Do you remember the Berenstein Bears? Or Darth Vader saying “Luke, I am your father”? Millions of people share these memories, but they’re all wrong. This is the Mandela Effect, a phenomenon where the internet discovered we are all misremembering the same things.
Join Vanishing Threads as we explore how a single false memory about Nelson Mandela grew into a global internet mystery. We’ll dive into the most famous examples—from movie lines to logos—and investigate the strange theories of parallel universes and timeline shifts. Then, we apply a critical, scientific lens, exploring the psychology of confabulation, false memory, and how online echo chambers can rewrite our shared history.
⚠️ CONTENT WARNING: This video discusses concepts that may challenge personal memories and perceptions of reality.
