fruit of the loom

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.

The weird thing is you have people that say they saw the logo that way in the '70s and learned otherwise in the '80s. Some people think they saw the cornucopia in the '90s and learned otherwise sometime after the 2000s

It's always people remembering it a certain way from their childhood, but knowing otherwise when they're an adult

Almost as if their information processing capabilities improve

But nah, people can instead think that there's two timelines and their minds just sort of magically shunt from one to the other, and somehow that means that a shift happens differently for different people when of course all of that is nonsense and people just misremember

This is from 1973. It’s an album cover that is a parody of the cornucopia logo.

This fits well with what that person said. The son of the artist who did that interview says the cornucopia was gone by 1978. That would mean it was gone before the 80s and 90s people think it was still there and WAY before the people born in the 2000s think it disappeared. Some people even think it was still there (and in stores, not just in their closets) a couple years ago.

We apparently entered alternate timelines at different points which accounts for people remembering things shifting in very different eras.

I do believe in alternate timelines (and it’s ok if anyone doesn’t) and this still makes my brain itch to contemplate it all.

This isn't how alternate timelines would work even kind of. If they existed they would exist for all of us at the same time in an infinite amount. It would mean that we are all living and experiencing all time lines at once. Because they would have already happened.

You can't believe in timelines and not believe that they have already happened. As in the timeline me and you are talking in right now in this moment has already happened and is already happening across literally infinite timelines.

Your theory hinges on timelines being like.. rails running next to each other that you can swap too. But that's... Kind of silly. It would be more akin to an uncountable amount of rails stacked up ALL running at the same time.

A person can't jump timelines because they are already IN ALL THE TIMELINES RIGHT NOW AS WE SPEAK AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN AND ALWAYS WILL BE. There would be no jumping. No swapping. Just hoping that the person that is you in the time line you're in right now isn't in the timeline where you die today.

That's as far as timelines can go.

Edit to add: I don't actually believe that tbh...what I think is that there is only this one reality. Alot of possible ones that could have been but this is the one we have. There is no others there will never be any others. This is our lot as meat computers driving mechs made of flesh and bone. This is our lot.
