I have just recently became aware of the mandela effect and was wondering if there are others also interested in it

could be something that is real... i always thought that genes carry memories of our ancestors, so something(chemicals bonding) could bring them to the surface...

the inherent memories to me are what some call instincts, why different people/animals are scared of different things and helps them survive

Not sure what causes it in most cases but it's not about the memories of previous generations. It's about things that are our own memories of events or things that we experienced in our own lives. People in general remember things inaccurately sometimes but the 'effect' affects things that were parts of our everyday lives or huge events that half or more of all people remember distinctly being different.

Ex. Oscar Meyer vs Oscar Mayer
Fruit Loops vs Froot Loops
'mirror mirror on the wall who's the fairest of them all' forgot the other version
Luke, I am your Father vs Luke I am the Father
The two most notable being - Bearenstein Bears vs Bearenstain Bears
Nelson Mandela dying in prison vs dying after being released from prison

If so many people clearly remember one version then check to verify they remember it correctly only to find FrOOt, MAyer, Luke I am THE father, and BearenstAin visible presently and those who remember the current version are most often still old enough to remember them before they could have been edited.

Things do change over time, spellings change to be seen and thought of differently like Chef Boiardi's brand being changed to Boyardee to appear more American but people don't usually die twice, get released from prison and reelected President of South Africa after dying or have iconic movie phrases change without being released as a deleted scene or alternate ending in the extras. While editing can explain some, there are some that defy a linear timeline, i.e. All (x) after 19__, 20__ are 'version 2' argument is broken by being unable to find anything that is 'version 1' unless it is before ones life making your memory impossible.

Fill in the blanks.

My balogna has a first name, it's _ _ _ _ _
My balogna has a second name, it's _ _ _ _ _

One looks right sounds wrong, the other looks wrong sounds right. Like baloney, which is a phonetic misspelling.

Those are good examples. Some people are sure that South America sat more directly under North America and not so far east.Some star gazers recall the earth being located on the outer fringe of the milkey way galaxy and not soo close towards the middle.There are more than one possible explanations for this phenomina going around.

I agree with Moe. Some memories are hard wired, and flash every so often.

Imo, Madera effect, flat earth and all that jazz is just a new package of BS The NWO is selling to the Millenial generation. They know Boomers and Gen-Xers don't buy anything with a government label.

did i get the meaning of "mandela effect" effect wrong? i don't really believe in alternate realities, but i have seen this myself, when it seemed something from the past has changed... maybe it's good ole fashioned time travel, and someone changes the history texts...

I think it just a new generation of misspellers has entered the corperation world and are wreaking damage, thereby actually causing this false mandela effect!

It's not about abilities/affinities/or talents, nor instincts. Those are hard wired your balogna's 30 year old jingle isn't. Again that could have been edited or Americanized at some point which is rebranding to try to appeal to different demographics since older ones are dying out. Mandela wasn't a brand.
The maps are a tangent people assume are connected, as if all cartographers worldwide throughout history had the same data Google maps has. Besides human errors in placement on the map or distortions from 2D to 3D its easy to explain one country or island being a bit bigger smaller or slightly out of place. This also makes people question flat - dome - globe earth and arrangements of the solar system and beyond. You can see how useful that could be as a distraction while your government is............., what are they doing right now?

Hmmmm...... Who nwo's?

Bearenstain? What purpose could there possibly be to change what anyone who knew or read or owned those books read them to your kids grand kids etc. That's not more American. It wouldn't sell any less that's for sure but people are finding books they owned are different. Old books, not new ones.

Its not that a few people spell something wrong, almost all of us have sat digging through a box of Froot loops looking for the crappy prize doing puzzles on the box, mazes, word searches, read every panel of that box many many times. Some of us still do. We would've noticed a ui instead of the emblem 'OO's being pieces of the cereal themselves. That's what I remember. F O ll O w your nose to Unknown Information, is that what uncle Toucan was trying to tell U.S.? Do you know what you're feeding your kids, or what they are feeding you?

I don't know about alternate realities, but these things aren't as trivial as they seem. We don't know what we are eating, that's kind of a big deal. GMO's are being hidden and if you think the nutrition facts are facts . It's impossible for old printed books to have alternate spellings in our possession. Finding a Naghamadi library is possible, but that wouldn't change the print in our bibles. If the goats would have stayed with the heard (yes I meant to spell it that way think about it) we wouldn't have the oldest of the gospels found to date. What is more important, differing interpretations of the same books or interpreting the incomplete redacted transcripts? Finding evidence that Columbus wasn't the first second or even the fifth explorer to reach the America's is possible but we still remember 1492....... And Amerigo Vespucci before him but we don't celebrate Vespucci day and we aren't Columbians so that is wrong too.

Damage, its more like damage control. Bible passages can be altered in translation but we have more smart people and software connected than ever before. I think the things are or were changed to distract us from more important things that are being covered deleted altered and edited in real time today.

The moral to me is that people need to pay attention to people or groups we would otherwise automatically dismiss. They come up in the news, tv, internet etc for a reason its not always what you think it is. Mandela isn't the only 'leader' to die twice (or more than twice), or not die whenwhere and how we think they did. We need pay attention when stories don't add up, people change sex race, religion, political affiliation, or in numbers or place time and cause of death. Stray goats may be leading us to truths we otherwise would never have known.

lots of leaps and bounds there... you jump from alternate realities to GMO's being hidden, old books, and so on from there... but all the CS fits aside, it's more than likely just a reversal of an electron firing wrong in our brains than anything else...

are you saying the GMO's are causing this?
