No, dude, that is the weed.  Seriously lay off of it. 

I’m sure it has added to my mindset, but honestly this phenomenon is extremely difficult for me to even explain. I know what I remember, but obviously current reality doesn’t jive with others or myselves alternate memories.

Okay I don't tell this story often but...

 

I watched the matrix a lot in college.  Like a lot a lot.  I had a VCR and would put that tape on to fall asleep.  At one point I thought hmmm what if the matrix is real and this is the way of them communicating it.  

 

What is more likely?  The matrix is real or I got way too high that night?

 

Earlier you even listed out possible reasons, get to #5 (the actual real reason) and immediately discount it.  Why do thousands of people remember it that way?  Confabulation for many and dismembering for others.  Remember the old Carlin joke.  Think of how stupid the average person is then realize that half the population is dumber than that.

I don’t reject this “reality” I just don’t fully accept this “reality” is the only explanation of life experiences.

If you watched the Matrix, do you remember a scene where agent Smith says Mr. Anderson, we’ve been expecting you. Or when Morpheus tells Neo, what if everything he knew was a lie. But in this reality, those lines were never said.

I’ve literally watched the matrix 30 times, and there are scenes in the movie that are no longer there. Either somebody is playing psyop games, making cuts without telling everyone, or reality has changed.

Our dreams are just us experiencing our alternate realities, and our awake time is one of the dreams experienced by our alternates.

A lot o' people don't realize what's really going on. They view life as a bunch o' unconnected incidents 'n things. They don't realize that there's this, like, lattice o' coincidence that lays on top o' everything. Give you an example; show you what I mean: suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, "plate," or "shrimp," or "plate o' shrimp" out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconsciousness.

This whole thing reminds me of some of the parents my wife runs into as a teacher.  No matter how many mistakes the kid makes, the parents will always deny it and argue that the kid was right.  Their little angel can never be wrong.  It's not possible.  They can ignore reality all they want, that's fine.  But it will never change the fact that their kid is an f'n moron.

So I remember, clear as day. I was about 4-5 years old. My parents took me to the carnival at the Southgate Plaza in West Seneca. There was a clown show, that relied on a lot of audience participation. I was picked out of the crowd to be the "strong man." They put me in a caveman type jacket, and I lifted an inflatable dumbbell over my head. Then they picked my dad out of the crowd, and put him in a Bill Clinton mask (who was president at the time),  and had him lead a small parade of all of the kids around the stage. Neither of my parents have any recollection of any of this happening. But I know it wasn't a dream.

my uncle put up the White Album pictures with Ringo and George mixed up from the accepted order, i thought the George pic was Ringo for many years, didn't matter much compared to the iconic John pic

The Agent Smith line? No I don't remember that

The Morpheus one?  Eh something like that but I haven't watched the movie in so long I wouldn't pretend to have it memorized.  I don't remember the movie verbatim.

 

I don't really give the Mandela effect much credence.  What I do find fascinating is that people think it is more likely that there are multiple realities than it is that they simply remember incorrectly.  That is the real mind boggling thing here.

Well I distinctly remember those lines, and so do thousands of other people. Something just isn’t right. Even digitally editing out the lines don’t make sense, because even older dvds don’t contain the lines. Either false memories were implanted into people’s mind, or people experienced a slightly different reality. At this point I’m thinking people are being exposed to memory implantation technology via transmission towers.

It pisses me off. I can still hear agent smith and Morpheus voices saying those exact lines in my mind. They were iconic lines. This Mandela effect phenomenon is like a splinter in my mind!

Dammit, I wish this thread was an implanted memory.
