Phthisis posted:I know how to spell Chumbawamba entirely due to that one goon (GutterMonkey?) who lost a mod challenge or something and got "Chumbawumba" tattooed on himself. God, that whole thread was glorious. One goon was legit on the verge of donating a kidney (anonymously, no less) just because of the mod challenge. Like...he was seriously risking his health and future plans to join the armed services to avoid a permaban. Seems a bit extreme. Thankfully, the mods agreed that him doing the research and actually looking like he was legit considering it was enough, as they did not want to turbo-gently caress his future health and career plans. Edit: Content! When I was in high school, late 90's, Apple released some of the first iBooks:  I could have SWORN that I saw a version of these, in ads and possibly even in store, that had a weird pyramid on the back. Like...looking almost EXACTLY like an iMac if you turned it down onto it's screen, and shrank it a little bit. No, I didn't think the laptop had a CRT, I just thought Apple made a laptop with a weird plastic pyramid on the back/top as some sort of weird aesthetic choice, and even mocked their choice to my friends, who agreed with me that it was asinine to make a laptop with a weird bulge on the top/back of the lid!

Chester from Linkin Park is in Saw VII. Until like, a month ago, I had never seen Saw VII, but I was entirely convinced that he was the first of the five main participants to die in Saw V. I had explicit memories of him getting decapitated in that pulley-head-box thing. I'm kind of squeamish so that kind of stuff stays with me. Not only is he obviously not in Saw V, but the person who dies in that trap is a blond woman who could not possibly look any more different than Chester.

Jasus Christ posted:Funny, I always thought it was the "Mandala" effect, as in the universe / you came from a different one. Makes more sense than naming it after a public figure you thought was dead for 20 + years, IMO. Another one that hit me recently was when I watched Superman Red Son. I thought it was weird that they dropped Supes growing a Stalin mustache once he goes full despot. I went and looked in my TPB of the original comic and sure enough, he never did and I had no idea where I got the idea from. Turns out I was mixing it up with this stupid comedy about Stalins illegitimate son growing up in Australia and becoming a right bastard.

That's exactly it. They wouldn't entertain the possibility that memory isn't a perfect objective account of an event because then, in their words, "how could you know anything to be true?"

it actually is a kinda big problem that we can't trust our own interpretation and recollection of things, that's why we have the scientific method so we can fact-check the hell out of everything and then a bunch of WELL ACTUALLY nerds come and peer review your work hoping to poke holes in it for nerd xp

Question: What is Bart's most famous quote from the Simpsons episode "Das Bus"? Answer: "In conclusion, Libya is a land of constrast." Not "contrasts" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqz2fl9aJSM&t=21s I could have sworn it was "contrasts" the first time I heard it but maybe it's because everyone keeps (mis)quoting it on these forums.

One of the mods who is also one of the most active posters is a horror fiction writer who worked their way over from /r/nosleep and /r/glitch_in_the_matrix posts to switch their focus to alt-reality/conspiracy garbage once he realized there's basically a prepackaged audience of credulous numbskulls to be milked. They even wiped out the post history of their main account to remove evidence of their blatant lies, and pull some cold reading bullshit from time to time to try and get peoples attention ("e.g. has anyone else noticed their vibration changing this year?" then offering pseudospiritual guidance to any takers) and holy poo poo do people fall for it. They were trying to rope in people to produce content for them a while back, I don't really want to know if anything came of that because seeing it all unfold to the point that people treat the guy as some kind of dimension-hopping guru was kind of depressing. The SOB has even called out other people pulling the same bullshit. The only one of these garbage things that has got me questioning my faculties is the whole "Shazam starring Sinbad" 90s movie that never existed but I vaguely remember. Maybe God realized that of all things that was a mistake that needed to be fixed.

Is Mandela Effect when you misremember anything or just when lots of people do it? I remember a day in high school where my maths teacher asked me to solve a problem om the board and I looked up and said I didn't know how to as I'd missed the previous class and hadn't borrowed anyone's book to copy up notes yet. She looked at me and said I had been at the previous class and had solved problems then. I looked in my notebook and indeed it was all there in my handwriting. What had happened was memory loss as a side effect of medication and it turns out I've lost like half a year from around that time Is that like a half-nelson

I watched this video and I'm still not sure if this is a real company or not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUPxDLMCUKM the only example from the video which surprised me was the location of the heart, but I put that down to 1) the heart points left a bit and 2) I never really gave much thought to the precise location of the heart.
