A few days ago I was on the internet and I was looking for different stuff, one that caught my attention was the Mandela Effect.The Mandela Effect refers to a phenomenon in which a large number of people share false memories of past events, referred to as confabulation in psychiatry. Some have speculated that the memories are caused by parallel universes spilling into our own, while others explain the phenomenon as a failure of collective memory.
I found it very interesting so I documented a bit.
About mandela many people remember that he died in 1980 in jail, but the truth is that he died in 2013.
Blogger Fiona Broome coined the term "Mandela effect" to describe a collective false memory she discovered at the Dragon Con convention. Simplified, is a phenomenon where a large number of people remember something that didn't actually happen.
In 2010, since this phenomenon has arisen, examples of this kind have grown, where people have other memories than others.
Here are some examples:
Mona Lisa's "Smile"
Was Mona Lisa smiling in Da Vinci's famous painting? Some people say yes, and some people say no.
My toughts about the painting were that she didn't smile in it. People believe the painting has changed over the years and at first she did not smile.
The Monopoly Man Never Had A Monocle
Everyone knows that Monopoly Man; but the question is : has he ever had a monocle or didn't he?
The Controversial KitKat Bar
Many people remember the packaging with the dash. But which one was? KitKat or Kit-Kat?
My personal example of this is that every day me and a good friend walked past a sign in the parking lot that was blue, but we always notice together that it is red.
And there are many other examples, these are just a few of them. Let me now what do you think about Mandela Effect and what kind of examples do you experienced _ If you like my post please give me a upvote and follow me for more _
