how come we all know that in JFK's assassination there was 4 ppl only inside the car, but now it's 6 ppl.
i'm pretty fucking sure it was SEX IN THE CITY, and not SEX AND THE CITY.
This is trivial to explain: culturally accepted memes do not have to be 100 percent accurate. In the case of minor details, like bridge words in the title of a thing or a quote, or the number of people in a car during an event where something way more important was happening, it's more likely that some people misremembered, and then repeated that misinformation to the point that it spread and, eventually, took prominence over the accurate version as the more used cultural meme. People are fallible.
There's something irritatingly conceited about this Mandela effect nonsense, because boiled down to its most basic argumentation, it's just: "I can't possibly be wrong about what I remember, and therefore if something in reality does not match my memory, then clearly something is wrong with the universe, and not me."
That's what I've been telling him regarding the memory part, his eyes seem to fucking skip them all over again. Or maybe I didn't write that shit in his reality, who knows.
