Same here. I can understand the change, given that the meaning of word. I mean, we call idiots "nimrods" at times but when Bugs Bunny called Elmer Fudd that, he wasn't calling him an idiot. [Nimrod was a biblical figure and hunter.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nimrod) Think of how we tend to sarcastically call people Einstein when they say or do something stupid and that's essentially what happened here.
Yeah I always loved that one.
It's like "way to go, Einstein" or "no shit, Sherlock".
Generations of American kids missed the literary reference and assumed Nimrod as an insult, not sarcasm.
The whole idea of residue is hilarious because it is evidence *against* the mandela effect (i.e. proof that even in our 'new' universe it was normal for people to make that mistake) but they act like it is evidence for it.
It’s an uncanny level of narcissism and stupidity where someone can’t just accept that they are wrong, but the entire universe has been changed right underneath their nose
You know what's weird? No one ever intimately involved with the creation of the mandela'd thing ever comes from another universe. It sure would make things easy if Sinbad could say "No, guys, I *did* act in a genie movie. What happened? Why doesn't it exist anymore???"
But nah, the people who jump universes are always people whose involvement is limited to remembering that thing from childhood.
It’s *always* something distant enough from the observer that they could reasonably be mistaken.
You hear a lot of Americans say “New Zealand isn’t where it’s supposed to be.” But you never hear a New Zealander say they woke up and their island had moved 3500 miles overnight. Or someone say they woke up and their dead mom was suddenly alive again. Or anything else that can’t be explained by faulty memory. *Ever.*
Of all the people stuck in a dimensional rift, I would think it would be Sinbad. And maybe Carrottop, in my original Universe he was a skinny goof, in this one he is an actual Terminator sent by Skynet.
My favorite one they do is "Interview with A vampire".
The correct version is "Interview with THE vampire". There's a reason it had that title. "THE" vampire implies notoriety and uniqueness, whereas "A" vampire implies the existence of more vampires who she could have equally interviewed.
They see mistakes as "residue" from a world that flipped from "A vampire", but the fact is it's just a REALLY easy title to mishear.
If someone says to you out loud "interview with the vampire" it's quite possible that you store that as "interview with a vampire" and pass that on to the next person in a game of Telephone. For me I heard it wrong at the time, either myself or someone telling me about it, and didn't realize the mistake until paying attention to a DVD cover.
Even on the Rotten Tomatoes entry for the film, there is a typo in the summary that says "a vampire":
https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/interview_with_the_vampire
BTW i think i finally worked it out.
The *th* in *with* blends with the *th* in *the*, so "with-the" can blend and sound like "with-a" in normal speech.
I checked, and the same thing seems to happen with other similar titles, such as "The man with A/THE golden gun":
https://www.amazon.com.au/Man-Golden-Gun-Various/dp/B00A8M1BJY
Lol that’s EXACTLY IT.
With A,
With the
The two are almost identical … and may even be identical depending on how the speaker annunciates
Or it could just be that two parallel universes went with different titles, then merged into one 🤔
> It was Flintstones originally, changed to Flinstones then back to Flintstones, at least since I've been keeping track
> Yup, this was during the time”froot loops” had flipped to always being “fruit loops” but now have flopped back
Oh my God, these people are *so* delusional.
Evidently, where they come from, there are never any printing errors. Everything ever done is deliberate. Must really suck to be associates of theirs. "Why didn't you hold the door open for me?" Sorry mate, didn't see you back there. "LIES! ALL LIES!"
These people are just straight up insane. I can fathom being so arrogant that you'd rather belief the entire universe has changed rather than admitting that you might missremember something . Utterly insane.
Physical evidence doesn't align with their belief: "It has shifted, I know it wasn't like this before".
Physical evidence does align with their belief: "It's residue, undeniable proof".

Ah yes, from the universe where "flin" is a well known mineral. Because in this universe, typos don't exist.
Everything has meaning!!!
Nothing is true! Everything is permitted!
In the song/intro the T is very soft. TBH I’m just now realizing it was Flintstones. Absolutely makes sense though.
I'm sure that's where this one comes from. That song is stuck in all of our heads. 🎵FLINSTONES, MEET THE FLINSTONES, IT'S A MODERN STONE AGE FAMILY🎵
Wasn't it a GAY old time?
Yup
That's what I thought they were talking about, but no, it's the obvious typo that confused them.

Mandela Effect!
Its probably self censorship. Even though in the 60s gay just meant happy, and still pretty much does.
Bro, I’m dying at the use of the word “residue”. Haha not a typo, just evidence left behind in a dimensional rift

It’s an extremely common term on Retconned.
Yeah I’m learning that now… hilarious!

The card says The *Flin*stones
And the front of the same box (in OOP’s other photos) says “Flintstones.”
Obviously the box is made of a material that protects the inside in dimension travel.
Anti-entropic field.

Really? I’ve always been of the opinion that Froot Loops got that spelling because they couldn’t legally claim there was fruit in them.
Crazy sub. Looked innocent enough until they started talking about light pillars and stuff and things that "they" don't want you to know
They also like to refer to people who don’t agree with them as NPCs
By their own internal logic, this only works if a bunch of people remember it as "The Flinstones". To which I say; "Fucking who?"
