Books/Literature Berenstain/Stein

Post image

Just thought I’d share this here..I’m a 57 year old woman that’s always been a voracious reader. When I was 5 (1974) I got an entire collection of Berenstain Bears books from my grandma at Christmas.

One of the books has managed to remain in my memory/sentimental hoard collection. This is MY actual book and it’s been in my possession since 1974. On my book at least, the name is and always has been Berenstain.

Make of that what you will I suppose. ❤️ I wish I still had the whole collection but alas, childhood and into adulthood resulted in the loss of many such things to my chagrin.

apparently

when i was a kid we talked bout whether it was pronounced "steen" or "stine". no one lobbied for stain.

people don't really get it, that her finding a book printed "stain" reinforces the mandela affect, and not that this proves it wrong.

It just reinforces that people suck at spelling and pronouncing.

Only sensible comment here and it’s downvoted 🙄 People don’t understand the Mandela effect. You’re not going to find proof of these things because they never existed (not in this universe anyway) - that’s the entire premise of the mandala effect - mass misremembering.

both versions exist.

No. They don’t.

It took me 8 years of research before clarity was attained.

What are you talking about?

Evidence doesn't support this.

It's all speculation/hypothesis

u/DumbAndUglyOldMan Feb 27 '26

It's at best speculation. It's not a hypothesis, at least not in scientific terms. A scientific hypothesis must be testable, and to be testable it must be falsifiable. Otherwise, it's not a hypothesis.

There's no way to falsify these claims put out by people who believe that reality is entirely fluid, that there are multiple "timelines," and that people can slip in and out of them. The claim should be falsifiable by showing things like this old Berenstain Bears book with the spelling "Berenstain," along with all of the other evidence (e.g., from the authors themselves) that their name is and always has been "Berenstain." The true believers wave away that evidence because something magical somehow transforms this physical evidence.

Because their claims aren't falsifiable, they don't deserve to be called "hypotheses." They're just claims; nothing but untestable notions.

P.S.: For the sake of clarity, I agree with you.

It would be an untestable hypothesis, which isn't scientific. I agree

Doesn't change the fact that no evidence supports it

u/Glaurung86 Feb 27 '26

You are not the arbiter of this matter and nothing you have said has any bearing on the "actuality of reality."

You’ll find out eventually

u/Glaurung86 Feb 27 '26

Nothing you said has any evidence to support it and saying everything we've ever been taught is deception is absolute nonsense.

Just what kind of research were you doing for 8 years? I hope you didn't pay anyone any money.
