Alternative Explanations for 'The Mandela Effect'

[JohnEmmett]

There is no actual evidence.

Most would disagree

 

[Freodin]

There are many explanations, but the most probably is the media effect. Media presents things one way over and over and people begin to think it is true.

It doesn't even have to be the media. People present things in one way or another, for a vast variety of reasons... and with just a bit of reinforcement, they think it's true.

That's usually not a problem. That's just humans being humans. It only turns into a problem when people cannot admit that they might be wrong.

I know what fiction is. And that is the point.

Like you know there is no god

 

[Freodin]

Most people would disagree

Many people make many claims. But I am happy with them disagreeing... as long as they can present evidence instead of claims.

Which they never can.

Life is evidence of god

There is not a lack of evidence

Funny.

Yes, exactly in the same way.

Which isn't the way you think it is. But we have already established that only your view of things is valid, and nothing anyone else says is relevant.

Because you never bother to "investigate" and don't give a fig about "truth".

See... there's 20 years of posts from me right here on this forum. If you want to understand my views, you could look. Or just ask.

But it's easier to just make up stuff. It gets rid of the pesky little problem of reality disagreeing with your opinions.

Everything is evidence or nothing is

Depends how you look at it

I do not know

Have you checked your memory? Do we finally have an acknowledgement that your memory is not perfect?

The reason you don't know is that you've got yourself to a stage where you can no longer make stuff up. Once you try to go beyond the trivial claim, you have nothing. There is no memory of differences because you were not actually in a different timeline, you just have a faulty memory in this timeline.

How are you even coming up with this information

I checked my memory, and there it all was. And you can verify it all yourself if you want to.

Does that address Hokkaido being connected to Honshu or Faiyum Oasis not existing?

 

[JohnEmmett]

Does that address …?

the false memory concept

the false memory concept

We weren't discussing other people's faulty memory, we were discussing yours. Please try to stay on topic.

Who is from my original timeline … ''Alice in Wonderland''

Anyone else here from my original timeline?

We all are.

How would you even know?

If we follow your idea, they could be from the "timeline" where the Faiyum oasis didn't exist, New Zealand was in a different place, Arctica was a landmass, South America had shifted, etc... AND STILL have some tiny littly minute detail different. Because "timelines are close".

You have reduced this effect to "something someone (perhaps myself) told me they remember". That's all. All other means you have discarded, denied, destroyed.
If there is no independent evidence, it is "retconned". If there is, it is "residual".

It all comes down to your personal preference. Streets adding lanes? Sure, you take that. Holmes' first name being different? No, that's just not right.


This is the most pathetic and self-serving approach to any "effect" that is possible.

How would you even know?

You only have your memory

 

[Freodin]

You only have your memory

Which is a very good thing for you.

If you had to go with other sources, like books or such, you would be completely lost, giving your poor reading comprehension.

 

[Bungle_Bear]

You only have your memory

Do you remember me demonstrating to you before how my memory showed yours to be faulty? Why are you still pretending your memory should be trusted?

 

[JohnEmmett]

Why are you still pretending your memory should be trusted?

My memories are the same as everyone who remembers the original reality
