Read something that was talking about parallel worlds.



Anyone else distinctly remember Berestein Bears not stain?

Also, anyone remember Fidel Castro dying? He's still alive. I remember his brother taking over.

Not sure deserves own thread, but was wondering if anyone remembers this stuff.

There is a theory that in a multiverse, each version of ourselves is shared by the same atoms and particles just existing in every dimension at once. If that is the case, it wouldnt be far fetched to think information could bleed over from conscious stream to conscious stream.

There are some brilliant scientists working on theories like this so its not all crazy.

Those examples are pretty easy to confuse imo, like Castro did step down due to health issues and if he would've actually died he would've had some massive state funeral you would remember. I distinctly remember him sitting in a bed and walking around labored in a red adidas track suit.

Googled around and didn't see any other Mandela effects personally except Columbine. How was that 99? It really feels like it was '96 to me.

There was a true story in England where a ten year old released a balloon with a return to sender note that ends up landing 150 miles away in te neighborhood of another ten year old girl with the exact same name and various other similarities. A bona fide glitch in the matrix.

I was too sleepy to finish my thought earlier, but my "Berenstein" is the word Dilemma. I distinctly remember learning the spelling to be -mna rather than -mma. I shared it on Facebook once and there were two other people (they weren't idiots) who agreed with me. I even found one small dictionary clip from a long time ago that had -mna. Everyone else thought I was insane for even thinking it was -mna.

It makes absolutely no etymological/historical sense to be -mna, but that's how I 'remember' it. I'm not completely alone, either.

I think while we were all focused on 9/11, the Illuminati changed the spellings of that and Berenstein.

You guys have any more personal events that seemed to have changed? things that can't be explained by a wrong news report or a typo ...etc.

Yea, but I could just be crazy or a brain malfunction, not necessarily a glitch in reality. A group confirmation seems more appropriate.

I think it makes sense that groups of people with the same cultural "inputs" would make the same slight mistakes when remembering cultural artifacts.

Hence, my Reeses Peecees jab.

If you were to ask an "expert" or "historian" as applied to each instance, they will immediately know you are clearly wrong, that this is all absurd.

Most people aren't very meticulous in life, and in fact are very imprecise, but have all the confidence in the world that they are right no matter what.

The absurd vanity in all of this is that people would rather believe that spacetime has been altered because they were too stupid to take hold of the nuances of language put before them in the first place.

This is "misheard lyrics" as applied to historical events that people shouldn't admit they don't correctly understand. But they are too vainly oblivious to admit it.

"Play it again, Sam!"

Play it again Sam is good reference. It's why I don't trust my own senses and know I'm wrong as a default.

That being said, I think about the infinite/multiverse theory a lot. Not sure it applies, but the Bears thing was first I heard of it.

We know there are multiple dimensions, but again, not sure it applies, and just toying with the thought.

The rich dudes who invented the language pronounce openly and proudly the metal element.....

A-lu-mi-ni-um.

They butcher the word by ADDING a full syllable. Drives me batshit crazy.

I'm a big fan of that stuff (Elegant Universe, Fabric of the Cosmos, TheCulture of Time and Space:1880-1918, Physics of Consciousness).

But I don't put much faith in a bunch of home detectives with bad YouTube skills figuring it out.

I have a bunch of the Bernstein bear books in our school library. We're a title I school, so I'm sure they're from the 80's. I'm almost positive they spell it with an ei

It's probably has something to do with some linguistics thing about the ease of saying stressed/non-stressed vowel sounds after other vowel sounds in English.

If it were "stein," I feel like there would have been more "stine" mispronunciation to go along with it.

"He was Jerry Steinfeld/Seinfield in my universe, dammit!"

Also, a lot of you guys probably have Southern accents that make the word "stain" sound like "steen" to northerners, tbh.

what we know of reality changes every few years. Just 2 weeks ago Planet X believers were nut jobs and now brilliant astronomers say the evidence points to it having to be real and over a 10,000 year orbit.

then that brings up a huge azz can of worms about how the ancients knew.

the problem with the Mandela effect is that no matter what the reality is, those not remembering a difference will always think the other side is flawed or crazy

The hood that attaches to my down coat must be in a parallel universe. Haven't been able to find that thing for years.

I'll take the bona fides of amateur astronomers over people misquoting pop culture lines any day of the week.

I think the younger generation knows the proper lines, not because of their living in a forked reality, but because they have the advent of on-demand media in their home.

"Mirror, mirror on the wall" was a line from the early 1800's when people read books. That's why the line has the staying power as opposed to Disney's "Magic Mirror" version. The world began before television and movies existed.

To throw you guys a bone, I do think "Expanding Earth Theory" is pretty cool.

I'm really pissed that my consciousness is in this universe and not the one where we went 40-0.

I always thought it was spelled "....stein" but pronounced like ".....stain". Also, I was taught to spell it as dilemna in elementary school. We must have been provided with Canadian-made textbooks or something like that.

its basically impossible to prove the stein part because everything here would be 'stain. it would be the other universe or time line that had stein and only in our memories. its interesting to give it thought but its just as likely that our memories of being a young kid aren't worth a crap flavored ring pop.

but there is a theory out there that makes me laugh my *** off at. The Earth is Flat theory... oh boy check out this video...



The video causes me head aches alright. because I laughed all my oxygen out.

I heard on the radio some rapper who believes in a flat earth got into s Twitter dispute and then a rap battle with Neil degrasse Tyson. I heard the rap battle so it defintely happened.
