True. Essentially the same people who somehow remember Bob’s Big Boy as having the best burgers ever and are anxiously waiting for a Skid Row reunion. I think it’s called The Mandela Effect.
I think The Mandela Effect is for collective false memories.
An example for me is that I always remembered the children's books as "The Berenstein Bears" - but they are "The Berenstain Bears".
^ It would seem to me the Jewish couple who wrote that book played the Jewish name-change game, but IIRC, I went to Wikipedia, and the husband's real last name was "Berenstain". How many names have "stain" in the name rather than "stein"? So I think that false memory makes sense.
Some people thought that Nelson Mandela had died in prison, but then I thought I was confusing him for Rubin Carter, who was played by Denzel Washington in "The Hurricane" [1999]. As it turns out, I'm not sure why people thought that Nelson Mandela died in prison, but I remember hearing that another Black leader died in 1989, possibly after a stint in prison, but I can't remember.
I think that Mike Tyson may still be able to fight impressively, especially if pitted against another boxer of a similar age, like Roy Jones Jr., but those who think that Tyson will be anywhere near his prime...well...I guess after a lifetime of watching movies like Rocky and being sheltered, as well as being spoiled due to Western/capitalist largess, people internalize silly things that make no sense in reality.
In fairness to Kevin Levrone, I don't think he looked bad, even next to the best in the world.
If Kevin Levrone and Phil Heath went on a tour to meet members of the public, both wearing form-fitting clothes, the average person would not be able to tell much of a difference. On stage was obviously another thing.
Wasn't Roy Jones Jr. competitive professionally until as recently as 2017? Wouldn't he be the clear winner in that case?
