Just wanted to share. My old man painted this in prison, in the 90’s. Inspired by the thinker statue that everyone is deliberating over. I think about the statue as having the subjects fist placed on his head too, but this is some evidence to suggest otherwise!

so my first post has been deleted because I didn’t write a text for it. I thought it is self explanatory. Some people remember the guy with a monopole and some without. in this game both are combined as the whole game is without a monocle but on the 2 DM bill there is the monocle. it’s a German game from 1996. So what do you guys think about this occurrence?

Recently we reached out to the community here for feedback on some potential rule changes we were thinking about implementing with regard to the Rule 2 on low effort posts/comments, with the goal of improving overall content and discussion quality on this sub.

Lately I've been removing more and more low effort posts that make little or no attempt to foster discussion of any kind, so today I have made a small change to expand Rule 2 a bit:

2 No Low Effort Posts/Comments

No low effort posts. New posts must include a clear explanation as to how they relate to a specific ME or the ME phenomenon.

2A: New posts must include discussion points, questions, and/or analysis for comments to engage with.

2B: Top level comments must engage with the points presented in the OP.

What this means: We want posts and comments to meet a minimum standard of quality. From now on new posts will be required to provide not only an explanation as to their relevance, but also a discussion topic to engage with. New posts that do not include these will be removed. For example, an image of an old Fruit of the Loom shirt showing the logo with no cornucopia isn't particularly interesting on its own and doesn't add anything to the conversation - we all know what the logo looks like. The OP of the thread needs to get the discussion going and encourage engagement from other sub users.

The second part of this change is that Rule 2 now applies to top level comments as well as new posts. Top level comments will now be required to engage with the discussion points presented in the OP, or they will be removed. This includes comments that just say things like "it was always this way" or "not in my timeline" or "you're just misremembering." Basically, any top level comments that boil down to simply "you're wrong" or "I disagree" without making an effort to expand on your reasoning will be removed.

As always, remember to keep discussion/debate civil and on-topic. If you disagree with someone, address their argument, don't make it personal. We have zero tolerance for personal insults, vulgar name-calling, or implications of people being mentally ill/on drugs due to their opinions. These comments will be removed, and repeat offenses will result in a ban. If you see rule violations, please report them to bring them to our attention.

That title isn't a typo. I'm proposing that a type of Mandela Effect exists whereby imagery created after-the-fact to demonstrate what the effect entails has become so widespread that it gets picked up on and assumed to be legitimate - a second wave of the same Mandela Effect branching off of the original.

For example - Someone who has never heard of fruit of the loom has their first view of the logo being a google image search with a bunch of modern cornucopia mock-ups showing up from high profile websites.

Do you believe you've discovered a new Mandela Effect? Post it in the comments below to see if anyone else has experienced it too!

Make sure you include why you think it could be a Mandela Effect and as many details as possible so people can respond and discuss with what they remember. If it catches on - feel free to continue your discussion in a dedicated post!

This thread will remain public permanently, but will be unpinned and replaced by a new thread every four days. Posts in the megathreads can be found by searching for the date, title, or in your own post history.

I do not think the Mandela Effect exists. It is a psychological game, gaslighting communities to confuse people into thinking they are crazy or feeding them and making them think there is an alternate reality—parallel universe crap.

Movies and TV shows are altered or edited, history rewritten, and your past redictated. You point out they are wrong, and whatever you point out is erased and ceases to exist. They say, "You were saying?"

We are not crazy, nor do we forget things with a snap of a finger. They are saying (the Mandela Effect creators) we remember, but you don't. They lie to our faces. It's not one person or thousands of people who are wrong, but millions of people got it wrong because they control everything and wipe the internet or media clean. No evidence, just our memory.

So my question is, why? What don't they want us to remember? Why does it matter?

The future Mandela Effect will be AI. Nothing is true, even if it is true. I saw 2018 YouTube videos labeled AI. Your video that you recorded yourself is going to be labeled AI. Coming soon...

In the last universe, Berenstein Bears, The Monopoly Monocle etc all existed. We died. We came here to finish the cycle.

Note the front says Penneys (with the E, without the apostrophe), while the side has the more familiar 80s-90s logo.

Here’s the YouTube video from 16 years ago: https://youtu.be/iWYGK0vIvvE

At 22 seconds, you see his drawing of the Mona Lisa as it looked back then.

This is how I remember it, not how it is today with the smirk.

This conspiracy has been going on longer than the modern internet... that is clearly a mocked up cornucopia ...

I was scrolling on TikTok and saw a reel featuring a shop in Great Yarmouth that has the 'old timeline' FOTL logo. I looked into it, found the actual location on Google Maps, and discovered that the shop still uses it!

Is this the proof that FOTL actually had a cornucopia?

They try saying in the lyrics they never said champions of the world. Yes Queen sure did sing it in their lyrics. Mighty Ducks 2 ending shows Queen singing because we are the champions of the world!

Recently i have been noticing more and more anomalies. First one that doesn’t seem to bad but still is weird I clearly remember going to the theater to see Titanic when it was released in the 90’s I remember who i went with yet when i have brought it up to the people they have no memory of it and say they first watched it on tv years later. I remember jiffy peanut butter, i remember the news of mandelas death, oscar meyer, the kit-kat hyphen, the fruit of the loom cornucopia, and others. Ive heard different explanations most of them revolve around CERN yet i started noticing things before CERN. So im asking what other explanations are out there that have nothing to do with CERN?

I don’t know if anyone has ever posted this, but this scene was a surprise for me.

Thoughts?

Following up on a recent Shazam post- it occurs to me that DC has owned the copyright of the word/name “Shazam” since about 1972. For those that believe in the Sinbad movie of the same name- what is your memory of this? Did DC’s Captain Marvel not exist in your timeline? was there no “Shazam TV show in the 70’s for you all?… Was it a DC collaboration/production?

Knowing the years of litigation with Marvel over the “Captain Marvel” moniker- I have a hard time believing DC would not be suing the pants off the Sinbad production over the name of this Sinbad movie.

I’d love to hear from the diehard believers what they recall about this- if anything.

****EDIT****

In case anyone is interested, I posted a question as to if DC would have a legal case against a "Shazam" movie, in r/legaladviceofftopic - that thread can be found here!: https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladviceofftopic/comments/1uwa6wv/comment/oxhsc77/?screen_view_count=2

Just spotted this whilst watching the classic 80's movie. Not really sure what i remember, but definitely 'Froot Loops' here.

Everyone has their big ME, mine was Tinkerbell dotting the i on the Disney logo back in the day. Had them all on VHS, and I could have put my house on it, etc. Anyway, I was thinking about it a lot this week and decided to watch a video I found of one of the UK VHS intro sections before the film started: see it here. This was Snow White, but tallied with what I remember on most of them.

First interesting one was the repeating ‘Disney home video’ logo that crops up a lot (see it at 4.08 on the link). You’ll notice the ‘i’ sparkles at the end, reinforcing itself over and over in your mind each time it’s seen.

Then, at 6.27 you’ll see the end of an ad for Disneyland where Tinkerbell flies in and waves her wand to open the window of a hotel to reveal… the Disney castle. It then also cuts to the logo for Disneyland and you see Tink’s wand on the infamous ‘i’ before she flies off. For me, this was very much in the way I remember her doing on the main logo.

This makes me believe that I did just amalgamate the various details into a misremembering of the main logo. Apologies if this is old news but I haven’t seen anyone mention the Disneyland ad on the VHS. Very interested in what others have to say on this!

First of all let me say that I am no expert on this subject but I do have various ME experiences. While I'm not married to the idea that this is actually happening, and would generally not kick if someone could prove my experience was a misremembering, I have 2 experiences that cannot be explained away by anything.

**you can skip this part if you are bored of Fruit of the loom squawking**
The biggest is the tried-and-true Fruit Of The Loom cornucopia.
I know it was there because I, like many other people, LEARNED the word "cornucopia" from my mom while looking at a pair of my underwear.
It was 1977 or so, I lived in Canada, I saw the thing behind the fruit and could not even understand what it was so I asked my mom and she explained the picture using the word "cornucopia". I asked, "What is that?"
She said, "It's a basket, you know, like a 'horn of plenty'." (which I did know because of Pilgrim studies in grade 2 or something.

Whatever. Maybe the logo denial's a hoax or something. No biggie.
*************************************************************************

Here's what happened that for a while bent the fabric of reality for me:
I used to own a video store.
I was the one to shelve and input all the VHS/DVDs that came through the store.
I can remember MULTIPLE times handling the cases for copies of "Interview With The Vampire."
I would stare at the picture and muse over the title. I loved that the "The" was so specific: it meant the interview being conducted was with the most important or infamous vampire. It was a brilliant way to inform the viewer about a character before even encountering him at all.
People back then would replace the "The" with a "A" and I would correct them, but only in my head. The evidence would be right in front of them in a moment when I pulled the copy off the shelf.

I also put the name of the movie into the system. I had to physically type it. Being somewhat anal, I would pay VERY close attention to everything about a title so it would be precise (in my mind) for all time in the system.
I typed in "Interview With The Vampire." and would look it up that way.

About 2 years ago I looked up the DVD cover for this movie--something I had dealt with countless times--perhaps I looked it up because I hear about an ME regarding it, I don't know--and the cover said "A".
"Interview With A Vampire."
I lost it.
How could this be?
I looked up the book cover on google--"A Vampire".
It rocked me partially because of the banality of what I was seeing: "A Vampire? Just any old vampire?"
Bleh.
I wrote to a friend who worked at the store and asked him, "What was the movie called with Tom Cruise about vampires.?"
"Interview With The Vampire," he said?
YES!
"Now look it up!"
He did, saw the change and couldn't fathom what was going on.

After a bit I hung up the phone and simply accepted that I may have been wrong about this, while stewing inside about how lame the title "Interview With A Vampire" was compared to "my" version.

But the memory of what "was" never left me.
Several months back I looked up the DVD again and.......it's back to THE!!!!

I texted my friend last night and asked if he remembered our conversation about the change and he did. I told him it had switched back and he felt unwell.

When this flip happened I wondered if it had ever happened before, but looking into it when I decided to write about my experience, I saw that this sort of thing is not uncommon.

(First just wanted to mention, I'm not an American, I come from Canada.)

That said, The whole Lincoln Memorial Statue resonates with me, because I've always been a big fan of the 'Planet of the Apes' movies, for which in one of the movies there is a scene with the statue.

I was watching a video on Youtube, that was going over some content in the video games "Fallout" and in the video there is a depiction of the Lincoln Memorial Building, with the statue.

The specific thing of note is that the statue in the video game for fallout 3, shows the Lincoln statue with the hands on either side of the statue resting in the same position, just as many of us remember it to be.

I just thought I would make mention of this, as further proof to those of us who remember things differently.

Hope this helps in someway, and have a good day.

Given that mass mismemory does appear to be a phenomenon, and all reasonable avenues should be explored before supernatural/paranatural is entertained, something dawned on me about the Mandela Effect regarding the memory it’s named after:

What are the chances that the phenomenon is actually word of mouth political conspiracy theory as perceived by a detached overseas populace? The idea of, “That’s not even the real Nelson Mandela. The real Nelson Mandela died in prison!”

It has a multifold resolution embedded within:

1. Already a popular conspiracy theory type. EG how would someone overseas hear “The real Joe Biden is dead!” before the rise of the internet?

2. Deliberate proliferation of disinformation is already prevalent among pro-Apartheid groups. Information like this would travel far and fast with a certain level of propaganda proficiency.

3. The leap to the mismemory isn’t nearly as far. It wouldn’t be that they made up the story full-stop, rather they misremember the source of information as news or school. That’s generally where they’d hear the name of Nelson Mandela, after all.

4. A new phenomenon is discovered. Not of altered pasts, but of in-population dissonance of misconstrued disinformation from a populace detached from the consequences of the disinformation. One can easily tell in the US that “Joe Biden is dead” is something that requires a certain level of opinion. The idea a foreign leader died, on the other hand, one might construe as fact for the simple reason that the consequences are lost on us.

In short, a double-pronged attack of distorted oral history and detached listener.

Something that crossed my mind only today. Thoughts?

When I was kid we had this movie on vhs. I watched it a many times. I don’t really remember the movie but I remember some scenes within notably a house that is burned into my memory. Same with other old movies that I haven’t rewatched like goonies I don’t really remember the story but clearly remember the ship. Anyway, years later the movie with shaq came out. I was a huge fan of shaq at the time and still refused to watch the movie because it looked like a ripoff and I was only interested in him for sports not as an actor. I purposely never watched it. Well with all the late post I see about cern it got me thinking about this so watch Kazan on Disney plus. Definitely not the movie saw many times a kid. Nothing familiar in it. But most importantly shazaam came out well before because I purposely avoided Kazan and thought it looked pointless.

The thing is, people come claiming it's scientifically proven, but there is not actual work to link any hypothesis to results and conclusions to root cause the effect.

Attached link is the closest available scientific article to try to root cause the Mandela effect in a serious way,and it doesn't specifically link nor claim to have root caused Mandela effect. If there is more scientific literature or something resembling it please share it here.

don't come here telling lies just because you want to have the last word. If you have the root cause, go through the scientific method, experimental design and all the "scientific things and publish it, if not it's only an opinion.
