If you asked me yesterday to draw this logo would have put the cornucopia. The two options aren’t labeled you pick which one is correct and then come to find out you’re wrong.
You’re really not understanding how good the brain is at tricking us, of course it feels like you’d have drawn it but your brain didn’t think about it yesterday what you’re doing is simulating what your best assumption is for how things would have happened using the current set of information.
They’ve done all sorts of studies on this and honestly it’s terrorizing just thinking about it.
All of us misremembering the same thing is weird though
If true then what would we call this mass misremembering? Some effect according to… Mandela maybe?
Yeah that makes sense because so many people remember him dying in prison in the 90’s even though he actually died in 2013

Brains work (and fail) the same way
Totally agree! I love these kinds of things. I honestly prefer to believe it’s multiverse collapse, but, you know. Generally I know that is unlikely.
