I tried posting this on the Mandela Effect sub and it didn't go well. Someone wanted to argue. I'm certainly not gonna type it out again. But I did take a couple screenshots. 🪑🫈🪑

I mean, when thousands or millions of people share the same incorrect memory, it becomes a little more difficult to discount.

Many being wrong doesnt make them right. The planet isnt flat because everyone used to think it was (and some still do)

I didn’t say it makes them correct, but boiling it down to “the human memory is faulty” doesn’t cut it when millions of people experience the exact same memory failure. It doesn’t mean we’ve entered some parallel reality, but it can’t just a simple memory failure across this many cases.

🤷🏼‍♀️ this is subjective

A phenomenon doesn't stop being psychologic because its collective.

But you’re speaking with certainty about something we haven’t fully explored let alone explained, and I take issue with that. A psychological phenomenon experienced by millions of people should be scientifically studied… Being a psychological phenomenon doesn’t mean there isn’t some non-psychological explanation for it.

Havana Syndrome was thought to be some psychological condition, turns out it’s not. I’ve listened to people dismiss Havana Syndrome as purely psychological with the same certainty that you speak with right now, and they were all wrong.

Neither of us can adequately explain the phenomenon, and it’s arrogant and closed-minded to assume you know the explanation.

Oh i never said not to research the topic, just with a scientific method, not a complotist method, thats all 🤷🏼‍♀️😐

The only thing i know for certain is that we don't know for certain.

I mean, this entire conversation started with someone completely dismissing the phenomenon and saying “I can’t believe people still believe this.” I know you didn’t say that, but you’re defending that person’s point of view with your follow-ups.

If that’s how you feel, you might want to preface your initial comment with that information before it gets misconstrued as support for a point of view you don’t hold.

Im not defending anyone but a simple basic common sense 🤷🏼‍♀️ i chose to answer to you to nuance what you were saying not to defend the other person

u/ChungusReaper 8d ago

But you didn’t provide nuance, you provided an analogy that doesn’t even apply to this phenomenon...

If it’s not something you understand, you can’t possibly understand it. You don’t know what you don’t know and I wish people esp on social media wouldn’t criticize something they don’t understand. It’s not a knock but we don’t all need to be experts on everything on socials… and your opinions as well meaning aren’t facts either. Did you know modern physicists says the universe is more like a thought then a machine? Makes you think what OP said may not be so black and white.

Did you know modern scientists says themselves that they're working on "best current model" and sometimes retract on well established stuff (just an exemple: Pluto)

Good point.

Have you ever experienced it? I am not someone who automatically believes in supernatural things, but there is at least one mandela effect I can't explain which is the fruit of the loom logo. It's ok to not believe it is real but calling people gullible while on a paranormal subreddit is kind of ironic. Not to say paranormal stuff isn't real, but if you are here you must have experienced or have interest in something paranormal that other people would scoff at.

u/Daendris 8d ago

Fruit of the loom logo MAY be due to fake brands imitations. Im not sure for that one. Mr Monopoly's monocle i debunked though : its Mr Planter's who have one

u/MeltedPainting 8d ago

Are there any pictures of a fake brand with the logo that has a cornucopia in it?
