    Thar reminds me how I misread “Disney” as “Disnep” in their cursive logo for a long time in my childhood. Does that mean there is a Disnep dimension out there? :P

    Wait until people watch old shows from the 90s set in NYC, and there’s these two buildings in the skyline. But when you go to NYC, those buildings DON’T EVEN EXIST!!!

    I’d rather believe in unconscious interdimensional travel then accept that my memories might be wrong.

      My two acceptable hypotheses:

      • We are in a simulation and these are remnants from server migration/discrepancies in the instances.
      • These are dry runs of the man seeing what history they can get away with rewriting and convince us was true.

      No. I cannot create false memories. Nope. I can’t do it. I won’t listen to you. It’s not true! Nonononononononooooooooooooooooooooo! This isn’t my fault! 👉😫👈 lalalalalala

      Motherfuckers… is this why i’ve been remembering shit that other people say never happened? or remembering something people said and then them saying they said something different? wait i recently saw a movie about some guy trying to break out of his reality by flying a rocket to the edge of the universe and has been dimension hoping the entire trip, this is trippy…

      Edit: i can’t find the name of the movie but the plot is as described and he realises he is dimension hoping because his partner is suddenly alive after he killed him or he died in an accident on the ship, can’t remember what happened and at the end he also realises he is in a loop and after he crashes into the edge he chooses the dimension in which he never went into space and escapes the loop, anyone have an idea of what the movie might be called or am i just trippin balls and that movie doesn’t exist in this dimension?

        I mean, if you want the real answer, it’s just that it is incredibly easy to create false memories. Then add in all the social pressure fun that can warp your viewpoint, and you’re off to the races.

    It’s interesting that when you see them laid out like this you can more easily see the reasons people could have come to remember this way.

    For instance, conflating Jif and Skippy as essentially the same product, or getting an association of missing letters from the “eat mor chik’n” cows ad campaign.

      Agreed, also by putting so many together like this, you’re gonna have some people who don’t remember it that way. Like the Monopoly guy is half-convincing to me, but I’m pretty sure it’s just a mix-up with Mr. Peanut.

      My personal reason for messing up Chick Fil A in my head is because there used to be a different chicken restaurant chain where I grew up called Krispy Chic. Not sure if any are still open, but all the ones in aware of closed down decades ago.

              That’s Manitoba. You’re thinking of a person who is not loyal to their own country or political party because they are under the control or influence of another country or party.

                That’s manchurian. You’re thinking of the largest, strongest and only movable bone in the human face.

                  That’s mandible. You’re thinking of a two player board game where people take turns moving beads around small holes to capture one another’s pieces.

    Many of these discrepancies can be attributed to regional differences.

    A famous example: Was it the Berenstain Bears or the Berenstein Bears? The truth is both, just depending on where you got your books from

      This is false. It’s actually incredible that you could go out of your way to make this false statement, with no supporting evidence.

    I recently did some digging on the fruit of the loom logo because I remember learning the word cornucopia and connecting it with the logo on my T-shirts and underwear.

    Yeah, I was mistaken. The dye on some of the clothes just made the logo look like there was a cornucopia. Like the leaves on the side being brown and a tiny bit of those leaves at the top right with the small white grapes at the bottom right also looking the same brown color? It definitely looks like a cornucopia until you look very closely.

    (The logo shown in the image above is a more modern one, look at the earlier ones from around the turn of this century and you’ll see it better)
