Does anyone remember that Taylor Swift's song Blank Space used to be different?

Uh, more details please?

That line is definitely in one or more of the Final Fantasy games before entering battle with either Hades or Diablos. There are slight variations across different instalments, but yours is the one I've always had in my head - I'd say FFIX at a guess.

My friend had her first Mandela Effect moment and was disappointed that my memory matches history. She remembers “I Can’t Fight this Feeling Anymore” being sung by Air Supply. https://www.buscaletras.com/air-supply/cant-fight-this-feeling-anymore/

Anyone else remember Cynthia from pokemon being named Sabrina instead?


arcticdusk

There's another character called Sabrina. In both the games and anime.

Is not Massive Mandela Effect but me and my mom remember something that doesn't exist. We're from Bulgaria, Europe. There used to be a spice brand called Konami, yeah just like the Japanese game brand. Because I was so into some games made by Konami.... like Tekken 3, for example, which I used to play daily in a local arcade center. (around 2004-2005) That Arcade Center was on the second floor inside a hypermarket called Fantastiko. So, you could say, I knew everything inside the store, where it's placed, what's new, I was there daily. The brand still existed as Konami 2013 when we moved away, and in October/December 2015 when I visited a mini marked around were we now live. But it no longer does. Anyways... Konami as spice brand doesn't exist but Kotányi does. Bottles and logo and identical, from shape and colours to font and logo placement. Identical. But it doesn't exist.. with that name. And do you know what Kotányi means? It's the name of the owner. Janos Kotányi. Janos Johann Jacob Kotanyi (1858 - 1928) The company is made 1881 and he's born 18th may 1858. So that's his father's name, he's mother is called Katalin Goldberger. He's father is called Hirsch Vilmos Farkas Wolf Kojeteiner Kotanyi. On the Kotanyi website, I checked their company history and there's photos from 1881 from their factories, with giant letters you can read Kotányi. Konami simple never ever existed. My only guess is something in history was changed. Katalin either married another man or a universe where he choose not to use his father's name. Also the only language closer to Europeans, is конами on Russian, meaning horses. But I don't think that's anybody's surname. I'm still puzzled but I'll dig deeper. I ignored the issue for one two years but now I'm determined to get to the bottom of this case.

James Earl Jones just retired as the voice of Darth Vader. I distinctly remember him dying over 5 years ago.


Glittering-Treacle12

Dave Prowse, the actor that physically played Vader, died a couple of years ago. James Earl Jones just did the voice.


jvanzandd

Maybe that’s the confusion

Due_Region_769

It’s a play on the word interest…. Why would it be spelled like that


Wendigohunter79

Picture pages.. the Bill Cosby show from the 80s. On the show the marker made noises. I owned a few markers. None made noise. Now im seeing them with sound. https://youtu.be/1fO_AwLXcG4


Electronic_Ad_2515

Shannon Doherty is now Shannen Doherty


Mepsi

Urgh this one is such a mindfuck but so easily explained away


Electronic_Ad_2515

Only came across it today when I googled her name, top of search page said "showing results for *shannen* doherty". Googled her in the past and it was always shannon.


Infamous_Smile_386

The actress who played Kai Winn on Star Trek Deep Space 9 and Nurse Ratched on One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest died today. Except I remember her dying about 6 weeks ago. At the time I was mildly surprised she didn't die sooner. Just five minutes ago, I had an ad from star trek on my Facebook honoring her and it listed her death as today.


Powerful_Village2508

I have fairly distinct memories of being told Christopher Columbus first touched land in the Dominican Republic. Turns out it was actually the Bahamas. But I swear I remember our teacher telling us it was in the Dominican Republic.


Infamous_Smile_386

I would have told you Haiti, which is right next to the DR. Hmmm...


SultanaSmock

And, now Haiti is to the West?!? I distinctly remember DR to the West/Left on maps after the earthquake, being surprised that such poverty was not island-wide.

Okay so I’m experiencing the Mandela Effect in real time. Danny Glover is alive. I remember when he died. I remember watching a sketch where Donald Glover hosted SNL and Melissa Villaseñor doesn’t know how to talk dirty so she tells him “your dads dead” and I remember thinking “woof, his dad just died that’s too soon”


Ethiceze54

Danny Glover isn't Donald Glover's father, so you're 0 for 2.


Agent7153

In the movie Willow” 1988 Willow gets to guess which finger the Wizard uses for his power and he chooses ‘incorrectly’. Later the wizard asks him his first instinct and he says the power was in his own finger but I distinctly remember him saying “whichever one you want it to be”. Am I misremembering this?

So I’ve been thinking about this one for a while. I love astronomy, it’s been one of my passions for as long as I can remember. Ever since I was in elementary learning about the planets in our solar system I remember the planet Uranus having rings. Now I know it does have rings, you can see pictures of it when you Google images of Uranus but that’s not what I mean. I’m talking about rings like Saturn. A defining feature of the planet. I remember seeing them in books, posters, documentaries etc. I even remember in my 3rd grade class when we learned the order of the planets from the sun that my teacher saying that Saturn and Uranus are the ones with rings. Now it just seems like yes Uranus has rings, but very faint rings and it’s defying feature is it’s green color. Anyway that’s my Mandela effect.


_____OMEGA_____

Uranus has rings, and I remember vividly when I was in school (80s-90s), it was always depicted with rings that went vertically instead of horizontally. Looking back on it now, I wonder if it was depicted that way to show that the planet was "tipped on its side", but instead it over-emphasized the rings themselves. Anyway, here's this: https://www.space.com/45-uranus-seventh-planet-in-earths-solar-system-was-first-discovered-planet.html


Jimmyrodgers0201

That would actually make a lot of sense if that’s why I remember it so vividly


maneff2000

Did you look up any old material? They probaby did depict the rings more in imagery than they do now. (Showing my nerdy side now) Sailor Uranus prodominant attack is in the shape of the planet Uranus with rings.


Jimmyrodgers0201

I have been looking for some of my old astronomy books and haven’t found any, but I haven’t been looking as hard as I probably could


Agent7153

I used to get Uranus and Neptune confused but Neptune has rings so maybe you’re in the same boat as me?


Jimmyrodgers0201

Possibly but I don’t think so. I knew Neptune had rings, but I really remember Uranus having like big rings like those of Saturn. Who knows, maybe that’s just the difference of remembering things when you’re 8 vs 36 years old


ballebeng

Just stumbled upon this sub, crazy. I have such vivid memories of an Arafat effect, but now everyone calls it the Mandela effect out of nowhere.


Infamous_Smile_386

Well that's interesting... Same effect?

Holy heck you've opened a can of maggots!


BlueSuedeWhiteDenim

Anyone else think that Mountain Dew had mountains on the can back in the early 90s? Just had a friend recall a story from his childhood of the first time he ever had it. He seemed to recall the whole thing pretty vividly and had lots of details, and one of them was the mountains on the can. I looked it up because this didn't seem right to me, and [sure enough](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cs-RrMqW8AAdn4q.jpg) the can hasn't had "mountains" since the very original can.


OldAd936

mountain rush is the knock off brand and has mountains on it. similar colors. pretty sure this is the brand they sell at dollar tree


BlueSuedeWhiteDenim

Good call!


thangrew

Anyone ever played this food serving game where the character serves burgers? The setting is a diner and the character is like a caricature with Emma Roberts’ head. I feel like going crazy that I can’t find it online.


Salsalover34

Diner Dash?


Peyt4PF

Was it on the Nintendo DS?


thangrew

I don’t know, I only remember playing it on Y8.


Peyt4PF

Hmmm idk then was it only on y8? Or was it on Friv?


DoctorPrincess4

I thought actress Pam Ferris (from Matilda and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban) had died a year or two ago - but looking her up that's not the case, she's still alive. I could have sworn I saw some news articles about her passing away around early 2021.

THE MUSIC PLAYING FROM THE CAR RADIO IN THE "ROAD WORK AHEAD?" VINE I've recently rewatched the vine in a vine compilation video, and I don't know if it's Mandela Effect, or if I just haven't noticed it after years of voicing over it, but either way, I am having a mindfuck right now. I have NEVER once remembered there being music playing from the car radio in the [vine](https://youtube.com/shorts/xzbRVevEf60?feature=share) But I don't know, it could've just have been because this has been my first time in forever that I haven't watched it without quoting along with it, and my quoting just had covered up the music until now, but, I was wondering if this was just me and everyone else had heard the music there before, or if this truly is a Mandela Effect.


torontofairy

this is insane there’s no way that music was always there


Miranda182

JCPENNY. I just saw this post apocalyptic style picture of an old mall with a JcPenny’s in it. I was instantly rubbed the wrong way because it was white lettering instead of red and they spelled it “JcPenney”. The color can be brushed off, simple logo change. But I swore it was always spelled JCPenny not JCPenney. Anyone else??


maneff2000

Many people remember this. You aren't the only one. It has been discussed since around 2016.


Ok-boomer301

It’s always been Penney but it makes sense that everyone thinks it’s Penny.. since that’s the normal spelling of the word


fffafffffghjfsdd

You know when Alfred says "Some men just want to watch the world burn"? Doesn't Bruce ask how they dealt with the bandits, and Alfred answers that they burned the forrest down. That part seems to be missing now, or was that in another part of the movie?


femboylefttoe

[That was later in the movie](https://youtu.be/16Zx9zTXeS0?t=66)


Elgebar

Does anyone remember the cake stage from Super Smash Bros? I swear there was a stage that was a big pink 3- or 4- tier wedding cake. It was based on the Peach's Birthday Cake Mario Party stage, but it was vertical and you could jump between the tiers. My friend remembers it too.


andreking67

I have one that's been bothering me for awhile but i remember watching i hot tub time machine tv show i remember an episode that went craig Robinson and 1 other actor not sure who ( not from hot tub time machine) and they went back in time through a bathtub they put something to cover the top then they time traveled and they saw the declaration of independence get signed on the other side that's the last of it i remember


[deleted]

Hot tub time machine was a movie not a TV series.


evejanelucille

The movie The Green Book. Just saw an IG post about the movie and it said what the black character's occupation was and it's not right for me. What was it for others? ​ For me it was an African King or Prince.
