The Mandela Effect

[ArMaP]

Since the pose of The Thinker is a common point of disagreement it made me think of this thread.

It is? Why?

Has the statue always been how you remember it?

Yes.

It is? Why?


Yes.

Many people remember the pose of the statue differently. Instead of the chin resting on the back of an open hand, they remember a fist or the statue with its hand to its forehead, or its elbow on the other knee, or some such. There's lots of what is called "residue", like this:



A weird photo, with a group of people in front of the statue itself. You'd think at least one of them would be doing it correctly. Did the statue change, and the reality-change "miss" the people in the scene?

Plus, Rodin himself described the statue:

“What makes my Thinker think is that he thinks not only with his brain, with his knitted brow, his distended nostrils, and compressed lips, but with every muscle of his arms, back, and legs, with his clenched fist and gripping toes.

Um, there's no "clenched fist", Augie.... Quote source

Plus, Rodin himself described the statue:

That's not a description of the statue, it's an explanation.

Hey if anyone watches Black Mirror, episode 2 of the new season that's out has a plot that involves "false memories" like the Mandela Effect. The episode is called "Bête Noire".

To add to the fun, it looks like Netflix is showing at least two different versions of this episode:
