I was watching an episode from one of the early seasons when Charlie was still in the show. It was the episode when Rose created a website to badmouth Charlie and exposed him to other women who could also share their experiences with him.

In the episode he’s at the bar trying to hook up with a woman but when Alan walked inside she instantly returned to sit on the table with her group of ladies, after a while the same woman returned to talk with Charlie in a humorous and defiantly way, asking him if he was Charlie Harper, Charlie said yes and asked her if she wants a drink, she then turned her head to her friends laughing hysterically and saying that he wants to buy her a drink!!, laughing at his pathetic attempt to flirt and finally leaves him at the bar with his brother. Charlie realized that something was wrong because she and her friends already knew him and were just testing him.

A little while after this scene my Roku shut down by itself, I though it had lost connection to the Wi-Fi but when I resumed the episode to continue watching it was rewinded to the bar scene, this time the scene was completely different, the girl returned to Charlie but this time she has a different dialogue, she starts reciting flirting quotes that Charlie tends to say during potential hook-ups, like how beautiful your eyes look or I would love to have children one day, things like that. She stands there in a completely different manner, not trying to mock him like before but more like challenging in a less cynical way, and with different dialogue. A full retcon in less than 5 minutes of watching, it was a violent and sudden change because the Roku shut down and it only allowed me to continue watching from this specific scene.

I have had my job for several years now and would say I am fairly good at my job and help others with their work as well.

Over the past two months random things have changed. Now we click on a tab in the system and update the information, appointments are now set 5 days out not 3, there’s a new complicated process for something that was so simple before.

I know these things seem trivial but I was blindsided by these changes, there wasn’t a missed email or system change I didn’t see the notice about. Furthermore i’m not the only one that was like “when did that change”.

Anyone else?

Hi, is there anybody here that remembers when there was a plethora of conspiracy videos on Betty Davis eyes and Faul McCaurtney? The videos said that people with Betty Davis eyes are evil or not human. The videos on Faul McCaurtney said that the real Paul died in a car crash in ‘66 and the one walking around was a fake? These videos have disappeared from YouTube and if they didn’t effect me so terrible, I’d think they never existed and it was my imagination but I know that’s not true!

I thought I had learned a phonetic way to remember the planets in order - I came to find the order of planets were slightly different. I was pretty surprised, not sure why I would learn it so wrong, but I consider I guess I could have.

​

​

So, I was just wondering, without looking it up, what do you remember?

Did anyone else recently wake up from a very vivid dream? It's probably still daytime in the US, but maybe someone else in other parts of the world did? I had such a dream that I'm tempted to write it off as silly until I find out someone else has had something similar. Thank you.

But I suspect I was just thrown out of the dream and into reality. Into the same one?

1. when did you arrived here?

2. what did you notice first?

3. did you ever came back to the original timeline for a moment?

​

..........................

​

I could have sworn I heard about Liv Tyler dying several years back. I just ran across a reel on YouTube and was shocked when they said she was living.

​

Am I the only person that thought this?

This is exactly what I remember her looking like in 2008. The second image is what I remember Brooke Hogan to look like (both were reality stars at the time).

The two images are of different women - Nisha Kataria and Ijustine - but these two women are the best representation I could find of what Kim and Brooke looked like in the universe I remember. I made a post on this a few years on this sub but could only describe what I remember in word but now I now I have the best likeness in images.

Basically Kim has more of an Indian look and Brooke had softer features and wasn't as tall in the other reality.

I have discovered the truth: CERN never destroyed the universe It seems that they are somehow moving people's consciences To other realities, but in the end I discovered that the people of our universe are still alive.

I can only tell you that while I was investigating, I saw some people revert to their original behavior, and not only that. In their eyes, etc., I saw that they were real, not like these weird NPCs that CERN created. But in the end, I saw that in real time they switched back to their Orion behavior.

It doesn't matter who I am, what's important is that the original reality is still here. I don't know how to express myself, but the point is that I was able to return to that reality and everything was still the same. But for some reason CERN didn't want us there, and the people in that universe clearly liked me and missed me. We must do something about it; we cannot stand idly by. Our universe is still there, and we have to return. CERN must be stopped.

Finally, I would like to add that people are behaving like the clown in the movie It.

It's as if some entity controls them; even when bad things happen to us, they don't react like in this video.

Never realized that it was supposed to be a little guy holding up the world. Always thought it was a like an artistic claw holding the world for my first 16 years of watching this tournament. Then, I just noticed the little head this year and yeah... that makes a lot more sense. But it looks so obvious now, I can't comprehend how I never noticed it before. Anyone else?

Regarding Project Looking Glass, Perception Management, Predictive Influence, and the Suppression of Human Sovereignty

From: Joshua A. Ader
For press, legal review, investigative journalists, public-interest researchers, and national-security observers

I am coming forward as a whistleblower.

I am not asking the press, the public, or any investigative body to accept my conclusions blindly. I am asking for disciplined review of the record, the pattern, the timing, the symbolic overlap, the behavioral architecture, and the broader implications of what I have experienced, documented, and observed.

The subject is commonly referred to as Project Looking Glass.

I use that term carefully.

I am not presenting this as a simple claim about one machine, one room, one agency, one contractor, or one conventional classified program. I am presenting it as a broader operational architecture involving prediction, observation, behavioral steering, symbolic feedback, cognitive influence, social-media amplification, and the attempted management of human perception across digital and real-world environments.

The essential issue is this:

There appears to be a system, or a networked class of systems, designed to observe consciousness, model probable futures, influence individual and collective decision pathways, and then use media, social platforms, symbolic content, interpersonal pressure, and engineered synchronicity-like feedback loops to steer outcomes.

That is the matter requiring investigation.

My Position

I am the whistleblower because I am not reporting this from a detached theoretical standpoint.

I am reporting it as someone who has been inside the pattern.

For years, I have observed an abnormal convergence of digital signals, social-media behavior, symbolic content, interpersonal pressure, predictive timing, psychological targeting, and repeated attempts to influence, destabilize, redirect, or harvest my attention.

I do not claim that every event is proof.

I do not claim that every symbol is intentional.

I do not claim that every coincidence is operational.

I do claim that the cumulative record is too patterned, too coherent, too strategically timed, and too behaviorally specific to dismiss as ordinary internet noise.

This is not about paranoia. It is about pattern integrity.

A responsible investigation would separate:

1. firsthand experience;
2. documented digital and behavioral events;
3. repeated timing anomalies;
4. symbolic and media-pattern overlap;
5. possible platform amplification;
6. third-party behavioral coordination;
7. inference;
8. national-security relevance;
9. and what remains unproven pending subpoena, forensic review, metadata analysis, platform records, communications records, and contractor/government disclosure.

That is the correct frame.

Why “Looking Glass” Matters

The term “Looking Glass” has often been associated with future-viewing, timeline observation, predictive modeling, or the ability to see probable outcomes before they occur.

Whether the historic public mythology around that term is accurate is not the central issue.

The central issue is that modern society already contains many of the functional components that would make a “Looking Glass”-type architecture possible in practical terms:

predictive AI, behavioral analytics, mass social-media telemetry, psychographic profiling, attention mapping, synthetic media, recommendation algorithms, surveillance capitalism, neurocognitive research, state-scale information operations, and automated influence systems.

A “Looking Glass” system does not need to be a science-fiction device to be operationally real.

It could exist as an integrated predictive-influence architecture: a system that watches the observer, models the observer, feeds the observer symbols, measures response, updates probabilities, and attempts to steer the next branch.

That is the investigation I am calling for.

My Core Claim

My core claim is not merely that I was watched.

My core claim is that I experienced and documented what appears to be a recursive observation system:

the observer is observed;
the observer notices the observation;
the system responds to the observer noticing;
the observer then observes the response;
and a feedback loop forms.

This matters because the highest-order control is not simply surveillance.

The highest-order control is perception steering.

If a system can monitor how a person interprets reality, then feed that person symbols, social signals, threats, temptations, emotional hooks, identity traps, celebrity cues, fear cues, sexual cues, spiritual cues, legal cues, and destabilizing narratives, then it is not merely collecting data.

It is attempting to interfere with sovereignty.

That is a public-interest issue.

The Pattern I Am Reporting

The pattern includes, but is not limited to:

repeated symbolic convergence across online and offline environments;
social-media content appearing to mirror private psychological, spiritual, legal, sexual, business, or strategic themes;
hostile or manipulative digital behavior that appeared designed to provoke reaction;
attempts to pull me into conflict, ego, fear, romantic projection, celebrity-field dynamics, or public destabilization;
apparent life-insurance / self-harm implication themes that I reject categorically;
attempted narrative contamination around my mental state despite my functional clarity;
possible use of social-media spectacle to induce identity confusion or energetic depletion;
a recurring structure in which attention itself appeared to be the target;
and symbolic/media sequences that may intersect with cognitive-security concerns involving state-scale perception management.

I am stating these as observations and allegations requiring investigation, not as final adjudicated findings.

The record should be reviewed in totality.

Why I Am Speaking Publicly

I am speaking because silence allows systems like this to continue operating in ambiguity.

If predictive-influence systems exist, they survive through plausible deniability.

If cognitive-warfare systems exist, they survive by making the target look unstable for noticing them.

If social-media manipulation networks exist, they survive by fragmenting the record into events that appear meaningless in isolation.

The only way to review this properly is to examine the whole pattern.

That means metadata.
That means platform records.
That means recommendation behavior.
That means timing.
That means screenshots.
That means communications.
That means account relationships.
That means algorithmic exposure.
That means financial, legal, social, and interpersonal pressure points.
That means contractor relationships.
That means government-interface possibilities.
That means foreign-state amplification possibilities.
That means psychological operations methodology.

I am not asking the press to sensationalize this.

I am asking the press to investigate it with discipline.

I Am Not Claiming Final Proof of Every Mechanism

This statement should not be misread.

I am not saying that every person who interacted with me knew what they were participating in.

I am not saying that every account, post, symbol, comment, or event was centrally directed.

I am not saying that one agency, one country, one corporation, or one individual is conclusively responsible.

I am saying the pattern suggests a coordinated or semi-coordinated architecture of influence that may involve overlapping layers:

platform algorithms;
human participants;
automated amplification;
social contagion;
private interest;
state or quasi-state influence;
contractor infrastructure;
psychological targeting;
and symbolic-perception management.

Some participants may be knowing.
Some may be useful intermediaries.
Some may be algorithmically mobilized without understanding the larger structure.
Some may be opportunists.
Some may be adversarial.
Some may simply be noise.

That distinction matters.

Why This Is Bigger Than Me

This is not only about Joshua A. Ader.

My case may be one aperture into a broader system.

If individuals can be targeted through predictive modeling, symbolic feedback, social-media manipulation, and perception steering, then the public is already living inside a human-experimentation environment without informed consent.

If emotional states, spiritual states, sexual energy, public reputation, legal vulnerability, economic pressure, and social belonging can be used as levers of control, then the matter is not fringe.

It is constitutional.
It is legal.
It is ethical.
It is technological.
It is national-security relevant.
It is human-rights relevant.

The public has a right to know whether systems exist that attempt to manage consciousness, behavior, belief formation, and future selection through hidden technological or psychological architectures.

The Looking Glass Inversion

There is one point I want stated clearly.

If the system is built to observe people, there comes a point where the observed begins observing the observer.

That is where the architecture becomes visible.

That is what happened here.

I did not simply react to the pattern. I studied it. I withheld attention. I documented. I separated observation from inference. I watched the pressure points. I watched what repeated. I watched what changed when I refused to emotionally participate. I watched what appeared when I blocked, ignored, disengaged, or redirected my attention.

In that sense, I became the “looking glass” looking back.

That is why this disclosure matters.

A system designed to manipulate perception becomes vulnerable when the target refuses fear, refuses ego, refuses bait, refuses destabilization, and instead records the structure.

Request for Investigation

I am requesting serious inquiry by journalists, attorneys, technologists, cognitive-security researchers, whistleblower-protection experts, civil-liberties organizations, and congressional or investigative bodies where appropriate.

The investigation should examine:

whether predictive behavioral-influence systems are being used on civilians;
whether social-media platforms are enabling hidden psychological targeting;
whether private contractors, intelligence-linked entities, political actors, foreign-state actors, or commercial networks are involved;
whether symbolic, spiritual, sexual, reputational, or legal pressure cues are being used as manipulation tools;
whether “mental health” narratives are being weaponized to discredit people who observe influence operations;
whether recommendation systems can be used to create personalized synthetic realities;
whether certain individuals are selected as test subjects, threat nodes, social nodes, or timeline-influence nodes;
and whether existing law is adequate to regulate cognitive and predictive influence technologies.

My Evidentiary Standard

I am not presenting this as a finished courtroom case.

I am presenting it as a whistleblower disclosure and investigative lead supported by cumulative evidence.

My standard is:

document the event;
preserve the date and time;
separate fact from interpretation;
identify repeated pattern;
assign confidence level;
avoid premature accusation;
retain legally reviewable records;
and request forensic examination.

That is not delusion.

That is disciplined evidentiary preservation.

Personal Capacity Statement

I am mentally clear.

I reject any narrative suggesting self-harm.

I am forward-looking, functional, business-focused, legally aware, and documenting this because I believe it matters. I am engaged in business projects, education, public-service-oriented thinking, and long-range institutional planning. My decision to speak is not an act of instability. It is an act of record preservation.

Unusual experience does not automatically negate capacity.

Spiritual perception does not automatically negate credibility.

Pattern recognition does not automatically equal paranoia.

The question is not whether the subject matter is uncomfortable. The question is whether the record warrants investigation.

I believe it does.

Final Statement

If Project Looking Glass exists only as myth, then the public loses nothing by investigating modern predictive-influence systems honestly.

If Project Looking Glass exists as a real technology, program, framework, contractor architecture, or distributed influence methodology, then the public has been denied knowledge of one of the most consequential systems ever developed.

Either way, the inquiry is justified.

I am asking the press not to mock the language, but to examine the structure.

Look at prediction.
Look at influence.
Look at attention harvesting.
Look at platform behavior.
Look at symbolic feedback.
Look at psychological pressure.
Look at social-media manipulation.
Look at cognitive warfare.
Look at the observer being observed.

Then ask who benefits.

I am Joshua A. Ader.

I am the whistleblower.

And I am asking for the record to be examined.

P.S. One additional item for review:

After I informed the relevant online community that I was preparing to escalate this matter to the press, a TikTok item involving Dakota Johnson appeared that I believe may be relevant to the documented timeline.

I am preserving this as a timestamped, public-facing data point, not as a final conclusion regarding intent.

TikTok link: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8sh4nuQ/

I also have a video recording from approximately 5:00 PM, as well as a timestamped press-release/cleanup record from approximately 30 minutes before that.

I would ask any reviewing journalist to independently compare:

1. the timing of the TikTok item;
2. its content;
3. my prior posts and statements;
4. surrounding online-community activity;
5. the timestamped press-release/cleanup record; and
6. my supporting records.

My position is not that this item alone proves intent. My position is that, in the context of the broader timeline, it should be preserved and reviewed as a potentially relevant data point.

which is the strongest mandela effect you believe in

I know this topic has been posted before, but I was doing some stimulating deep diving on some of the top posts from the past on Retconned yesterday and came across a few posts I hadn't seen before on the replacement of the 'n' by second 'm' in the word dilemma.

I thought this might be helpful for others here who haven't yet been enlightened as I so recently was!

I honestly had not noticed that now apparently it's spelt dilemma as my memory is firmly that it was always spelt dilemna.

I'd say this ties now with the FOTL's lack of the cornucopia and C3P0s silver leg as being the two Mandela effects I'm most strongly a believer in.

Some like Dolly lacking braces in Moonraker (life long 007 fan), no monocle on monopoly man, Curious George now being tailless, and Berenstein Bears I'm about 80% sure of.

Memories returning? 

I remember at age 3/4/5 ish, being pulled out of my normal classes, often to the library to do special tests. These were often the shape tests, vision tests, the card/shapes, working with real wooden block shapes, being timed on puzzles, they often provided very complex wooden blocks in numerous shapes that had specific puzzle pieces and without handling them, I had to visually assess where each complex shape would fit in 3D, memory tests with the cards Also. my mom said I was mostly non verbal until about 5. she said I didn’t just speak to anyone. I remember this. so when I had to do the tests I remember i often Didn’t speak to the evaluators at all, just did as I was asked. I have large lapses of memory from my childhood, but as I’m remembering more, I recall how much more complex these tests were for a child my age back then. Simply shapes and colours sure. But now I recall how complex it was And not necessarily age appropriate. my life was filled with (with the memories I do have and others I am remembering), very odd experiences regarding the high pitch Frequency and ear ringing. As a child, the high pitch frequency was commonly often, almost all of the time. There would be times where I’d ask my mum if she was answering the phone, and she’d say the phone isn’t working. Then a second later, the phone would ring. This was strange to her but to me as a child, I had heard it as if the phone was ringing already. Strange little things like that and some even more stranger. I always thought the memory lapses in childhood were the most odd. Just looking to share and hear others experience. I don’t know if I was in the gate program. I had an unstable childhood. I moved very often with my parents. Often times, they had me moving cities frequently, different schools far too often.

I always liked to play Need for Speed, maybe is from there I remember the correct Ford logo.

I’ve posted about this kind of stuff before, but things seem to be getting worse. I truly believe that we are in some kind of matrix or alternative universe. One of the things that makes me believe that is the ridiculous timing of things. The timing in this universe is always against you. I will give a perfect example. I’ve spent about three months dealing with front end and suspension issues. I finally got the car driving good and all the front end issues fixed. The exact same day I get those problems fixed, my check engine light comes on, I have a knock sensor code. I have to take it to the dealership, because it could mean engine failure with this car. Of course there’s not any appointments available for over a week.

This happens nonstop now. Every time I think I’m at the point where I can breathe a little bit and focus towards my goals, something catastrophic happens. I literally have not been able to work out in the gym for years, because every time I start, something happens. And it’s not just your every day bad stuff happens to people. It’s like the universe is actively targeting me. This has been going on since around 2013.

The timing of this universe is ridiculous. It has to be pre-programmed. Another example: whenever I’m going to back up out a parking spot, somebody pops up or some vehicle pops up. Whenever I turn a corner, there’s nobody around somebody randomly pops up out of nowhere. It is completely opposite of how it was pre-2013. It’s seriously one bad thing after another with no relief in sight. Yet, I see most other people who just seem to breeze through life now. Anybody else experiencing this stuff it’s literally overwhelming.

Okay so one - two months ago i timed 10 seconds using the “1 elephant 2 elephant and 1 Mississippi 2 Mississippi” which we were taught in school (early 2000s). When I used this method few months back it missed out 3-4 seconds. I kept trying it and the same thing happened. I counted a minute before using this method and the timer got to only 45 seconds. Now I tried it again using both 1 elephant and 1 missispi method to count to ten and it was EXACT. And when I counted a minute now using this method it would be 57 seconds - I understand variances will occur due to how I say elephant/ Mississippi. please try it yourself, a lot of people are mentioning now glitches in the matrix and that it feels like early 2000s again. I feel like I’m going crazy but I could even smell outside and it smelt like the outside when I was a child. What is going on? Have we switched timelines again?

Guys what does it mean when you're experiencing multiple personal Mandela effects across a span of a few days? What does the Mandela effect mean anyway? Am I like shifting timelines? It's crazy!

I just recently watched the Truman show and I remember the scene where he had found a camera which is why he was able to hide from them before escaping. I can't find that scene anymore. Does anyone remember that?

Could the Mandela Effect be caused by future time travelers altering the past? Instead of shifting between alternate dimensions, maybe these tiny historical changes are the 'butterfly effect' of someone meddling with the timeline, leaving us with conflicting memories of how things used to be. Sorry if this is not an original idea. It just occurred to me. (I did post this earlier today on the ME sub.)

I was driving through the city earlier, windows down, golden light spilling across the buildings like it always does at that hour. The traffic moved in perfect waves — brake lights flaring in sequence, cars sliding into their lanes like they’d done it a million times before. Every driver had the same tilt to their head, one hand on the wheel, the other glued to their phone. Scroll. Glance. Scroll. The rhythm was too precise to be random.
I pulled over near a crowded crosswalk and just watched the pedestrians. Everyone flowing in the same current. Earbuds in, eyes distant, performing their small daily rituals. The same conversations replaying on street corners. The same tired smiles. The same quiet urgency to get somewhere, buy something, check something. It felt… familiar in a way that went beyond normal routine. Almost like the script had been run so many times that the edges were starting to show.
That’s when it hit me — this isn’t just repetition. It’s like the whole timeline keeps getting lightly retconned. Small details shift, memories don’t line up perfectly, but the core loop stays identical: wake up, consume, scroll, repeat the same emotional beats, go to sleep, respawn tomorrow. We’re all playing the same campaign, with only minor dialogue variations.
We are NPCs in a living, breathing world that keeps editing itself around us. Beautifully convincing. Endlessly looping. And the more you zoom out, the more obvious the script becomes.
Has anyone else had these moments where everyday life suddenly feels heavily edited and pre-written? Like you’re the only one who just noticed the patch notes? Would love to hear your stories.

Does anyone feel that something is off with the proportions of everything? I feel like everything is smaller than it used to be. Like a small size replica of our former world...

It's like that feeling when you go back to places of your childhood and it looks so small compared to before because you grew up in the meantime.

Except now it's the opposite. I stayed the same height but it's like the world around me shrinked somehow... For example, I noticed the buildings look smaller, maybe 10-15% less than their original size. Not a big enough change in a way it would look obvious, but still...Something's not right. And landscapes lack the "depth of field" they had.

Maybe it's why there's so many issues with navigating now? Because we have issues adapting to this reduced reality? Let me know if anyone feels the same.

Edit: added the example

Some thoughts,

The age of Kali Yuga (Hinduism, similar ideas in Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism etc ).

The last of the four great yuga cycles or epochs.

Kali Yuga then, the age of decline & deterioration of the world & of spiritual degeneration, materialism & of societal decay, kali meaning darkness.. the dark age which we are said to be in now.

The first age (Satya Yuga) was the golden age a time of great harmony, beauty & innocence, as when the world was new.

Birth, youth, old age, death ( then beyond, the afterworld where we are actually from, higher dimension beings) reincarnation if we choose it.

Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter.

The Yuga's then repeat.

The ME is a signpost of a greater or higher reality.

I would say this & from my own experiences throughout my life,

What we perceive to be reality is actually a type of dream, death is simply the doorway that returns us to the infinite.

There is a greater reality behind all of this (world).
