Well, the brain works in really weird ways, and of course people are going to have different memories than others (maybe they dreamed it and believed real, maybe they learnt it wrong, maybe they are mistaking it with other things...). The thing with the Mandela effect is that people with those different memories can communicate with each other through the internet, and because those few people casually coincide, that reinforces their believes.

I got 2 minutes into that video before turning it off, no I don't believe in this "mandela effect" in the slightest. People remember things wrong, people make mistakes and false information is sometimes spread as fact.

For the first 18 years of my life I thought IF was pronounced EF, I learned I was wrong when someone picked up on it. I don't think "OMFG IT'S CHANGED, I WASN'T WRONG IT WAS ACTAULLY EF BEFORE BUT NOW IT'S CHANGED TO IF OMFG MANDELLA EFFECT."

Becuase they're things that are very similair, thus easy to get wrong and then when forrest gump is quoted for example someone quotes it wrong and everyone hears the wrong thing and then they quote it wrong etc etc.

It's not like thousands of people think the quote from forrest gump was "Life is like a carrier bag of boiled sweets." it's always something that's easily mistaken for the real thing.

Same with Looney Tunes and Looney Toons, they sound every similair and Looney Toons as a name makes sense as well.

But before it was called Looney Tunes it was called Merry Melodies. Melody, Tune. So it stands to reason that it always was and always has been Looney Tunes. Unless Merry Melodies has changed TOO, but no one seems to remember that as being something else.

Just another silly fabrication of the effort to make conspiracy theorists look like idiots.
It started with the imbecile flat-earth meme and now it goes on with the mandella idiocy.
I am intereste in knowing what comes next.

It's like a lot of People think 'Elementary my dear Watson' is an actual Sherlock Holmes quote, when it's not.
It's a misinformation that has taken root in popular culture, combining two iconic things Sherlock does indeed say in the books into one superquote if you will.

People tend to remember the best and the worst parts the most and very seldomly exact detail. They then stylize the moments after the fact into even more cohesive and iconic moments and perpetrate those. It's something evreyone does to an extend.

As someone who is very bad with retaining exact quotes but very good at retaining context, I often slightly misquote things. The meaning will still be the same, but the quote will be a misquote.

I could have sworn it was "looney toons" if someone asked me.
Same with the sliver leg of C3PO.... Im like "wasnt he always completely golden?"

But Im probably just remembering things wrong.

Guys

"magic mirror on the wall, whos the fairest of them all" ?

or

"mirror,mirror on the wall, whos the fairest of them all" ?

There's research in neuroscience that suggests that memory is not a static thing, it changes through time, that in fact, it works more like a telephone game. 

Thoughts and memories are nothing but electric impulses moving through connections between neurons, those connections (like every physical object) undergo decay, when that happens the brain can compensate it by creating or using other connections, hence, the misremembering and memory change.

CERN is not going to open gates to any "new dimensions", its metaphoric speech, like the moniker "Gods particle" for the Higgs boson. They were refering to the 750 GeV bump apparently detected at ATLAS and CMS, which by the way, has already dissapeared upon further analysis, it was nothing but a statistical anomaly.

It would've opened "new dimensions" to particle physics research, nothing more, nothing less.

Who saw the ape in the backround?

Don't you know the test?

You brain focuses on certain stuff and filters other stuff out which is not interesting. So you see only the stuff you want to see and remembers it like that.

That Silver leg of C3PO blew my mind, but looking at the bad image quality of ep 4-6, you don't really see the silver leg. Therefor you remember that the whole c3po being golden. I am not a huge star wars fan, so I am not really much into details on characters.

On a crystal clear image, you can see it perfectly.

But here for example,

You barely notice the difference if you take the picture as a whole.

Yup same, I didn't know about it till just now, but it's not surprising considering I grew up watching Star Wars on VHS, and the prequels which were the only ones I saw with decent quality video he didn't have a silver leg, so yeah. It's not surprising in the slightest people didn't know he had a silver leg.
