I’ll start by making making changes so that any of the “Mandela Effect” are changed so that the “misremembered” stuff now becomes reality, and then its gonna be funny when people eventually start talking about the new Mandela Effect 2: Electric Boogaloo, then maybe I’ll switch it back after a few years, just to make the timeline more interesting. 🤭

    This is going to be incredibly confusing for the people who spring into existence as a result of the change but have memories consistent with them never having existed. I mean, what would their memories even be?! And it would be even more confusing for their living ancestors who may find that as well as now having (grand)children they have no memory of, the ones they do have memories of suddenly no longer exist.

    There is a fun thing in astronomy where Neptune or Uranus was discovered by a mathematical proof rather then direct observation. 2 people had the same idea but one letter arrived a day earlier and they got credit for the discovery.

    I would switch that around. It has no impact on the world at large but boy would it annoy the crap out of some people.

    I wouldn’t really have a desire to change anything, unless this power allows me to prevent my own birth. I’d rather not exist than spend the first portion of my life poor and average-looking, and the latter portion mostly working every day.

    But, if I can’t do that, there are a few things I’d like to experience again for the first time.
