I’ve watched thousands of Mandela Effect videos. I am a firm believer in the Mandela effect. I’ve watched many arguments against the Mandela Effect and still believe in it. HOWEVER SIR, you have made the absolute best argument against the Mandela affect I have EVER seen. It pisses me off because every person. Who argues against the Mandela Effect comes up with stupid stupid arguments just screeching “it’s just misremembering bro you are just scared that your brain is misremembering” And I always think they are just so bad at debunking it. However the mental exercises you did in this video was one of the best arguments against it so bravo to you. It’s not often that I compliment someone on their argumentation skills. I still believe in it for other reasons but you made a great video. I’ll make sure to reference it often to make sure I take into account what you said in it I like to get all points of view when coming to a conclusion.
I'm glad you approached it with an open mind! It's important to make the strongest you can for the things you believe, and that means engaging with counter-arguments. I can't rule out the possibility of some real Mandela effects, but there are at least some versions of the phenomenon we can replicate in the lab!
But do you think that Mandela died in the 1990s? 1980s? Give me a break. That's not mass hysteria. That's just ignorance. Ignorance is not a phenomenon. It should be embarrassing.
@@bu1ckgnx - Right. It was FrUIt Loops, not FrOOt Loops. That's the mis-remembered memory. Another one is that I said "Captain Crunch" not "Cap'n Crunch."
My g/f said YESTERDAY that the Mandela effect is just our brains filling in the extra pixels, or whatever you just said, while I'm over here here trying to figure out which star-porting island the Statue of Liberty is on. And now I find this.
This actually sounds like an example of the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon - when you hear about something for the first time, and then suddenly it appears everywhere
I love how people inmediately point out "AlTeRnaTivE REeaLitIes" as an explanation when they remember something different from another person. It baffles me, but the Mandela Effect subreddit is highly entertaining.
It baffles you because you haven’t looked into it or studied it. Many concepts are hard to understand when you don’t study them. Once you look into studies on memory and study the phenomenon itself you’ll understand how strange it truly is and how reality is very hard to explain. It’s ok that it angers you. Often new concepts make people mad.
If it was just tiny details that would be one thing, but there are memories of events surrounding those details. A whole line of events in some cases. And suddenly they didn't happen?
Yeah, but mandela effects are typically things we memorized like quotes & lyrics. Why would one line or one word, the same one for everyone, be different from what we remember? I remember phone numbers from 40 years ago and the lyrics to my fave songs. Yet some of those songs are different now. I saw so many new and old images of donald duck…yet he’s yellow sometimes and i never saw a yellow donald duck. Or pink daisy or yellow nephews for that matter, but they all exist. Someone said your tests were a good example but they arent, they are SHORT TERM MEMORY tests. Mandela effects are from our LONG TERM memory. So these tests are irrelevant. All of these experiments in memory ignore the long term. 9:49 thats the only argument that makes sense but we call these manscuses because most people didn’t see or hear the examples presented. I get that youre playing devils advocate here, but its not false memory. Its not inaccurate memory. Our memories are real. We have even seen things change, on air, in front of our eyes…with the chat seeing it, too.
Fruit of the Loom's logo was the reason I learned the word Cornecopia. I can not accept it was never there. I mean, I wanted to know what that thing was. But that was over 30 years ago, so I wasn't looking at images online of other people misremembering it. I was looking at commercials on tv, by the ad company hired by Fruit of the Loom.
@@ladykoiwolfe It's a common mistake people have made for a long time. If you look at newspaper archives and vintage clothes collectors you can see that there was not a cornucopia.
I'm gonna give a new effect for all of you and want to know what you think! Please comment! Today, I was celebrating the Braves sixth National Division Title, and looked up if Ronald Acuna Jr. could be the next 40/40 guy with 37 homers... and what did I get but an Article saying he has 39 homers with 10 games left... I was like what.... they have 13 games left and he only has 37 homers right now? What the heck? I read it three times and now I can't find it again! What is going on...a time loop? a Mandela effect? This blew my mind and I don't believe in stuff like this. If By Sunday this is true... I will be in complete shock!
I know phonology is most of the explanation, but I wonder if there's any connection to Americans who think they standardly say/hear a [t] in "button," especially when they insist they've never heard it pronounced with a glottal stop.
I think it just has to do with regional pronunciation. Some places will say those t's while other places use that glottal stop. I'm used to hearing two t's. But-tin.
So It's not reality that's changing it's my memory that's changing? That's just lazy bud. First how is a reality created that can support an observer with a memory. Its seems to me that reality is still a mystery
We all died and this is a simulation based on our browser history. We hallucinate "facts" about the world because we are neural network Large Language Models trained on the dataset from the real world because that was the dataset that worked. But the simulation had to be altered to slow down the rise of AI and give us a chance to study the hard problem of AI Safety.
I totally disagree with this. You're going to tell me I and many, many others remember an entire movie that never existed. That almost everyone I know remembers the cornucopia on the fruit of the loom logo and the monocle on the Monopoly guy. There is no explanation for so many people having the same exact memories other than timeline shifts. If it were different people with different perceptions that's understandable. But people having the same memories of historical events that never happened. Yeah, your explanation doesn't address or explain that in any way!
I remember the commercials for Shazam. I remember that the movie was a hit in theaters. And I remember when I saw the first commercial for Kazam come out I thought, "Oh, they're trying to jump on the Shazam money wagon." Why would I have had that thought if Shazam never existed?
It's actually true and it's been on the record. I'm one of those people with various MEs. Not everyone gets trapped on this zone so you're not expected to believe it.
haha lets see if i still remember the words table sit legs desk couch swivel wood recliner edit: oh damn. i compressed sitting and sit into one thing in my brain !! also i must mention that i tried using that thing i keep hearing about. you know, when you try to make a story with the things your trying to remember. it seems it partially worked! one more thing, as someone not american, im amused by the fact that not even americans can remember what their currency looks like XD
Omg! This host is absolutely gorgeous and I totally love his outfit! I want to be with him and never detache😍 The way he eats froouit Loops is so hot and now I'm craving that cereal😋
@@LanguageofMind I highly doubt it! Never say that about yourself. Absolutely not true🥺 I think you're wonderful to look at and be around with and in real life would be so much better to be near you🥰 You did a fantastic job on the video! I like the tone and enthusiasm you carried throughout the video plus you're very entertaining😆😁😊💜 I'm glad you were willing to be in the video and I'll keep coming back this just to admire you. Keep it up😍🤩💋......oh and I'm a Mandela Effect victim. I recently knew about it. I've been incredibly shocked😱

The only problem I'm having with it is it sounds like something he came up with not something that he experience.
Most people have good memories. The problem is that people are committing the wrong information to memory in the first place.
I liked the bit at the end where you were eating the Captain Crunch!
It was Fruit Loops.

Ryan, these are getting better and better. Is there a limit in your creativity?
Thanks Enes!
Thanks for another great video. This was so fun and informative to watch.
We tend to make connections without even fully looking at the subject like mental autocorrect
This is the best video on the subject I have seen.

The contents of the other channel, where were you teaching at the time?.
Rutgers University. I took his class and it was legendary
Great video! I have a video request, can you do a video on morals and ethics?
It's outside my area of expertise, but I can try!
Yeah, but mandela effects are typically things we memorized like quotes & lyrics. Why would one line or one word, the same one for everyone, be different from what we remember?

Would it be a smart idea for Fruit of the Loom to choose a logo that was unusually hard to remember?
It gets us talking about it!

Didn't Nelson Mandela have a big procession when he got out of prison? That might be what we are remembering???
How the hell does this guy have a British accent only when saying Mandela
He's saying it in South African.
I'm kind of joking, but since President Mandela was South African, also kind if not.
Where is the North ice cap?
The bush thing was just his guilt showing because of what he had known
8:28 why bother when it's known
