One last note... I thought I might have a "gotcha" type moment with pacemakers... Because pacemakers are up on the left where the heart used to be, right? But now the pacemaker is still in the same spot but the wires go through a vein for a pretty long way to get into the right atrium/ventricle... I am not 100% sure on how pacemakers worked not even close to a pacemaker expert... I know they went to the sinoatrial node to trigger the heartbeat... I'm thinking maybe just the wires going through the vein so far makes it look very off to me but I would love to hear from anyone who has more experience with pacemakers who remembers it differently (and maybe the pacemaker thing isn't an effect in itself just the wires to get from the old location to where the heart actually is in this reality make it look off).

Pacemakers can be inserted on either side actually. I don't work in cardiology and I also used to assume all pacemakers were on the left, until I met a patient who had it on the right. The cardiology consultant on duty explained that the left side is usually preferred as it's closer to the heart (not because the heart was ever on the left but because the heart is in the centre but slightly offset to the left, as it's always been).

Actually that doesn't really make sense. The wires go through the left subclavian vein and into vena cava and the RIGHT atrium. So while the heart in this reality may be slightly offset left, the actual right atrium to which the electrodes attach at the SA node is on the right side, as is the superior vena cava. So if it is based on proximity the usually preferred pacemaker location should be on the right side.
From the right internal jugular and left subclavian approaches, the veins respectively take straight and gently curving trajectories to the superior vena cava (Figure 2). However, the right subclavian vein takes a near-right angle turn into the superior vena cava (Figure 3), and the left internal jugular approach incorporates two turns, one into the brachiocephalic vein and a second into the superior vena cava (Figure 2).

Didn't have time to read through the whole thread... looks like mostly flames anyways haha but I wanted to post... just discovered this three days ago and I need some company!
The initial thing for me was Berenstein... I just thought yeah that's not right and started checking out the others. I was aout 95% on Berenstein... some/most of the off movie quotes and misspellings rang true to me but I wasn't sure... could just be a mistake... but Chick-fil-A when I saw that I was 100%.
We go there every week on Tues with the kids (who eat free on Tues)... almost every week texted either my brother or cousin or both who often join us and autocomplete ALWAYS filled it as "Chic-fil-A". Remember it VERY clearly- vivid- plain as day. So when I saw chick-fil-A I was like whaaaaaat? the red cursive writing looks totally wrong like I've never seen it before. Went to type it in for autocomplete... "chick-fil-A." Well they must've change autocomplete... surely my old texts will say chic-fil-A. Nope. So I dug deeper...
I was born in 1986, so many of them I don't remember. But the JFK footage is totally different for me. It was in black and white (now in technicolor), it was a regular 4 person light colored convertible (rather than a 6 person black limousine convertible with a glass partition between the driver and the passengers like it is now)... different angle, different things even happen with how he got shot but I was never THAT into JFK stuff so I can't 100% recall everything. But even the conspiracy theories now are different even if they have the same name (magic bullet/one bullet theory are now very different even though they have the same name... weird).
Village people having 6 (solider guy was never in it). And then I stumbled onto something that broke me...
Human anatomy. I graduated in 2008 with a Natural Sciences / Biology degree. Pretty familiar with human anatomy... dissected cadavers, etc. and when I saw the diagram at first I just started laughing because everything was so different and off and foreign to what I remembered. Heart was always on the left and higher (now in the CENTER and lower?!), kidney's were always on the lower back just above the pelvic bones basically and now they are way up protected by the rib cage... so how is a kidney shot even a thing now? Lungs are way too high and a weird shape when they used to be oval shaped. stomach is higher and a little off to the left than it used to be. Intestines... too jumbled and messy and takes up WAY more room. Liver is HUGE.
Then the skeleton... I am not 100% on the ribcage... but it looks strange. The scapulae (shoulder blades) are wayyyy wrong. They are so small and much more to the outside of the rib cage... and I remember them being much larger and as a result came closer together. Then I thought about my own personal experiences with this anatomy... I could remember very recently being able to bring my shoulder blades together and "grab" my fingers at my spine... can't do that anymore. I can also remember recently rubbing my wife's back and her rubbing mine trying to get an knot out that was just off of my and her spine right near the shoulder blade... I can remember rubbing along the shoulder blade and almost kind of under it trying to massage out the knot.. same with her massaging me. That wouldn't be possible with where my shoulder blades are now. So now I was starting to kind of freak out because I realized that my body had changed from what I remembered... not just some diagram that I looked at, or an event that I knew, or a misspelling or misquote or whatever... my actually body was not my body now...
Then I thought to check my heart as one of the organs I could check as I could feel the heartbeat. But my hand above my left nipple where I could always feel my heartbeat... I could even SEE my heartbeat very clearly. It always used to move my pectoral muscle very visibly even while I was at rest... to the point where I wondered if my heart was situated differently or larger than most. I can remember pointing it out to people saying look at my heart beating moving my chest like that. VERY vivid memories of these experiences. And now I can't feel it there, can't see it there. Now I have to put my hand down on the tip of my sternum slightly to the left right at the bottom edge of my pecs to feel my heartbeat. When I lie on my belly now which used to be a fairly common way that I slept my heartbeat now bothers me because I feel it in my belly. I don't know when these changes happened but my body (at least for sure my shoulder blades and my heart location) is very different than it used to be with 100% certainty...
So on my way home from work after seeing that and feeling around to figure stuff out... couldn't help but to cry. And couldn't keep it together when I tried to talk to my wife - shes trying to understand... she seems to be remembering a lot of things like me but doesn't quite get the certainty I have so she kinda thinks I'm a little crazy. I'm trying to find a 100% for her so she can get it. I think I may have found one with I love Lucy (I've seen no "'Lucy you got some splainin to do" and no big ricky ricardo laugh anymore) but need to go through some episodes to see.
One last note... I thought I might have a "gotcha" type moment with pacemakers... Because pacemakers are up on the left where the heart used to be, right?

Anyways that's my experience after first seeing this three days ago. Glad that I am not alone as this would be very very scary to be alone with memories that you are sure about and no one is with you.

This is a new area of me to me, I'd have to see exactly what people are saying about it before I could confirm or deny.
OK, whatever. There's nothing wrong with being high or a millennial. And I think it shows that possibly a technology could be the culprit behind all these changes, possibly even mass scale collusion to create mass confusion. But that's why I'm here. It is a conspiracy site, and btw, I despise ignorance and fascism.

It doesn't. Excellent job using an obviously high millennial on YouTube as your scientific source...
