ThereWeAreThen Posted November 11, 2019 #154 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Right so I've only just bothered looking up the mandela effect and its basically just bad memory right? Christ this is like when people think empathy is a psychic power. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we accept that our memory inaccuracies occur often. We are saying in a few rare cases something more is going on than 'normal' memory errors. It is a lengthy discussion if you are familiar with it, that is not solved by 'new?' information like this. ... It's bad memory about events they didn't care about. I remember the 1995 Rugby World Cup and the disappointment. They even made a movie about it. People just didn't pay attention at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the Queen song mentioned above. It has been used in a number of commercials. Which portion has been used? Why the section that is the section of the 2:59 song that uses the lyrics "of the world". I believe that it is possible that people are not aware of what is the end of the song because they hear it as a snippet in settings such as commercials or snippets at games. We Are The Champions is good pub/karaoke song. People sing it after a few drinks, of course they'll get it wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is it named after? The eponymous case is just a joke. There were pretty significant developments happening in South Africa around 1990.

And the eponymous name case may be others having a view of the alternate timeline. I personally did not experience that particular Effect but that doesn't mean others didn't. The experiencers were just passive observers of South Africa in 1990. I'll vouch for the Flintstones (short story) and the Berenstein Bears though. And even Chic-fil-a. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Flintstones makes more sense in the Stone Punk genre. Berenstain is probably confused with Einstein and Frankenstein. I'm not familiar with Chick-fil-a. I'm not sure why people would think the brand was trying to evoke style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Aug 2, 2017 at about 16:40 EST, I was on reddit discussing the Flinstones/Flintstones flip on another thread. My position was that it is and always was the Flintstones. The guy sent me a reply saying at the time it was the Flinstones you could look at Wikipedia, and all official TV show and vitamin sites and it was always Flintstones; he used the word Flintstones in all four examples given. I said 'I Know' you are confirming my point that it was always Flintstones. Then when I was done with my reply and I looked up at his original post and all four 'Flintstones' had changed on my static display to 'Flinstones'. Did I just see it wrong?? I looked away and came back and it was 'Flintstones' again. I would just look away, blink, change my focus looked back and it would flip again. I was able to do this 6 or 7 times in under five minutes each time looking slowly and cautiously for this controversial 't' IN ALL FOUR PLACES. Essentially impossible to me that I made a mistake slowly and cautiously each time. I felt something was trying to wake me up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stereologist Posted November 12, 2019 #164 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Some people will make up all sorts of stories to try and cover up with mistakes. As government officials quickly find out the cover ups are more ridiculous than the original issue. The same applies to this nonexistent effect. There are people that are mistaken and there are people that are going to come up with the most idiotic excuses to pretend they were not mistaken. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I would be worried that I've had a virus - especially if the conversation was near enough to real time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
