(+) Yeah! (+)

I voted no because I don't believe in the alternate dimension part of it

But it's okay, you wouldn't want to admit your wrong, even though your own 'source' shows it. Must just be you learned about the mandela effect in another reality

Maybe you would get higher quality discussion if you didn't compulsively end every post with something like this

False memories and the Mandela Effect are not interchangeable.

Correct, because it's about shared false memories. That's it. Why is not apart of it, that's why your source covers multiple possibilities. One from not a scientist, some from scientist, and others. All in disagreement with each other.

Your one of those people who unironically says gravity is just a theory because you don't understand the difference between the law of gravity (it exist, it pulls, it's constant) and the theory of gravity (how it works).

But it's okay, you wouldn't want to admit your wrong, even though your own 'source' shows it. Must just be you learned about the mandela effect in another reality

What scientific explanations are there for the Mandela Effect? Why does wikipedia only mention a paranormal consultant and pseudoscience? Why do they talk about shared memories elsewhere? I don't think gravity is just a theory, btw.

It doesn't, it also gives possible scientific explanations, you in fact quoted them.

Mandela EffectEdit
In 2010, this shared false memory phenomenon was dubbed the "Mandela Effect" by self-described "paranormal consultant" Fiona Broome, in reference to a false memory she reported of the death of South African leader Nelson Mandela in the 1980s (who was at the time still alive), which she claimed was shared by "perhaps thousands" of other people.[34][35][36] Other such examples include memories of the Berenstain Bears' name previously being spelled as Berenstein,[37][38] and of a 1990s movie Shazaam, starring comedian Sinbad as a genie.[32]

Pseudoscience commentators such as Broome have speculated about alternate realities as an explanation for such shared false memories. However, most science researchers and commentators suggest that these are instead examples of false memories shaped by similar cognitive factors affecting multiple people,[39][40][41][38][42][43] such as social and cognitive reinforcement of incorrect memories[44][45] or false news reports and misleading photographs that influence the formation of memories based on them.[46][45][47] For example, the false memories of Shazaam have been explained as a conflation of memories of the comedian wearing a genie costume during a TV presentation of Sinbad the Sailor movies in 1994,[48] and a similarly named 1996 film, Kazaam, featuring a genie played by Shaquille O'Neal.[32]

The Effect is an explanation to false memories.

Yeah , when I want quality conversation I think ce is where I should go. Where a troll lead mod in his 30s still working as a csr in a call center uses his only authority to protect racist and pedophiles on a video game message board.
