyond gaslighting.
I've heard of people being around the same people a long time and maybe the person always loved catsup on everything, but then you watch them eat and ask them if they want some catsup. They look at you oddly asking why. I have always hated catsup. That's something that starts to make you question a lot of things, but you sit there now thinking on whether you even know the person or not. Yup.
People make fun of those who have encountered it and yet it goes way beyond just name or logo changes.
I keep seeing a vision. The sky in it is a royal blue color. Someone threw a rock in a body of water causing ripples in the water. The ripples are the Mandella Effect.
I normally don't say too much anymore. I stopped reading the Bible for a long time when verses changed in the KJV version. I could guess at what happened, but it would be a stab in the dark. It is my opinion that those who say this is not happening are potentially NPC's so it is in their "programming" to only say what what they are "programmed" to say. Maybe they are "advanced SIMS who think they are real". (Those who deny the truth are part of the simulation.) It is my educated guess that we may be sitting either in something similar to a super massive black hole or CERN destroyed our world and we are living in an alternate reality. What is real? This world is upside down the way I see it. Our world from which we all came was right side up and somehow we are probably sitting on a "mirrored version of our original world". The world is heading towards its culmination of things. Maybe science was trying to outsmart God or tried to buy more time or maybe they thought they could hide from Him in a simulation they made. Maybe science was attempting to recreate a tower of babel that backfired where people were not supposed to remember things. I'm not sure and cannot prove my theories. I only know that whatever is happening is more along the lines of something supernatural, not misremembering things.
I found an old Fruit of The Loom T-shirt in my parents' loft that I used to wear back in the 90s, and guess what it does have a Cornucopia on the logo.
You don't understand how the effect works..everything changes in the new reality except all the memories of the people that can't be changed. You can find residuals like someone who drew that event as this is a new act of creation even if it describes the one that changed.

The time people are mistaking for Mandela's death and televised funeral was actually a celebration of his birthday that was televised worldwide. I did this experiment with my Bible class. I asked them to put their Bibles away and then write the name of the last book of the Bible on a slip of paper with their name and pass them to me. Then I told them to take the Bibles out again and see what the last book was called. I could see some confusion immediately. I asked how many got it right and almost all thought they did, but fully one half of them got it wrong. The book is Revelation, but many folks remembered it as "Revelations". The ones who thought they had it right but didn't simply wouldn't have been able to admit their error without my slips of paper reminding them what they wrote to begin with. Memory is a slippery thing and not to be trusted. Especially if you place a great deal of importance on being right. It's that intractable nature that makes people insist they are right and believe it so strongly that instead of admitting the mistake they come up with alternate time lines to explain it.
A bday celebration in the 80s. Ohhhhh
Speaking of the Bible, does anyone remember seeing the words “Ope her lap” in the Song of Solomon?
Not when nearly every single avid star wars fan I know and even the actor himself remembers “Luke I am your father”
Nice try.
But there are literally thousands of people who remember his death.
There’s a reason there’s a name for this.
This isn't proof. If you asked them to raise their hands if they got it right I bet most kids would. Due to thinking it's close enough or bc they didn't want to be embarrassed in front of their peers.
Hold up bud. Opening a portal is NOT a conspiracy theory from TikTok. CERN's director of operations Sergio Bertolucci said on the record back around 2013 or 2017 that they hoped to "open doors to other realities thru which they may send something or something might come". That's no conspiracy theory sport. That's documented fact!
I've never been that weirded out about the Mandela effect and im glad you mentioned Biko, because I always felt thats where the mix up came in. However, the one that still confuses me is the Spongebob one where, at the end of the 2004 film, Spongebob's guitar was a peanut and not a triangle shaped guitar like i remembered
Wait, wait, wait, it wasn’t a purple with black triangle guitar?!?!
What it was a peanut? I deff have never seen that version
Yeah I don't find it that weird, it's just cultural misremembering. With ones like the Star Wars & Snow White lines, it's because you hear people referencing it more than you ever watch the movie. So you come to reference the references rather than the actual movie itself.
Other stuff is just confusing two similar things. E.g. Pikachu's tail doesn't have an accent on it, but Raichu's does. So some ppl obviously got them conflated.
What😳
I feel like the Spongebob one is because of his outfit, he wears white, sharp shaped boots and a purple coat, if you'd asked people which guitar would suit him best, most would surely describe the kind of guitar that most remember. The peanut one simply doesn't fit the rest of the outfit, therefore our brains might have exchanged it.
The craziest one for me is Britney Spears not having a headset.
My little sister was obsessed with Britney and we learned her dance moves from watching her videos over and over.
She 💯 had a headset. :/
Yeah I just learned of that one. It would be interesting for someone to ask Britney herself if she wore one.
I remember her having a headset as well!!!!
Def had a headset
💯% she had a headset.
She definitely had a headset. There is also a parody character of her in a video game (the character's name is Courtney Gears) and that character is also wearing a headset.
My brother Luke was named after star wars and I remember very clearly the line “luke I am your father” as does my dad who named my brother and quoted that line regularly throughout my childhood. We watched the movie many times and I remember it vividly.
You can't gaslight me, man. It's always been a beautiful day the THE neighborhood... those memories were imprinted at the same time I was learning language and the clarity with which I remember singing along with Mr. Rogers every day while learning to talk and sing and rhyme is not the same thing as not recalling where I put my keys last night- in this timeline or any other. Psychologists will have to do a little bit better than "you misremembered" to get me to believe I see 5 lights when there are clearly, undeniably 4 of them.
Mr. Rogers definitely said it was a beutiful day in the neighborhood and its a beautiful day in the beautywood. No doubt.
Never thought i would Live to see the day where specifically not lying would be called "gaslighting"
I just went and watched the opening to his show and OMG you're right. He says THIS neighborhood, not THE neighborhood.
I remember specifically them changing Bernstein to Berenstain because the "stein" version was the Jewish spelling and was now offensive..Last names ending in Stein are normally Jewish last names
There are old books and vhs tapes out there with both spellings on them!
Thank you for this explanation
A lot of ME cases were checked - the companies claim they never changed a thing!
True and I have seen proof of The berenstein spelling as well on Old books
But how does that explain the copy of a Berenstein book we kept as a keepsakes from when the kids were little? I distinctly remember the Berenstein spelling, but upon discovering about the ME and this particular one, I went to the bookcase to prove I was right and the ME was twaddle. Except the book, which was the original from when the kids were little now said Berenstain. It's an anomaly I just can't explain.
Monopoly guy HAD monocle, I have Monopoly with him wearing monocle!

I also remember the actor who plays Hagrid from HP passing away. And when i saw the news of him passing away recently i was so confused.
I even remember seeing him in some internet compilation of popular HP actors who have passed away a few years ago

I remember that to.
Yes I remember that too
In my timeline Jim nabors died twice and Betty White died twice.
You know who I remember dying? David Bradley, who plays the creepy caretaker. He died about four years ago. He’s very much alive and still acting.
That doesn't explain literally millions having the same memories, over literally dozens, if not hundreds of examples of these Mandela effects
i think what is happening is string theory stuff...something is converging timelines that are branched so basic memories with the simplest things are not as objectively defiable as they should be a crack in the matrix maybe?
THINGS HAVE CHANGED. !!!
Its easy to explain, shared false memories exist and internet makes it easier,vjust because you don't understand something doesn't mean it doesn't exist, and why do you think "millions of people" is a big deal?
It leans into the "collective unconscious" Carl Jung wrote about, shared 'hallucinations' leading to similar experiences across the planet. That being said, some of these 'effects' are real, I personally have a copy of 'The BerenSTEIN Bears,' not Berenstain, if it truly was always that way then the book in my possession shouldn't exist.
It does. Each of us is not that special and unique. We have all evolved or been created to operate very similarly. That makes people feel powerless and embarrassed and it is hard to accept.
the actor that played darth vader said he remembers saying “luke i am your father” AND at the end of we are the champions, i know for a FACT they said “of the world” at the end😭 no one can tell me otherwise bc i SWEAR even mayday parade said it in their cover of it. this is the one that upsets me the most
You're wrong about We Are The Champions. They only sang "of the world" at the end of live versions.
I'm with you and people are starting to find proof of some of what "we" remember. Ex.... a man found his old Berenstein Bears book! I find it so interesting that that is happening now when years ago, no one could find any proof or "residuals" of their original memories.
Not 'wrong ' just a different memory. I completely remember driving in my car, packed with friends, all singing with the radio to "We Are the Champions". No, I wasn't mistaking a CD playing either because the DJ's would wait for ".... of the world" and sing along too.

Enjoyed this video, as someone who works in science/Healthcare I've always believed the memory consolidation theory...idk it just makes sense to me. So thank you for including this! I'm glad you are able to discuss topics as such whilst accepting that there is no right or wrong
There is a right an wrong, and it is called sin...."But all have Sinned and come short of the Glory of God!" "For the Wages of Sin is Death but the Gift of God is Eternal Through Jesus Christ our Lord!" So yes.. there is a right and wrong and we are all Born into the Wrong of Sin but Jesus died for you so that you can be saved! Let's talk more about the lies of Satan that says there is no right or wrong! You already know that what I speak is true!
Can you also explain why sometimes you randomly remember that you’ve already experienced the random moments in life
Ifs a misfire in your brain where your short term memory gets stored in your long term memory making you believe something you are currently experiencing to be a memory, I used to get it constantly and the same misfire started to give me seizures
Does anybody get deja vu but in their dreams?
(Like if you feel like you already had this dream before)
@RamBoiLol it's caused by a misfire in the brain that confuses your short-term memory with your long-term memory, it causes me to have seizures
I been having that a lot lately. Not dejavu. I used to have that all the time where I had dreams and then they happened. In the past few months I been having normal mundane things going places I never been, having a conversation, with someone but, my mind says "this already happened, you've done this, seen this said this" hard to put into words.
Yeah, for me at least, I have a dream about something and then that ends up happening later in real life and it really freaks me out! @@RamBoiLol
The human brain is really fascinating. Everyday we discover something new.

I definitely remember a few Mandela effects especially The Berenstain Bears. Like so many, I also remember it being the Berenstein Bears.
I so appreciate this analysis because I've thought this for years. The Mandela effect is interesting but it's not like we don't have evidence that memory is very unreliable. Most people believe their memory is better than average and most people are wrong... The only reason this effect bothers people is because they're shown proof that their memory is worse than they think it is. And this video is one of the only ones that admits that we already know what causes this. Its nice for someone to finally platform this.
It's not about people's memories lol
I was an avid video collector, owning over 10,000 movies. I had all seasons of Sex In the City (VHS) in a box stored away. I was embarrassed in front of family and friends, when I emphasized that it was Sex "IN" the City, and NOT, Sex "and" the City. I know I watched for many seasons, I know what I bought, I know what I had. So, I went to my storage room and retrieved the box of videos. I opened it in front of every one and all my damn boxed sets said Sex "AND" the City. Impossible.
I believe it is the lying signs and wonders that would happen in the last days- the Bible talks about it.
I definitely remember the show as Sex IN the City. Wow!! I am sure that would be freaky to remember and then look at the box and see it the other way!
@@kimchristensen9629 Indeed, it's like I'm in the twilight zone. No one gives a valid explanation, other than we're alternating through multiple dimensions. Whatever it is, it's 100% mind blowing..
No way, even in Czech translation it is "sex VE městě" Meaning in city... Would need to be "sex a město" or switched so it would sound better, can be argued it is better catching phrase but dunno seems way of from English meaning
I've always loved sex & the city & in my world, it's always been sex & the city but pple get it confused with a perfume called sex in the city...🤷♀️
The pop culture stuff is what's popular with the Mandela effect but there SO much more!!! History has changed, land masses, bible changes, new animals etc. It goes on and on. Every aspect of life has been Mandela effected
No false memory. The things were supernaturally changed and changed people memory simultaneously.
I swear they’re lying too us. Sinbad was a genie!
You can find the movie on TH-cam
I remember thinking when I saw the previews for the Shaw movie that it was just a rip off of the sinbad movie.
*shaq
I do too.
You can’t tell me I never watched Shazam as a child in the 90s.
It was always Berenstain. I remember vividly saying, " It's weird that everyone says Berenstein but it's spelled Berenstain. "
Me too!!!
You can say a person can make a mistake with a memory that is 100% true but we can’t all collectively, mistaking the same thing that’s not how memory works if we go outside together as the human race and say the sky is green it’s always been green But a few of us say it’s blue. Somethings wrong.
That is absolutely possible according to one of the theories listed on this video. If the human brain is storing similar memories close to each other, it would be more probable that a percentage of people mix up the same facts instead of only one individual.
Steve Biko is pronounced bee-kow. The man is being forgotten by history and deserves our respect.
Not really: his life & death were commemorated back in the 80s in a movie called "Cry Freedom," which was Denzel Washington's breakout role. That very film, in turn, is possibly both how people heard Biko's story AND why they might have conflated it with Mandela's, as this video suggests.
Is that "kow" with an "ow" as in "now" and "cow" or the "ow" in "know" and "snow"?
@@woodgatejack Pretty sure in the rhyming with "snow". Think Peter Gabriel did a song about him, too.

I think a lot of it has to do with humans consuming copious amounts of information at a more rapid speed than other humans in our span of time. More over I think it's movies and pop culture misquoting these famous lines and beliefs that we take as facts. The Chick-fil-a one still gets me though..

In the radio novelization version of star wars , darth vader says "Luke i am your father" a lot of people at the time probably got to listen to it and thats why so many remember "Luke i am your father"

I don't know if it's the Mandela Effect, but lately I've been having problems with my stuff randomly disappearing and reappearing somewhere else.
I left work, took off my wireless headphones, plugged them into a charger, drove home. I get home, park, reach for my headphones, and they aren't there. I look all over the car, check my head, check around my neck, check on top of the car. Not there. I give up and go in my apartment. Go to the kitchen and make dinner, go to my desk, sit down, and take off my headphones. Wait, what? How'd they get here? I don't even remember picking them up. They were just suddenly here again. I can buy me absent mindedly picking them up without thinking, and not remembering, but how did they teleport into the apartment. It just keeps happening, things will disappear from one place and reappear somewhere else.

Everything you remember is true. This is natural. It's how the universe works
Turbines are under on 737 plane wings? And the heart is partially on the left side, but more central, where did you hear it was on the left side?

@ZoranArhitekta no one ever has an answer to why their memory couldn't be flawed, I mean maybe some people are just special😅🤣
Yeah, i have learned that human memory is very flawed. Our memories actually change very often. It kind of makes me sad to think about it. This is why I like to take pictures, I do not trust my memory.
Consider the science of 'Epigenetics'. I found that human memory is 'fragmented' rather than flawed simply because we all genetically inherit sensory experiences to a greater or lesser degree from any and every-one that we are connected to in our bloodlines. Present life experiences will determine when, what, and how those memories or 'genetic files' are activated and then manifested in one's behavior/reaction. Just a thought.
Yes our memory is very crappy! One time I went to a thrift store over a year ago. There was this one room which had fluorescent lights in it, and I could had sworn they had the purplish tinted deluxe cool white “CWX” tubes in them! I even have a clear photograph of it in my memory, but despite this they were just the regular “CW” cool white tubes. I was surprised when I went back in September and noticed no purplish tint. I supposed they could had changed them, but that is unlikely, considering a couple were at end-of-life or burnt out. I have a couple theories that are more plausible. One is that another place I went to, possibly around the same time, did in fact have fluorescent lights with the CWX tubes. My memory could had reconstructed the memory of the thrift store lights with that memory. The lights were also very dim, which is normally a characteristic of CWX tubes. Back then, I wasn’t as experienced in fluorescent lighting as I am today, so I could had easily gone off the brightness alone to determine the type of tube. Then, when I learned CWX tubes are purplish, I could had easily applied that to the memory, already thinking the tubes were CWX.
Fair enough for minor Mandela effects. But if thousands of people remember the same thing VIVIDLY, that logic can't really apply now, can it? One person can mishear or misremember something. One... But thousands? No skeptic to this day has been fully able to disprove the Mandela effect, which really says something. Not completely true, but not completely false in every instance.

To the ppl saying they have items with the “correct” ie pre-Mandela change-KEEP THOSE! Take photos and share them. This is called residue or residual (sorry I’m half asleep) but anyway it is VERY IMPORTANT EVIDENCE!!
To me, the Mandela effect comes from the fact that we live in a video game, and every time the game levels up, certain things are written incorrectly because the programmer didn’t think people would remember little things and simply didn’t pay attention to detail when writing the next level up!

100% Car accidents are a great example. In a head-on crash the cars often come to rest facing the opposite direction of travel they were in before the crash, but eyewitnesses will not remember that. They fixate on the cars after the fact and they lose what they originally saw and change their memory to match what the aftermath looks like.

It was "mirror, mirror, on the wall".
I am sure, because tge fairytale was translated in my language, and it doesn't even make sense that it would have been "magic mirror".
In English, the words "magic" and "mirror" sound a bit alike, but in my native language, "magic" and "oglindă" (which is the term for "mirror"), sound very different.
In my native Romanian 🇷🇴 language, it was translated "oglindă, oglinjoară, cine e cea mai frumoasă din țară?".
The word "mirror" = "oglindă", is repeated in a diminutive form (oglinjoară).
doesn't mean the original wasn't magic mirror. It is very common for dubs to change certain lines to make more sense or sound more pallatable in different languages. Happens all the time in portuguese.
@@OKOK-sr2xg It is also a song from 1996 from Solid Base called also "Mirror, Mirror". They could left "Magic Mirror", cause these 2 words sound quite alike. And in 1996 nobody talked about Mandela Effect.
"Mirror, mirror on the wall
Tell me what I'm looking for..."
@@OKOK-sr2xg Maybe in Portuguese, but Romanians are quite accurate in maintaining even the names of foreign people and places... We don't "romanianise" them.
@@OKOK-sr2xg I want to add the fact that, going back to the originally written book, the lines spoken by the witch were "Mirror, mirror on the wall, Who's the fairest of them all?", so the Mandella effect in this case seems to have occurred at the directors of the film, and we simple people actually remember with certainty that it was so and that the reality we know is based on facts. As we simple people should admit that we are wrong, this should also happen to the most "wise" among us.

0:19 I've said this for years regarding Biko. We had the documentary and movie in 87. Peter Gabriel had the song. Some time passed. Mandela comes front and center. People talk. People associated the two just enough to regurgitate a mix plus if you tell someone something and it passes through five people it's a new story. I remember speaking about them myself and mixing them up. I was 17 and probably stoned when I watched the documentary and movie. You have to remember back then we all saw the same 4 or 5 channels and the film was a big deal so most everyone knew about the them. I'm glad I eventually correctly learned about them though. Biko's story is wrenching.
It's a pretty simple answer when you know the basics of psychology and the human brain functions :) the more someone needs to recall a memory the more details they will get wrong each time something will change when they recall that memory. In fact, the memory we have of something isnt from the actual event- it's a memory of the event that was last recalled but with the newest change of the current recall. We simply misremember and since we have so many stubborn people thinking they know everything they don't realize how wrong they really are :)
Excuse me for calling you bro though when you're clearly a beautiful female. My apologies.
@@tonypittard5116 lol oh you called me bro? No worries idc 😂
@@tonypittard5116 that’s kinda interesting lmao
And tha would make sense if it was a recall, then yea sure fine there would be proof tho. But to say it never existed...... that's just weird. So the oxi guy may his soul r.i.p never said "but wait, there's more? Come on now. How? He said it that was his thing lol. But they say it never existed.

Kit Kat was Kit-Kat. Oh and the new one is The Cheers cast Norm is still alive. He died a few years ago and I remember it on national news with a mug of beer at the bar for Norm in remembrance.
Did anyone remember harry houdini and how he died from a failed magic trick???
yea????
yes
He did. Was at music hall in Detroit
Do you know what the magic trick was??
He got punched
One example that is particular to the UK surrounds the cartoon _Captain Pugwash._
It was a very cheap show, you could barley call it "animated", but it was cute a kitsch about a crew of sailors that looked like pirates.
The received wisdom was that the producers put a few "risqué" jokes in naming the characters, to amuse the parents but would go over the heads of kids watching. These included "Master Bates", "Seaman Staines" and "Roger the cabin-boy" ("roger" being a synonym for "to have sex roughly")
However, the character was called Master _Mate_, "Seaman Staines" was a complete invention and the cabin boy was named Tom.
The best guess is this started off as a parody strip in a student rag-mag, and the joke caught on.
However, there are some that claim that when the they made a new version of it in the late 90's, that the prudish, politically correct, powers-that-be enforced the double-entendres to be removed, even going back over the archives a digitally changing the old shows!
I just literally read your comment to my husband... I didn't know anything of the show as there is an age gap between us but as soon as I said Master Bates he jumped in and said "and Seaman Staines!".. so he is mindblown now that Seaman Staines which he remembers clearly was an "invention"
Somewhere in another universe there are a bunch of people saying nah bro Nelson Mandela lived until 2013, what are you talking about “he died in the 80’s”
I just experienced one a few minutes ago which made my heart drop. I love this song, called “Jealous” by Eyedress. I used to listen to it all the time because of the relatable lyrics, but today I played it again. This morning it sounded normal, but as I played it again a few minutes ago, I knew something was off. I distinctly remember “Why would you want to choose me?”, however, it appeared to change to “Why would you want to be with me?” I don’t know if I’m just tired, or going crazy, but when I tell you I listened to that song so much I knew all the lyrics without looking, I’m not lying. You can only imagine the smile on my face drop when I messed up the lyrics of a song I thought I knew so well..
Wait... I always saw Pikachu with a black tip. He always had it. One hundred percent it's engrained in my head my mom and older brother collected Pokemon cards with Pickachu always with a black tip. I know I'm not the only one.
I don't remember a black tip and I used to draw pikachu a lot.
I drew Pikachu for years. I remember the black tip clearly.
FRRR
My own instance of the Mandela Effect: I clearly remember Spain's victory goal against the Dutch în the 2010 World Cup final being scored by David Villa with a HEADER rather than by Iniesta with a KICK
Wait Wait it was a headed goal by Carles Puyol.
@@peacelove1848😂😂😂
I kinda remember that too…
No, it was definitely Iniesta. I won’t forget how he broke Dutch hearts and then wiping his shirt off and having a white vest underneath
The most logical explanation is "WE DONT NOTICE THESE THINGS BECAUSE WE DONT TRY TO SEE THEM SO WE MAKE OUR BRAIN BELIEVE IT" we just dont notice these things cause we dont really care about them...
I would think that The Mandela Effect is, branch timeline. Playing with Time. That ripple in Time. And effects the group that witnessed one event. And erases or changes a timeline.
Damn I felt like that ain't no way, anyway good explanation
Sounds about right.
exactly! CERN opened up a portal to a parallel universe sending us into it and slightly altering/rewriting the timeline. that’s why no one ever heard of the Mandella Effect until the mid to late 2000s.
dunno... it leaves "artefacts" behind, like Moonraker's Dolly with braces in parodies and (as of lately) no longer wearing them in the movie. If they were never there, it's doubtful they'd be in a parody...
Found an old TV guide list online a while back after the controversy and it was differently spelled "Bernstein"
I've even had the books spelled that way growing up.
When people's memory lapse became a worldwide phenomena
Phenomenon. It'a hard to take a comment seriously when one can't distinguish between singluar and plural.
@@johnkalap9314 Oh, forgive my, your perfectness. What would I have to do to gain your favor and mercy?
The biggest Mandela Effects I have experienced are The Berenstein Bears, The Monopoly Guy's Monocle, Pikachu's black tip tail, as well as Star Wars which I've only watched once and I still remember he said "Luke, I am your father" and I know "mirror mirror on the wall" among several others I have experienced myself.
Yes, those are huge ones for me as well.
Fruit of the loom cornucopia as well!
I clearly remember that in my school we read about Mandelas death. And there was that he died in prison. It was in 2016 when we discussed it. And I still remember his name because I hated this boring topic. And in 2020 I saw that he died in 2013. I am still shocked.
Oh boy wait till you stumble upon unicorns in the bible. The rabbit hole only goes deeper 😂👍
@@faytleingod1851ayo what verses

Also worth noting, after reading the Bible cover to cover three times, unicorns were not there until my fourth time 🤣
@@faytleingod1851 apparently it’s related to the Hebrew word “re’em” which is some mythological creature? Strange only the new King James Version seems to translate to unicorn.

I'm sorry, did you call Stranger Things a comedy musical?
It's always been complete slapstick, with full on dance numbers every episode. Is it a different show in your dimension?
@@kostiemuirhead8187😂😂😂
My cousin was obsessed with the pokemon games. He bought each one up to emerald. I also occasionally watched the show. Pikachu had a black tip on the tail. Eff that, I was there.
The movie lines are the least strange since movies often have different theatrical and home versions.
The movie I am Legend has 2 different endings.
Both were aired on private tv stations. I remember arguing with my family members about the actual ending.
