  • The Berenstain Bears mandela effect definitely predates Harambe. And though I certainly believe I remember the cornucopia, I’m willing to admit there could be a valid explanation for that. But The Berenstain Bears… That one keeps me up at night.

    I know it is actually Bearenstain and if it was ever any different then there would be evidence, and that mandela effects are just a version of urban legends that play on peoples susceptibility to implanted memory, but I know it was Bearenstein.

    I was an extremely pedantic and detail oriented child who loved to read and only had so many books. I still vividly recall many nights spent secretly awake studying the covers of those books, tracing the letters and reading and rereading the stories, thinking the bears must be Jewish like me even though they act very Christian. I had a few tapes as well and if they had a different title I was exactly the child who would notice and be upset about it. And speaking of I also remember the day my world was rocked by this revelation. Prior to it becoming a meme, back before the name ‘mandela effect’ was coined I came across one of the books and immediately caught the spelling. I dug up as many items as I could find and they all had the same spelling. I never felt so betrayed by my reality. I turned to the Internet for support but there wasn’t much discourse on it at the time, at least not that I could find. Now I’m being told I’m misremembering, but there is not a doubt in my mind they were The Berenstein Bears.

    Most purported mandela effects are clearly just people misremembering, but I will die on Berenstein hill.





  • Wtf is this argument? Swinging things applies other forces besides your own power and speed, and since you brought up those two forces you must realize there’s a minimum of both that must be applied in order to swing an object properly and you’d also know full well as Newton’s third law of motion dictates that when said swinging object meets the object at rest that the sum of those forces will be exerted back onto the swinging object. Every choice made equals bird death. He didn’t flick it on the nose, he didn’t show it up slightly, he didn’t swing it into some software brush or a beach ball or an elastic fence, he swung it into a brick wall. A + B = C. Anything else is just conjecture on your end, made in some vain attempt to justify brutish thuggery just because the victim was an animal you don’t respect.

    Try it yourself. Get about two feet of rope or something. Tie an egg to the end. See exactly how much speed and power you have to use to get it to properly swing. Then swing it into a brick wall and try not to break the egg. Make sure to film the attempt, I’d love to see it.










  • I have dabbled in video editing and it is SO easy to manipulate and level the audio track so that dialogue is louder than music and sound effects. This has led me to believe that movies where this is a major problem like Tenet are absolutely mixed this way on purpose, and the only reasonable conclusion to draw from that is that Christopher Nolan is insane.
