The Mandela Effect Explained
The Mandela Effect refers to a situation in which a large mass of people believes that an event occurred when it did not. The term was originated in 2009 by Fiona Broome, after she discovered that she, along with a number of others, believed that Nelson Mandela had died in the 1980s.
The image combines a definition of the Mandela Effect with a first-person shooter gameplay screenshot and a streamer’s facecam. The joke comes from the absurd, mismatched presentation: a serious encyclopedia-style explanation is placed over an unrelated gaming scene, making the meme feel like a strange or misremembered internet post.
