I just had a Mandela Effect conversation

On the Air Jordan "Jump Man" Logo. With my friends group. Picturing it in my head. He's in his air jump pose wearing a pair of basketball shorts, i can even picture his socks in my head.

The thing is He's never worn shorts in that Logo He's always worn a pair of sweat pants. Everyone who ive spoken to says he's wearing shorts we all have this collective memory of him in shorts.

What's a Mandela effect?

@ThePatientAnarchist false memory recall. Or implanted memory
@WowwGirl is there a connection with Nelson Mandela?

@ThePatientAnarchist its when people have a collective memory of something that was totally different or never existed. Its called Mandela Effect because several people remembered Nelson Mandela dying before he actually died

@WowwGirl I would say some of these are not false, but the jury is out on that one, and of course when it comes to things we remember differently, it's extraordinarily difficult to obtain evidence. One Mandela effect I'm convinced is real is Rodin's "Thinker". There are thousands of us out there who distinctly remember that statue as sitting with his fist against his forehead.

@LordShadowfire I thought it was shorts too

@WowwGirl 😂 see! 😂😂😂😂 It's not just me

@WowwGirl It just makes more sense. He didn't play in long pants. No serious pro basketball player does. They get in the way. They restrict movement.

@LordShadowfire I think it got changed
WowwGirl · 36-40, F
@AngelUnforgiven yeah I wasn't going to say anything 🤣
AngelUnforgiven · 51-55, F
@WowwGirl I'm glad you did. 😂😂😂
WowwGirl · 36-40, F
@AngelUnforgiven anytime.
@LordShadowfire I totally thought his fist was on his forehead!!
WowwGirl · 36-40, F
@ThePatientAnarchist why pants? Those are warm ups
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@ThePatientAnarchist And yet in this reality, it's his hand, closed only loosely, held against his chin. This is not the statue I grew up with.
WowwGirl · 36-40, F
@LordShadowfire I swear they changed it
AngelUnforgiven · 51-55, F
@LordShadowfire you mean like this vs this ? Ive never heard that before or even thought about it. Now im thinking about it.
WowwGirl · 36-40, F
@AngelUnforgiven 😆🤣🤣🤣 it's getting worse
AngelUnforgiven · 51-55, F
@WowwGirl lol i know its a rabbit hole 🤣
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@AngelUnforgiven that's exactly what I mean. And I know people are going to call me crazy for having this opinion, but I think it's to do with interdimensional travel, whether intentional or not. Parallel universes. I think sometimes we slip from one to another, and the only evidence we have that it's happened is our memories of something subtly different.
AngelUnforgiven · 51-55, F
@LordShadowfire i dont think that you are crazy because its happening way too much.

@LordShadowfire Another for me is Grand Central Station; now they say it's Grand Central Terminal.

@Cloud7593 What? Since when? It's always been Grand Central Station. Looks like I shifted again.
