one thing i will say in defense of the mandela effect people is that most of the accounts i've seen are like childhood memories from the 70s/80s of seeing his televised funeral and then being super confused when they hear he's been released in 1990/becomes president in 1994. children and teens aren't typically the best at keeping up w international politics, especially without the internet

#a lot of the examples i see on the subreddit are childhood memories #like ''i KNOW it was berenstein bears bc i watched the same vhs tape every night before bed for years'' type shit #and admittedly if i suddenly found out it was the hundred acre forest and not the hundred acre wood i'd be singin a different tune #but most of the time i'll be like hm no. pikachu's tail never had a black tip.#it was always looney tunes not looney toons #i would've said the monopoly man had a monocle if u asked but i wouldn't've bet my life on it or anything #but the nelson mandela one is interesting bc ''seeing the funeral on tv'' is such a common thread #i wonder whose funeral they actually saw
