Side note, I watched a video about how Mandela effect is maybe the most American concept ever. So many people kinda ignored/forgot that a guy won the Nobel Prize and was president of a major country for several years, or were never taught it because he’s black. Even more couldn’t be bothered to pay close enough attention to the spelling of a popular author’s name (also foreign). People would rather think that there is some supernatural mystic shared memory gap experience rather than believe we’re idiots.
I thought the whole Mandela effect/Berinstain Bears thing was tongue in cheek satire about our faulty memories, but then again I thought flat earth was tongue in cheek satire.
That’s how I treat it. I often use the phrase when I’m surprised to learn I remembered something wrong. I don’t actually believe I’ve traveled to an alternate dimension.
I hope you guys are right and most people use it that way, and some small instances it’s kinda funny. But I fear the danger of being able to handwave away more important information as “it’s weird how our brains do that!” instead of crap, I need to pay more attention. Maybe a case by case thing I dunno.
