at the very least, they can no longer deny us seeing it a different way, and REMEBERING THE DIFFERNT WAY..... as the evidence shows, we have seen it the way we remeber aferall.... even with the berenstein bears..... we obviously saw it spelled that way. It is spelled that way still everywhere!

Interesting video showing evidentiary examples of various "ME's" many people can relate to.
Apologies if this has been posted already in this thread.
That is the best find yet!!!! Mostly or all from old newspapers. I have to watch it again. The author did a lot of work.
Everyone, please view the video!!
Some will still say we have "faulty memory" or that these evidences are nothing more than the result of a multitude of journalists being incapable of spelling simple and household words and names.
At the end of the day we do not need their permission,validation or acceptance of what we know to be true.

It really sucks sifting through all of their garbage to connect with others.
It feels like going to a counceling session, with your bully right there, interupting every 2 seconds, so you can never really get anything off your chest!

Let me be the one to ask you a few questions for a change. Seeing as how you equate full assuredness about certain remembered things with a declaration of having a "perfect and infallible" memory, do YOU:
use a GPS navigational system en route to every place you travel to; nearby friends' or family members' homes, your local grocery store, your bank, your workplace, etc?
No.
If not, why not?
Because reliance on GPS dulls one's navigational skills. When travelling to a new destination, I consult a map. A map is a form of stored visual information, compiled by others and therefore objective. If it has been some time since I have visited somewhere, a nearby suburb I haven't visited since childhood, I also consult a map. Why? Because I know that I may have forgotten the route, not having traveled it recently. Also, streets and highways are sometimes closed or revised, so I consult a recent map. As for my commute to work, there are times when, due to road closures or traffic jams, I decide to take an alternate route. This is when my navigational skills come into play: I know which major arteries run in which direction, which tend to be more heavily trafficked, etc. I also know which neighborhoods they pass through. If I am not in a hurry, I will actually detour just to revisit a neighborhood I haven't visited recently just for the joy of seeing how it has changed.
Do you have to pull out a lyric sheet to read from every time you sing "Happy Birthday" to someone?
Only if I need to sing the second or third verse.
If not, why not?
Because the lyrics and tune are very brief and redundantly encoded. Also, this tiny packet of information gets repeated frequently over time. Now you admit that you didn't know there was more than one verse. That's not due to a warp in spacetime... it's just that hardly anyone ever sings them so you didn't know they exist!
When talking to long-time familiar friends, acquaintances, and family members, do you first verify their names before addressing them by their names?
No, I pretend I remember their names even when I can't quite remember them.
If not, why not?
Because I don't want to create social embarrassment.
I am rather looking forward to what tactics you will use to duck, dodge, evade, twist, and manipulate this. I know you're quite creative in that way.
Not nearly as creative as you are. Now, once again, why do you think there is anything other than faulty memory, inattentiveness, or lack of interest/education involved in the "Mandela Effect" you have been trolling?
Gregory Hines himself would be impressed with this tap dancing!
Let me give a healthy synopsis of what has happened here. You have put forth the (nonsensical) premise that anyone who remains fully confident in certain memories is somehow claiming to have an infallible and "Godlike" memory. Those are the words you have used, which all can see, and you own that.
Hence, I asked you three questions that are clearly based upon the notion of ingrained MEMORY that you have full certainty of. But, knowing that if you answered the questions honestly and directly, you would fall under the self-indictment of claiming to have an infallible and Godlike memory (according to your own trollish logic), you instead danced.
So the first answer was dodgy from the start. Instead of confessing that you don't use GPS to get to your job, or bank, or local store because you confidently REMEMBER how to get to those places, you blather something about not using GPS so that it doesn't dull your "navigational skills." (Do you regularly compete in some sort of navigational skills contests that you have to stay sharp for?) Then you veer way off course (pun intended) and start talking about traveling to new destinations, when the question dealt strictly with familiar, regular destinations.
Then, when talking about commuting to work, the topic suddenly becomes alternate routes due to construction! And then you go on to talk about taking the "scenic route" to reminisce about the good old days. What does any of this have to do with the question asked?
I don't know about your navigational skills, but your bait and switch tactics need a lot of refinement.
As for the HB lyrics, you made an interesting shift trying to put me on the defensive about not knowing about extra verses to the song, to avoid the clear implications of the fact that if you were to admit that you don't need a lyric sheet to recite the words to the conventional rendering of the song, you are admitting that you have full confidence in the MEMORY of the words. Which would again cause a self-indictment that you are claiming an infallible, Godlike memory.
I find this highly entertaining, and I truly hope others have been following along our discourse here, to see the tactics being used.
anyone reading what he said for themselves will probly laugh quite hard seeing you write that right under that post! Lmao!

You love his gapped logic? Really? You do realize he looks like he can't comprehend basic logical premises right?
no, there used to be a ton of depends jokes, and the comecials were hilarious.

So you wear and buy depend diapers enough that you are positive how it was spelled?

This has got to be one of the best replies to a troll I have ever seen!
I love your logic! You are an inspiration. You just steer right back to topic, I need to learn from this! Thank you!
I am seeing excessive trollery to be a huge part of the mandela effect.

Attempt at bullying? Boy you really wear the victim complex well.
I was asking a legitimate question to make a point. You have zero reason to be absolutely sure how it was spelled. You're relying on old memories and yet again are assuming your memories are correct and the physical evidence is wrong.
You even admit you couldn't even see the writing through the bag. You should read your posts out loud.
The definition of insanity, is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results!
