Interchanging mind control
Come, let the revolution take its toll
If you could flick the switch and open your third eye
You'd see that we should never be afraid to die
(so come on)

Well Latin does and where do you think Latin words came from?

I think it's much more than that even.

5 pages of Mandela Effect garbage.
JC, are you kidding me with this one?
This is not proof of a "mandela effect".
actually you are making the game much too complex. You can look for "who is controlling things? And why? And how?"
OR
You do it to.
You can learn a piece of their rules and try your best to follow along..
OR You make them follow you.
Latin has more letters/sounds than greek. You are missing the point again. I didn't post all those pictures in greek or latin. spell me a silent N in latin.. What is this lol?
It's funny because I was agreeing with you, but maybe you don't get it.
Neuroscientists have recently shown that memory, especially autobiographical memory, is a dynamic entity that perpetually changes. Autobiographical memories are vulnerable to multiple influences and prone to distortions and deceptions; they are never constant and never result in fully accurate representations. At the same time, however, these changes occur without us being aware of them. Even so, we still attribute belief to memories and view them as accurate representations of our past.
-------------
Cognitive psychologists, who deal with memory, investigate how memory is formed, reconstructed and modified, and in what way it conforms to past experiences. These psychologists presume that memory’s function is to adapt and adjust us to new circumstances, and, as a result, tends to fail in reproducing reality. For these reasons, memory often contains errors, inaccuracy, distortions, and gaps.

Recall or retrieval of memory refers to the subsequent re-accessing of events or information from the past, which have been previously encoded and stored in the brain. In common parlance, it is known as remembering. During recall, the brain "replays" a pattern of neural activity that was originally generated in response to a particular event, echoing the brain's perception of the real event. In fact, there is no real solid distinction between the act of remembering and the act of thinking.
These replays are not quite identical to the original, though - otherwise we would not know the difference between the genuine experience and the memory - but are mixed with an awareness of the current situation. One corollary of this is that memories are not frozen in time, and new information and suggestions may become incorporated into old memories over time. Thus, remembering can be thought of as an act of creative reimagination.

That's sort of also a funny aside. People claiming the memory is fallible are correct, but they forget their memory is also fallible. once a shift happens your memory starts fading into the new reality.
Those who remember dreams better, are much more likely to remember things before a change, and more likely to claim MEs are real phenomena.

Is this really still a thing?
The biggest factor in the "Mandela Effect" is memory. And right there the whole theory or "effect" tumbles right down.
People think that memory is a black and white factual process. In their minds when they recall a memory they are basically calling up a file of a memory and they flip the file open and read it as a collection of facts. This cannot be further from the truth. Every time you recall a memory you basically reconstruct the memory from scratch. And every time you access (or construct) a memory something is changed in the memory. The basic construct of the memory remains the same, but small details are changed.

And many, many, many more similar studies and facts supported by science.
So, I'm sorry to break it to those that believe the "Mandela Effect" is a real thing - but your memory is fallible. And very much so.
There is an "ME". But it's not "Mandela Effect", it's "Misinformation Effect".
It's basic neuroscience, not some woowoo absurd theory.

I agree with you , really, about human memory. But my problem with that academically is that there are too many people reporting the very same memory anomalies.

Oh brilliant! A test: two plus two equals five.
Who are you? Do you say "okay fine", or is your response "WTH? No!"
We're all in danger, don't surrender. Have faith in you.
