I'm watching Elf getting into the Christmas spirit (idc that it's November it's Christmas time lol) I LOVE this movie & have watched it multiple times a year since I was a kid, I always have subtitles on for everything I watch too so I don't think this can just be chalked up to me not hearing it correctly but the woman Buddy meets in the toy department at Gimbles and falls in love with is named JOVIE?? I could've sworn all these years it was Jamie, I can hear them saying it in my head and Jovie is such an odd name (to me) I feel like I would've noticed it and commented on the name before this ? I'm so confused and can't find anyone else pointing this out online

Does anyone remember it being Jamie or was it always Jovie?

This was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid in the early/mid 00 and I always remember it being Uncle Jesse and Uncle Joey I don't remember Joey being related to them the kids just called him that. I watched an episode yesterday and the kids just call him Joey. I can't be the only one who remembers this

I distinctly remember my friend crying about it and now I'm seeing he is just retired ? Wtf is happening to me? It was probably in 2010 to be clear.

Hey y’all, love this sub. I myself am from the timeline where the fruit of the loom had the cornucopia and I will always remember the cornucopia.

This may or may not be a Mandela effect, and the rules about “things being misremembered” is always a little weird. I have a distinct memory that I saw many times about Rick and Morty. It’s a small detail but I was just watching the episode again and it always confuses me.

It’s in season 3 episode 1. The alien says something about a 9/11 memory and the way I remember it is it zooms in on Rick watching 9/11 on the tv and he’s freaking out saying “they hate our freedom” or “it’s because they hate our freedom” I watch the episode again a few years ago and that’s not how it happened. The scene is barely in frame and he says “as an excuse to strip away our freedom”. Always thought the first was funnier and it was its own “scene”

I know it’s such a small detail but I remember watching the scene on YouTube a few times.

My parents both remember her dying 20 years ago and told me about it today. I think they fucked with our timeline and gave America fascism, which will lead to WWIII coming for us much sooner, and which will lead to ever-increasing and ever more severe environmental disasters. Why can’t we have our normal timeline back??? Why are they forcing us to suffer like this?? Fuck u timeline editors I am soooo pissed since learning this! Thoughts everyone?

Back in elementary school we had a taxi driver who we bunch of kids paid to take us to school and back every day. I very clearly remember "OBJECTS MAY BE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR" on his side mirrors. I also remember it because English isn't my first language, and in elementary it wasn't that good, so I was struggling with complex sentences. Thus I remember thinking every time I sat in his car "what does this sentence mean", before asking my dad and figuring out (dad's car didn't have that).

Fast forward 11-12 years (for which I've treated this text as default), I discovered this sub. Honestly I don't really connect with Shazam, or Berenstein, or FoTL, they weren't part of my childhood. But when I saw the post about this I was completely shocked.

I don't believe in supernatural stuff, and I concede the fact that it's been ARE all along. But worth looking at it - why do we remember something so simple in a specifically different way that's common to everyone. Surely not a big coincidence.

Sorry for the unclear title, but I am so confused, flabbergasted and for the first time in my life, believe that I'm currently in an alternate timeline.

I'm a college student and for our group project on discourse ethics, we decided to have an interactional mini-mun with the permanent UN security council members. While making some placards/ signs for the project, I saw china on the five UNSC and so I kinda chuckled and said that's japan not china. My friends looked at me weirdly and was like what you talking about?

I started talking about how japan, russia, US, UK and France are the permanent UNSC members, and they were like obvsly no.

It was then I was confused, because i distinctly remember through many different occasions in my life, I remember that China was never part of the UNSC because of the scheming and the shit between them and the west. Japan was the only eastern country there, even though it was an axis power, because the UNSC wanted to be seen as neutral and therefore took in a country that was fucked over by the nuclear bombs, had american bases and the poverty at the time. I don't know how but I have my whole life turned upside down, because I always always remembered Japan as a powerful country.

I don't know what to say, just decided to share this in case I can meet a fellow timeline traveler.

I remember exactly what they looked like before and after and even remember tweets mocking how the once hot girl turned into a not so hot guy! The only reason I noticed the change was when Elon commented on how his son transitioned. This is crazy.. I remember what they looked like and even saw the tv interview! It’s all wiped and changed. I even remember thinking she gave up being the daughter of Earths richest person!

In the timeline that I recall, his eyes were blank.

So it's been a few weeks since I watched Beetlejuice 2. I'll try to be as spoiler free as possible but can't be totally spoiler free or there'd be no post.

The character of Delores in BJ2 has her body parts in pieces and she has to put herself back together and staple them in place. All throughout the movie, I'm thinking, "OH, this is an Easter egg/homage to Tim Burton's Corpse Bride cause I totally remember her having scar or staples across her face." Everybody I've talked to remembers that too until we look it it up.

In all the internet searches we've done, she doesn't have any staples or scars. Then somebody said, "Oh, you're thinking of Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas." But looked her up too and while she has parts, she doesn't have staples or a scar bisecting her face.

We simply can't find anywhere a female halloween character that has staples on her face. To this day I and several other people I've talked to would swear that there is a claymation Tim Burton character out there that Delores is based off of that has a face scar and/or staples.

Does anyone remember Corpse Bride or Sally ever having a face scar or staples at any point?

Hi everyone.

I don’t know if this belongs here or not so I’m posting anyway.

I am 30 years old from the UK and I clearly remember growing up there were at least 4 flavours of Fanta. Orange (in an orange coloured can), Lemon (in a yellow can), Fruit Twist (in a reddish can) and Summer Fruits (in a purple can).

My brother is 16 months younger than me and grew up eating and drinking pretty much the same thing and he does not remember at all the Summer Fruits flavour ever existing. He says the purple can has always been Grape.

Is it even a real flavour or am I imagining it?

I’m watching a movie with Jason Gould (Streisand’s son). Hopped onto Wikipedia to check the year he passed away - an event I remember, but can’t remember when.

So, he isn’t dead. Great news! But I’m freaked out. I was SURE he had passed away. Am I alone? Have I got him muddled up with a step sibling? An overdose that he recovered from?

Do you believe you've discovered a new Mandela Effect? Post it in the comments below to see if anyone else has experienced it too!

Make sure you include why you think it could be a Mandela Effect and as many details as possible so people can respond and discuss with what they remember. If it catches on - feel free to continue your discussion in a dedicated post!

This thread will remain public permanently, but will be unpinned and replaced by a new thread every four days. Posts in the megathreads can be found by searching for the date, title, or in your own post history.

Is it just me or do I remember a remix of this song but it was the minions VA singing it, maybe i just cant find it.

I swear I remember talking about him dying with my mom at least a couple years ago but I just looked it up and apparently he just died in 2024?

Towards the beginning of The Strangers (2008), which line do you remember?

"Is Tamara home?"

or...

"Is Tamara here?"

If you watched the movie please let me know as I've only seen clips here and there. But one of those clips is of Johnny Knoxville unable to control his laughter after a fellow actor says " when the fuck did we get ice cream." I clearly remember it being one of the special needs actors saying this line which was unprompted which led Knoxville to laugh. But now it seems it's another actor who delivers the line and Knoxville laughs. I remember it because it made sense, the special needs actors would say something not scripted which would make him laugh as opposed to the other actor saying his line. This is one of those Mandela effects that I will die on lol. So many other ones I've been ok sure you probably didnt remember it correctly but I know for a fact this happened. Can anyone else confirm? Maybe I saw a edited version of it or something?

I’m sorry WHAT apparently its daylight saving time and everyone keeps saying they know it was savings this whole time…did they change it on us? I swear we got catapulted into a new timeline over the weekend.

Ok so I know i'm going to sound crazy, but a while back ago there was this meme where there was a fake category called shmunguss on netflix. (https://www.tiktok.com/@fembasecom/video/7206978776201317637?lang=en)

It was debunked as a joke and a fake.

BUT

I distinctly remember seeing it in the app.

I didn't know it was a meme, and at the time i didn't really follow along with stuff like that on the internet.

I didn't watch anything, just briefly scrolled and went on with the rest of my day thinking it was just some weird joke by netflix.

And apparently the meme was posted in 2023, but I saw it on the app years prior. (unsure of how long ago but some time in the 2020s)

(for reference, I don't mean that the meme as a whole is a mandela, I meant that it was weird that I saw it in the app itself.)

I've tried looking this up and have got nowhere. The other half and I remember this documentary. I think I remember seeing it on the Internet, and she watched it on (British) TV. It was about this Asian Guy who was doing all sorts of experimentation on a boat in international waters. One of the experiments my other half distinctively remembers is one where he "successfully" created a cat-dog hybrid. She only remembers this due to the show cat dog being one of her favourite shows as a kid. Bearing in mind this is going back to at least between 2005 - 2007. Not sure if this will go anywhere 🤔 not sure if it's even real, to be honest. Some premonition on something to come maybe? Who knows 🤣

Okay super weird. Me and my Sister were watching a Mandela effect video and the one about the SpongeBob movie scene with guitar at the end came up.

We both are fond with the Mandela effect and remembered that people though it was a peanut guitar but it was actually a normal white guitar.

But apparently, it's always been the other way round? It's always been a peanut guitar. We both thought that was the Mandela effect, that everyone thought it was a peanut and it wasn't. It's seriously messing with our heads.

Anyone else experiencing this?

My coworkers and I were discussing colors and this one came up. Most of us remembered it as a shade of red. One person googled it though and it showed up as yellow/green. Has anybody else had anything like that happen with this color?

I hate that Fionna Broome ever invented the term "Mandela effect"!!! Apparently they were called "False Memories" before 2008/09?!

Anyway... It brings up arguements when talking about Cern... Cause "Religion and science can't mix" And "YoU CaN'T be a ChRistIan and believe in ThE Big BaANG!"!😬😬😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭 Also.. How do y'all not see the Cern conspiracy theories are scary?!!!?

There are loopholes in ME: So, if you have a picture of a picture, it can't be Mandela Effected, i.e. Kennedys white convertible 4 passenger Lincoln Continental of if you remember the late beautiful Marilyn Monroe thick and voluptuous wearing size 18-20.

....🙄btw the new ME Marilyn is always a size 0 and her mole is in a completely different place. Luckily I have a lot of her residual residual pictures on my Instagram they haven't taken down yet.

(also if you're looking for something on Google and you want to see it the way that you used to see it say: Residual residue Jiffy or Residual Residue Sesame Street or residual residue whatever you're looking for and it will pop up the way you remember. Also do not use this knowledge as a weapon to disprove others who remember a different way, you have to keep in mind that they are correct also, this knowledge is so you can use it to know that you know you remember it the way you remembered it for You.

I recently rewatched the polar express with my son this week (it’s been at least 10 years since I’ve last seen it) and one of the final scenes in the movie is bugging me so much because I swear it was different when I was a kid. Near the very end of the movie there’s a scene where the boy wakes up on Christmas morning/after the polar express dropped him off, and he quickly grabs his robe after jumping out of bed. The pocket on the robe catches on the bedpost and a bunch of marbles fall onto the floor; HOWEVER, as a kid, I vividly remember the marbles being bells, like the exact bells on Santa’s sleigh that are shown earlier in the movie. The bells had red ribbons on them and jingled when they hit the floor and everything, I can picture the exact scene. Did my brain make this up or does anyone else remember this? It’s driving me crazy!

I still can't get a memory out of my head. When I was younger I was passionate about space and space exploration. Excluding faint memories of immages showing how bigger is mars by overlaying eearth on it I remember calculating g force on Mars. The result was 13. Something. This exercise was done due to my question to physics teacher why not build a base on Mars. The answer was that even if it's closer to the belt and Jupiter moons , aditional gravitational pull would consume more propelant, then balding the exploration base on moon and have the extra distance.

First time I realize that something is off is when I heard Musk about creating a city on Mars, he was stating that would make exploration easier and would double the chance of humanity survival. In my mind I told myself: " How this is possible with the extra G we got there, what a moron " . Then in another interview he says because Mars is smaller then earth and I like wtf , checked on internet and indeed smaller, books too 🤷‍♂️

I just went on the Wayback Machine to see how the Bandcamp website was in 2014. The logo is the same as it is now. I'm sure there was an older version of the logo that was less minimalistic, but I can't find it! Not even looking at a website snapshot from 2012! Didn't the older logo have an upper case 'B' and two diagonal, blue lines instead of a whole rhombus? Something like that?

1: Misheard lyrics.?

Example : Boom boom pow

Panic at the disco..

2: Uknown info.. The duracell bunny

Black tom explosion

Svalbard..

Donner / Blitzen aka Dunder and blixem aka thunder n lightning

3: How we say things

Up on the housetop/rooftop

How the grinch stole christmas / The grinch who stole christmas..

Just sayin.. People do edit shortcuts and mishear..

So... Fiona Broome coined the term "Mandela effect" in 2009.. Since then, people have said Cern ended the world December 21, 2012.. My question.. Where is she?! Does she know people are saying this? Why doesn't she try to help debunk the scariest conspiracy theory?!?👀🤔😬😢
