Datsuncog Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Tonight I was given a free cinnamon roll in IKEA for adjudicating in a dispute about the nature and origin of the Mandela Effect between two teenage employees running the hot dog stand by the exit. The heady mixture of unexpected free bread-based foodstuffs, plus the opportunity to publicly show off my interest in popular culture tropes, has put me on a high from which I may never fully come down. cobblers, GrumpiusMaximus, 108 and 18 others 8 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, amazingly not - I'd paid for and received a hot dog, and was just turning away when one of the guys said, "Here, I'll give you a free cinnamon roll if you can answer this - what's it called when people have different memories of the same thing in the past, like the guy on the Monopoly box with the top hat: some people say he definitely always had a monocle but doesn't now, and some say they never remember him with one - what's that called?" When I said "The Mandela Effect", and threw out a few more examples of disputed cultural memory (Nelson Mandela prison death in the 1980s; Berenstein/ Berenstain Bears; the Shazaam movie) the other fella smiled and said "I told ya", while the first guy said, "Right, fair enough", and handed me a cinnamon roll, saying "Don't tell anyone I gave you this, alright?" Unless, of course, the staff 'argument' was more along the lines of "I bet you that big goof in the queue is the kind of sad-act who'd know all about the Mandela Effect, and will probably talk about it animatedly and at length until you give him a cinnamon roll to make him go away." Not beyond the realms of possibility. But - either way I got a free cinnamon roll, and I am that tragic that it gave me a happy glow for the rest of the day. somewhatfoolish, DSdriver, Spurious and 19 others 15 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Caught some knobhead by us fly tipping, he argued the toss and tried to deny it. Next week our bin goes missing and it's outside this brain donor's house. The next week our bin is back and his has been thrown into the non-recyclable skip at the council tip. myglaren, AnnoyingPentium, Banger Kenny and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyG Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 On the subject of radios, a friend gave me this at the weekend with some other stuff: It’s the 90’s (?) repro one, so I was expecting it to sound like shite, and I was also dubious about FM reception as there is no external aerial, but it picks up stations well and actually sounds really good, including on classical stuff which is always a serious test on a cheapy radio. I’m counting that as a win. Yoss, Remspoor and privatewire 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
