This video is a pretty interesting breakdown and offering of rational explanations.
For those who don't know, the Mandela Effect (I think Charli3 brought it up not long ago) is a dissonance between your memory of past events and the present evidence of those events, named after a shit-ton of people who, upon the relatively recent death of Nelson Mandela, swore that they could remember his funeral from the Eighties. I do not experience that particular false memory - I was quite fully aware of Mandela's participation in the transition out of Apartheid, becoming president, his role in the Truth and Reconciliation process, his literal gangster wife and her shenanigans when he was out of office, etc. - so no Mandela Effect for me on Mandela. Of the things mentioned in this video, I was absolutely flabbergasted to learn that C-3PO has always had one silver leg lCGuz0DL0RWwSQbzebJy , and I also would have sworn that Jaws' girlfriend from Moonraker had braces.

C-3PO has always had one silver leg I think I knew that. Wait, now you've got me confused with whether I knew that previously, or just because you said it now. Which is another version of what you are saying, I suppose - thinking you knew something before, when it has just been told to you now. But I'm pretty sure I knew it before, so this is not a case of that. Or is it? She doesn't ( www.imdb.com/title/tt0079574/mediaviewer/rm1115773952), although you can find many images out there showing that she does. It actually makes more sense to the story if she does - it's an immediate 'something in common' with Jaws when they meet, and also makes her more of an imperfect specimen to explain why Jaws betrays Drax when he starts talking about getting rid of the imperfect people from his future world. Yup: www.imdb.com/title/tt0079574/mediaviewer/rm3313523712

Memory is a tricky thing.
The first time I went up to the top of the Eiffel tower I had the strongest sense of deja vu, like I'd definitely been up there before. I put it down to seeing tons of movies with the Eiffel tower (both external shots and shots at the top) and concluded it was nothing more than that.

I think it's just 2 takes the studio has of source elements and they pull out the other take decades later. Such as
Space.. A Final Frontier
Boss, the plane, the plane
The recent "What do you hear: Laurel or Yanni?" while not quite a mandela example is the same thing. They released both versions linking people to different websites to pit the public against each other. LAURELyANNI=33 in chaldean.
ETA I too thought his funeral happened but in the 90s though.

A Final Frontier Boss, the plane, the plane Yeah, there is a lot of potential for that. I would have sworn when I was a kid Han just shot Greedo preemptively. Lol. Certain movies and directors really piss me off with that shit. Last of the Mohicans is one of my favorite movies, but there is almost nowhere you can turn to see it the way it was released in the theaters. Some critical dialogue is omitted in the version you get on BluRay or stream, and one of the best bits of the soundtrack has been removed...Grrr.

Remember when everyone believed that Die Hard starred Ron Silver?
