I'll admit, this is the first time I've come across this phenomenon but I can't deny it's pretty damn intriguing and often hilarious. Some of my Mandela effect moments would have to be that Madonna's name was actually Maria and not Madonna as it's stated now. That, yes, Sinbad was in a damn Genie movie called Shazam. I refuse to believe otherwise!
What are your Mandela effect moments?

Most of my Mandela moments has to do with movies. I remember one scene but when I go watch that scene years after is like mirrored [instead of the character talking from the left he is talking from the right, etc]
I also used to have a lot of deja vu [and I do mean a lot].
Hannibal doesn't say 'hello, Clarice'? My life is shattered.
From now on I'm keeping logs on every movie I watch. Scene for scene.

Another one: Carrie (1976)... everyone thinks the first scene is the shower scene.
I have to rewatch SotL. I m positive he says Hello Clariice. There's even nod to it in the tv show.

Do that and give us a final verdict.
Fun article I have these moments all the time but am just called dumb. Mandela effect is much nicer. Never heard the C3PO one before. Did you know that Rodent?

I will. This is giving me a meltdown. I jumped up and cheered t the 'Hello Dr Lecter' nod in the tv show.
LOL. This is hilrious. I can hear him saying hello clarice as I read that.

I just been watching a vid on Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal.
Some idiot saying the Illuminati have changed the lyrics from "You've been hit by, you've been struck by, a smooth criminal" to "You've been hit by, you've been hit by, a smooth criminal"
:laugh:
The line has always been a repeat of "hit by"... but if you check a little further into the song, at 2 minutes 30 seconds, he does say "You've been hit by, you've been struck by, a smooth criminal".
The Mandela Effect, is purely psychological.
People hear "You've been hit by, you've been hit by, a smooth criminal"... all good and well... then when Jackson sings "You've been hit by, you've been struck by, a smooth criminal", it stands out, and people hear it more. Then take it as a given that the line has always been "Struck by".
What's the C3PO one?
I believe it's the one stating he actually has a silver leg. But even some on set didn't notice, so I can see how that can be mistaken.

Oh that. I've always known 3PO had a silver leg :D

I'm not buying it. Sinbad played a Genie.

You don't want to know what I'm POSITIVE he says in a certain line of "Beat It". I double take every time and think...did he just say.. bah. They'd never let him.

The "We Are the Champions" one got me.

There's a logical explanation for this. It's apparently just not in the original version. Also, in some of his live shows he would change the lyrics to say "of the world" at the end of the song.
For example (skip to 2:50)....

So I decided to try and find some new ME's, since the subject generally fascinates and sometimes terrifies me. A new one seems to be the Elisa Lam story which apparently changed from the tank lid being shut to it was always open. It's perfectly reasonable for articles to be edited as new information comes out, so I'm trying to find something along those lines. So far it seems to be that that's the way it was always reported. Say huh? I remember the lid was shut and she couldn't possibly open it on her own to go in the tank. Among other details that seem to have changed now.
Then there's the theory that it was all just misinformation by some random person that gained traction. Either way, this should keep me busy for a good bit.
Okay, did more reading and it says details may have been misconstrued with one article saying the maintenance hatch was too small and they had to cut it open to get her out. Memory really is a wonder.

I swear I remember a Civil Rights crisis in the 60's - a lot of upheaval, riots, marches, and segregation was brought to an end. Ultimately laws were passed (some allegedly by LBJ) to make discrimination illegal, which put races on more equal footing, and a lot of programs were enacted to balance the scales of social justice.
Apparently, none of that occurred and instead it's happening now.
Watched the movie The Mandela Effect over the weekend, which of course had me scratching my head and looking up random stuff about the Monopoly man and The Berenstein Berenstain Bears. The movie was just OK, but the subject matter was pretty compelling.
Hm. Wasn't that spelled with two Ls?
