What if your memories were real… but from another universe?

The Mandela Effect is one of the internet’s strangest mysteries—thousands of people swear they remember the same events, but history insists they’re wrong. Named after the false memory that Nelson Mandela died in prison in the 1980s (when he actually passed in 2013), this phenomenon has left people questioning reality.

From the Berenstain Bears spelling to Darth Vader’s famous misquote “Luke, I am your father,” fans on Reddit and YouTube claim these examples prove reality may be “shifting”—as if we’ve jumped timelines without even noticing. Some even point to CERN experiments, suggesting high-energy collisions could blur the boundaries between universes.

Others argue it’s just faulty memory and how the brain spreads misinformation online. But if millions share the same false memory… is it really a mistake, or a glitch in the multiverse?

👉 Do you believe the Mandela Effect is proof of parallel worlds, or just human memory playing tricks?
