The most ridiculous part of the Mandela effect theories is how some of the naysayers seem to find it necessary to be absolutely rude and condescending.
It upsets them somehow, and that's just kind of weird.
If I don't like something I'll just avoid it, not actively campaign against it, surround myself with it, and insult people I don't agree with.
Some people are just miserable I guess.
I'm completely ok with people being rude and condescending to those who are too arrogant to admit the shortfalls of their own memory.
I come on ATS to avoid stupidity, not surround myself with it.

If I don't like something I'll... not... insult people I don't agree with.
Yes, weird isn’t it, how some people get annoyed when someone goes on yapping about how the world has changed and won’t shut up about it, and tells people who know better that they’re blind, fools, sheep, etc
We tried politeness, but it didn’t work
Yes, just like you called people who don’t agree with you rude, condescending and kind of weird. Not insulting at all.
Are you open to the possibility that maybe, despite your certainty, you accidentally left the story at your friends house?
Retrograde amnesia (RA) is a loss of memory-access to events that occurred, or information that was learned, before an injury or the onset of a disease. It tends to negatively affect episodic, autobiographical, and declarative memory while usually keeping procedural memory intact with no difficulty for learning new knowledge.
Dissociative fugue, formerly fugue state or psychogenic fugue, is a DSM-5 dissociative disorder. It is a rare psychiatric disorder characterized by reversible amnesia for personal identity, including the memories, personality, and other identifying characteristics of individuality. The state is usually short-lived (ranging from hours to days), but can last months or longer. Dissociative fugue usually involves unplanned travel or wandering, and is sometimes accompanied by the establishment of a new identity.
Fugues are usually precipitated by a stressful episode, and upon recovery there may be amnesia for the original stressor (dissociative amnesia).
...
Unlike retrograde amnesia (which is popularly referred to simply as "amnesia", the state where someone forgets events before brain damage), dissociative amnesia is not due to the direct physiological effects of a substance (e.g., a drug of abuse, a medication, DSM-IV Codes 291.1 & 292.83) or a neurological or other general medical condition (e.g., Amnestic Disorder due to a head trauma, DSM-IV Codes 294.0). It is a complex neuropsychological process.
As the person experiencing a Dissociative Fugue may have recently suffered the reappearance of an event or person representing an earlier life trauma, the emergence of an armoring or defensive personality seems to be for some, a logical apprehension of the situation.
Therefore, the terminology fugue state may carry a slight linguistic distinction from Dissociative Fugue, the former implying a greater degree of motion. For the purposes of this article then, a fugue state would occur while one is acting out a Dissociative Fugue.
