10 False Memories Everyone Believes

ten false memories everyone believes number ten Nelson Mandela Nelson Mandela did some undeniably great things in his life but his resume gets even more impressive when you add time warping don't mention traveler to the bottom in 1964 Mandela was thrown in jail and to lots of people that's where the story ends you see a stunning number of people claiming to distinctly remember Nelson Mandela dying in the 80s while still in jail even more unbelievably there are people who claim to have strong memories of Mandela's funeral and even remember rioting occurring afterwards spoiler alert Mandela didn't die in jail he left jail in 1988 and kept right on being alive until 2013 although to be fair to people it's not like Mandela did much after leaving jail like becoming the president of South Africa or winning a Nobel Peace Prize or anything despite how odd it sounds the delusion about Mandela's death is so popular it spawned its own conspiracy theory the Mandela effect some channel called all-time conspiracies even did a video on it according to the theories founder Fiona Broome people are constantly sliding between parallel universes as they travel they carry over memories from different worlds with them yep there is actually a whole theory devoted to saying no I'm not wrong it's the universe that's wrong number 9 brands remember that great old show Looney Tunes we used to watch it while chucking chick-fil-a jiffy peanut butter or Froot Loops down our food holes well actually we used to have Jif peanut butter fruit loops and chick-fil-a and that show we watch was called Looney Tunes these are just a few of the countless iconic brands that huge numbers of people seem to misremember others include for breeze with two E's The Flintstones without a tea and even McDonald's with an A the most likely explanation is that childhood memories are incredibly unreliable studies have repeatedly shown that things remembered from our earliest years are often wildly inaccurate one study even proved that completely made-up memories can be implanted tricking subjects into believing that they've been in a hot air balloon as a kid when they never had with our childhood memories already so frail and a few more important things to worry about it's hardly surprising that plenty of people add a hyphen to kick at number eight Neil Armstrong the culmination of years of interstellar dick-measuring between America and the USSR the moon landing remains one of humanity's greatest achievements planting a man onto a rock in space became a world-changing statement about humanity's place in the universe and what does history remember Neil Armstrong the man given the monumental honor of being the first person on the moon doing as soon as he stepped out of his pod screwing up instead of announcing that's one small step for a man one giant leap for mankind Armstrong said that's one small step for man so Neil got the line wrong and gaffed in front of millions of people right well maybe not Armstrong maintains that he did say for a man he blames the fact that people didn't hear it on his Midwestern accent the noisy radio link and the fact that landing a rocket ship tends to take priority over clear diction what's more in 2006 a computer programmer ran Armstrong's audio through a spectrogram designed to make disabled people's speech easier to understand and to most people surprised the machine did detect a sound spike in between four and man number seven Sinbad movie from good burger to jingle all the way Sinbad has appeared in some pretty average films in fact he was literally in a film called that's adequate his filmography is so men that his most beloved film doesn't even exist in recent years the internet has become obsessed with a film called Shazam a family comedy in which Sinbad plays a magical genie there's only one problem it's not real despite fake video boxes and posters being made online Sinbad denies the film's existence and there's no evidence to suggest the actor ever appeared in any movies with genies the reality is that people are confusing Sinbad with Shaquille O'Neal Shaq did make a film in the 90s called Kazaam in which he plays a genie sari in which he plays a rapping genie with an attitude who's ready for slam dunk fun which we all agree is the best kind of genie this slight similarity has convinced huge sways of the internet into believing in a movie that never existed number six Humpty Dumpty we all know the story of hunty Dumpty some cocky egg starts sitting around on wolves like he owns the place but gravity isn't having any of it and pip slapped Humpty to the ground this simple tale has inspired countless adaptations includes ones where Humpty hangs out with giant chickens rides rats and stars in a stranger danger ad but the famous slapstick shell was never supposed to be an egg at all according to nursery rhyme historians and yes that's a real job that people do Humpty Dumpty is actually meant to be a cannon and not even a wacky talking cannon that plays a banjo in 1648 in Britain an army of pro monarchy Royalists were under siege from the anti-monarchy parliamentarians at Saint Mary on the wall a cannon shot from team Parliament knocked the royalist largest cannon nicknamed Humpty Dumpty off the castle wall despite the royalist efforts to move the cannon Humpty Dumpty was too heavy and so all the king's men couldn't put Humpty Dumpty back together again though some dismissed this idea as a hoax historian Albert Jack claims to have uncovered proof of a preceding verse about a gunner that proves the true meaning of the verse number 5 inception sound anyone who's seen inception will remember this sound yes when Christopher Nolan made his film about the wolf of Wall Street stealing people's dreams or whatever he didn't just create another movie he also gave the world the infamous it's since been used in trailers for Prometheus the Avengers GI Joe - battleship Tron Legacy and wrath of the Titans basically if the film has robots aliens or superheroes fighting it's got the inception horn but here's the thing everyone's favorite foghorn noise never actually appeared in Inception sure the trailer is full of it but the movie itself is completely horn free what's more inception didn't even invent the sound it's very clearly used in the advert for district 9 which predates inception by about a year it could even be argued that the horn blasts originally makes an appearance in the first Transformers trailer yet that sound Hollywood keeps shoving down your eardrums isn't from an innovative groundbreaking nolan film but a dumb robot punch him up son of a number four kidneys this is a bit of a weird one but your kidneys aren't where you think they are you might think that it would be hard for people to lose track of something like a kidney after all it's not exactly going anywhere yet there is still mass confusion as to where the to life-saving little organs are many people believe that the kidneys are located low down on the back of the body somewhere just above the hip but that's just what Big Pharma wants you to think in fact your kidneys are much higher than that they're actually just under the heart in the upper abdominal area some conspiracy theorists blame this kidney migration on the same interworld slippage that makes the incredible dimension-hopping Nelson Mandela so hard to pin down but a more plausible explanation is that old medical charts were just inaccurately drawn or the kidney troubles often caused pain in the lower back which makes people assume they must be their number 3 Bologna I should probably warn you this entries not as much fun as made-up genie films or Humpty Dumpty conspiracy theories on August the 2nd 1980 Bologna train station in Italy was hit by a terrorist explosion the bomb which was planted by neo-fascist terrorists killed 85 people making it the fourth deadliest terror attack in Western Europe the bombing also severely damaged the station including breaking its iconic clock although the clock was fixed city authorities decided in 1996 to stop the clock as a symbolic memorial to those who lost their lives in the terror strike 16 years earlier this is where the story turns from horrifying to weird you see in 2010 a group of Scottish psychologists decided to perform a study in which they asked locals when the clock had been stopped to their surprise the psychologists found that 92 percent of locals incorrectly thought the clock had never been restarted after the attack that number alone is surprising but it becomes shocking when you know that several of the railways own staff remembered the clock never being restarted that's despite seeing the working clock every day for 16 years number 2 film quotes I hate to tell you this but that Star Trek quote you love to repeat at parties is probably wrong also stop saying Star Trek quotes at parties your friends all think it's kind of weird the point is that most of the iconic quo people like to take from movies and TV are remembered wrong in fact let's put 30 seconds on the clock and do a speed round no one says play again salmon Casablanca it's know I am your father not Luke I am your father Clint Eastwood never said do you feel lucky punk and Dirty Harry it's not mirror mirror on the wall it's magic mirror Sherlock Holmes never said elementary my dear Watson and no matter how many times you repeat it no one says beam me up Scotty in Star Trek the reason is simple enough most quotes need tweaking or condensing to make sense outside of the film after all greed is good is a better quote than greed for lack of a better word is good over time these tighten quotes become confused for the real thing and we all start saying the wrong lines number one Tiananmen Square Google Tiananmen Square and you'll get images of one of the world's most iconic protests that's unless you live in China in which case you'll get put on a government watch list regardless on the 4th of June 1989 Tiananmen Square was flooded with students protesting government suppression of free expression unsurprisingly the government wasn't too happy and responded by suppressing free expression trying to send the army in and around 2,600 protesters and other civilians were massacred but one student wasn't having any of it after the protesters had been wiped out one unknown figure was ballsy enough to stand down for tanks this is where the inaccuracies appear many people remember the tank simply mowing down the protester and continuing on their parade in reality though the protester was not run over he was taken off by a group of soldiers and no one knows what happened to him this false memory is hardly surprising considering the brutality the Chinese army had already shown towards the protesters in some ways it even seems a more fitting end for a hero experts believe was probably unceremoniously killed off in private so that was 10 false memories that everyone believes which misinformed memories did you hold are there any we left out of the list let us know in the comments below and if you
