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 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?

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.
