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.

It’s primarily there for truth seeker Reddit users to experience a profound sense of disappointment in human openness. I hear you, and agree, but I’m not sure what the real motive is behind that sub.

I was voted down & admonished for having ‘the wrong memory’ about the monopoly man after someone posted he was ‘1000% monocled’. The irony was totally lost one of the top 1% Karen commentator’s, who was emphatic about being right, that he wasn’t monocled. I deleted my comment, deciding never to engage in a discussion about the real topic(Mandela effect) in that room.
