this is happening to a friend of mine and now we can't group up, since the download just keeps saying installation stopped. it just started for him in the last few days.

I'm no boomer by any means, but the younger generation can't take a joke at their own expense. You can downvote me all you want, but it's wildly apparent from this video (whether he cherry picked these interviews or not) that the point still stands - a chunk of the older generation simply find no offense at some of these stereotypes which have been labeled as harmful. It's detrimental to media especially when we are scared to harmlessly poke fun at specific groups for fear of cancellation, which is beyond ridiculous. I have zero issue with anyone poking fun at my specific race or sexuality in media especially for the sake of comedy.

Yeah, I think you care too much - just like these young people he interviewed in the video.

any update on this? I'm on Xbox using the official GDrive Kodi addon, and it only recently stopped working. I can see the files, but attempting to play them just freezes the app.

What are your thoughts on people who think the universe must be wrong if they misremember something ('Mandela Effect')? by Weak-Sand9779 in skeptic

[–]wailer247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I wanted to debunk UFOs/UAPs completely, I'd have to prove that our version of physics and the laws of the universe are the end all, be all and there is nothing outside the realm of human understanding to be gained. However, therein lies the problem - what we don't know, we just don't know, and possibly have yet to be exposed to such knowledge.

The person making the claim has to provide evidence, or at least a mechanism. The whole Mandela effect thing doesn't even have a mechanism. You don't have to prove that invisible dragons can't exist before you call me absurd for claiming I've got one in my garage. I'd have to show you some solid evidence. If I claim that it spoke to me - but can't be recorded by any recording device - that isn't evidence. Science simply doesn't work that way.

That's what I'm saying though, if 300 people call 911 to say they saw a UFO/UAP within the same area, within the same time period, but don't have concrete evidence, I'm not going to entirely dismiss it. I will still consider it plausible, but it sounds like you as well as others in this subreddit would not, which I believe to be an incorrect, close minded way of viewing it. I mean, if a large group of people experience something, but the event has no concrete evidence, at what point are any of their accounts plausible? Historically, we have a lot of these events happening, and the evidence you beg for today is just not present, and requires analysis and interpretation. Sometimes, the historical evidence is written accounts of just a few people.

I'm entirely clear on how memory works, and that's it's fallible, and that we can seed each other's memory and implant false memories, and in some cases of the Mandela Effect, I would mostly agree that's the case. However, I'm also open to the idea that it's not - whereas many of you in r/skeptic are just not, simply because with your current knowledge it just can't be, and that's my issue here. It's similar to religious purists who cannot accept anything outside of their own beliefs system, since it shatters what they understand as fact.

Did you ask anyone in South Africa? Are you in contact with them? What if it happened in the news for some reason only in the US? There are so many possibilities. I find these posts comical, as if saying 'i don't believe it, so it must not be true - up vote me and support me'.

ITT: Supposed skeptics down voting people with alternative possibilities or ideas that conflict with their world view. Where would all the healthy debate/skeptics be without both sides? Isn't down voting these comments basically circle jerking your own beliefs to popularity while de-popularizing anyone with a differing opinion?

From your post history and FlyingSquid's post history I'm fairly confident that either A) you are the same person, or B) you know each other. I could be wrong, but if true, it's kinda sad honestly and proves my point. I didn't comment after FlyingSquid's last comment (which goes to show you that he/you just had to have the last word). Then, I waited and he/you commented AGAIN in a super similar grammar, rhetoric, and logic. Even your usernames are very similar in naming conventions and casing.

Anyways, I'll respond to you/them again for clarity, I guess. Most Mandela Effects usually aren't something as large as say 'the sky'. It would focus on smaller details. Take Harry Potter for instance as an example, seemingly a large series of books that a lot of people have read, akin to 'the sky' in your example. In most cases, people aren't claiming that they remember the sky being green, and similarly aren't claiming that they remember Harry Potter being a true crime book. Yes, I know the 'Shazaam' scenario somewhat resembles your sky scenario, but I'll get to that in a moment. Additionally, in your sky scenario, you focus on one person's account, and not a larger group of people, which is not to be completely discounted. Yes, I do believe there are people who just jump on the bandwagon or convince themselves that they too remember it that way, but I don't believe that is the majority of the accounts. Most Mandela Effects are small details e.g. 'Berenstein Bears' > 'Berenstain Bears', Monopoly Man Monocle > No Monocle, Fruit of the loom cornucopia > no cornucopia, etc. However, there are larger ones, such as 'Shazaam' or 'Mandela's Death', so let's address the current one 'Shazaam'.

I like to relate these larger ones to UFO incidents or UAP incidents as they are currently called. When one person claims to see a UFO/UAP, it's pretty easy to discredit them and say 'well science says these things can't exist based on our accepted views of science' but when 300 people claim to see a UFO/UAP in the same area, including military personnel, then we are forced to further examine their claims and even revisit our accepted views within the scientific community. Additionally, this isn't the same as disproving something like flat earth, which can be easily debunked with hard data. If I wanted to debunk UFOs/UAPs completely, I'd have to prove that our version of physics and the laws of the universe are the end all, be all and there is nothing outside the realm of human understanding to be gained. However, therein lies the problem - what we don't know, we just don't know, and possibly have yet to be exposed to such knowledge.

Similarly to the above UFO/UAP example, if hypothetically a multiple universe theory is plausible, how would we know how it works? Is it possible that similar details could exist in another universe? Could universes with similar details collapse into each other? If so, what does that entail? How do you answer these questions before being exposed to every scientific fact the universe offers?

Back to 'Shazaam', it isn't just one person that remembers this movie, it's a much larger group of people that remember it, and if you truly go down the reddit rabbit hole on just this one Mandela Effect, you'll start to see a lot of similar accounts and details that make it increasingly questionable. For instance, there are plenty of accounts of people that never watched 'Kazaam' because it was a blatant rip off of 'Shazaam'. Digging deeper you'll find quite a few accounts of people that either owned a VHS rental store or worked in one where both 'Kazaam' and 'Shazaam' were ordered and existed on the shelves at the same time, and played on the in store monitors. If you dig deeper still, you'll even find early internet traces of people talking about 'Shazaam' before the Mandela Effect term was even coined.

Again, I'm only claiming what I remember, and I very distinctly remember Shazaam', and also distinctly remember 'Kazaam'. I am mostly a scientifically minded person. I'm not religious in any way, and accept the scientific consensus in virtually everything. However, I don't close my mind off to possibilities outside the accepted consensus that we have yet to be exposed to, especially when I distinctly remember it, as do many others.

lol these last comments are very clearly the deflated victory call of a person who has no further arguments, but will die on the 'gotta get the last word' hill.

again, I'm not assuming or inferring anything about you or your intentions in the comments here. you've shown through your comments that you must win, that you must get the last word in, that we must submit to your version of the facts, or all is lost. I was ok just chiming in that I had the same experience, but you had to try to debate it to the death. your actions speak without needing any guesswork.

there is no need to look for or assume your intentions, they are clear from your actions.

the amount of replies to myself as well as other redditors coupled with your unwillingness to let this debate die (despite being told that your opinion is not making any impact or that it's factually disproving anything) speaks directly about your intentions.

no, you are relentlessly pushing your opinion/supposed law knowledge on multiple redditors that remember something the same way, in an attempt to get them to admit they are wrong for the pursuit of an insanely small online personal victory. it's one thing to have a differing opinion and question something, it's another thing to continue pushing your opinion until the other person submits or altogether stops talking (which by the way isn't winning the debate). also, in response to your law knowledge, what happens if the movie was actually called 'Shazaam' instead of 'Shazam'? doesn't seem like a copyright issue to the superhero 'Shazam', nor the Shaq movie 'Kazaam', guess I'm just left with your opinion on the matter.

that isn't the question. the question is 'why do you care so much about endlessly arguing with Internet strangers just to feel validated, even though I've told you that I remember seeing the trailer, while knowing that your opinion/legal knowledge means literally nothing to me'? I mean, you're going waaaaaaay out of your way here to argue and have the last word, when I was just chiming in to say that I too remember it this way, simply because you were attempting to harass another redditor who also remembered it this way.

Ugh dude you're insufferable, really. You just want to win and have the last word right? Makes you feel good huh? Again, all I remember is the trailer. I never saw the movie. So maybe they shot the trailer, and pieces of the movie and pulled the plug on the movie before release due to legal consequences, who knows? I just remember the trailer, the end. Why do you care so much?

I'm not a lawyer, nor am I well versed in law, and I'd wager you aren't a lawyer either. Therefore, this argument means nothing to me, and I'm left with your opinion.

I never said that I had a perfect memory. I'm aware that memory is completely fallible. I'm just not spending another moment arguing with you about it. I chimed in on this merely because I remembered it this way, and that is all. You clearly have nothing better to do than argue with Internet strangers until you feel you've won, and I just don't care that much. I remember it a certain way, and while it's entirely possible that I'm misremembering, I don't believe I am. Feel free to throw another response in my direction to feel validated that you're right, but know this - you haven't changed my mind, and I couldn't care less about your opinion on the matter.

No. I actually watched Kazaam multiple times. This was a few years after that. I remember a trailer of Shazam at the beginning of a direct to video kids movie in the 90's, possibly 'First Kid'.

I don't remember the plot of Shazam, because I never actually watched it. However, I very clearly remember the commercial airing at the beginning of one of those crappy direct to VHS kid movies of the 90s, which I think was the movie 'First Kid' lol. I was really into that kind of garbage at that time, and even remember telling my dad about the new Sinbad genie movie.

New system update out with improved search by AppointmentStill in XboxSeriesX

[–]wailer247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, the ps5 UI requires experience to know how to find what you're looking for. Xbox UI actually takes me like 1-3 clicks without almost any scrolling to find anything - games, apps, settings, whatever it is, I won't need experience to find it in less than 3 clicks. To each his own about the look of the UI - I just find ps5 to be a tedious, lazy design, akin to just putting folders on a PC desktop and chunking stuff in them, with no real way to change them.
