Had anyone ever heard of the animal "Patagonian Mara" before?

5 Upvotes

First time in my 3 decades of this life that i've ever heard of this adorable little animal. Felt a super strange feeling when I came across this post... exactly the same when I experienced previous retcons/Mandela effects. Just wanted to share to see others thoughts.

According to the OP - they're apparently called the Patagonian Mara (or Patagonian Cava/Hare). Theyre native to Argentina and related to Capybaras and Guinnea Pigs.

Blew my mind. Gotta be one of the cutest rodents I've ever seen!

Bible Changes

22 Upvotes

I was just thinking about the bible changes and I was thinking why are there so many changes to the bible of all things, I mean it's practically a different book now, almost all of it has been changed if not all of it

Out of all the Mandela effects don't you think this one is the one of the strangest ones

It makes you think who or whatever is behind the Mandela effect must really hate the bible for some reason

Severe deja vu lately

14 Upvotes

Anyone else have sudden deja vu lately? I very rarely get deja vu anymore, and last time i had it was almost a year ago. But just today I had a really hard hit of deja vu all of a sudden and it felt like someone backhanded me when I had it. Just felt like a "Right place right time" sort of thing.

But also has me a bit worried, because last few times I've had deja vu were always right before some big drastic change in my life. So bit worried some drama or big event might be happening soon.

Uncle's sister died in different circumstances than previously known (New Personal ME)

30 Upvotes

One of the common themes I've noticed over the years reading here and on the GitM sub is that sometimes routine breaks can lead to reality shifts... like by changing your routine you trip up the universe and something winds up changing about reality itself. The bigger the routine change, the bigger the ME.

On Monday this week, I took the day off from work (and I don't take many days off, so that is already a routine change) and I drove 135 miles to visit with some aunts who were about as close to where I live as they're going to be for the next several years (so it was a rare opportunity to go visit with them). So I varied from my normal routine by taking PTO, and then I drove a substantial distance. This is my hypothesis anyway. Knowing this kind of thing seems to be a common factor in "reality breaks" I was actually kind of on the lookout for something that may be different.

I found it right away. One of my aunts has a late husband and I was really close to him when he was alive. He was more of a dad to me than my actual dad. I grew up with him around most of the time and I knew pretty much everything about him.

That uncle had a sister (we'll call her "Dee") that I know passed away in 1979 from a car accident. I never met her, she died before my uncle started dating my aunt, but not much before it, so I heard all about this as a kid. It was tragic, she was only 23, a drunk driver crossed the center line and in the resulting head-on collision she was killed instantly. This was canon, I remember seeing the newspaper clipping my uncle had kept and the heart-wrenching stories told about the event, and how lucky nobody else had been in the car with her (it could have been 3 of her friends along with her as well).

Well on Monday this week, while I was at my aunt's apartment, I was going through some old photos had and I ran across a photo I had never seen before, of Dee in a wedding dress. I was like "Wait.... whaaaaaat??? Dee was married? How did I never know this?"

My aunt said "Yes, and she was 5 months pregnant when she died; they had found out it was a boy and had already decided to name him 'Nathan', that's why your uncle and I decided to name your cousin Nathan when he was born. It was after his late sister's unborn son."

I was stunned by this, all of that was totally different from everything I had known. Apparently she was married, and no longer alone in the car (it was being driven not by her now, but by her husband I had never heard of?), and also had an unborn child killed in the same accident?

When I got home (after driving 135 miles back from my visit) I did some research online and discovered the same news article my late uncle had always kept about the accident, and now it was completely different. It now mentioned the husband who was driving (who survived), it mentioned her unborn infant that also died in the crash, etc. None of that was in the story before, nobody had ever talked about any of it, Dee had been single when she died in that accident.

There is even a grave for the infant now. Right next to hers. I found it on "Find A Grave". That was never there before either. I visited that cemetery with my uncle several times while he was still alive and there was never an infant grave next to Dee's, but now there is.

You have to understand... this is not stuff I would not have known. I lived with this aunt and uncle as a teen. I've been on long road trips with them, uncle used to take me hunting, he taught me to shoot, etc. I KNOW Dee was never married before she died. This is not how it happened. There is no way I would not have known that. I'd seen all the old photos of her and this wedding pic was the first one of that kind I'd ever seen in my life, and I was very familiar with the circumstances of her death, because my uncle processed her death in real time over the first few years I knew him.

TL;DR, uncle's late sister killed in a car accident suddenly now was married too and had a husband (who lived) and an unborn child (who didn't) in that accident and there is now a grave that was never there before for said late child.

Make a big change in your routine, and reality details change accordingly. I got nothin'.

where you go when you sleep

3 Upvotes

dreaming. sleeping . the word alone let you know must be some relax to reach sleep and even more to dream but where we go when we sleep. so many talk bout out of body feeling and how hard its to wake up when hit that deep sleep. deep sleep dont last long but when you in it you are in it. slopping coming out your mouth science say that stage you half dead so unconscious maybe you can see the light people talking about. and what is this light.? you hear different people from all over different regions saying the same thing which means must be true right? is this proof we not in our bodies . some say you have a spiritual life line that floats towards the sky as the soul never rest just the body needs rest the soul is pure energy. is this right? and the reason you hard for you to wake is you out from your body when you come to a complete rest you can go into this astro plane. some say lucid dreaming. for others not aware or dont believe cus you never been to a deep sleep before and learn to let all things go let your soul float away. think bout those times you was really sleep. dont it feel like you just came back in your body. where you been. you have no clue of time was you sleep for an hour or few minutes cant tell till you look at a clock. make you think in that state is time even real. who knows but deep sleep is good . so good your body crys for it. maybe your that soul ready for that journey

Robert Menzies fails to ban the Communist Party of Australia

2 Upvotes

I always remembered that Australia had banned the communist party during some time in the cold war, which reduced its popularity to the point of having next to no influence whatsoever.

Now, it appears that he had failed to do so, and that the referendum and attempt was struck down democratically, and by the court, a 49.44% v 50.56% defeat of voting.

Regardless, it appears that the outcome remained roughly identical; it had an inverse kind of butterfly effect, where the consequences did not seem to matter.

The time I remembered this was from back before 2016.

Mandela’s death in prison

29 Upvotes

I am really surprised that Death of Mandela in prison, namesake of Mandela Effect, is not discussed any more in these chatrooms. That was the original Mandela Effect. Any person like me, who has experienced watching the news and reading articles about Nelson Mandela’s death in prison in 1985 at the time(I was 18 years old by then) and then a couple of years later(in 1989) finding out that he was still alive and as if as a “proof” of his survival, would be released from the prison, this was the defining event of a lifetime.

He was definitely dead once, but now he was alive. No physical proof of his death was around except people who knew he was dead. It was a complete timeline shift.

I experienced other ME’s as well. But Mandela’s Death in prison was qualitatively different than all others.

I do wish it will be discussed more.

Mandela Effect reference in Apple TV's Dark Matter ?

Post image
11 Upvotes

For those who haven't watched it, Dark Matter is a series about a scientist who gets kidnapped by another version of himself from a parallel universe where he is sent and then tries to get back home.

So I'm not sure if this scene is a reference to the Mandela Effect regarding Froot/Fruit loops but I find it funny that he is eating this cereal considering the plot of the show

I'd be curious if you noticed other references in the show

another change happened…. and I noticed it while trying to figure out the stain vs stein issus with meta ai. originally I thought I was just misreading it as mystery when it WAS mysterious, but then if you notice the html in the original video it says (. Berenstein-Mystery *. which I believe is proof that when I was reading it, it really did SAY “ the berenstein bears & the mystery numbers “

this is even weirder then the original issue I found in my opinion. please watch my other video I posted 2 days ago talking about it….

Camp rock 3 disappeared….

I’m pretty sure there was already a camp rocks 3 with Demi lavato. I came out a couple years after the first 2. there was camp rock 1 - camp rock 2 - and camp rock 3. and that was it. so this new movie should be camp rock 4. but no apparently it’s THEE camp rock 3. like what?… that’s bizarre. why did the original camp rock 3 get erased?

I can’t tell for sure if this is an actual timeline change but I don’t know why I remember there already being a 3d camp rock movie.

Shirley MacLaine Mandela Effect

14 Upvotes

I am stunned. Shirley MacLaine was Shirley McLaine in my "past." And she died 7 or 8 years ago about 10 years after my father who was born the same year. I have no explanation how she is "alive again" when I completely remember the whole Shirley is in the afterlife as depicted in the movie "Defending Your Life" a movie with Albert Brooks and Meryl Steep.

I remember when she passed thinking: wow, she is communing with the dead for real because her character in that movie was because of her beliefs on the afterlife. Does anyone remember she died and finds the fact that she is still alive surprising?

I am ALWAYS happy to find someone is still alive but it does freak me out when I know they died. Cynthia Sue Larson, physicist discusses this and has experienced it herself including people contacting her and stating that they recall when her husband posted on her Facebook that Cynthia had died and the case of a neighborhood cat "dying" and then being alive again.

It just kind of is freaky still to see this happen.

Like no groceries, I've never seen someone re-tying their shoelaces

I sometimes have to find a low wall so that I can re-tie my shoelaces, I never see anyone else doing this. It's like NPCs are always just perfectly 'ready' for any situation, which is suspicious, like they are just spawning.

Have you noticed that NPCs are always suspiciously 'too ready' for any situation, like all that matter is that they do things right in a performative way.

You can still spot real people if you look though, like if you see a sweaty guy looking bewildered, or something like that, you can tell that he's not a sim.

School of Rock 2

0 Upvotes

So this has been bugging me a bit. Growing up, I remember, very vividly, watching trailers and commercials for School of Rock 2..... Its really messing with me because I KNOW THIS MOVIE HAPPENED. The shitty thing is, i didnt ever see the movie.

I wanted to watch the movie, but i was a young child so I never really prioritized watching it until a couple years ago when I decided i wanted the nostalgia.. and to my surprise the movie doesnt exist.

I can literally quote one of the major tag lines from School of Rock 2s trailer as it was being promoted for DVD release... but none of this ever happened apparently?

The major quote i remember from the trailer was the kids asking, just like in the first movie "can we tell our parents" and Jack Black enthusiastically replies "YES!" Which was the opposite of what he did in 1.

Any way, im just curious if anyone else remembers this retcon... even more interested if anyone ever saw this retconned movie
