Mandala Effect

Named after the famous Mandala pattern of art this conspiracy theory Is when a large group of people remember something being a certain way, but when people go back and look at it, it has changed or is gone in this universe with no reasoning other than "it's always been like that"

Two popular theories on the Mandala effect are:
Time Travel- Some believe that times travels have come back to the past and changed one little thing that ended up changing many other things kinda like the butterfly effect Think about it the future has already happened so even if time travel is say 1,000 years in the future it has already been done which means time travelers are going back to the past which is our present and changing little things.

Parallel Universe- Others believe that sometime in the last decade or two the world went through a black hole or that our "original world" ended and now we are in this Parallel Universe where something changed in the process of switching or going through the black hole. (most think in the years 2000 or 2012 this happened cause many thought the world was gong to end)

The Mandela Effect Effect

Due to the Mandela Effect which was popularized in 2010 people discovered Nelson Mandela was actually alive and did not die in prison in the 1980s. He later did die in 2013. Because the Mandela Effect is more commonly known than the effect's namesake, many people believe he is still alive.

Nelson Mandela actually died in 2013; you are the victim of the Mandela Effect Effect.

The Mandela Effect

Contrary to popular belief. The Mandela Effect has nothing to do with time travel or multiple alternate universes colliding.

The Mandela Effect is the recollection of events that never occured. (eg: Shazaam featuring Sinbad. It was actually Kazaam featuring Shaq.)

The name of the phenomena is derived from the belief that mandela died in 1991 in prison.

"Remember Sinbad in Shazaam? No. It never existed. It's the Mandela Effect"

mandela effect

An perfect example of how dumb, forgetful and easily persuaded humans are.

I could say, "The word 'carcass' never existed," and everyone would start yelling "MANDELA EFFECT!"

Amy: No no, Rice Krispie is a name of a company, rice crisp-
Barb: IT'S KRISPIE! MANDELA EFFECT!!!
Amy: *rolls eyes*
