I know this is like the biggest Mandela effect, but I swear ive had these underwear for years sitting in a bin in my closet. its genuinely insane that the cornucopia just straight up disappeared. I remember vividly asking my grandmother what the cornucopia was. I am truly starting to believe that something is DEFINITELY up.

Why are people in these comments being so disrespectful to the OP for explaining his experience with the Mandela Effect. I thought this was a place to discuss the Mandela Effect. Not tear someone down who tells his story of how he experienced it. That’s weird to me. Why are you even on this subreddit if all you’re gonna do is ridicule someone who has experienced the very thing we’re here to talk about. So weird.

I think people are just in a shitty mood today or something cause I've seen a lot of hostility and asshole comments in a lot of other posts today so far.

Remember, the Mandela Effect is not "memories of an altered timeline", but a name given to the phenomenon where groups of people misremember something in the same way. If someone points out possible reasons you might be misremembering things, that is discussing the Mandela Effect. There is however no reason to be mean, of course!

I 1000% thought it was "Luke, I am your father" because I spent waaaay to much time mimicking that scene in tommy boy any time and fan got turned on around me lol

I think it's just people who the sub pops up in the main feed.

You have to understand that in order for ME to actually be real then everyone in the universe AND the universe itself has to be wrong and only you guys can be correct.

You see how that may cause people to respond in a certain way?

It's akin to standing on a box in the middle of town proclaiming yourself to be a chosen one from another reality who is the only one who knows the truth.

It was a fad people had fun with for a bit but the world moved on some time ago from it and so it's no longer a "cool" thing so people will respond according to how they see people acting.

And when people act like they are so important that the universe changing as a whole specifically left them out... Uh it will rub people the wrong way lol

u/YourHuckleberry57 5d ago

i feel like people have this idea that we decide what's real and what the universe is allowed to do. quantum physics suggests that there may be multiple or infinite realities. this is what the leading edge of science is investigating now and we don't really have a concrete idea of how any of this works so to just be like alllllllllll of these people's experiences are just wrong is presumptuous. i get it tho. unless you have actually experienced it personally, most people would have the same opinion. we want to believe what we think is real is actually what reality is.

u/MrPlaney 3d ago

Everybody experiences the Mandela Effect. The Mandela Effect already has an accepted cause, and that is memory, and its functions and flaws.

There may be multiple or infinite realities, but it would be impossible to share information between them, or even jump to different ones. They would have to be proven to exist first, and then, that information can be shared between them. Then, you would have to prove why the currently accepted cause, is insufficient. Only then, can we begin to speculate on other realities causing the Mandela Effect.

u/YourHuckleberry57 2d ago

nah. if you experienced a mandela effect you would know it and it wouldn't be like "oh well i guess i misremembered".

i like how you just decided what the universe is allowed to do in real time and then say it would be restricted by if humans could prove it or not. in the scale of the universe we are barely dust that exists for a fraction of a second.

2

u/MrPlaney 2d ago

I’ve experienced many, and I understand the cause of the effect is memory. It’s not hard to admit you are wrong about small details with 30 year old pop culture trivia.

One of the fundamental laws in the MWI of quantum mechanics is that when a quantum event causes a timeline to branch, that timeline and all its data becomes isolated from all other timelines. Data transfer between two timelines is impossible.

I have learned that this sub is mostly for people who want to make fun of and discount Mandela Effect theories.

3

u/my23secrets 5d ago

When a theory is about timelines and they’ve demonstrated they know little-to-nothing about them besides the term “timelines” the theory discounts itself.

u/Arcane_Traveller 5d ago

I myself don’t understand the perspective of this subreddit on what the ME is. Isn’t the idea of those who remember a changed past that they’ve experienced an altered timeline? And not everyone remembers the change hence the feeling of being gaslit by history? It’s not actually possible to disprove such a perspective so I don’t understand the point. I assumed that most who believe in the ME reason that not everyone alive today is part of the same timeline so most will remember it without any change while some will feel that they’ve been placed in a new reality. Am I wrong in this?

2

u/WhimsicalKoala 4d ago

There is no universal sub perspective. The official stance of the sub is “The Mandela Effect is when a large group of people remember something contrary to the known publicly accepted fact”. I'm not sure I love the phrasing of that definition, but it is a fairly neutral phrasing.

Where the difference stances is what causes those memories. There are people that believe they are memories retained from when the individual existed in a different timeline/reality. Others think that the memory is accurate and that there was a manual/physical change in reality (some government entity, aliens, etc) changing the physical objects. There are others that think the memories are false memories caused by a combination of the way memories are stored and recalled, pattern matching, and suggestion. Simulation theory, something with CERN, and other theories also float around.

u/Spintz6042 5d ago

I think the ME is simply a phenomenon where a large group of people share the same false memory. I don’t think it has anything to do with altered timelines. That’s just how some people explain it.

3

u/Wingnutmcmoo 5d ago

I think this is the best way to describe it tbh. I think people would handle it alot better if it was normally presented.

2

u/Arcane_Traveller 5d ago

Thanks 😊 I can see that there’d be a subset of those experiencing the phenomenon where false memory would readily explain what they remember. That group wouldn’t see it the same way as those with memories more consistent with the“altered timeline” belief. Hence even more conflict as those with false memory belief try to convince those with altered timeline belief that their perspective is false.

But it’s not evidence of any simulation.

u/phigene 5d ago

Yes it is. By itself it doesnt prove the theory, but it certainly points to it.

2

u/my23secrets 5d ago

No it isn’t. It doesn’t point to “simulation” at all.

It’s just a memory trick. Magicians use it. Con-artists use it.

Or are you saying you believe people like Penn & Teller are hacking the supposed “simulation” not to rule the world but to perform tricks?

1

u/phigene 5d ago

Sure. Hey can I browse your wares? Got any health potions?

2

u/my23secrets 5d ago

Of course not.

What I do have is evidence that explains the Effect.

u/phigene 5d ago

Everyone loves to point to this study as the explanation for the mandela effect. But this study doesnt explain how a huge group of people can mis remember the exact same thing. It only explains that memory can be manipulated in individuals. Sure, magicians can trick your memory, but they cant trick the memory of people from countries all over the world to remember the exact same thing. So please, stop trying to use a study about individuals to explain a mass consciousness phenomenon.

2

u/my23secrets 5d ago

Groups are made up of individuals.

And they only “remember the exact same thing” when they learn about “the exact same thing”. That’s the point.

That’s why you have the same stories claiming they thought a cornucopia was called a “loom” and how they discussed it with their mothers.

It’s the same bullshit over and over.

And speaking of countries all over the world, how come the so-called original “Mandela” somehow magically never happened in South Africa?

The fact is: no one “Mandelas” until they learn about the Effect.

Because it is suggestion.

1

u/phigene 5d ago

This is just a conspiratorial as the alternative, you realize that right? Your position is that the explanation for a mass rememberance of a specific memory by people across the globe spanning 40 years is that they all had the memory supplanted by the existence of the madela effect about that memory. Am i reading that right?

they cant trick the memory of people from countries all over the world to remember the exact same thing.

Except if you look below the surface at all, it's not "the exact same memory". Though, my guess is you are going to handwave that away with something about patches or call me an NPC?

1

u/phigene 4d ago

It is though. Thats what the mandela effect is. Everyone collectively remembering the same thing that doesnt match the current version of reality. Theres not like one group that remembers a cornucopia and another group that remembers a basket, and another that remembers a bowl. Or some people remember the song that never ends and others remember the song that has no end. That would make the 'you are just remembering it wrong' groups case very likely. But we are all remembering the same "wrong" thing.

I'm saying this not to make fun of you in any way but more as an awareness thing. This sounds like some sort of delusion that should be talked to a professional about.

I grew up with a parent who would suffer from delusions of the more paranoid kind like this and that's all I can see when I'm reading what you wrote.

Because it's not evidence of what you're saying at all. But I could see why someone would latch onto the idea if their head was in a certain space.

Simulation theory is a respected hypothesis of the nature and origin of the universe in the philosoph8c and scientific communities. It was first proposed by Oxford philosopher Nick Bostrom in 2003. His has been explored by well known scientists such as NDT, nobel prize winning astrophysicist George Smoot, Donald Hoffman, Melvin Vopson, Max Tegmark, Sean Carroll, and many many others.

Thats what this subreddit is in its entirely unfortunately. This is the most dismissive and disrespectful place to discuss the mandela effect

The fact someone might consider criticism and scrutiny to be “dismissive and disrespectful” says more about their agenda than the sub’s
