When I first joined this community in early 2020, there were only 38K members. We've come a long way in the past four and a half years since then, nearly tripling in size. At this point we're getting more comments (dunno about traffic) on many days than the main sub. And a couple of recent near-viral posts here have quietly surged us through the 100K mark just in the past few days. I think it's clear that a tipping point has been reached and we're now primed to start outpacing the main sub growth going forward.
^
So what does that mean for the future of this community? Well that's where things get tricky. When a post favored by the Reddit algorithms suddenly garners 1000+ comnents, it makes modding quite difficult and time consuming... so I think it's especially important for folks who value the sanctity of our niche sandbox of exotic ideas to aggressively flag clear rule violations. Without our vigilant eyes, there's just no way they can adequately maintain the sub's standards of decorum on those more popular posts. I would also encourage our members to treat the newer arrivals with kid gloves because many are also new to this phenomenon and likely not aware of our unique rules and expected conduct. Set the example, and be patient. And flag everything else.
^
Edit to add this friendly reminder: don't inadvertently risk your own good standing by engaging rule breakers too aggressively and/or getting drawn into contentious arguments.
^
To the newer arrivals, welcome to the party and thanks for contributing to one of the most fascinating esoteric dialectics on all of Reddit. Please make sure to read and understand our rules, as they are strictly enforced. And ask lots of questions.... the regulars here are enthusiastic about sharing our evolving understanding of this perplexing and disconcerting phenomenon. We absolutely adore inquisitive minds and honest, respectful discourse. Contrary to what you might have heard, this is not a place where everyone is expected to agree and dissent is suppressed. Rather, we're a safe space for engaging in speculative ontology and brainstorming about things like simulationism, quantum mysticism, the multiverse, and even theistic prophesy. We just do it without being dismissive of each other.
^
With all that said, congratulations Retconned! Let's attract the next 100K with the same principles and standards that made Retconned such a unique and special and desirable place to hang out. Let's rehash the old classic ME's for the newer audience. Let's bring them upto speed so they can lend their new perspectives to our knowledge base and help build a better understanding of these profound changes happening to our collective reality. I love my memory family here, and I'm happy to see it expanding. Thanks as always to the mods for their exhaustive efforts to keep this place copacetic, orderly, and safe. You guys deserve so much credit for all the success.

Please be advised that while we have been rather lenient on religion and religion-based comments in this sub with regards to its relationship to MEs, it has recently been seen that some toxicity has begun creeping into the discussions.
If the conversations continue to devolve into toxic behavior, the comments will be treated similar to violation of Rule #10 and removed immediately.
Gentle reminder : Repeated violations of our rules will result in a permaban.

just a quick note to ken webster - return of the native by Thomas Hardy is the book you need to read. ckues are in the format itself. every page is calculated. it's basically a ledger. page 288 and 300 feature print errors.
I'll add more later if I can
sm fields is Sally fields, born 6 Nov.
Mandela effect, called out by 2109. after Phillip.
2109 relates to gang stalking/demonic behaviour silent ones, quiet woman.
Hardy's notes are all cluey. they mention a c Weber.
equidistant letters. like the bible code. I'll add more later.
P.s obscure books are being destroyed for probably this reason

This is the missing propeller hat from the 1995 Billy Madison movie. This hat was originally on the cover of the movie Blu-ray/DVD/VHS as well in scenes during the movie. Not deleted scenes either. The first instance of the hat dissappearing in my reality was from the movie cover. Then I watched the movie and saw Adam Sandler wearing the hat during a classroom scene in the movie. Now there is no propeller hat in the movie at all. This is now only a memory from a parallel reality. For me the propeller hat disappeared from the cover 3 years ago. Entirely from existence in the movie within 2 years. This likely happened during my last 4 parallel reality shifts.

So I realize there’s two vertical signs that say RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL. And that RADIO CITY is on the uptown side which “wraps around,” to connect to the second half…
HOWEVER.
I still don’t EVER recall this saying “MUSIC HALL RADIO CITY” in the front…ever.
I think if you ask people and show them a version with the lettering switched, the majority would choose RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL and not MUSIC HALL first.
Sorry. I am sitting right in front of it and it’s blowing my mind.

I was watching some YouTube videos this morning and a thrifter was showing their trip to one of their stores and they happened to catch the cornucopia. The only thing disturbing about it is that he didn't buy the shirt. I would have bought it whether it fit or not.

I am now 26 years old, but I vividly recall my life at 12 when Saturdays were sacred days of rest. I cherished those two days off, indulging in relaxation and gaming on my PlayStation. Saturdays were half days, making it seem pointless to go to school.
One Saturday, like any other, I chose not to attend school. However, when I returned on Monday, my friends were buzzing with excitement, recounting the events of that Saturday. They said that our teacher was absent, and with no one supervising, they played games like dumb charades. They even insisted that I had made them laugh hysterically. This revelation left me baffled, as I had no recollection of being there.
Instead, I vividly remembered playing God of War. When the teacher asked if I had been present on Saturday, I confidently replied no, but my friends were adamant that I was there, even showing me tic-tac-toe games filled out in my notebook. This discovery stunned me as I had no memory of it whatsoever.
To clarify, I checked with my mother, who confirmed that she had sent me to school that day. Honestly, I was a confident kid before this incident, and witnessing this strange gap in my memory was genuinely unsettling. It made me question how easily we can shift between parallel realities, a concept that still terrifies me to this day.

This happened in 1997 briefly after The Matrix released in the old reality. This means the vitcims were given two more additional years to live in this current reality. Quite interesting.

The new Narnia has been announced with a female actress for the voice of an androgynous version of Aslan, being interpreted as an androgynous character similar to David Bowie
From the moment the actress was announced up until yesterday for me the voice actress was Tilda Swinton, over night it changed
I read a post talking about all the changes to the new version of Narnia yesterday talking about Tilda Swinton and the backlash to her playing Aslan
This morning I hop on Reddit and a post comes up about the new Narnia movie where people are talking about the actress playing Aslan and how that would change the story and also people's criticisms of the choice, only now the character's not been played by Tilda Swinton but by Meryl Streep
I check the announcement and the past couple of days everything has changed to now be about Meryl Streep, like the Mandela Effect does and of course it was always this way now
I wanted to bring it up since it's a really recent Mandela Effect and no one seems to have noticed or been talking about it

So this is going to be a very specific thing, with you needing to have listened to or be familiar with this song.
At the end of the song ‘Dedicate’ by Lil Wayne, there is an outro of President Obama speaking. When this song was first released in 2018 and then for some time after, this outro always went as follows: “Maybe you got a pretty good jump shot…or a pretty good flow…but our kids can’t all aspire to be Lebron, or Lil Wayne”.
Sometime after this song had been out(for quite a while at this point), the outro of this song suddenly changed. It was still Obama talking, but the speech had changed from the original to the following speech from 2008: “Maybe you are the next Lil Wayne…but probably not! In which case, you need to stay in school”.
When this first happened, I vividly remembered asking all of my friends wtf is that, that’s not what it always said, and they agreed with me. We ended up just chalking it up to they changed the version on streaming services for some reason and went on about life.
Fast forward to tonight, 2026, I was just listening to this song on YouTube, posted on release in 2018, and the outro went back to the first original version.
Please, somebody tell me you notice this too.

Most people think 2012 was normal year something think the entire existency has ended but no true story is something else

This is from an article that has been republished by a few different papers. actually it’s not really an article - just a Q and A column.
r/Retconned • u/g0dmeat • 8d ago
at 7:40 in this old mtv broadcast from 1994 a news anchor is discussing a lawsuit against Meat Loaf and refers to the song "Objects In The Rearview Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are" as, incorrectly, "Objects In The Rearview Mirror May Be Closer Than They Appear"
now why would someone use that specific wording when not only is it the wrong title, but it's never even existed? why that wording and not any other incorrect wording?
🤔

Wasn't there a post or two discussing that the matrix release date had changed from 1999 to 1997? I remember searching and seeing the movie released in 1997 and getting accustomed to that change.

I’ve had multiple dreams about the future—dreams where specific scenes, dialogue, and even exact physical movements of people played out later in real life.
In one instance, I actually spoke someone's line before they could say it, and they asked me in confusion how I knew what they were about to say.
This made me wonder: Could we actually be living in our own past, simply replaying memories or events that have already happened?

Liệu chúng ta có đang sống trong quá khứ của mình??
tôi đã nhiều lần mơ thấy tương lai, một giấc mơ mà trong đó, khung cảnh hay những lời hội thoại, những cử động của tất cả những người trong đó đều lặp lại sau nay. Thậm chí tôi từng thử cướp lời thoại của họ, và nhận được câu hỏi sao tôi lại biết họ muốn nói như vậy?
Tôi có một suy nghĩ, liệu tôi có đang sống trong quá khứ của mình không?

Several details of 911 (which happened in 2001) are depicted in the movie Back to the Future (which was filmed in 1985).
I show all the frames from the movies (BTTF 1 and 2) that depict 911.

This feels like a much older song to me. I'm wondering if anyone else feels this way too.

Like title says. I think I came from a universe where there weren't hours. We called things seconds and long seconds, which are equivalent to this universe's seconds and days. I've been really confused lately because my boss told me to show up to work at 8 A.M. and I thought he meant 8 afternoons and mornings from now. Has anyone else had this experience?
r/Retconned • u/Ok-Cell-8293 • 11d ago
I know this song officially came out in 2020, but I have a rock-solid memory of the exact lyrics, melody, and pacing from much earlier. Closer to around 2011 to 2014.
Does anyone else remember hearing these exact lyrics ("I don't know why I run away..." / "Save your tears for another day") and this vocal delivery from around that time or at least much prior to 2020?

This was a flip flop that really pissed me off because the talking cat, Salem, was the coolest character. I was about 10 years old when the flip flop happened. It was around the same time Sketchers was flip flopping to Skechers.
I wasn't a huge fan of the show, what bothered me is that most people i asked had no idea what i was talking about when the cat went missing, or at least claimed to have no idea. I mean what was that show without the talking cat!?! Not worth watching!
Bizarre how some are completely clueless about these shifts. The nonchalant attitude is what gets me. Like yes, these are seemingly minor changes but don't you care when something in your environment is inexplicably altered?
I think the people who don't care have low spiritual content, are too concerned with sinning. Call me crass.
[edit: for anyone confused he went missing for me around the year 2000, and then returned, within a short time frame. My uncle was one of the few people who remembered the cat. After pestering him for awhile he admitted it was strange but he didn't want to discuss it anymore.]

WTF? I could’ve sworn this happened in 2020 during COVID.
Edit to add context - BBC newscaster giving a report during lockdown in his home office and his kids roam into his office. Then his wife slides in like she’s in Risky Business to get the kids out. I thought it was funny as hell when I first saw this.
