This Will Ruin Your Childhood Forever - This Will Ruin YOU

Skip to 8:00 in the video and you will be both disturbed and fascinated...

So I was talking to my friends the other day and someone asked me what I thought of the Mandela Effect—not knowing what he was talking about, I told him to elaborate.

He stated it is when a group of people collectively remember a memory that does not fit with reality—like Nelson Mandela dying in the 80s in prison, and then being told he died in 2013. Older people swear he died in the 80s, while younger people swear he died in 2013.

He then brought up the example of the Berenstein bears. I kinda just laughed it off saying, "Well maybe people just didn't remember it properly after all these years."

Then something weird happened. I was looking up game videos on YouTube and came across a Berenstein bears video, which I linked above... which then mutated into the exact thing my friend was talking about. BerenstAin.

I was like no... that can't be right... I SPECIFICALLY remember it being BerenstEin bears... and for the first time in my life, I had this feeling that I wasn't wrong. The WORLD I was living in was wrong. I felt with every fiber of my being that it was Berenstein... Looking at berenstain gave me this awful feeling of wrongness—like an OCD child trying to straighten a picture of the leaning tower of Pisa only to realize the frame is then crooked.

Not believing it—REFUSING to believe it—I looked it up, and was greeted with a barrage of images that said "Berenstain" bears. Still refusing to believe it, I kept digging. I found examples here and there, but most were debunked as Photoshops.

Then I realized something weird. I looked up discussions on the different spellings and realized they ALL started in earnest in 2015. There were a couple isolated examples of the change, but those only seemed to branch after Jane Berenstein died at the beginning of 2012. Anything before that and people typed Berenstain as if there was absolutely nothing wrong with it.

And THAT is weird. For nothing this conspiracy like would not have been argued for YEARS and YEARS on the internet.

So the theory behind the Mandala Effect is that something terrible happened on a timeline where people remembered one thing, and to protect the fabric of reality, those people are then MERGED into a timeline where people remember another thing. Those people from the previous timeline still remember things from their timeline, but because they are in a NEW timeline, all the things they could use as proof would show as info from the new timeline, seemingly disproving their memories.

So if you come from a timeline where it was the Berenstein Bears, and your timeline is merged into a timeline where it was instead Berenstain, all your memories would still be of Berenstein, but all physical evidence around you, since you are in a new timeline, would show as Berenstain. But this would only change after a certain date—in this case around 2012-2015. It is thus something you can never refute because all physical evidence around you has been changed. Even photographs would be changed.

Others around you from the same reality as you would all remember it the same, so you would all collectively feel the same craziness.

So what do YOU think? Do you believe the theory that this isn't our original universe, and that timelines are converging, leaving behind unwieldy inconsistencies like Berenstain? Or do you believe that are all just remembering it wrong?

I even made a facebook post about it haha. (It STILL bothers me... *grumbles*)
