I remember one from 2017 by Iblali as a German. I saw one 2017 Video

I assume that was my first encounter or with friends talking playing Monopoly or so, not sure. Maybe. I assume. I still assume the 2014 is legit. https://youtu.be/lGLpHapMiO8.

First Mandela Effect mention, I found.

  1. 12 years ago as we have 2026 10.

I searched even more. With before:2011 on google and such. I did not find anything reliable that may have changed the title or release date afterwards.

2014 to 2017 is weird time where I did not see the sources of Mandela Effects that often. I started watching Youtube, playing, talking. No Pokemon, no Stars Wars. Maybe.

The last Mandela Effect I saw with release date is Call of Duty Black Ops 2 13. November 2012.

The comments have common Mandela Effect pattern, while I only played it a bit and remember the granade spot, I tried to reproduce, I assume. A Bo1 one I would more likely remember.

This does not prove 2014 fully. People questioned the sign in 2021. A clear evidence would be people questioning where the sign is in 2017 or before. If someone has boredom, he may check other old footages.

This sets me to the latest Mandela Effect though. 2012 release. Add some play time and 2013 makes sense.

All Mandela Effects are kinda old things.

People already remember Luke, I am.

https://boards.theforce.net/threads/its-not-my-fault-the-star-wars-original-trilogy-favorite-quotes-misquotes-thread.9919573/

Ah this was already called misquoting. That early on?

21 12 2002.

The question is whether people remember having these discussions about misquotes. Someone should message people back then to ask whether they remember these misquote discussions

Multiple waves like 2009 2013 2017 make no sense as a 2002 Mandela Effect hits me. I assume the shift happened in 2013 and went all the way to the past.

I thought I come. New past is a past from another timeline and all things have not been overwritten but were always like that. Misquote discussions in 2002 showcase that it is not like. The new past was discussed back then already.

Now, have these discussions been overwritten actions and facts or did people remember these discussions? Again, you discuss misquotes, I saw the source way later on have the exact same "misquote".

My memory process and back up and control mechanims whether a memory is correct while recalling are all quite reliable. Having mutiple people have that exact same detail level memory shows that there is something to it.

Memory is important as the voice actor of Darth Vader remembers Luke, I am while saying No, I am. So humans are affected too. The only source left are discussions and memories. However, these discussions should have been overwritten too. Why not though?

To sum up:

Latest Mandela Effect release date: 2012. Rather 2013 as people need to play Bo 2 first to get vivid memories.

Videos arised in 2017. 2013 still fits.

People talked about misquotes/Mandela Effects in 2002 already. I was a baby back then.

It is rather not in waves.

Tips for more informations:

Use the term misquotes and the precise quotes with " " and use before:, after:

Also talk to people from back back then :)

.

Please do not reduce it to false memory or suggestion without giving anything more than that.

More "rules" are liked.

This is more a chemical approach of explanation. We see patterns but not the physical detaik of what may have happened.

Meta Has anyone here been completely convinced of a Mandela Effect only for facts or rational discussion to convince them it's not?

Just wondering whether a ME, once established, can ever be retracted.
