The 'Mandela Effect'

So there's been a phenomenon that is circulating around the world called the Mandela Effect. If you don't know what the Mandela Effect is, it's a phenomenon where a group of people remember things specifically but are not really true. So basically it's mind just as the tag says duh. It is named after a late South African president / racist / terrorist / communist (that's what he really is, go research) Nelson Mandela who died in 2013. Supposedly, many people remembered him dying in prison in the 80's, recalling about all the newspaper, news, articles headlines that they swore they saw.

So, that's the Mandela Effect. Named after a racist and terrorist president.

Do you have the same memory? I do to! I recall seeing him die in prison in the 1980's. Courtesy of my History teacher.

Another example is the Berenstain Bears. People recall it having spelled Berenstein but guess what? It's always been Berenstain! HAHA. 

The painting of Mona Lisa... everybody knows it, right? She's known or her mystery if she's smirking  / smiling or not... but then historical paintings are not also safe! Turns out Mona Lisa had that smirk all along! Seriously, my mind just blew on this one and said  I give up. I remember all the way back in school that she's known for her mysterious smirk! Not the cute smirk as they call it. Tell me which one is more natural:

Exhibit A                                                                                         Exhibit B

(Look closely; there's a difference between the two and I'm not making this up!)

And we all know Pikachu, right? That cute, adorable yellow Pokemon with black-striped ears, and tail... or did he?

Yeah, pffft. Glitch in the Matrix. More like the universe is ing with our minds. There, that's my conspiracy theory. So tell me which one is more familiar and natural to you. I actually think Pikachu with black tip on his tail is the more familiar one.

Remember Looney Toons? That old cartoon back in the 1930's? Well apparently, Looney Toons is not spelled that way (surprise surprise) it's spelled as ing Looney Tunes! WHAT!? Um, I think Looney Toons is the correct one because Toons? As in Cartoons? 

There are alot of Mandela Effect in the net so check out for yourself.
