    I seem to remember a semi generic Thanksgiving decoration that they’d put up in grade school that was a cornucopia with a bunch of fruit coming out of it that definitely looked a lot like the FotL logo.

    I suspect the Mandala Effect is what happens when timelines/realities collapse/fold into one another. Us humans are bad are perceiving when these things happen because we simply wrap it in an SEP field and go about our lives, but sometimes little leftover details catch our attention.

      Yes. I absolutely believe this too. If there is a multiverse, it’s not so much about us switching realities but differences reconciling and merging.

      I don’t understand how. I remember learning about what one was from a fruit of the loom commercial. Then when my little sister saw that commercial she asked and I was excited to be able to explain it to her. Was it just this commercial?

        That’s literally the mandela effect. It’s collective false memory. All archives, including TV commercials do not have a cornucopia as the logo never had one. It’s the shaded brown leaves on versions of the logo that people misconstrued. Your brain can easily include a false detail or overwrite a visual memory with a reinforced false one.

          If you scroll down there is literally a fruit of the loom with the exact cornucopia i remembered. It looks like there were bootlegs running around in the time period I remember it. Case solved. Nelson Mandela is dead.

            Those are bootlegs though, with a logo design likely based on the collective misremembering. They certainly didn’t copy the real logo, as it objectively never had a cornucopia.

    the objects in mirror may be closer than they appear fucks with me. my family ran a junkyard, and as a child/teen, i was always hanging out within its borders and exploring old cars and trucks for treasure. that form of the phrase is burned in my memory. you’ll never convince me it wasn’t something that existed.

    i was taught to spell dilemma as dilemna too, but that may be explainable. it’s not like every old textbook from the 80s is on annasarchive.
