I agree, I have not been saying scale determines if something is a mandela, scale only gives credence to its validity is a mandela. This is why the miss hearing of the lyrics Sweet dreams are made of cheese is not a Mandela effect, because it is talked about as being misheard. Even though millions of people heard it that way, but there is evidence of it being misunderstood. There are a few things that I personally call mandela FX that millions of people do not agree with me about. But there exists no evidence that what I remember has ever been.

When it comes to inconsequential facts, no matter the scale, they are still inconsequential. So of course that makes sense that it might be a trick of memory. But the Mandela effect has very large consequence facts included. Such as, the date of Nelson Mandela's death. Whether or not Costa Rica is an island or in The Latin American Peninsula. The location of Australia on a map. Another part that makes something a Mandela affect, is that there are no residual evidence so that a Case can be proven. So while, yes, sure hundreds of thousands, millions of people, Could be wrong and misremembered something. But statistics and mathematics say that possibility is highly extremely to impossible.

@Ram, you can certainly say whatever this is on your post, Yes. I was responding to Allure since she had a misunderstanding that the Mandela effect is simply a trick of memory. It has been studied for many years, and whatever your definition, one of the principles of calling something a Mandela effect, is that it is not a misremembered thing. I have no doubt that you remembered the song as rise. I don't have that particular memory. But as you said, there are others that do.

@Allure, that is not what the Mandela effect is. The only way to understand is to illustrate. We all know the Michael Jackson song, Smooth Criminal. Listen to the second chorus, and tell me if that is how you remember it? Or, the Mr. Rogers theme song, go listen to the first line and tell me if that is what you remember. The Mandela effect is not tricks of memory, especially when that memory is remembered bye hundreds of thousands of people the same way.

There are two sides to reality for each person because you have that person‘s reality and the actual reality of existence outside of you, which exists outside of you before and after you and you have your reality, which is your imprint in to this ongoing circle of existence

Bright makes more sense, as the lyric because the lyric that follows after is, Oh what fun it is to sing a slaying song tonight.
Phox
Oh and, once you go down the rabbit hole, you will most likely come to believe that we all crossover from different universes to occupy this current state in time and space. So you come from a different reality than I do. You can use the Mandela effects as a gauge of which reality you come from
Phox
BTW, no, I have always heard bright. And this is not a Mandela I have heard about.
