See title. For those who don’t know, the Mandela Effect is a phenomenon where a large group of people remember something differently than how it occurred. It’s named after Nelson Mandela because a significant number of people remembered him dying in prison in the 1980s, even though he actually passed away in 2013.
I’m curious to hear about your personal experiences with this phenomenon. Have you ever remembered an event, fact, or detail that turned out to be different from reality? What was it and how did you react when you found out your memory didn’t align with the facts? Does it happen often?
Who the fuck remembers Mandela dying in prison??? The man was resilience itself!
I know!
He was constantly in the papers in the 1990s, major figure, every mac madra knew he was alive, where do they get this shite.
Probably confusion with Steve Biko explains it.
