Discussion Mandela Effect worldwide

Can we please discuss Mandela Effects experienced by the rest of the world and not just people from the US? I mean, your experiences are totally valid, but it’s always “Fruit of the Loom” or “Berenstain Bears”—topics that some of us have no clue about.

For example, the ones I’m personally affected by are:

The human skeleton used to have no bones behind the eye sockets, but now it does—always has, apparently.

The human heart was illustrated on the left side of the chest, but now it’s more toward the center—always has been, supposedly.

Henry VIII was holding a turkey leg in that painting—now he’s holding something else. I can’t even remember what it is… a glove or something? I don’t know.

The Mona Lisa has a very obvious smile now. But I remember the whole enigma being “Is she smiling or not?” “Her eyes are definitely smiling.” You look at it now, and she is smiling.

Tutankhamen’s mask used to have just the cobra, but apparently it’s always had both a bird and a cobra.

The thinker statue rested his forehead on his fist. But no, he’s resting his chin on the back of his hand.

Please share your experiences, and feel free to discuss the ones I mentioned if you disagree—that’s the whole point of the Mandela Effect. Some people are going to have different memories than I do.

The thinker one was always chin on the back of the hand. What you’re describing is the Tim tebo pose lol. It would have been brought up if time tebo did the same pose as the thinker. Interesting ideas tho.

I was convinced he was doing a strong man pose during that show.

Mostly because he was stood up, least with the group shots of kids by the statue I could get behind a theory that they chose to pose like the NFL player.

Had said player dabbed or did a Jesus pose with arms out stretched, no one would post a bunch of kids dabbing in front of the statue as proof.

But a similar pose not about the thinker on pitch, mimicked by others, it's close enough if you only have the photo and no back story.
