Mandela Effect

What’s the point of that sub? It’s like no one there believes in it. No one ever gets to talk about Mandela Effects.

I will die on the hill that it was BerenSTEIN Bears. I could read very young, and while my mom was grocery shopping, I’d read from the book stand. It was the 80s in a small town, in a small store, so I was ok being alone while my mom shopped. I remember wondering how to pronounce it. Why do I have that memory if it never was spelled that way?!

That’s my biggest one I just can’t get over. I also remember riding in the car with my mom and asking what does “objects in mirror MAY BE closer than they appear” meant.

The page changed when they started creating a ton of rules that took all the fun and interest out of the subreddit and just left room for the naysayers to come talk instead. When they started forcing everyone to just write their thoughts on one thread instead of being allowed to make stand alone posts.

I’ve been told on here that retcon sub is more welcoming and open minded and the same concept of this. I joined a while ago and the stories pop up on my feed every now and then and the people are definitely kinder there.

Yeah it used to be a good sub to discuss this stuff whether you believed in it or not. Long time ago now.
