The Mandela effect.

Yup, false memories. A whole industry has sprung around the Mandela Effect ... there's money in it and a world of gullible people. YouTube's filled with the stuff. A first world problem - LOL.

The reason I believe it to have some substance is that everyone remembers the same things. If it was false memories they would be random and we would all create our own. But we seem to share the false memories.

Almost everyone remembers south america being about 1k miles west of where it currently is. I asked like 500 people last night haha. No one remembers New Zealand being south of Australia or japan being only 20-30 miles from Russia's coast.
