I'm thinking of re-titling this blog 'Thinking Starts Below-the-Fold.'

'That phrase & -name' (below-hyperlinked to hulu's offer of a movie about The Effect, when you order a subscription to their streaming-service (and get the first 30 days FREE) is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
"The Mandela Effect" occurs when a large number of people remember something happening (when it actually did not happen or happened differently)---named after the popular pseudo-memory of "South African President Nelson #Mandela dying in prison in the 1980s" (when in fact he lived until 2013). 
The name “Mandela” is a variant of the name "#Mandala," built on words that mean "|Spectacles (|Eye-Glasses)."

Other popular pseudo-memories include 'Darth Vader saying "Luke, I am your father" in EMPIRE STRIKES BACK' (when the actual line was "No! I am your father"); 'people remembering how Enterprise crew-members were always saying "Beam me up, Scotty!"' (when that line was never spoken once during the original STAR TREK series); and many others.

It's obvious how these glitches become popular---they're published, and others see them and repeat them.

Reminds me how Christians are frequently repeating 'misinterpretations' as if they were true---like "going to Heaven when you die" or "being surer of getting Godly gifts if more people pray for you" or "Satan being a scary, ugly devil."

(In fact, Heaven is merely the parts of life you can review in your mind when you rest; God gives his gifts with little mind paid to 'who all's praying for whom'; Satan is actually the most-beautiful angel ... maybe that makes him scarier--as you're less-likely to 'put up your defenses' to his beauty--but he's not 'repulsive!')


Other 'Mandela Effect' memories include
  • TechyTwist shares (though they mention "The Monopoly Guy Does Not Have a Monocle")
    1. A 'Picture' (not (in the saying, anyway) a 'Portrait') is Worth a Thousand Words.

    1. The fact that Jif peanut-butter was NEVER "Jiffy" (maybe people are confusing that with Skippy peanut-butter
    2. Bugs Bunny & Co. were with LOONEY TUNES (never "LOONEY TOONS")
    3. It was always The Berenstain Bears (never "Berenstein")
    4. Curious George never had a visible tail
    5. Though the four women were "In" the city having sex, the name of their series was "Sex AND the City"
    6. It's spelled "Febreze" (tho it's pronounced "febrEEze
    7. The meat-company is Oscar Mayer (not Meyer)
    8. no T in SKECHERS
    9. there ARE two "O"s in both words in Kellogg's FROOT LOOPS
