Something that you've always thought that happened - that didn't
I have spent that last 35 years believing that I had an accident (in 1990) in which I damaged my basal ganglia (an important area of the brain) - the result of an accident.
But it turns out that I didn't and was not even helicoptered to neurology in Southampton hospital - as I believed……
It appears that at some point in the last few decades - this was put in to my memory and I have used it myself to explain away my current health problems.

Gosh - that's a bit worrying. Have you raised this with a medical professional?

Wow @Wibbles, that must have been pretty strange to find that out. How did you discover that things didn't go the way you thought they had?
I spent a lot of my early teenage years very unwell so I have memories of things that I'm not sure are real as well as 'memories' that are just versions of events that people on the outside have told me about afterwards. It's a very weird feeling to have those gaps in your brain that you can't ever properly fill in!
For a long time I had a strange memory of throwing a paper aeroplane at a disrespectful nurse who came to my house, but when I asked my mum about it she said it didn't happen. I probably wanted to though, enough to plant a false memory that I actually did it 😁
How are you feeling about it all?

Off topic but you'd be a great case in point for explaining the philosophical differentiation between fact and truth, and how it's possible to be truthful but not factual

I had always believed that when Dollie smiles at Jaws in Moonraker she had braces on her teeth, I totally have that memory of seeing it, but it never actually happened.

It did happen, there are others such as the cornacopia on fruit of the loom logo, monopoly guy having a monacle etc. There has been evidence found with some really old items still having them on them. Mandela effects are becoming more and more common.
There is a theory at the moment that the cern collider is causing inter dimensions and literally causing our reality to mess with another reality cuasing after effects such as rewritten history and other small events.
Another thoery suggests AI could be rewriting our history, and causing little adjustments over time as everything such as wikipedia and most text's can be edited and rewritten. Although I've always struggled with this concept as surely people would actually remember the change over.
But theres lots of theory's on the idea right down to thinking we are in a simulation and matrix.
Whatever the cause its an interesting topic.

It's very interesting stuff, rubin16. Is there anywhere where I can see this evidence?
I had always thought that it's just our minds filling in what's not there, like with the Monopoly guy you would expect a guy like that to be wearing a monacle, and maybe the reason why it's taken us so long to notice he doesn't is because maybe we're just so used to seeing him as he actually is so nothing jumps out at us?
But, the cornacopia on the Fruit of The Loom logo, is not something I would expect to see as I am not familiar with cornacopia's at all, in fact I didn't even know they existed until very recently, so this is NOT something I would expect to see with the fruit, yet, I remember always seeing it on the logo back in the day.

May I ask who is suggesting the Large Hadron Collider is altering history? Professor Brian Cox seems to think this is no more than a conspiracy theory. He was more blunt, but it amounted to the same thing.

Here are some interesting video's:

I also always thought the whole idea and reason why he liked her so much was the fact she had braces.

I discovered the truth via SAR's which are available for free for the whole of your life !
I used to have alcohol problems - and part of the treatment involved a drug called Antabuse - which reacts with alcohol and makes you throw up - hence not drink.
But if you DO partake - it can react and cause Globus Pallidus lesions !!
Plus - I had a fall back in 1990 - and from my historic medical notes, it appears that I was not cared for properly - the hospital took its time recovering me and I was left for some considerable time without oxygen - this too, can cause lesions !
MRI's are the only way to check for lesions and I was only given an MRI in 1992 at a hospital that had no experience of MRI's.
They missed the damage and it took another 4 years until I had an MRI at the National Hospital in London who diagnosed my problem correctly - before that I was thought to be psychotic and was tried on every possible drug going to cure me.
Amantadine, Sinemet Plus, Levadopa, Chlorpromazine Clonezapam, Domperiodone, Chlordiazepoxide (Librium), Maxolon, Lithium, Hemineverin, Diazepam, Suphiride, Pimozide and Benzhexol - were all tried - some in large doses and for extended time - I was under a Consultant Psychiatrist for some time and he was trying all of these drugs for no reason other than he assumed that my condition was psychotic rather than neurological. Some of these drugs are extremely powerful and potentially made my condition, considerably worse, it appears that nobody really knew what the true cause was and they were just trying random fixes.
If this had happened recently - I would have had a claim against the NHS but I think that it may be too late now ?

"Something that you've always thought that happened - that didn't"
Not me but this guy still does…
The heavily armed, Trump-incited mob attack of Jan. 6, 2021, was an attack not just on the U.S. Capitol building, but also on democracy and the rule of law.
😞

No, Trump still believes that it is acceptable for a sovereign country to lose a 1/5th of it's land to an attacking nation and accept it's loss.
If Canada had attacked the USA and had control of say Washington, Minnesota and Montana - would it be acceptable for a truce to be called, maintaining the present state of play ?
ie) With Canada in control of 1/10th USA ?
Of course not
So why does Trump believe that it is OK with Ukraine ?
