April 2016 Mandela effect list of memories vs reality

a reply to: hidingthistime

Fella is a generic term

So you would completely discount the fact that the Gall–Peters projection map and the difference between it and a globe could account for conflicting memories about the geographical nature of the world?

Yes, i found it myself a while back and tried to do an AHA! In the austrailia thread, and then looked deeper and realized it was still no where near the old memories....

I am not discounting the Mandela effect, I clearly remember Christopher Walken dying and he is still alive, I also remember that Kevin Spacey played the role that is now played by Edward Norton in fight club.

I just think that a lot of geographical anomalies can be put down the map vs globe issue.

But the Tiananmen Square man, I remember not being run over, as many do (gross scene of being run over). I remember the media making a big deal as to what 1 man could do against an army of tanks.

your ruse collapses, tank man never did get run over, unless you change your story, no network, globally would show a guy being mown down by a tank at prime time in 89.
if you honestly believe the other stuff, your memory is on its way out, probably early onset of alzheimer's, get used to dropping stuff.
tape it and put it on youtube, we can all laugh at you along with the idiot you posted.
if you can remember.

I always believed in the Mandela effect and I am certain it was Berenstein Bears but a lot of the ones in this thread are just incorrect. New Zealand is where it always was. Kevin spacey wasn't in fight club, Christopher Walken never died but I swear Billy Graham did and Nelson Mandela died three times in my memory.

I'm not sure if this fits into the conversation, but about a million years ago, when I was in elementary school, my best friend and I would occasionally play Crossbows & Catapults. This is what the game looked like....



If you look at the square tiles, they each have a different image at the center. I swear to you, with my friend as a witness, those images switched with each other more than once. It freaked us out then as it still freaks me out to this day, now that I think about it.

I guess Big Mc wouldn't make much sense lol

You did not read my post. I said I remember him NOT getting run ever. And, laugh at me all you want, because alot of us laugh at people like you, with the rude, snarky comments.

The most recent change I noticed is the public restrooms. I distinctly remember the woman's room would be on thw left and the men's the right. It was ladies first. Now it's men on the left and woman on the right.

The ones that drive me nuts the most are Sex IN the city. Berenstein, And the prince song, it WAS "celebrate" d@mmit! Ugh! Get through my butt. Lol.
a reply to: ScubaGirl

Any Mandela effects outside of US brands, pop culture etc.? I'm looking at my own country's brands and not really seeing much that stands out as 'changed'.

Getting non-US, non-Western versions of the effect would be the next step in 'proving' this phenomena.

I don't buy the "definately/definitely" and "dilemna/dilemma" effects (due to tendencies in the english language), but who knows.

I grew up in the late 80's early 90s and remember Carmen Sandiego always having a red trench coat, from the tv show to the computer game. Altho I think I have been tripping around different but very similar realities for some time now, cant prove it except for some memories not lining up.

[M] people admitted they were wrong [R] berens**** bears threads

Well i can tell you for sure the place of New Zeland has changed... Like what the fk messed up thing you have to do in the past to move an entire island >.>

Check out the Mediterranean sea now..... spain is nearly touching morocco, and there used to be an entrance to the sea the size of spain, italy is nearly touching greece, and on a complete angle, it is wayyyy different there now too.

Didn't Obama once state there were 52 states in one of his speeches. He and these others must be from the same time line. Maybe he brought people with him for their votes.

haha, I do remeber 52 states my whole life and no less, because on the flag, they would do 4 rows of 13 stars.... so I guess with 50 it is how? I need to look at the flag now, lol.


Ok, 5 rows of 10, fits better and looks nicer I must say....
