Opinion of the Mandela Effect?

[Never Made it to Graceland]

Reading the sub on reddit is like reading someone with dissociative identity disorder having conversations with his other personalities. For those who don't know, the Mandela Effect is used to explain memories of events that are discovered to be false. Instead of exploring the possibility that they are misremembering or confusing it with something else, Mandela Effect believers think that their memory is correct, and there has been a disturbance in the fabric of time or a giant conspiracy to change the circumstances they remember.

Collective misrememberings are an interesting bit of trivia, not dissimilar to repeated misconceptions or commonly misapplied words or phrases.  I think most people harmlessly engage with "Mandela Effects" in this way, as opposed to believing there are parallel universes or something.  Still voted HT...but it's just a harmless Internet phenomenon at the end of the day, lol

For some that might be the case, but if you read some threads on the sub, they are legitimately angry that reality is different than what they remember.

I didn't want to copy and paste a bunch of different examples but there are a lot in the sub if you look. In the same comment thread a guy thinks the Mandela Effect can be explained by the fact that he died 8 years ago and was switched to an alternative timeline.

I don’t care what anonymous teenagers have to say on Reddit, lol

I have my own one of these. I remember a scene from the Simpsons where everyone is booing Mr. Burns, and Smithers tell him they're actually saying "Boo-urns!," so Mr. Burns asks the crowd to clarify whether that's true, and they all say they were booing, but then Lenny says sheepishly, "I was saying boo-urns..."

And then one day I catch that scene on TV, and all of a sudden it's Moleman saying that line. So either I just misremembered ... or I could take inspiration from that reddit and decide that I crossed over from an alternate universe in which everything is the same except that that episode was produced with Lenny saying the line.
