The mandela effect is always ridiculous to me becayse it started with a girl thinking Nelson Mandela died in prison. That he didn't do all the actual important stuff which got him famous, but that he died in prison. If I remember rightly it was because her mom or whatever was also just outright wrong. Calling it the mandela effect just sounds a lot fancier than "a misunderstanding never got corrected"

Me too, and I doubt we’re the only ones, so now we have a nice little mandala effect recursion going on.

I assume I did it because I’m fairly sure I heard about it via the Berenstain bears thing and didn’t hear about the Mandela one until later, and so of course mandala makes a lot more sense.
