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.

If you go back over a decade, like circa 2014, it used to actually be a sub where Mandella Effects were taken seriously. Unfortunately, it was co-opted, and this dub was created in response to that cooption. Now, this dub is the real ME sub, and the other sub is actually an anti-ME sub.

Same thing happened to the original conspiracy theory sub. Exact same thing.
