What if what we call the Mandela effect is simply extremely skilled gaslighting by Big Tech or some Government agency, with the goal to make us question what we remember and what is true and our own sanity to destabilize the population and distract us?
It would be incredibly easy in this largely tech based world to accomplish this.
And the goal of narcissist gaslighting is essentially the same thing, to make people believe that they are going nuts.
Idk, i can totally see it. BTW i sent the Brittney dress post to my ex wife, who was a huge Brittney fan, and she said it was 100% plaid in her recollection.
My husband and I have started daily Scripture reading together. It’s the best part of my day <3
It's real, not done by deception. I have two personal examples. 1st is the James Bond "moonraker" movie with the old Lurch from Adam's family playing "jaws". When he meets his blond girlfriend they connect because they both have braces on their teeth. She's not bad looking and he's a goon, there is no other reason she would connect with him. So the scene I remember vividly is them looking at each other, him smiling and showing his grill and then she smiling with a hideous set of braces. That movie no longer shows her with braces at all and according to the actress/director, that scene never existed. But no one can explain that scene and why a good looking girl was attracted to jaws in it. It makes zero sense without the braces. The 2nd is the spelling of the Berenstein Bears, which I used to read to my daughter all the time back in the mid 2000's.
You're not crazy. I remember that from Moonraker, too. And the bears, although I remember reading once that it was an intentional change.
Digging into Sandy Hook, it seems they changed the year on that. Some of the anons here have archived stuff to show it.
Wait, what? Thought it was 2012.
You have to look through the Sandy Hook stuff to find it. But it's there in the summaries and the comments. I was late to the Sandy Hook stuff, don't have any sources, just learned about it here, and the year change kind of stood out.
Yeah I read those as a kid with my parents so that one kind of confounds my theory also
Brittney dress?
The recent one for me has been Chic fil a

What did they do to Chick-fil-A?
Back in the day, it was Chic-fil-a. Remember? kinda cringing at every commercial? Chic-fil-a.
It was always spelled Chick-fil-A, but they have/had very prominent advertising of cows with signs saying "eat more chiken" where chicken is spelled wrong.
The advertising was more memorable than the sign on the building, which is also in a less readable font. It is pretty obvious why people misremember this one. Less misremembering, and more just not knowing in the first place because nobody actually read the logo.
get lost, glowie. Your comment history does not check out.
I'm a glowie because I remember Chick-fil-A being spelled that way since the beginning. This has got to be the weirdest glowie accusation I've ever seen.
maybe that wasnt the correct insult for someone so arrogant as to tell me i am wrong, just bc you remember it differently. I probably should have said arrogant prick. Would have been more precise.
You are wrong. It was always spelled Chick-fil-A. You're just misremembering because the logo is so stylized that nobody actually reads it. But people do read the abundance of advertisements where they actually spelled it "chiken," so that's what people, including you, remember.
It's not just my memory versus yours. It's your memory (with an easy explanation for why you are misremember, or, rather, why you never actually knew in the first place), versus literally all of the evidence. It's a hard sell for you to say that they covertly replaced all the signs and material with signs with a different spelling. I also have an old picture that I literally took myself from years ago where the Chick-fil-A logo happens to be in the background.
What you're not realizing is that the premise of the OP can be true, and you still be wrong. If the goal was to get people to question their own memories, it would be far more effective to start putting out seedlings (such as an ad that says "eat more chiken" that is more prominent than the logo itself) to get you to actually misremember, than it would be to somehow go back and change all instances of the sign in history.
Was it always spelled with a “k”?
People have questions.
There are some interesting tiktoks about it:

You're right. I was going to spell it without the K, but autocorrect did me in.
Yeah I kinda remember Chik-fil-a.
Also there was one here at the mall in the 80s that served Chicken Littles which were basically a small piece of chicken on a slider bun. Yet now it seems KFC serves them?
This is what I believe is happening. Same reason why talking heads all change established pronounciations of cities and names in unison.
Mandela is fake. It's just people trying to mess with your minds. It's always been Jif peanut butter, Gov. Connelly and his wife were in the car when JFK was shot, and Mandela didn't die in the 80s in any timeline. I was alive for all those and remember them perfectly well.
Britney's dress was always black in the video. I saw it on TV when it first came out.
I don't buy the Mandella Effect, although I do find it interesting. In my opinion much of it is thing people remember but said memories are influenced by others questioning/altering memories.
Berenstein Bears for example, I remember reading the books as a child and believe I called them Berensteen. Can I say for sure that's what it was? Nope. It may very well have been steen or stein but like tow-may-tow/tow-mah-tow, it's all in how it's pronounced.
I was thinking about this today and the whole Britney plaid black skirt in her video Hit Me Baby One More Time I swear it was green plaid but everything I find is black. Like CERN started their machine back up what if only the awake People Like Us are affected by the mandala effect that's why some people get it and some people don't the people that don't aren't going to move to the next stage of the Awakening I don't believe so I don't know Saturday thoughts I guess
Plausible. I've seen theories that the vaxx is an intelligence test and those that got it are not going to be able to ascend. So it could be part of that.
I would tend to agree with you, except that the items change in real physical life. For example: Fruit of the Loom logo is now missing the cornucopia. People that have owned even vintage Fruit of the Loom clothing no longer have the cornucopia in the logo. Same with the Berenstein Bear books, which are now “Berenstain” - people who own the books remember it one way, but physical evidence shows that it’s always been the other way. Those are two of the biggest ones.
There are many more including Bible changes (lion and the lamb is now the wolf and the lamb), logo and spelling changes. And major changes such as doesn’t everybody remember at the heart being on the left side of the body? Now it’s supposed to be in the center?! Everyone remembers Ed MacMahon and those big checks? Supposedly he never worked for Publishers Clearing House.
Actually I think all of this points to the fact that we’re living in a simulation. How easy would it be for someone to “Control+F” and change all instances of something to something else? It seems to be the only thing is not affected is artistic renderings.
I'm gonna sound crazy but I swear there was an extra line in the Lords Prayer.
I'd have to check my Bible for the wolf lamb thing bc I could have sworn it was lion too
Exactly, that's the point about the mandela effect.. we all remember it "the lion lays down with the lamb" but now evidence shows it's "the wolf and the lamb"... I think the original verse is from Isaiah 11:6: "The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together; and a little child shall lead them."
