Personal Experience Berenstein/Berenstain Bears evidence of parallel universes

Lmao at the Tim Kelly winning a Brownlow mis-memory

That's a microcosm of what Mandela Effect is

It's always the tiniest errors which can be handwaved away by faulty memories or other very explanable errors.

Why isn't there something gigantic like there suddenly being 9 Continents in the world?

Or people drinking air and breathing in water?

It really needs to die
 
That idea isn't mine, saw it in one of the forums but the idea of ' -nstein conditioning' made the most sense to me. I'm all for a parallel universe in which in 30 years time Essendon's drug doings are all but forgotten and replaced with another halcyon period of success in place of the Hawks.

FWIW, the missus swore it was the Berenstein Bears when I broached the topic to her today too.

If I had to create the easiest spelling stuff up in the world it would be 99% Berenstein/Berenstain.

It's one ****ing letter and the word is virtually pronounced identical, no matter which way you spell it.

Worst CT of all time

Surely if people have experienced a difference in spelling of Berenstein Bears, there's also a 'Berenstein Baars' floating around somewhere? Or 'Berenstain Beers'?

Or do parallel universes have to adhere to Human race spelling/grammar rules? And are limited to only one spelling difference per instance?

It just makes less than 0 sense

Heard two songs on the radio today that sounded completely different, U2 the sweetest thing and Hunters and collectors throw your arms around me.

Could just be different mixes but it would be weird, especially on a mainstream commercial station to start playing alt versions of popular songs.

I don't think you have the right thread

Have you heard the excellent Hunters and Collectors joke?


Q: What's the difference between a moose and the band Hunters and Collectors?

A:
A moose has the horn section up front and the arseh*le at the back.

Yeah for the record on Kelly I look at it as some sort of explainable psychological memory fault. It still interests me as to what caused it.

The Mandela effect is interesting regardless of whether you approach it as a linguist, psychologist or conspiracy theorist.

Kelly winning the Brownlow never went into the Zeitgeist like a Berenstain Bears did so that's a no from me dog

For me, the Mandela confusion is the only one close to being confusing. Also the Jaws braces one too. But no more

Both of those things are also mass media things, so find me a super niche world changing Mandela Effect

Because surely a Mandela Effect isn't dependant upon how many people 'notice' it

It should be everywhere, all the time

I actually don't get it

Is it a dig at Mark Seymour?

Nah you've missed my point entirely.

I'm not looking at all at world changing stuff. I'm saying that the phenomenon where we misremember things is interesting. Even more interesting when many people misremember the same things for the same reasons.

The group misremembering is easily explained by the power of suggestion

Yes that sort of thing is exactly what I'm saying. I think that is the part that is very interesting in terms of understanding how our brains and memory works.

What is that suggestion, where did it come from.

With Berenstain its probably clear for example from a linguistic perspective - we are used to having names end with stein, not stain, so our brains all made the logical leap to fit "Berenstein" in with this set. It gets even more interesting though when we have image-based memories of "Berenstein" in terms of book covers etc. It means our photographic memories can be influenced by these links in our mind.

Regarding the Berenstein thing, I have no doubt there was a printing error somewhere along the line, resulting in Berenstain, which is the the poster boy event for an accidental mistake, considering Berenstein and Berenstain couldn't be pronounced more identical, especially to different countries

What's more plausible? The world's easiest spelling mistake, or 'a' instead of 'e' the evidence of parallel worlds?

Spoiler: I actually think there could be a multiverse, but this isn't evidence

Debunk this one GG.exe

It wasn't an error - the writers of the series were called "Berenstain": https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/childrens/childrens-authors/article/50811-obituary-jan-berenstain.html#:~:text=Jan Berenstain, co-creator of,, Brother, and Sister Bear.

I think my issue here is that you seem to be making the assumption that the Mandela effect is only worth discussing if you believe it shows evidence of parallel worlds. What I'm saying is that its a fascinating phenomenon to discuss no matter what the reasons behind its existence are.

One vowel changed through a printing error isn't fascinating, it's banal and Laughable

No evidence there is even one book anymore in existence with an "e", no evidence of a printing error whatsoever. If there were a whole line of book prints with an "e" in existence, isolated to that run of print, then a cause of printing error would make sense. But no....it's that millions of people have always remembered OR THOUGHT they remembered it with an "e" but apparently always an "a". There's a difference there.
 
Berenstain is debunkable simply because you can say stein is far more frequent than stain as a name suffix. And people just mis-remembered. But that case of ME doesn't necessarily mean all MEs are bullshit. There are some that make no sense whatsoever and still defy various explanations.

There. Someone ****ed up a super easy thing to **** up. Thousands read the alternate spelling now we're all in the Spidey-Verse. Dr Strange would be proud.

When will this die
 
Why don't we have an alternate Golden Gate Bridge with 1 strand of metal different that everyone is going crazy over?

BECAUSE IT'S THE SHITTEST CONSPIRACY THEORY OF ALL TIME

I'm referring to the actual book spelling. Not TV guides.

It doesn't matter. There was a tiny mistake in some sort of media and people confused the two. How can you not see the logic
 
Why are witness testimonies considered terrible by detectives? Because people have very fallible memories if it's not within a very small window of time

Why do you want every single CT to be true?
