I know this sounds crazy but I remember reading in my school textbooks that the name for the programming language JAVA, was initially Oak but due to licensing issues they changed it to JAVA which came from the name of James Arthur Gosling, and his coworkers. I remember explicitly reading this in a book. However going online every source now says it's named after an Indonesian coffee. I know I am not misremembering, but no source on the internet seems to refer to what I remember.

Does anyone remember anything along these lines?

Not sure if my flair is correct.

I'm doing a re-watch of Law & Order (original) Season 5 Episode 15.
At 18:23, Lennie Briscoe makes the statement "Hey, I'm still waiting for Ed McMahon to show up at my door. "

I can't imagine that this show, which always went for a realistic style, would have added this when there was never such a thing as Ed McMahon delivering giant checks to PCH winners.

Am I going crazy???????

does anybody besides us remember this?????

I remember it being a deeper lower sound. All of them on youtube are this annoying high pitched sound. Mandela Effect?

does anyone else remember this sounding different?

i had the black phone with a front flip cover for the keys. i wish i knew what model it was.

I remember like a day after the time James Franco hosted the Oscar's and was acting like he was on drugs he put out a statement admitting that he was high and he knew it was wrong so he apologized to the academy and said something like it'll never happen again I've been a fan of his for years which is why I remember this I can't find the article anywhere all I find now is speculation that he was high out of his mind

I listened to that speech 6 months ago, as an example of talks about the ME before the term Mandela Effect was coined by Fiona Broome.

I'm listening to it again, and it's like parts of it are new to me. The refference to the chess game, Aphrodite and so on.

I distinctly remember, the first couple times I watched the movie Forrest Gump, that when Jenny shows Forrest his son he said “is he (swallow) L- Like me?” but this most recent time he just asks “is he smart or is he-“. Anyone else remember it this way?

Hello! I tried to search to see if this has been mentioned by anyone else, but couldn't find much. I just wanted to share because I think about it all the time (like, everyday)

I have a genuine, 100% real-to-me memory that Eddie Murphy passed away in 2012. Like, statements were made by the family, there was a funeral, and SNL even did a thing commemorating him. However, this (apparently) did not happen.

If you google "Eddie Murphy dead" there's a few articles about how there was a rumor spread in 2012 on Twitter about Murphy's alleged death. According to this timeline that was a joke (weird joke) rumor that spread like wildfire without confirmation.

However, I genuinely remember his death being real.

Turns out the guy is 100% alive. Buuuut, still super weird to me that he kinda disappeared from the limelight in 2012-2014, and then he "came back" to hollywood.

What are your own mis-rememberings or weird personal mandela effects?

The last 5 years or so I've noticed that people very seldom use "small", but rather "little".

I do understand the difference between the words, but previously you heard "small" etc. much more. One example: "small children" vs "little children".

Now almost every time, people use "little" for more or less everything. It has stuck in my mind.

Anyone else noticed the same?

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!

So here's two videos of him quoting some Mandelas. First ones Field of Dreams, from when he hosted the Oscars in 1990. At 8:00 he makes a joke with the classic line, saying "If you finish it, they will applaud". But obviously it makes sense to use 'they' in that context, grammatically speaking. So irregardless of the line itself being one way or the other, he would have used 'they'. But maybe the fact that it WAS 'they', is what contributed to him coming up with that joke to begin with. In any case, either the line was once 'they', or Billy Crystal helped and or caused the perpetuation of the misconception. Lastly, at 2:22 he actually mentions Nelson Mandela being freed.

Next is him saying "I see white people", while hosting the Oscars in 2000. Its kinda funny cause I was only gonna share the above video, but typed Billy Crystal in the search bar before doing so, in case anyone already posted it. And that led me to this post, talking about the 2000 Oscars:

https://www.reddit.com/r/MandelaEffect/comments/o65m6p/billy_crystal_at_the_oscars_2000/

Heres the video the post shares:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnkmMJrV0A8

The "I see white people" joke is at 1:18. And also in case no one clicks the above post that shared the vid, they mention that that years Oscars came before Scary Movie's release. But I've read from plenty of people who remember the "I see white people" line, that it was in the TV spots/trailers in general. So if it was indeed a line from the movie, maybe the trailer had hit before he hosted, and he was sorta quoting it? And everyone laughed, not only cause they knew it was a play on the classic line, but also because they were aware it was a nod to the line being parodied in the upcoming Scary Movie?

Anywaaayz. Is Billy Crystal a little minion of our possibly Mandela effected matrix? Or is he simply perpetuating, and or the cause of these ones? You be the judge!

I am shocked tonight as I read an article that state Lisa Marie Presley died in 2023.

I also thought she had two sons that both died one of suicide and I can't remember why the other one died from.

Is this just me? Does everyone else remember or knowntht she died?

Does anyone else remember Andy Samberg as “Adam Samberg” or is it just me? I have a very distinct memory of this.

The helicopter video of them flying over, looking down onto the roof of the North Tower. I specifically remember there being people, several people, waving on top of the building and I was so frustrated as to why they didn't even try to help. They just filmed and flew on by. I know smoke was bellowing out and that would've been dangerous for the copter, but I still wanted them to try something. I saw it a few times that day and didn't see it again until a few years later, and it was the same thing with the people on top waving.

Cut to last year, I see the video again and I'm waiting to see the people waving, only for there to be no one this time. The roof was clear of any persons. Just the smoke. It's the same exact video, but no people.

I remember only Posh, Geri, Mel B and Brittany. Do not recall Mel C being part of the band...and I was big into Spice Girls in the 90s.

Hey Everyone. I don’t know if you have seen the movie “North” with Elijah wood, however, I just recently saw a video clip with the Texas scene, and the dad was played by Dan Aykroyd. In my timeline, the dad was played by Tom Arnold 🤔

Hi!! First post here :)

Anyways...

I was rewatching the Sleeping Beauty movie, bc of nostalgia and all that.

The thing is that I remember that the main character (Aurora) wore a pink dress throughout the movie (even if you google "sleeping beauty costume" you'll get some images of people wearing that same pink dress), but when I watched the movie again, her dress was actually blue.

On top of that, the pink dress only appeared for some seconds in a few scenes.

Does anyone else remember that the dress was pink? Please let me know.

Thank you and good night.

Ok without looking it up how did John Candy pass away

I could swear I remember hearing he had overdosed when I was a kid which I thought was strange because I never remembered him struggling with drug addiction no I'm not thinking of Farley or Belushi I remember all 3 of them dying due to overdoses and I wasn't even born yet when they died I just thought it was well known that John Candy died because of drugs (maybe heroin or coke I could be wrong about that) but as of now it was health related problems and he never struggled with drug addiction from what I can tell

I remember this one scene from an episode of teen titans go i though I watched 5-8 years ago. In the scene, all the Titans except Robin jump into a paddling pool with metal rails on the side. The water flies out of the pool and splashes Robin and the opposite side of the pool. Robin then gets angry and yells at the Titans for splashing. I have tried to find this one scene for years but with no luck. Has anyone else had a similar experience with other shows? That scene I remember has never existed and multiple people I know have also seen this scene.

Have you noticed geographic MEs for the first time a little bit before or about the same time that the geographic location also became the subject of geopolitical tensions?

Like, say, you were thinking that Greenland is different a short while before Trump starts talking about it?

Jung said that the fate of the world hangs by a thin thread and by our own mental well being. I thought he meant we might destroy ourselves with wars and such.

Now I wonder if the actual shape of the planet changes in ways that reflect our collective mentality about global affairs. This being a part of the ME happening in tandem with our psychological disposition.

Hey, I've been playing Nier for years, and for the longest time, I thought it was called 'Nier Automatica.' But I just found out it's actually 'Nier Automata.' Has anyone else thought it was Automatica, or am I the only one who's had that mix-up?

I've shrugged this off for the past 30 years, but I distinctly remember a scene at the end of Star Trek V that simply doesn't seem to exist.

In this scene, Kirk, Spock and McCoy are gathered around the camp fire - as they are in any version viewable today - but, after "Row Row Row your boat" the trio are talking, and Kirk looks at the stars and says something like "It's a story that will be carried on by the Next Generation", before the camera pans up, and the TNG orchestral theme sounds out. A clear nod to the new show that had just started.

I always found it a bit odd that they continued with a final TOS Star Trek film after that, as it seemed like they were passing the baton.

However, it seems like I must have concocted this ending entirely within my imagination. I haven't seen or heard anything even vaguely similar since then.

This one is pretty funny and likely I am just rusty since I watched this movie back in 2000s and only rewatched it a few days ago.

In my memory, the famous kissing scene had two GIRLS in an open-roof car. In the actual movie it’s an older dude and his girlfriend.

This is probably not a Mandela Effect but just some peculiar example of how memory works. But… curious if anyone else remembers two girls?

Mary Lou Henner is now Marilu :)

Trump has asked SpaceX to return the two astronauts stranded on the space station.

However I distinctly remember there being big news Nov/Dec timeframe right before all the “drone” sightings that the astronauts had ALREADY returned home.

Anyone else feeling hinky about this?

I'm not sure if this counts as a Mandela or not, but you know the word "curt" (in the sense of being abrupt to the point of being rude)? I swear I remember it being spelled as "kurt". Maybe it's just because spelling the name as "Kurt" is more common?

Context This is a salsa classic from Dimensión Latina, the singer is Oscar D’Leon one the greatest salsa singers of all time. Everybody knows this song. In the lyrics of the song there is a verse

“Asi te darás de cuenta”

It’s slang it’s bad Spanish but everyone knows the song with this verse.

Now the lyrics that verse is

“ASI te darás tu Cuenta”

Now is in proper Spanish, not with slang.

Also in the original recording is “de Cuenta”.

But if you look later version is “Tu Cuenta”

So Spanish speakers what do you remember

Even looked at old episodes to see if she has just changed as got older but definitely looks to be a simalar looking actor to one the I remeber.
