Retared Alternate Reality Theory

That would take a John Titor with Mr. Enter levels of autism to do that.
Only crazy spergs have the gumption to cross the time barrier. Like Mad Man Markam.
 
I've been off and on reading about this phenomenon today and it's pretty interesting. There are a whole bunch of these spergs on reddit,
Apparently, it's called the "Mandela effect." It's named such because a large amount of people (including me, until now) believed Nelson Mandela died in prison years ago, when actually he died in 2013.
Most of the people involved in this.. whatever it is tend to speculate this is evidence of an alternative reality, where Nelson Mandela DID die in prison years ago and the Berenstain Bears WERE called the Berenstein Bears.
Other Mandela effect things:
-Some people remember Mr. Rogers dying in 2011 or later, not several years earlier in 2003.
-Some people remember Chakotay dying in a mid season episode of Voyager, then suddenly reappearing a few episodes later. This one is pretty interesting to me because I'm a Star trek sperg and because a lot of people have independently brought this up in detail at conventions and and gotten really confused when other people point out there was no such episode. I wonder if this had something to do with air times, like maybe they aired an episode where something happened to him followed by a lot of Chakotay lite episodes (is that even a thing ?)
-Some people think Jif peanut butter was called Jiffy (Prob because of Jiffy Lube?)
-Some people think Ghost Hunters was called TAPS. Well, I guess the team in it are called TAPS so that's not a very big mystery there.
Anyway it's kinda interesting. What do you guys remember? I remember Nelson Mandela dying in prison, Berenstein Bears, Jif peanut butter, Mr. Rogers dying in 2003 and the other two are irrelevant.

Looking through that "Charles Schulz or Schultz?" stood out, I've heard the others before but apparently his name is Schulz. I swear there's a t in it.
 
Its been proven people only read the first part of a word and fill the rest in subconsciously. It's why you can read a sentence with a word lacking it's ending and you'd still understand it

Here people just pronounced it as Berenstein and just forgot it had a strange spelling.

Yeah, any time you want the the context of your post understood and to look larger is to add the to another the. Your brain is registering this sentence as longer, but seemed to just skip over the the issue.
