Alternative Explanations for 'The Mandela Effect'

[JohnEmmett]

So what is the relevance of you asking me to check my memory?

Even if you don't accept the idea of "false memory"... even you would have to be aware that many people do not have any memory of specific things or events.

Some examples, I do not know

I am not mistaken, others remember (the same…)

Ok. So what?

You have nothing to offer. Nothing to any amount of precision. No evidence. No testability. Just your claims that "I am not mistaken."

The problem with your claims is that are are absolutely indistinguishable from you being mistaken. So even if you were, in whatever way, correct in your assertions... it doesn't matter. At all.

[JohnEmmett]

I see it every day. … you might of understood.

every day, (almost) everyone wakes up, remembers who they are


this can't last, for one reason or another


however, while it lasts, memory is unfailing

This can be experimentally shown to be false, and even if you don't accept these results, your position makes it impossible to demonstrate the correctness of this claim.

For example…

For example…

Ah, "for example".
Well... can you cite a single example of conflicting memories that you don't interprete as some sort of "time loop", "paralell universe" or another phenomenon of that sort? Can you name a single example of a memory that was wrong and remembered incorrectly?

I remember several skeptics saying the effect is true after all
