A real anime mandela effect would be something like my own memory of there being a version of Negima where Negi has green hair.

Did it let him screw the rules?

Considering what Negima is about, I would be more concerned about him screwing the students.

ok so i dont know if this counts but years ago there was this infomercial for nail clippers for your cats and dogs. i believe its call the pediperfect or something like that. but i swear like 3 or so years before it was named that there was an infomercial for the exact same thing but it was called the pedi-file /pet-e-file something like that and i have never been able to find proof that it was ever named that but i know it was. its like they finally realized having a product that sounds exactly the same as pedophile was a bad idea so they burned everything and it became lost media or something.

What you are remembering is an episode of the original version of Quantum Leap from the 90's. (She was supposed to die as well, but all Sam's jumping saved her life. It was a biiiig twist at the time because she never died in our reality.)

It's been a few years since I've seen Quantum Leap. I should go back and watch that one because I don't remember it as well as some others. I had to wait for reruns sometimes because my younger sister would have huge tantrums over Full House. Some episodes me and my brother watched on a broken TV with a distorted picture if it was playing ball with reception that day. I rarely got to see first run episodes on a decent set because of this.

My printer used to have usb port (you know, that specific usb printers use, annoying shape) rotated so it is onto its side, which was a complete ass due to it being located in a really deep hole.
I fiddled with it so much, I remember that shit very clearly.

But it changed to being located normal person way, horizontally. I am happy about that, but it made my paranoia fire up fierce.

Otherwise, I often get disappearing objects that fall on the floor, then are nowhere to be found when you move things, but this is not Mandela, just general reality bullshit.

I had this ME with the PS2 phat. One day I reached behind the right side of the console to press the switch and it wasn't there. I got kind of freaked out. I've heard of others having this experience. Likely just a brain fart. But it did upset me for a few seconds.

Now I did have a bizarre experience at the doctor's office a few years ago that rattled me pretty bad for days. I had a new insurance card so it had to be put into the system. I handed it to the receptionist, she scanned it and gave it back to me. I put it in my change purse. Then I was called back to the exam room. As I was sitting there a lady came and said I forgot my insurance card. She handed me the card and I got a really eerie feeling because I know I put my card away not a minute ago. So I checked my purse to see if they handed me the wrong person's card by accident. It wasn't there. There were no insurance cards at all save for the one that was just put in my hand. The one that I know I had just put away.

I know it could just be some weird forgetfulness. But I felt really off afterwards. It's also a really old hospital. They use the new modern building. But the old buildings and the chapel are still on the grounds. If you walk around the to the back of the grounds it's like stepping into another century. I can't imagine how many people died of now curable illness there. Not to mention the Spanish Flu pandemic.

Elites sacrificed kids to the demons, and all the reality changes they could muster was removing the cornucopia and some other unimportant things.

And people arguing about some dumb toucan and his froot circles.

As you said it's been a while, but if I recall it's a two-part where he starts out as Lee Harvey Oswald and then leaps into a CIA agent walking by the car as the shots go off so he ends up saving her.

This whole time he's Lee Harvey Oswald and you think it's the assassination as we know it that he's trying to prevent. Because he jumps around a lot in Lee Harvey Oswald which was also weird. Like he jumps into a person usually does the thing he needs to do and then he jumps out. But in these two he jumps at different points in Lee Harvey Oswald's life like when he was in Russia and the picture with the gun and all that but it doesn't do a continuous thing cuz it's years and years so he just hops around. But obviously watching it you think he's trying to stop Oswald from killing Kennedy


I would advise skipping the reboot though. The new Quantum Leap is as much a product of the times as the original. Let's put it that way the original call them self retard when he was going to downs body the remake has trans people.

Also fuck the original ending. Sam never made it home? Fuck off!

I swear when I first read about the Tuskegee Syphilis Study it said they secretely infected them with syphilis. Now it's just about withholding treatment in already infected men.

The most concrete proof I have in regards to personal MEs are just the feelings I get from watching certain pieces of media not being the same as what I got during my teen and childhood years. I don't mean in like nostalgia terms, but in terms of what the creator of the media piece is trying to convey to me. The human brain is surprisingly amazing at picking out small differences like this even if we're not conscious of it.

For what it's worth, I do remember the cornucopia with the fruit of the loom logo, but I don't have anything concrete like a core memory of it. It was just something I saw in passing as a child.

Now what if I told you that I spent a considerable amount of years falsely believing Yoko Ono once released a bizarre and satirical version of "Money That's What I Want".

When I was young, I remember hearing some strange cover version of that Money song on the radio, which had a female singer with a weird voice along with harsh, atonal musical instruments. One of my relatives told me it was Yoko Ono singing, thus I just kinda believed them and never bothered questioning it. Then each time I'd hear that exact song on the radio or in movies, I just assumed it was Yoko.

Flash forward to sometime fairly recently -- as in a few years ago -- and I was trying to search for Yoko Ono's Money song on Youtube. Alas I could not find any results. Lo and behold, the song I was thinking of was actually some 80's new wave post-punk song sung by a British woman. The band is actually called The Flying Lizards:

I had an existential crisis discovering that this song was not in fact sung by Yoko Ono. I honestly believed this was her for most of my life. This was a basically a Mandela Effect thing for me, but I chalk it up to just plain ignorance on my behalf.

I hope this is the dumping ground for mandelas.
Apparently there is a few special individuals that are correlating CERN (and other) colliders with mandelas.
It's an interesting project.

Also, a minor mandela occurred to me this morning. I'm still unpacking it.

Convinced I had a conversation on the bus to school with my friend Mike and some other kid about pokemon, it was the first time we had heard about it and called poke balls gay. Turns out pokemon didn't hit US shores until 2 years later

Maybe one of you had a Nintendo Power magazine or something and they showed a preview for the games?

But his name is spelled "onyx" it always has been? Its been burned into my brain as long as I can remember being "onyx" you know like the rock.

I vividly remember it being spelled "Onyx" in the games and trading cards back then too, wtf?

So maybe about 7 years ago, Van Morrison died. I specifically remember this because I used to live in a small village where he had a recording studio, and there was stuff in the news about it, and I walked past said studio and reflected on just how much I dislike everything about his music, and especially that fucking nasally voice he sings with.

Anyway, he's now currently alive, so my theory is either I've experienced a big shift from one reality to another, and hopefully theres a reason for it, or at least I get to maybe understand the rationale behind what happened. Or I just don't know what to think, which isn't really much of a theory actually

Thats my story.

yeah I recall poogermans were on the radar in the USA at least "oh hey there's this thing in Japan" even before the seizure episode, like there was a fan effort to translate the roms until Nintendo finally decided to pull the trigger on bringing it to the USA

There's proof.
Might be newer ones, but stopped paying attention.

Kidney punch, It's illegal, deadly, and banned in combat sports.
Too bad you have a ribcage blocking it since it's nestled way up there now.

Locate water in space to further indicate life being a possiblity elsewhere.
Too bad you have visible polar ice caps on Mars easily seen with a telescope.
