I can’t believe it.

The whole series is named Mandela Catalogue and I've seen anyone mention Mandela effect once???

For those who don’t know yet, “The Mandela effect, sometimes referred to as the Mandela phenomenon, is an instance of false collective memory.”, which basically translates as multiple (anywhere between two and few thousands if not milions) people having the same incorrect memory about something.

“This phenomenon was dubbed the "Mandela effect" by paranormal researcher Fiona Broome, who reported having vivid and detailed memories of news coverage of South African anti-apartheid leader Nelson Mandela dying in prison in the 1980s, despite Mandela actually dying in 2013 after serving as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. Broome reported that, since 2010, "perhaps thousands" of other people had written online about having the same memory of Mandela's death[...].”

I’m just gonna drop speculations why it happens:

“Scientists suggest that these are examples of false memories shaped by similar cognitive factors affecting multiple people and families, such as social and cognitive reinforcement of incorrect memories or false news reports and misleading photographs that influence the formation of memories based on them.”

I don’t have enough brain power to keep digging into this rabbit hole rn, so here's the article I cited things from and here's a page about it on TvTropes, where you can find more examples from different media. And pls, @ me if you have any other ideas or theories abt it. Or just MC cannon theories.
