The Mandela Effect got its name from the late Nelson Mandela who people remembered to have died in the 80's in prison. But in reality he didn't die instead he lived to become South Africa's president. Another case is the Jiffy brand, I know that it's peanut butter but it seems in reality there's no such brand. There are a lot more examples and some people suggests that somethings messing with the past affecting the present.
.
What are your thoughts about this?
 
I would love to believe that people has crossed from other universes making it so a lot of people remember one thing while others remember it another. However, I would just chalk it up to humans having bad memory.
 
The phrase "Mandela Effect" is used to describe false memory, something that did not happen but people believe that it actually happenned. However, I don't know how the name was coined. Mandela was the president of South Africa who played a vital roles to end Aperthied in South Africa.
 
My favorite is when everyone thinks the Flintstones were called the Flinstones and Bearstein instead of Bearstain.

There's also one with Pokemon Gen 1 where people think that dual typing didn't exist.
 
Can't say I really know of anything that would make me believe in this.
 
I don't believe in this sayings. Actually, I love a poem inspired by Nelson Mandela's life. Invictus is quite popular poem written by Henley. " I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul ".

It's said that a lot of people during the 80's, remembers that they have heard, read and seen footages of Nelson Mandela dying in prison but in reality he even became president of South Africa and died just in 2013. Another good example of the Mandela Effect is Starwars where C3PO isn't all gold he's got silver legs now. And in Silence of the lambs, Hannibal Lector didn't even utter Hello Clarice.

Thanks for explaining. Since the phrase "mandela effect" has the name of Nelson Mandela, this term might have originated from the speculation about Nelson Mandela during the 80s when it was in prison and people believed that he died in the prison. Mandela Effect is when the mass begings to have false idea on something.
 
Recently, I got to know this term and when I searched, this is the thing that I found: The Mandela Effect is a collective misremembering of a fact or event. Various theories have been proposed to explain what causes it, some more sensible than others.



Hmm....I am not so sure whether I believe it or not to be honest.
