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 Mandela Effect subreddit seems to be more like a "get bullied for believing in the Mandela Effect" subreddit.

It's actually one of the most hostile subreddits I've ever seen. That kinda lends credence to the idea that something is causing these timeline shifts. Why else would a bunch of people bully others like they're getting paid to do it? Makes no sense.

It’s probably Satan trying to prevent end time prophecy by shifting realities. Apparently the Bible has experienced some wording changes, so this my conclusion.

No. It's Revelation, without the S.

Damn, I don’t remember changes that small. I only notice the obvious ones like this one.

Weird. My old reality was "Chic".

Book of Revelations does sound right tho. This phenomenon is quite perplexing, it’s as if something is causing shifting in parallel worlds, and if that’s true, is our worlds being “stitched” together?

Is ourself in other worlds us, or is it just this instance? They say people act “npc” perhaps those people don’t have our souls? Like only one instance of us at any time has a soul in these parallel realities?

Perhaps death shifts us, which in a way gives us quantum immortality?

Basically what you're saying, yeah. There are probably infinite versions of us, and something keeps groups of people or perspectives observing the same reality - otherwise it's all single-player.

I think death and strong emotions do it, and people who have learned to "ascend" might move more freely.

Still such a mind fuck to me, we can’t die but everyone we see die stays dead. But they don’t end up staying dead either! They get shifted!

Edit: probably, it’s just a theory don’t go testing that immortality lmao

I don't think that's it. I think your soul can exist in more than one timeline. Normal physics (space and time) only apply to the material.

That one has changed back recently. It was chick, now it’s back to chik.

It is "Chick" right this moment.
