I specifically remember thinking that the bears were Jewish and asking my Mom is their name is pronounced Steen or Stine...

LOL, where in the world are you guys getting Berenstein? It was always Berenstain, I remember it as a small child. I also have no false memories about Mandela...really? Nor about most of the other things attributed to this. The Mandela Effect is simply misremembering, the brain's often faulty ability to make whole memories from parts. It gets it wrong often and this is only exacerbated when this seed is planted and the collective desire to be apart of it, the desire to want to believe. Go take some Gingko Biloba or something.

I think C3PO always had silver and nobody looked below his knee as R2D2 came up to his waist area.
I am more intrigued by Grab THEM by the Pussy vs Grab HER by the Pussy, as it just happened less than 24 hours ago. |

C3po was all fucking gold until 3 months ago. Now he had a silver fucking leg the whole time, fuck you he did not! Agreed. Also, it is now "Nobody doesn't like Sara Lee".... I remember it being "Nobody does it like Sara Lee." And the bears.... Totally wrong... Ok, this is the first I heard of Sara Lee, and I agree with you. It even had a jingle "Nobody does it quite like Sara Lee". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rt12Z6CnlhQ On the "If you build it he will come thing", I actually remember the "he" in that context because the voice was referring to Costner's father, who was one of the players that came from the corn field. Then there's the "Play it again, Sam" line supposedly from Casablanca, which Bogart never actually said once in the movie. People's memories suck, even when they're "sure" of their memories. |

Why is it called the Mandela Effect? jaws and that girl in Moonraker really messed me up with doubting memories... What was the moonraker one about? In Moonraker, Jaws falls for Dolly, a blonde girl with pigtails and glasses. She gives him a big smile and you can see she had braces, which was a funny visual gag, something they had in common. I have this recollection, too. If you watch Moonraker now, you will see her without braces. She did have braces. The scene would have no comic value , without braces. It was their connection. |

I actually remember my brother correcting me as a kid when I pronounced it Berenstein more than 30 years ago (l said it like just like Frankenstein). He showed me the cover of one of the books and made me read it correctly as Berenstain. My take on this is that it's all a bunch of horseshit. Memories can be fickle 20 or 30 years later. C3P0 also always had a silver leg. I remember that because I used to wonder what droid got cannibalized so that he could walk around.

Daniels recalled, "Even the stills photographer, John Jay, came up to me one day and said, 'Why are you wearing a silver leg today.' Now, he was the stills photographer, and he hadn't noticed."
Actually, the leg caused some problems for filming. "It would reflect the gold leg, and it would reflect in the desert, so it acted more of like a mirror," said Daniels. View Quote |

Just looked for scenes of C3P0, and yep, there's a silver leg. But the majority of scenes just don't show it that clearly. Because you spend more time filming waist up than waist down. And a lot of the scenes make it difficult to tell the color of the leg. On sand for example, the silver leg is reflecting the golden sand. Or the leg somewhat reflects the rest of him. So you spend most of your time looking at his face because you're a human and that's what you do and you characterize him as "that gold robot".

C3PO's leg was always silver below the knee. It reflected the gold of the rest of his body so it was very hard to tell. If you weren't looking you didn't notice.

None of this seems all that strange to me. Humans categorize things and make assumptions for simplicity. So we get stuff wrong. That makes perfect sense.

I'd chalk this up to an old guy remembering things like an old guy does. I'd give him more credence if he was able to tie this to another specific memory like the two examples I gave. While I don't recall the line from my childhood, I do remember it from the second release and as a reply to Luke telling Vader that he had killed Anakin Skywalker. It is a line that has been said wrongly in culture since the release of ESB. The subtle misquote for use in culture makes it easier to reference to the specific movie. I'll be honest.

From what I remember reading about the making of Star Wars, the C3PO actor broke the lower leg part of the costume the first time he wore it. The part did not get painted gold for some reason in the haste to begin filming and was that way from then on.

I'm 39 and was considered very smart and observant as a kid. I vividly remember correcting people about "magic mirror" and "no, I am your father." It bugged me they were saying it wrong. Same thing with Bernstein Bears. I remember trying to figure out why everyone was saying it wrong. None of these have changed in my lifetime. Jaws as well. It was always "You're gonna need a bigger boat." Memories, especially collective memories like these, are a very fickle thing.
However, the Chick FIL A thing is mind boggling. Even after looking at a sign today it is still in my mind as Chic Fil A. Weird. |

When you go to sleep at night you stop observing your current universe, and your mind begins to wonder the potentiality of different choices, what if's, essentially different universes. You're consciousness is basically in a sort of "hallway of the multiverse".
This "hallway" is infinitely long, with an infinite number of "doors" or passageways to alternate universes. Most of those close to you are almost exactly alike. Just little changes here and there, most wouldn't noticed the difference. And most of the time you wake-up back in the universe you fell asleep in. But every once in awhile, when you're in that "multiverse hallway" we call sleep your consciousness doesn't go back to the one it feel asleep in. It wakes-up in, or begins to observe, one of the slightly different universes very near your own. Most people stay within 42 of the closest related universes, In this range only the details change. But sometimes the real wanderers drifted further from their starting point, and begin to notice ...changes. Some big, and some small. |
