Very weird theory that I found on the Internet

I thought this was very interesting:

Meditation creates false memory

In one exercise, participants in the mindfulness group were instructed to focus attention on their breathing without judgment, while those in the mind-wandering group were told to think about whatever came to mind.

After the guided exercise in the first experiment, 153 participants studied a list of 15 words related to the concept of ‘trash’ such as garbage, waste, can, refuse, sewage and rubbish.

But the list did not actually include the word ‘trash’.

The results revealed that 39 per cent of the mindfulness participants then falsely recalled seeing the word ‘trash’ on the list, compared to only 20 per cent of the mind-wandering participants.

interesting, wonder what movie that was!

I just did a quick search of the NYT archive and sure enough, I found these:








I stopped going through the search returns after that point. But there were many hits for these authors under 'Berenstain,' too, dating back just as far.

It makes me think that we all just read it as "Berenstein,' but it has always been 'Berenstain.'

(I remember it as Berenstein, too, BTW)

imaginative, and creative minds were on the show "fringe"....it was "must see TV" for me when it was on.....but, stories about time dilation and travel, universes colliding and joining, have been around for a while.....the "a" for an "e"....could have been simply bad writing, coupled with a lazy editor.....it happens so much in our own local newspaper (the Stockton record) that I have grown quite immune to it. I guess what I'm saying is that a little more proof of purposeful intent is needed.

If you are referring to what I posted, then I agree and suspect you didn't read to the end of my comment. I think it's just easy to misread the name Berenstain as Berenstein. Nothing more.

has anyone noticed that posts autobiographicaly for Jan/Stan Berenstain or by Mike Berenstain (or someone impersonating him on the interwebs) invariably deflect the argument over the THEIR last name?

i mean he (or she or they) tell the story of how an immigration officer from the late 1800s (US had immigrations officers back then?) attempted to phoneticize their jewish ukraine name and Berenstain was born then throw in a one-liner that thus the bears in question have always been named BerenstAin bears.

obviously the internet archives continue to be chock full of the original spelling (ie, even by NY Times/NYTimemachine editorial).. which begs the question: despite Berenstein/Bernstein being the way more common surname, how come even so many editors and publications have and continue to spell it the original way?

I know I have seen an old photo of what was alleged to be a Thunderbird....when I was a kid...I KNOW I have....

Some more Mandela Effect changes I've discovered recently:

Apparently Barbara Streisand is now Barbra Streisand. She changed her name to "Barbra" in the 60's. In my life experience, it was always Bar-bar-a Streisand.

The artist Robert Crumb is still alive. I remember that he died in the 90's. I remember this clearly because I watched a film about him called "Crumb," and when I looked him up I discovered he'd died that same year (1994,) and so he'd just survived long enough to participate in that film.

Fidel Castro is still alive. I remember the news reporting that he'd died years ago.

Mongolia is now a nation. This is why China is smaller in size than you may remember.

Mars has two moons. Never in my whole life experience was this ever mentioned. They are small, but still, I would think between school, books and films I've viewed over the years that this might have come up somewhere! I feel like watching "Total Recall" again and other films involving Mars to see if they are different in some way.

And most bizarrely, the North Pole is now water. Seriously, water and drifting icebergs! It is in the middle of the Arctic Ocean. Santa Claus still 'lives' in the North Pole for kids, but 'really' he lives in Finland! This is because the Arctic Circle encompasses parts of Canada, Finland and other countries. I remember that the Arctic was a continent with a landmass. People would travel to the north pole and stand on its location. It would be clearly defined on the map in the same way that Antarctica still is. There was much talk about the north melting and arguments were made over claims to it between Canada and Russia, due to the large amount of resources which were becoming available as the ice melted, allowing for mining (especially for diamonds.) But now, such mining would have to be done at the ocean floor!

Regions of ice still exist in 'the Arctic Circle,' around the Arctic Ocean, but this only makes which country owns which portions of it more apparent. The feuding was because the Arctic (as a landmass) was centred around the north pole and thus many could lay claim to it.

No wonder polar bears are an endangered species these days...

Journey to the north pole on foot:


As an interesting synchronicity, I discovered this while researching the Arctic:

The modern Arctic turns out to be the third incarnation of an ancient landmass at the top of the world. A group of Siberian scientists has discovered that the northern most continent broke apart twice, and not once as was previously thought. An ancient continent named Arctida formed around one billion years ago, but then split apart around 750 million years ago, only to come back together again after another 500 million years, TASS reports, citing the findings of the Institute of Petroleum Geology and Geophysics of the Russian Academy of Sciences and Novosibirsk State University.

I like how everything you remember wrong is proof of a shifted timeline. Don't you see the delusion? In fact, even dwelling on this is literally changing your memories...

I love how you put words in my mouth. I never mentioned the word "proof" at any point. Go back and read what was said (and mind what wasn't.)

a reply to: LoneCloudHopper2

It was always Barbara Streisand. I don't recall ever hearing she changed it though.

Thanks for sharing your memory of this, Night.

"Some more Mandela effects I've discovered"

I don't think you are even aware of what you are writing...

Are you normally a troll or do you just have a special fondness for owls?

It was late night and you know what I meant.

a reply to: LoneCloudHopper2

Owls have scared me ever since Secret of Nimh...

glad to see this is still going.

you have discovered the rabbit hole ATS

Now it is your duty to ride it out until the end.
No matter what conclusions you arrive at or what truth you learn.

That is the duty of all awoken people.
To enlighten others and to further enlighten yourself

You know, it's strange that I've had very pleasant conversations on YouTube comments, even to videos criticizing the Mandela Effect, yet here on ATS (a site dedicated to conspiracy theories and the supernatural,) there has been a great deal of criticism, and a lot of people poking fun like children as well. The worst example is on a thread where someone mentioned Fruit Loops being spelled differently, here. It's pretty pathetic. One person even made a post making fun of conspiracy theorists! Ummm, isn't that what ATS if for? YouTube is actually notorious for its idiotic comments and the fact that I can have more civilized conversations there than on ATS about a subject like this is absurd.

Anyway, while talking in the comments on one video they mentioned the video I'm posting below. He's one of the larger YouTube channels and he mentions many of the same exact changes I've mentioned (like many others.)

The Arctic is melting away no question about it but I found this the North Pole Marathon. There are lots of pictures of the North Pole. They're having another 26 mile race April 2016.
