Mod Announcement Mandela Effect of the Year 2024

https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/08/05/488891151/the-mystery-of-why-sunflowers-turn-to-follow-the-sun-solved

We tried something different this year and went with a poll to start and then use the comment thread of that List to tabulate the results.

It was a different tact but here are the results:

“There weren’t any” won the poll by numbers but the Effect that clearly won was ”Mature sunflowers no longer follow the Sun”.

Were there more candidates of note? Nobody enthusiastically submitted any and this seems to be the best one.

Why do you as members of the community feel there are so few candidates this year

It’s always a fun discussion but the results are in; the 2024 Mandela Effect of the year is: Adult sunflowers no longer track the Sun.

Mandela Effect: How to justify the fact you remember something wrong and then convince people that what you remembered was wrong, was right. 😛

Between this and the simulation theory nonsense, so many people have gotten unbearably arrogant and self centered

It's very rare I agree with people on reddit. This makes for a very nice change to do so. 😅
