This. Of the world is def said, i guess just not at the end. This doesn't bug me. If it was somehow confirmed there was never an of the world, I'd be strongly in the cern particle alternate universe camp.

The Mandela Effect was invented by an idiot blogger who, when Mandela died in 2013, was staggered because, being an idiot, she thought he had already died in prison in the 1980s. She had clear memories of TV footage of the funeral, and the riots in South African cities that followed.

She decided that she might be a 'slider' who migrates between universes, and that in another universe Mandela really did die in prison in the 1980s.

In fact, she was simply half-remembering the publicity for Richard Attenborough's 1987 movie Cry Freedom, starring Kevin Kline and Denzel Washington, about the white liberal South African newspaper editor Donald Woods, his friendship with Black Consciousness activist Steve Biko and Biko's death (i.e. murder) in police custody in 1977. When the film came out, US TV did re-show footage of Biko's funeral and the resulting riots. The film was not a big hit in America, but Washington did gain an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor and his career prospered.

The blogger, however, is so dumb that she had no recollection of Mandela's release from prison in 1990 -- a global media event of the first magnitude -- or his presidency of South Africa, or his long and distinguished retirement with statesmen and celebrities from all over the world seeking him out for a handshake and a photo because he was one of the most admired men alive. All that passed her by.

That's how dumb you have to be to believe that, in an alternative universe, Mandela died in prison in the 1980s, the Berenstain Bears were called the Berenstein Bears and Darth Vader really said, 'No, Luke, I am your father' (people just quote it like that to make clear it's a Star Wars thing, but the original movie line omits the 'Luke'). People remember stuff wrong.

Freddie Mercury really did add '...of the world' to the last reprise of We Are The Champions at Live Aid in 1985, though.

Won a bet vs 2 girls last weekend on the berenstain bears thing. I even showed them the picture of the book online and they still didn't believe me.

Did you win a threesome?

Drinks made for a month - pretty sure that's better than not being able to satisfy 2 girls lol

Who cares if they are satisfied as long as you are. But drinks for a month not bad instead.

This reminds me, I made a bet with a guy for either $5, $10, or $20 in 1999 that there is no Gremlins 3. He still hasn't paid. Should probably post on his Wall about it.

Better do it soon, before he's right:

the fact that a fraudulent sign language interpreter managed to con his way into nelson mandela's funeral is way stranger, more hilarious, (and true!) than any bull**** memory of mandela dying in prison

how about the whole Sinbad starring in a movie as a genie and the poster with him as the genie that doesn't actually exist?

Clearly obviously simply conflated with Kazaam.

no but they DISTINCTLY remember a SEPARATE genie movie starring SINBAD!!!

I'm guilty of the Sinbad thing too. Clearly confused with the Shaq movie I never saw, but I can picture it pretty clearly, smile, outfit and all.

There was a photo that Sinbad provided where he dressed as a genie for a 1994 TV movie night thing he hosted, but it's so obscure I can't imagine I would have seen much less remembered it. But the outfit looks right.

another of the mandela effects is a famous quote from the Star Wars movie where everyone remembers Darth Vader supposedly saying "Luke, I am your Father", but he actually said "No, I am your Father.

James Earl Jones was the voice of Darth Vader, and he distinctly remembers the line was "Luke", not "No". Here is him recalling the script

So the rumor is the Mandela effect was due to something that happened at CERN, that tore us into an alternate universe or something like that. One more thing that will leave people scratching their head is a promotional video that was made by CERN called "We are Happy at CERN", at 2:30 into the video, a scientist at CERN is actually sitting with a sign reading Mandela right on his lap. wtf?

This guy remembers selling it at a video store he worked at, and even wrote a review of the movie

That might have been the stupidest thing I've ever tried to read

Def glad I'm now woke to the Mandela effect

Lol cern

That guy is also named Melissa.

what? please not another false memory my minds already blown enough as it is...

He was named Sue as a boy.

It's confirmed, we're being ****ed with.

This is a picture from the official CERN video called "We're Happy at CERN" with a scientist (or actor) hanging two signs around his neck.

The first one, Bond #1, and the second one, Mandela.

The actor in the first James Bond movie's name is Nelson. So he is actually saying Nelson Mandela...



he is seen at 2:30 into the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0Lt9yUf-VY

Ya'll getting too Woke, soon as you figure out the mandela effect they simply ship you off to a new dimension. Hopefully you don't really enjoy your time here...

There aren't any other famous Mandelas, so that's a bit redundant.

And in the 1954 CBS TV version of Casino Royale, Barry Nelson didn't play Ian Fleming's character James Bond, he played 'Jimmy Bond of the CIA' (and wore a ready-made and elasticated bow tie, which would have caused the real Bond to shoot him on sight as an impostor).

The first actor to play James Bond was Bob Holness in a South African radio production of Moonraker in 1956. But the wider world didn't hear that. (Though Bob later became a rather legendary presenter of game shows on early-evening British TV, popular with children and students.)

So the first actor to make a proper fist of it was, as everyone knows, my old college roommate Robert's Edinburgh auntie's former coalman, Tommy aka 'Sean' Connery.

Incidentally, you know the Web was invented by an Englishman working at CERN? So you don't want to believe anything you see on the Web. Especially the conspiracy-theory stuff. We -- I mean they -- just put that kind of thing out there to misdirect you.
