now that ICE is going to be the most rapidly expanding large hiring force in the united states how many people do you think are going to justify working for them and complain about how nobody respects them

Don’t know who needs to hear this, but “just call the cops on the cops” is indeed a fucking stupid concept that will get more people killed.

I cannot believe this has to be said but I keep seeing posts recommending this and then turning comments off when they get criticism. do NOT call 911 on ICE officers. the "report someone impersonating a cop" trick doesn't work because undercover officers are not legally required to identify themselves. 911 dispatchers can and do send police to respond to calls. you are going to end up having to deal with even more cops, putting yourself and everyone around you in increased danger.

On principle I am anti-war, but deep inside my spirit is pleading for someone to utterly level Tel Aviv.

You have to be pretty fucking egotistical to think it's more likely that reality itself has shifted around you—rewriting history, altering media, and erasing evidence—than it is for you to just be wrong. And yet, here we are, watching grown adults insist with absolute certainty that they’ve slipped into an alternate dimension because they couldn’t possibly be misremembering the spelling of "Berenstain Bears."

The Mandela Effect isn’t just a quirky internet phenomenon—it’s the antithesis of Occam’s Razor. Instead of accepting the simplest explanation (human memory is fallible), its followers leap straight to the most convoluted sci-fi nonsense:

"Obviously, my memory is infallible, as is the collective memory of random strangers on the internet, and therefore the ONLY explanation for me being wrong is that I have been pulled through a wormhole into an alternate reality where small things have shifted just enough to make me look dumb, but not enough to be immediately noticeable."

Do these people genuinely not hear how ridiculous they sound? It’s one thing to misquote a movie line or misremember a logo—that’s just how brains work. But to spin that into "I’ve crossed into a parallel universe" is next-level delusion. And let’s be real: if reality has actually changed as many times as they claim, wouldn’t the changes be a little more… consequential? Instead, we’re stuck debating whether the Monopoly Man ever wore a monocle (he didn’t) or if Shazaam starring Sinbad was a real movie (it wasn’t).

It’s almost as bad as the "reality shifting" crowd—the ones who genuinely believe they can astral project into their favorite fictional universes to date Draco Malfoy or fight alongside the Avengers. At least those folks are (mostly) teens engaging in escapist fantasy. But full-grown adults insisting that the entire timeline has been altered because they swear Fruit of the Loom had a cornucopia in its logo? That’s not quirky—it’s concerning.

If you want to study a real mental health crisis, look at these mass delusions spreading like wildfire online. Social media amplifies confirmation bias, turning minor false memories into "evidence" of a cosmic glitch. And instead of questioning themselves, people double down, building entire communities around the idea that they are the reliable ones and the world must be wrong.

At some point, we have to ask: Is this a symptom of something darker—a growing distrust in objective reality, fueled by narcissism and the internet’s echo chambers?

Because when "I remember it differently" becomes "the universe has changed," we’re not dealing with curiosity anymore. We’re dealing with cult thinking.

people without any whimsy scare me. why are you like that. where are your trinkets.

we need to legalise learning for adults

there is no excuse for working with or for ICE. these people are evil to the core. masked cowards and abusers elevated to a secret police that can get away with stories like these every single week.
