I think also, that's where the out-tube is for your heart, so that's where you feel the "beat" even though that's not specifically where the heart is. I could be wrong I guess "I could be wrong" is the theme of this thread. credburn has a new favorite as of 05:47 on Sep 17, 2020 |

I always thought this came from an episode of Pinky and the Brain. The one where they have an infomercial/telethon trying to sell whatever it is plus an unspillable mug with a rounded bottom that clearly only spilt. I think it had to do with NASA. Some chief engineer had the mug and kept spilling it. I've never actually searched for this episode so for all I know it was a fever dream and that line really did just appear from out of the aether. For the record I also remember Jaws' girlfriend had braces but I was smaller then and reality was a lot more malleable.

I'm not a jazz head, but I've spent 20 years listening to The Birth Of Cool by MIles Davis. Except it's not called that, is it?

I have a distinct memory of watching the Simpsons in the 90s, and Bart calls up Moe's and asks for a Homer Sexual. Homer hears that and says to himself, "Ooh, that might be me." It's seems I clearly dreamed this up out of thin air, but it feels as real as any other memory. The mind is a funny thing.

I feel like the Berenstein bears thing makes perfect sense if you're ever learned any German. "Stein" would be the correct spelling, so seeing the weird Americanized "stain" one is pretty jarring, and your brain probably just ignores it unless you're actually paying close attention. Bernstein meaning amber and all. Thoughtless has a new favorite as of 11:26 on Sep 18, 2020 |

Personally I always just chalked it up to pronunciation of the word itself affecting how people think it's spelled. From some real quick googling it seems the "-stain" is 'officially' pronounced just like the word "stain", but I doubt many people had heard the official pronunciation said out loud, so it became more like "steen" (a la mangosteen) which would be spelled "-stein". That plus many years of not having to think about the Berenstain Bears = remembering it being spelled the way you pronounced it as a kid, because the actual spelling didn't matter to you at the time.

I saw a picture on Tumblr of an old VHS cassette of a presumably cartoon adaptation which had -stain on the box, but -stein on the label on the cassette. I can see how people got confused.

Syndication of shows like the Simpsons can also be a cause of people remembering things differently. They cut stuff out of the episodes to fit more commercials in.

As a kid in the 80ties I remember being shocked by a joke in a typical feel good comedy about somebody climbing the ladder to success, a bit like 'working girl' with Melanie whatshername. The Melanie character had an Afro-american house cleaner and at some point she 'jokes' that they never should have gotten rid of slavery. Now I just wonder if that happened at all, or if I just cut and pasted poo poo together in my brain, or maybe that there was something like that in a movie and they later edited that scene.

Disco Pope posted:I joined the Mandela Effect Reddit at one point to read interesting common misconceptions and had to leave once I realised most people there seemed to believe the brain was some kind of video camera. "The television screen is the retina of the mind's eye. Therefore the television screen is part of the physical structure of the brain. Therefore whatever appears on the television screen emerges as raw experience for those who watch it. Therefore television is reality, and reality is less than television."

Yes obviously most of these are bullshit, but the fact that she had braces was the whole point of that scene in Moonraker. That's what they bonded over! He smiles at her and the sun glints off his metal teeth, then she smiles back and the sun glints off her braces. What the gently caress is this poo poo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oL3RnXY2FYA
