The Mandela Effect (Disappearing Braces in Moonraker)

[Pele'sDaughter]

I don't recall George Michael having passed before, fwiw. My daughter-in-law was watching a youtube about the Mandela effect the other night and Berenstain Bears came up in our discussion. I really did think I remembered it being Berenstein not Berenstain, so I looked on ebay for an old book or toy. Sure enough, from 1975 there was a book with the spelling Berenstain. So either I my memory was faulty or it proves we've stumbled onto an alternate time line in which it has always been Berenstain.

ok, here is one about something serious...



^ this whole thing? I swear I remember that image and this whole thing going down 6-18 months ago. fairly vividly. ^

so WTF?

Drew, I think you need only get old enough and almost everything will seem like deja vu. I often enjoy it as a marker of relative experience and wisdom, and do not have this (laughable) "Mandela effect" as anything approaching a default assumption for why this is so.

I remember braces, but the actress who played the girl is still working, and awhile back she said in a Tweet that they never filmed her with braces.

Well, I don't buy any mystical metaphysical explanation for the effect. Just posting here for it's similarity.

but I'm sure I saw a vid of this sort of thing, happening to a guy with that haircut, those clothes, in that kinda room. Within two years at most.

Because you certainly did see a vid of this sort of thing, etc. etc. And if you didn't see exactly it, it's easy enough to imagine and inadvertantly combine elements of tortures you've seen on video, haircuts you've seen (or had yourself, or possibly administered as barber), clothes you've seen or worn, rooms like that you've been in. Within two years at most.

IDK, I guess if I have seen that before (and it was this whole story, except it didn't 'take off' that time), I guess I'd be saying it's a staged event. Normally I would discount that sort of possibility. This just seems weird to be happening now. In the last version it had nothing to do with trump though. I think that time they supposedly say something about obama.

So I guess I'm saying this might be _someone's_ psiop production in action.

The word "often". In the past year or two, I've noticed people pronouncing the "T". In my old timeline, it was silent, almost always.

I've been having some intense deja vu for the past week or so, mostly while reading a passage while something familiar is happening outside my body. It's snapped me into wondering if I'd read that particular piece already or if it's just invoking certain familiar feelings.

And I think that I actually have been repeating certain scenarios in my life, that this is not really deja vu at all but a literal re-visitation.

In north america it's definitely always been pronounced with the "t" in certain registers of speech.

I think eliding the "t" reflects an official/"educated" speech pattern but I've heard it with the "t" almost my entire life, too, especially when I lived further west.

I have to say, Drew, that I got a Bannon vibe from that vid too. The hospitalization of the fellow and the arrests of the four involved seem authentic. Surely it evokes no kind thoughts towards the perps but causes tremendous sympathy towards their victim.

If it's a maliciously gross act by unguided youth upon an innocent disabled man, and I believe it was, it is criminal. Those involved have been arrested and will have their days in court. It's a shame what these young people have done to themselves and their future. It's a sin, if ever there were such. It takes a long time to get past such trauma, if ever at all. My heart hurts thinking about the pain and torment the victim experienced and will now be haunted by.

I don't know if it is happening independently of your perception in this case, but this kind of thing definitely happens all the time. So many influences on usage and pronounciation!

Some great 'easter eggs' in there.

[semper occultus]

I can reveal that there's a missing song by The Cure that has somehow slipped out of this time stream. Years back I sent off for CD's from one of those back page of a magazine companies to tape them & send 'em back within the 30 days - as you do. There was one of those Cure albums with the old man on the front & the stand out track I can still sort of hear in my mind's ear the intro kicking in with a big heavy 80's synth on it but I swear to Dawkins I can't find that bloody track again going through YT or Amazon or anything close to it.....long have I pondered upon this mystery & what hidden lesson it behooves me to uncover 'ere I pass from this mortal existence...

This happened to me with some tracks on the cassette version of their singles collection that I had loved as a kid. The cassette edition of the singles comp Standing on a Beach included a bunch of b-sides but the vinyl edition and later CD did not. Really good material, either way: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standing_ ... he_b-sides

These track sort of fit the bill you describe:
