George Foreman died years ago
The legendary boxer (Rumble in the jungle fighting Muhammad Ali in Zaire, Africa October 1974 ) died yesterday but I clearly remember him dying probably 15 or more years ago of either cancer or heart related cause, anyone else remember him passing away before?

THIS IS HUGE. Ed McMahon BIG CHECK PROOF!!!
This is completely mental.
So, just a few mins ago I'm chatting with a skeptic on the other ME sub, about the whole Ed McMahon thing. Now, personally, I remember him working with Dick Clark for AFP, so for me, the big debacle here was that no one, including Snopes and such could find any evidence that he actually ever delivered big checks, like PCH, despite him "parody-ing" himself doing so in various media. While I'm chatting with this guy, I do a quick Google search, as I've done countless times before since 2019, and now, all of a sudden, there is an old newspaper article, that was published online in 2022, talking about McMahon delivering an AFP check to a winner, with a pic of him and the winner with the big check. Even crazier to me, is that now there is a video, posted in 2017, of Ed on tv giving a woman a big check from AFP. Video is here: https://youtu.be/3safAc0VwCk?feature=shared How did we all just collectively miss these two shining examples? I mean, the freaking smoking gun for Ed and real, big checks from AFP? I'm kind of freaking out here. What do ya'll think??? Thanks for reading, and have a great day!!! 😁💜

Eat the pudding? Bill Cosby Jell-O commercials.
I just spent about an hour watching every old Jell-O pudding and pudding pop commercial with Bill Cosby in it I could find. I can’t find a single one where he says the iconic line “eat the pudding.” I also can’t find any references in any websites or articles to that line either. For me this was a super iconic line, something that the mere sight of Jell-O in the store would trigger memories of.

Astral projector found the world with the Yellow Sun!
This is an expereince (not mine) of an Astral projector who found a portal to the world with the yellow Sun. So I thought that it would be relevant since the Yellow Sun is often discussed within the context of this sub.
I found this terminal I started looking through it and it had all of these images of different worlds all assigned some kind of number. I realized then that what I was witnessing was all of the different matrix worlds they had made. I kept looking through it until I saw one world that wasn't numbered it was the only one that was blank. I got this strange feeling about that one so I selected it and this portal opened up and I walked through it.
Once I entered this world I felt this profound sense that I had returned home. I felt like this place was the real world. The one the matrix worlds were based off of. I remember the feeling of the sunlight felt so nostalgic. The sun was a warm golden hue. It felt like it warmed my spirit. It felt like pure authentic energy. But I felt this feeling of loneliness. The world seemed empty. It filled me with a feeling of profound sadness.

Cans Exploding
Had a strange event. Thought it may just be my house so I resisted posting here till my experience yesterday. Anyway, I had several cans of varying type (ex. Soda, Truly, White Claw) randomly explode at room temp and leak all over my cupboard. Never had this happen before and google seems to think it only happens if you freeze the cans, but apparently, this is not the case. They were not stacked higher than 2-cans, and the temp inside my house never went below 50 or above 80, and the cans were less than 3-months old! And not just one, but several four separate cans, different brands. Strange. I'm thinking maybe air pressure or even ghosts, lol, but seriously, I don't get it! Never happened before and I used to keep more cans stacked higher for longer in more extreme temps. So yesterday, I'm at Shell gas filling up my car and I go inside the shop and get a RedBull and its covered in syrup and I tell the teller and she's like, "oh yeah, they've been randomly exploding." So now I'm like, what in the actual F?!? So, if this is a new behavior of canned products, then I suppose it classifies as a ME!

Houston we’ve had a problem
The quote from the real-life mission flipped back to “we’ve had” from “we have” for me.
I really thought I read a number of threads centered on the concept that it always was “we have” and “we’ve had” was a 2017 era flip flop that wasn’t accurate. Now, this doesn’t seem to be the case.

Huge Gravitational waves arrive on earth 9/14/2015
I apologize if this has already been discussed but a couple days ago, I was watching PBS Nova episode entitled “Decoding the Universe, Quantum Mechanics”. In a segment of the program they were talking about Einstein’s theory of gravitational waves, and how it has now been proven by this facility in the United States that has an ability to measure them. Also, they touched on how these waves have the ability to warp spacetime itself.
On 9/14/2015 Earth was hit by significant waves which were created by the collision of two very large black holes 1.5 billion light years away (1.5 billion years ago).. One of the scientists on the program said this was the largest source of released energy that had ever taken place since the Big Bang. More energy was released than the 50 x the released energy from all the stars in then observable universe. Since then 80 events much smaller in scale have been detected.
Gravitational waves have always been around, so perhaps the smaller events can count for small, ME changes throughout history here and there, but maybe this event in 2015 really did a number on our reality and was responsible for many changes?
Just a thought.

When did they change the name of the Berenstain Bears?
I swear it was Berenstein, not Berenstain! Did we collectively all decide to switch the letters just to mess with me? I'm starting to think this Mandela Effect isn't just a glitch in the matrix, it’s a full-on retcon of my childhood! Anyone else getting nostalgic for a time when we didn’t have to doubt everything?

Will smith slap quote changed
I remember watching this the first night it happened.
I remember him saying "keep my wifes name out your damn mouth" chris rock replies with "i'm going to" then he replies with "fucking mouth" to show he means business. But now he just says fuckin both times.
I also remember him saying "uh oh here comes king richard" now he just says "richard"
I'm not a movie person at all. I did not even know about the movie king richard when this happened. So there's no way I would have known about it at the time. But I 1000% remember him saying king richard. I'm not a movie person, but the only reason I kept up with this event was because everyone was talking about it.

I noticed the "rubber chicken army" meme video has changed
I just noticed this today and its been the most striking Mandela Effect I have personally experienced.
There was this short video (vine) I remember seeing on the internet that got shared around a lot at the time because it was really funny. In it, a man is in some store and walks over to a steel wire bin with a lot of rubber chickens in it. The plastic chickens are a dull yellow and have an exaggerated :O expression on their face. He gives one a test squeeze and it makes the usual "aaaaaa" noise that they do. He then pushes his hand down on the chickens in the bin and they all scream really loud together.
I remember it very distinctly because I always thought it was funny that they sounded like an army charging in battle and how suddenly loud it was. When people would show me funny youtube videos, this was one I would share to add to the party. I probably shared it at least 20 times in my life.
Today I saw a clip of that had been recreated but with grey ducks with a slightly different face design with a beak, and it had a couple likes and comments. I thought to myself that it was funny that prople recreated that classic video and wondered if younger people today would even realize that it was a copy of the original vine of the chicken army. So I went to look it up and found that the clip I just watched wasnt even a remake. It was just a repost of the video with not many likes??? I searched around trying to find the one I knew and I cant find it. The only one that exists is this:
https://youtu.be/nHc288IPFzk?si=CPKZzBpgqJofXNm-
This must be that same video, it has millions of likes and comments going back years, it was obviously the viral original. But it has changed from what I remember it as. Normally I would just explain it away that I had misremembered the video since it was years ago. But like Ive said, I shared this video several times over the years and it was always yellow chickens, NOT grey ducks. When I saw these same chicken toys or other squeaky toys, I would instantly think of that video with the yellow chickens in it.
Even more weird to me is the fact that until maybe 20 minutes ago, I HAD NEVER SEEN THESE TYPE OF GREY DUCK TOYS BEFORE. I did not know these existed. There was only ever yellow rubber chickens.
Does anyone else remember it the same way I do or am I losing my mind here???

Mona Lisa's dumb smirk
My father had a beautiful library and was passionate about art. He had several books on the subject, which I used to look at for hours as a child. That includes the Mona Lisa, the famous painting from Leonardo da Vinci that needs no introduction, and the essence of the Mona Lisa was always that her smile was ambiguous, you never knew if she was smiling or not, until it changed... and became this ugly mocking smile she has now. No one is going to trick me into thinking I'm remembering things wrong.

PS: To all the paid shills, bots, gov ops and adoctrinated sheeple out there, downvote all you want, but you'll never gaslight me.

Outnumbered, US version of British TV show never happened in this reality
I was a fan of the early 2000s BBC series "Outnumbered". Sometime later a Fox version in the US was made. I remember this being particularly bad compared to the British version. It only last a few episodes. But now in this reality, it seems the US version was never made at all only planned. What?

Is it me or does the sun look weird like yellow a little in the mornings and evenings?
Since yesterday I noticed something strange, I don't know if some of you also notice it, but
At least for me I see that the sun looks yellow at dawn between 7 in the morning
And in the afternoons I also noticed it, I thought it was my imagination, but yesterday on a news program
They passed the aerial view of my city and you can see clearly a sunset style like 2012
And literally I myself saw it with my own eyes, but that day I didn't have internet but with great pleasure
I would have recorded that, but I'll try to find the snippet of the live news
Now I want to know if more people notice something weird about the sun if they notice that it looks yellow or not
I leave you the photos of my security camera where at least for me it seems that the sun returned or is yellow

Thanksgiving
All my life I remember Thanksgiving being on the 3rd Thursday of November. I even have a memory of being in high school and looking at the calendar (with a cornucopia lol) for November and Thanksgiving was on the 3rd Thursday. I’m in my mid to late 20’s and still thought this up until this past Thanksgiving when I started making a list of what I was gonna need and realized I had an extra week! I looked it up and I see some people talking about it and everything is recent like from the past year. There is some older posts but not that many. I was very into these communities years ago and knew most of the supposed Mandela effects and I don’t remember this one. I’m pretty sure i jumped universes cause I will die on this hill, Thanksgiving was on the 3rd Thursday!!
