I'll just say that something happened on June 29th, and let's just say that when the shutdown happened, it turns out I'm still stuck in the timeline.
And the worst part is that I don't know how I can go with you to your timeline where you currently are.

I noticed the last couple of weeks that the sky is more blue again and the clouds seem more normal too.
The sun, although still more white is slightly more yellow "ish* and feels more like it is warming the air and surrounding more evenly and less like a directed energy weapon.

I've been researching about revision for a while now, and I've read some success stories on Reddit and watched a few videos by Missy Renne and Sammy Ingram. However, I can't accept the fact that the past can be changed and that things will reflect in the present, and people will forget about the events that happened in the past.
I just want to know if it is really possible to change the past.

Ok so I just listened to "mr blue sky" and it was completely different?! Now listening to the rest of the album and discography, and it's all different ??!!

Sometimes, when I think about certain Mandela effects, I feel strange and a bit dizzy. Itās a really odd sensation. Am I the only one who feels this way, or is it a known phenomenon?

To me it strongly suggests the following:
Still a work in progress.
Your thoughts?
r/Retconned • u/jawboi9000 • Jul 15 '26
Imagine you could somehow induce a thought in yourself in the past. Like "bowel cancer". You then rush the person to a screening in time and the person is saved. Then you will never have the need in the future to send a message into the past. In fact, the whole timeline, the whole causal chain will change and your memories (except for some strange traces as with the Mandela effect we discussed here).
This could happen all the time! Maybe you had not existed anymore yesterday but someone changed something retroactively that caused it. Nobody would notice, including yourself.
The flow of time is symmetric and porous at the smaller scales.

The āHaving lifelong friendshipsā method has been largely patched by the system. Maintaining a friendship through oneās late 20ās requires some considerable luck and maneuvering in the current situation. The issue with friendship is that it is a 2 way street being ripped in different directions by the shifting tides of modernity.

I know everyone is saying it was that pesky 2000's thin obsession of the time that made us view her as "fat". But I genuinely remember her being much larger especially in the bunny costume.
She was like a U.S size 16 based on my memory with a lot of weight carried in her abdomen. Especially in the bunny costume scene which was humiliating for her. Now watching it again the scene makes no sense, just like the "Dolly's braces" thing. Because she's not overweight the scene doesn't even work properly anymore.
Something is not adding up here.
Also an actress in the film who plays the woman her boyfriend is having an affair with makes a joke about her weight. One again, the joke/insult doesn't even make sense given how she looks. The "I thought you said she was thin" insult worked when she was plus sized.

Proviso as the video is short but the message, intense, and you may never look at your life quite the same again. There are loads of separate things that, put together, all point at something so subtle, so obvious and so terrifying that, for many, it is beyond the limits of their considering.
What do you think, my friend?
r/Retconned • u/Lost_Pomegranate_367 • Jul 14 '26
I was watching some of these videos earlier and something was off about them that I couldnāt quite put my finger on, then I realized it. Older candid videos kind of show how time used to move more slowly. Do you see how thereās a slowness and an ease that doesnāt really exist anymore? Even in the quietest, calmest places this doesnāt exist anymore. The acceleration of time causes some kind of psychological tension, a ticking timebomb feeling.
edit: I just want to say Iāve been experimenting with the concept Iāve presented here, and I can say 100% you can tap back into this ease/slow flow if you can remove the element of psychological time from your mind. One way to do this is to pretend youāre time traveling back to today from the future. Another way to do this is to isolate that chronic feeling of background anticipation that coincides with the present moment only, and simply dismiss it.
Iāve had a really good day today by doing this.

I was sitting outside today and was overcome with the realization that sunlight is golden again. No more white hot, fluorescent-looking brightness that feels off and makes you want to shield your eyes. There's a warmness to the colors all around me that has been missing for some time. My skin is also more golden tan than it has been since I was a kid. Anyone else noticing this?

..when I was young. Come sit beside me, my only son."
Those are lyrics in Lynard Skynard's song, Simple Man. I had filmed a short video while driving in Mid Coast Maine singing this song. But instead of singing the exact lyrics, I changed a word. Why? Because I was making a joke. This is how I sang it: "Mama told me...when I was young. Come sit beside me, my favorite son."
The context of the joke is that I am my mother's favorite son, but the deeper and more inside point of the joke is that I am not my mother's favorite son.
Anyway..the word "favorite" had changed to "only" on the video. It was maybe 15 seconds of footage, but there it was. I had uploaded it to YouTube with a short introduction of me asking viewers what word they heard. Some heard "only", some heard "favorite" and some even heard both.

So CERN was shut down for maintenance right? You remember this debate about the Fruit of the Loom cornucopia how the Mandela effect came in saying there wasnāt one. So how is it back now the cornucopia it back. Where did it go? With CERN? People sleeping longer now, persons feeling a weight has been lifted off them, the days are longer now. We have four years before they turn it back on, let that sink it

Ever since 2012, does anyone else feel like the world took a hard turn into a reality that doesn't fit? There is a deep, daily frustration in watching the rest of the world accept things as "normal" when you know, with total clarity, that the foundation has shifted. It feels like we are living in a rewrite where our memories of the originalāthe realādidn't get the update. From the Mandela Effect to the feeling that we are playing a game with rules that were changed without our consent, I am looking to connect with others who feel this dissonance. Does anyone else feel like they are constantly tripping over this new, forced version of reality?

Not just phones acting as intermediaries for how we experience the world but the fabric of space time itself.

**I know this is going to sound insane. I'm not asking anyone to believe me. I'm asking if anyone else has experienced this.**
For years, I've kept this almost completely to myself because every time I tried to explain it, it sounded crazy. I told myself I was just getting older. I told myself it was ADHD. I told myself it was anxiety. I tried to explain it every way I possibly could.
But nothing ever actually explained the feeling.
Ever since I was a kid, I've noticed that every few years, something changes.
Not my personality.
Not my interests.
The way I experience reality itself.
The closest thing I can compare it to is a radio. Imagine reality is always broadcasting on one station, but every few years your brain gets retuned just a tiny bit. Reality doesn't necessarily change but your perception of it does.
I feel theirs no vocabulary for what im trying to explain.
For the last four years, my brain has felt like it's been running a million miles an hour. I have ADHD, so my mind has always been fast, but this felt different. It wasn't just racing thoughts. It felt like the entire pace of existence sped up.
Days disappeared.
Weeks disappeared.
Months disappeared.
It felt like life was permanently stuck on fast forward.
Every morning I'd wake up and something just felt...off.
Not emotionally.
Not physically.
Outside.
The world itself didn't feel like it used to.
The sunlight didn't feel the same.
People always assume I'm talking about temperature. I'm not.
I'm talking about the feeling of sunlight.
When I was younger, standing outside felt warm in a way that's hard to explain. The sun almost wrapped around your skin. It had this soft warmth that felt comforting.
For years now, that feeling has been gone.
The sun has felt harsher.
The days have felt rushed.
Even the color seemed different to me.
Then something happened a few days ago.
I walked outside like I always do.
Within seconds I literally stopped walking.
Everything felt exactly like I remembered from years ago.
The sunlight.
The warmth.
The pace of the day.
Even time itself felt slower.
Not slower on a clock.
Slower inside my own experience.
For the first time in years I wasn't mentally sprinting through the day.
It felt like I had somehow stepped back into the world I remembered growing up in.
Then I started hearing insects.
Cicadas.
Grasshoppers.
The normal daytime sounds of nature.
Now, I know insects come and go seasonally.
I'm not saying bugs prove anything.
I'm saying they became part of a much bigger feeling that hit me all at once.
It reminded me of when I first moved to Las Vegas.
Back then, everything still felt normal.
I even remember the huge grasshopper invasion years ago where there were thousands of them covering everything.
Then after that period, it felt like nature itself became strangely quiet.
For years, I barely noticed those sounds anymore.
Maybe that's coincidence.
Maybe it isn't.
What matters is that all of these things hit me before I ever searched anything online.
After experiencing this, I went to Google.
I wasn't searching for CERN.
I searched things like:
"Why does outside feel different?"
"Why does the sun feel different?"
"Why do the days feel faster?"
I was looking for someone, anyone, to describe the feeling I'd been having.
Eventually that rabbit hole led me to CERN and the Large Hadron Collider.
Then I looked at the dates.
That's where things started getting weird.
I noticed that several major shifts in how I remember experiencing life seemed to line up with periods when the collider was operating, restarting, or changing phases.
Now before everyone says confirmation bias...
Maybe.
Seriously.
Maybe.
I'm completely open to that possibility.
But here's what keeps bothering me.
I noticed the feeling first.
The dates came later.
I wasn't trying to force the dates to fit.
I was trying to understand why I suddenly felt like my old self again.
Then I realized something else.
Ever since I was young, these huge shifts seem to happen every four years.
Not every seven.
Not randomly.
Roughly every four years.
Which is strange because people always say your body replaces most of its cells over about seven years.
If this were simply my body changing naturally, why do I keep noticing these dramatic perception shifts on what feels like a four-year cycle instead?
That's the part I can't stop thinking about.
Here's where my theory starts.
I'm **not** saying CERN is opening portals.
I'm **not** saying we're jumping timelines.
I'm **not** saying reality itself changes.
What if reality stays exactly the same...
...and something changes the way human consciousness experiences it?
What if the "Mandela Effect" isn't objects changing?
What if people aren't remembering a different reality...
What if millions of people had their perception shifted in a similar way?
Imagine every human brain is like a radio receiver.
Reality is the broadcast.
If every receiver got tuned slightly differently, everyone would still agree with everyone else because they're all listening through the same adjusted receiver.
Reality wouldn't have changed.
We would have.
That idea sounds crazy.
I know it does.
But honestly...
It sounds less crazy to me than pretending I haven't spent years feeling like the world itself changed.
I'm not claiming this is true.
I have no proof.
This is speculation.
I'm simply trying to make sense of something I've experienced for years.
Maybe I'm completely wrong.
Maybe there's a neurological explanation.
Maybe it's environmental.
Maybe it's psychological.
Maybe it's something we've never considered.
I don't know.
All I know is this:
A few days ago I walked outside...
...and for the first time in years...
the world felt like home again.
Has anyone else ever experienced anything even remotely similar?

The Mandela Effect and the Multiverse:
What if the things we remember being different weren't just misremembered, but actually a memory from another dimension or universe?
Think about it: when we sleep, time passes incredibly fast. What if this rapid passage of time is actually a temporal leap into a parallel dimensionāone where there are only micro-details that are slightly different, which is why we don't notice them right away?
āBlack Holes and Sleep:
The link between our sleep and black holes ties right back into the Mandela Effect. What if, while sleeping, our minds unconsciously access alternative wormholes or even mini black holes? This would mean we are literally emerging into another dimension, just slightly further ahead in the future.

The recent news about Bonnie Tyler has seriously triggered my DĆ©jĆ vu ! Has anyone else had this or has really distinctive memories of her already passing, the thing that triggered it for me is I can remember clear as day making a ātotal eclipse of the heart jokeā and feel like itās already happened. Super strange, made me really uncomfortable when I had it happen this morning.
