Mandela Effect - You Can Dance If You Want To - Or Not?

I'm kinda surprised.. I really thought more would remember "you". I remember it strongly.. weird.

Probably because you are remembering it wrong and its always been the way its always been?

Imagine if we had the internet in the 80's and we could document all the Mandela Effects then too...for some strange reason just now I remember when I was a kid adults were saying the same thing..."I remember this was really like this and so on..." If it is faulty memory then I am absolutely certain adults have been saying Mandela Effect things forever...I'm sure if we all try really hard we will remember our parents saying the same faulty memories of pop culture from different generations.

Or maybe we don't know enough about our consciousness and we can imagine alternate realities really clearly without a shadow of a doubt...sort of like deja vu or lucid dreaming. Maybe human consciousness is evolving right now. Our brains having been staring at movie screens to 4-d virtual reality, with that technology rapidly evolving for over 70 years. Maybe that has triggered something to evolve in our brain?

Another idea is maybe there are audio illusions and memory illusions, just like optical illusions where our mind can't observe what's really there so we see something else. Maybe something in our diet has increased this too? Mandela Effect is clearly a phenomenon not some random fluke or internet hoax....and the claims of a parallel universe crossing into ours, or timeline shift has zero evidence. So it's not that.

I think it's too many people to say faulty memories, unless we have a database of faulty memories as big as the Mandela Effect from earlier generations before the internet. If we had scientific data on examples of faulty memories shared by millions of people from past decades then we know the answer to the Mandela Effect is without a shadow of a doubt faulty memories....but we don't...it's a new phenomenon to my understanding...

His eyes were described as brown in our german history books. They never ever mentioned blue eyes in any one of them.

That's because your a liar history books didn't mention his eye color. The reason we know it to be blue is diaries of his staff. History books never cared about his eye color. And as I explained the reason you thought it was brown not sure why we are continuing.

everyone of you should be ashamed of yourself for not thinking of this first.

It's because of things like the internet that cause it. People will remember something close but wrong. Kind of like when you got the words to a song wrong. Happen's all the time what you thought was the words and sang with the radio until you see the lyrics. Happened to me even off albums I bought I'd look at the lyrics and realize I was getting something wrong. Now with the Internet you can get several people like you to go wow that changed. But as humans are memories aren't fixed they are constantly redone. Things you think you remember from child hood most likely was altered later when you became an adult. Even me and my sister remember some things very different growing up.

Some misheard lyrics, its does happen

So is it simply one person posted the Mandela Effect online and it went viral? Where you and I and others read a Mandela Effect story and instantly by reading a Mandela Effect blog our memories went blank and our memories were replaced by what we just read on the internet? That's why millions of people are sharing the same Mandela Effect memories? That could be...

Or are millions of people running into pop culture that is a decade or older and they say, "Hey I don't remember it like that! What is happening?" Then they google it to research it and come across the Mandela Effect phenomenon. So what is going on? Has this always been going on?

Are there known "Mandela Effects" millions of people talked about during the 2000's, 90's, 80's, 70's, 60's etc? If there are then we have proof of faulty memories of pop culture...like millions of people living in the 70's all remembering Elvis lyrics differently? If there are no examples of millions of people decades ago, all remembering the past slightly different then what is in recored history...then we have a recent phenomenon with people's memories. Unless someone has an example of people in the 1920's having their own "Mandela Effects"...

Maybe our mind occasionally subconsciously or subliminally slips into a alternate astral/dream/deja vu like state where we actually perceive these alternate pasts with these small changes in detail. Sort of like these Mandela Effects are lucid dreams we don't remember which is why we are confused if CERN or someone has literally changed human beings' timelines.

I'm not saying exactly like lucid dreams or deja vu but a new category all together. Maybe our mind does perceive these different timelines but we don't observe it that is why we have this confused memory. Maybe it's been happening since the beginning of mankind and with the internet it's the first time the phenomenon has been recored and the story dispersed to the masses? The internet makes it easy to facilitate the Mandela Effect and collect data on everyone's observations.

This whole Mandela Effect is the singularly most ridiculous conspiracy theory out there!

It's basically just an unproveable theory for people with bad memories to claim that something bizarre is happening, when questioned ME believers simply claim that they are from a different time line and are correct in their said time line, hence making the theory not only unproveable but totally irrelevant!

Get a grip.....we all remember stuff differently, and we all forget stuff!

I don't think the Mandela Effect is hogwash at all...I think it's pretty serious...there are millions of people who believe in it...if it's not evidence that our consciousness observes alternate realities, and it is purely bad memory then we have an issue. It's been proven that human attention spans have declined due to the amount of time spent on the internet. Maybe since the Mandela Effect is probably close to 100% discussed on the internet, then people who suffer or experience a Mandela Effect are heavy internet users. And heavy internet use will decrease your memory skills?

Just because people believe doesn't mean it is true.

Say what you want. You're entitled to your opinion, and that doesn't make you right.

Straight back at ya!

There are not million that believe. You are just in a sounding board. You believe and post where others do as well. The biggest problem is memories can be altered later. Meaning you can find people that will swear by something even if that wasn't the correct memory in the first place

Say it's a memory issue all you want. I understand you love to argue. Every reply you make to any post is trying to lure people into an argument. Even when you're 100% wrong.

You're entitled to your opinion, doesn't make you right.

Play telephone but instead of saying the phrase once before having it repeated, say it one hundred times before each successive repeat. Do that and you might be close to replicating an me.

Get back to me when they do a study on memory that shows that after hearing something and repeating it hundreds of times it's them remembered wrongly.

Because I'm sorry to say that hasn't been proven to happen
