Mandela effects and personal Mandela effects thread - Bernstein/Bernstain, Pikachu Tail, Mandela, now we got those out of the way.

I have a weird one where I remember it spelled "Stein" but it always being pronounced "Stain", and thinking it was weird even as a kid that it wasn't pronounced "Stein" because of how R.L. Steins name from Goosebumps was pronounced.

The whole stain/stein thing bugs me because I learned to read by sounding words out. I've always pronounced it as 'steen'. Even as a child I wasn't retarded enough to sound out 'stain with a long e sound. 'Ei' doesn't make that sound either but as a kid that would have made more sense than if it was 'ai'.

On another note, the girl from James Bond in the Jaws movie that had braces. I distinctly remember my dad explaining to me that Jaws fell in love with the girl because they both had metal on their teeth. The weird thing is if you look up the draft script for the movie, she does have braces but not in the actual movie

 

[xXx: State of the Union]

R.L. Stein is actually spelled R.L. Stine.

hahah, that's a good one.

*looks it up*



Yous alls niggas giving me a Mandella Effect in this very fucking topic!?

Megamind is one of my favourite movies of all time, and I am pretty sure that I remember well that in the scene where Megamind crawls to the car, Roxanne has a street sign and hits Hal with it on the head, then Hal retaliates hitting Roxy launching her to the side, I am pretty sure that happens in the movie and I can not find the evidence to prove it.

Here Roxanne approaches Tighten


Then after Tighten launches Megamind to the sky, she still has the sign but she is closer to the crossline than when she approached Hal


I am pretty sure that he hits Roxanne, as I clearly remember my mom reactioning with "what an asshole" on that scene.

Wait what's so Mandela about Pikachu's tail? 'Cause my Mandela is that I swear there was a coloring page/black-and-white picture of Tai Kamiya and Ash Ketchum facing off in reference to the playground wars of the two properties. Unless the fifth/sixth-grader who put the science fair project together did some really good Photoshop in early-2000s.

 

[biscuitscilia]

I seriously thought Kitkat had a hyphen in it.

 

[Friendly Primarina]

Idk if this counts given how unpopular the character is, but Charmy Bee was never called "Charmy the Bee"

That pikachu had a black tip on his tail, I believe. I could be wrong though.

I played that game too, and I remember it saying both phrases at different times before it sped up. Maybe it sped up twice, or could be set to have more stages?

My example: I was taught to spell it "bandana" but it turns out that's been a variant spelling all along. The primary spelling is "bandanna," and seeing red squiggles under the former made my worldview lurch to one side.

Also it's derived from Sanskrit and not at all Spanish. Now that I type this out, this might just be trivia and not Mandala Effect, but by the power of autism I swear I have never encountered the "bandanna" spelling until recently unless it was a typo. OR SO I THOUGHT.

I've only ever known it as "bandana" too. Spellcheck is weird. It insisted "cancelled" is the wrong spelling for that word, despite it being a regional variant that's used interchangeably. And it used to mark "internet" with a lowercase i as incorrect. I've also recently typed stuff correctly just for it to say it's wrong, only to search and find out I spelled it right the first time.

"Bandana". Hm. I probably learned that word from playing Secret of Mana when I was wee. Let me just check, and...


Well, shit.

I don't automatically assume spellcheck is right; it's great for "did I fuck up 'perceive' again" but when it suddenly clashes with my entire worldview, it's time to look things up.

There's probably some great conspiracy theory out there about The Powers Behind Spellcheck quietly changing our worldview by adjusting our typing...

...well, it's not the la-li-lu-le-lo.

He did though.

Wait.

What?

There was this one Undertale animation I saw a couple of years back and in my mind, I imagined these two having an ideal voice cast voicing their dialog. And ever since then, I somehow tricked myself into believing this one video had voice acting for these two. Come a few years later I found out this video never had any VAs to begin with.

There is this weird scene in Scary Movie 2 where the creepy butler with the deformed hand called Hanson (Chris Elliot) is trying to help the wheelchair guy (David Cross) who is dangling from a lamp post right outside the window by offering him his "little hand" but the wheelchair dude refuses and falls down. I specifically remember him saying "No take my strong hand!" but instead he says "No my other hand isn't strong enough!". It's very weird because I remember my sister and my friends would quote this line all the time back then.

Also I could have sworn that the R.E.M. song "Everyone Hurts" was actually called "Everyone Cries" until I learned otherwise.

[The Cunting Death]

Kirk never said “Beam me up, Scotty” closest he got was “Scotty, beam me up”

He said Beam us up Scotty before on The Animated Series. The phrase itself comes from a bumper sticker.

Ralph Wiggum never said "I'm helping!"

 

[Colon capital V]

Ralph Wiggum never said "I'm helping!"

Of course not, he was "learnding"

 

[Aunt Carol]

Ralph Wiggum never said "I'm helping!"

I thought that was from Sealab 2021, the Bizarro episode.

The Smithsonian Institute is now the Smithsonian institution
DEA was Drug enforcement agency and now it's the Drug enforcement Administration
CDC was center for disease control and now it's centers for disease control
Reality is fluid, you freak out when it becomes apparent but then you get over it

I can recall reading on some onlines in the day that Terry Gilliam did a lot of miscellaneous uncredited work on the Hitchhiker's Guide movie helping to finish it after Douglas Adams died, but I can't find shit about it searching the other day.

 

[Jean ValJean]

I thought Henry Kissinger died years ago.
