The Mandela Effect is one of the great conspiracies of the early 2010s. From Sinbad’s Shazaam, to the Berenstain Bears, to the Fruit of the Loom Cornucopia, to the Death of Nelson Mandela from which the Mandela Effect gets its name, everyone seems to have their own personal version of it.

As much as I assumed this was just a fun little thing people online were noticing, and even though in my video a couple weeks ago I described exactly WHY we misremember these sort of things, there are some that apparently believe that The Mandela effect is evidence that the government or other higher beings are manipulating the fabric of reality and causing us to cross into other timelines and dimensions.

Today, we’re going to talk about why this is really really dumb.
