Welcome to The Mandela Effect
DEFINITION
"The phenomenon where a group of people discover that a global fact - one they feel they know to be true and have specific personal memories for - has apparently changed in the world around them."
Note
Given nature of the effect, 'evidence' inevitably takes the form of shared personal memories; physical evidence of the previously remembered state is unavailable. If such evidence is discovered, that's proof of an alternative explanation.
● Check out META MANDELA for satire and chat.
OVERVIEW
A Mandela Effect is where you realise that something you knew to be a general fact of the world, no longer seems to be true.
The "effect" is named after a particularly common example: many people remember Nelson Mandela dying in prison in the 1980s, when in fact he survived long after his release.
Examples
● Celebrity deaths that now didn't happen.
● Geographical locations which seem to have shifted.
● Movies, books whose details seem to have changed.
Not Examples
● Personal reality-breaking experiences (go here).
● Things that you can't quite remember (go here).
● When you don't have a specific personal memory.
