I'm down for some Mandela effect.

 

I can't think of any specific to my life though, ironically.

that's actually what i was thinking about. i'm trying to write a short story, but i need some specific examples and all of my own are kind of lame.

I remember clips of movies and things I saw as a kid that either never happened in the actual films or I sometimes try to find things I remember seeing as a child, but cannot think of where to begin to find them.

yessss! this too, i remember a news clip of women stuck waist down in cement but alive but like...that couldn’t have been real. maybe it was from a dream or a movie?

False memories aren't the real problem. The problem is once you start questioning all memories. I think I remember a lot of things. But, I don't know how much of it is real. There are things I know that I don't know how or where or when I learned them. There are moments I remember living through years ago in a dream.

Once you start questioning, any individual false memory doesn't really stand out. You've already accepted that your memory is fallible. Each one is simply a reminder to never be certain of what you remember.

anyone ever have a moment where they were absolutely sure that a thing happened only to find out that there was actually some doubt that it did?

 

The Mandela Effect happens all the time. Especially to people who are highly suggestive......you know Republicans.
