Mandela effect is by far the most stupid paranormal thing.

I can easily see how most examples happened just by reading accounts of them. Like Berenstain Bears vs Berenstein Bears - I literally never heard of them but it's obvious that Berenstein is German spelling and Berenstain is spelling with English phonetics, which probably happened because it was translated from Yiddish that notoriously doesn't have the -ei- diphtong. People just mixed two popular ways of spelling the same popular surname root word.

And also absolutely all examples are about something people don't really care about and oftentimes about childhood memories. Like even the Mandela effect subreddit recognizes it.

And those people dismiss the idea that they misremembered some movie that they saw once when they were 11 in favour of thinking that it's mass reality hoping induced by CERN experiments that the government tries to cover up.
