Mysterious example of mandela effect.
The Mandela Effect, a freaky phenomenon causing the collective miss-remembering of a fact or event. Tens of thousands of people, or in some cases more, all claim to have a memory of something that never actually occurred. What could cause such a phenomena? Have we crossed into an alternate reality? Nobody knows, but the following examples are some of the most famous going on right now Here are the mysterious examples of the Mandela Effect.
5)Sex in the City.
The Mandela Effect can bring about a subtle shift in our reality. A change which is so small that most don't even consider it, but when one of the most popular TV shows changes its title as if by magic, a lot of fans are going to take notice. That's exactly what happened with the show Sex and the City. The romantic comedy drama series was a big hit when it aired from 1998 until 2004, but soon after fans started noticing a problem with Sex in the City. That being the title has always been Sex and the City. You would think for a show which has such a fervent following, that its fans would at least get the name right, and so debate has raged for many years over the name of the show and why so many fans remember the title being different.
4) human skull.
Think of all those classic depictions of the human skull throughout the years. Even during Hallowe'en for example, you'll see creepy skeletons with grinning faces and black, empty eye sockets staring at you, but recently a number of people following the Mandela Effect have suggested that there's been another reality shift as it pertains to those very skulls. You see, while we might remember the human skull having dark, empty eye sockets, the truth is the socket is actually covered in bone. This has caused great debate in the Mandela Effect community about whether this was always the case. Some have even looked for residual clues that the eye sockets were once empty, and have found the evidence in artwork where snakes are crawling out of the eye sockets as if there was no bone there at all.
3) Pikachu's tail.
One of the most famous examples of the Mandela Effect involves the popular card game and animated cartoon, Pokemon. The most popular Pokemon character is arguably Pikachu, an electric type Pokemon who was introduced in the original first generation iteration of the card game. Pikachu is famous for his bright, rabbit-like design including being bright yellow all over, but many people believe that this was not always the case. The Mandela Effect seems to have altered the appearance of this iconic character. Many believe that Pikachu originally had a yellow tail with a black tip. Fans of the card game and cartoon especially hold this view. No one can explain what happened, and so the changing appearance of Pikachu remains a mystery to all. Think about Pikachu for a moment, how do you remember him? Did he always have a black-tipped tail, or was he always yellow, as he currently is in reality?
2) The Thinker.
Auguste Rodin's statue, The Thinker, shows a man in deep contemplation. First presented to the public in 1904, the bronze statue is one of the most famous of its kind. The depiction of a man sitting on a rock in deep thought became so renowned that it even entered popular culture with people imitating the pose of the statue leaning over, resting its forehead on its fist, thinking, but there's just one problem. That's not the pose of The Thinker. In the now-existing statue, The Thinker rests its chin on its hand. This has caused widespread controversy as millions of people around the world are certain that the original The Thinker always rested its forehead on its fist. This bizarre change is so drastic that when many people look at the statue, it just doesn't look right, creating a sense of unease in the viewer as though reality itself has been warped.
1) 50 states.
If you live in the United States, you've probably been taught that there are 50 states in the Union, but many people claim that they were taught that there were more states than that in the US. No one is quite sure where this strange phenomenon comes from, but a simple Google search shows that this isn't a small group. It's a large number of people across the globe who believe this. What's freaky about this Mandela Effect is that those who think that there are more states, tend to agree with each other that there are 52 states. Now some assert that this misunderstanding comes from believing that the US territories such as Puerto Rico are actually states when they're not. But despite this, there are a growing number of people who believe that reality has somehow shifted, and the consequence is that the US has fewer states than it used to.
So all of these cases of the Mandela Effect beg the question, how do you remember them? Are they exactly as they are today, or do you remember them as something else? Only you can answer that.
