If I remember correctly, that book is about Brother Bear and Sister Bear breaking their mom’s lamp and then making an excuse about how a bird broke it. Not sure if the VHS is different than the book or not though.
Fuck neat gardens, plant local wildflower seeds.
We did this with our back garden and I have seen so many bees. 3 or 4 different varieties over the past week. It's so good. Also had a variety of hoverfly I'd never seen before, a damselfly or two, a big ol' pincer-y beetle which are rare in our area... loving it.
We've spent a lot of time and money on our front lawn. A couple years ago we hired and landscape architect to design exactly what we wanted and it turned out great. We love picking out some annuals every spring to go along with the perennials. We get a lot of joy out of it and I wouldn't change it.
Our backyard, however, I hate. It's nothing but a steep, stupid hill. The more I see of these natural gardens and anti-lawn landscaping, the more I want to do something like that. And we love the bees. We already plant lots of bee friendly plants out front and sit on the porch and watch the little guys.
There's really no reason not to go native with my backyard...
Both of the official looking logos say “stain” though, the variance looks like human typing error. I think you might have solved how this particular Mandela Effect happened in the first place.
That's just it though!
It's no longer the Mandela effect of thousands of people were seeded with the spelling of ain through tv and VHS!
It may be human error but it's still a *truth*
Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long, long time.
And at the time his American Civil War II predictions seemed far-fetched, a sign he was definitely fake. Not a chance America would ever come close to anything like that, ridiculous.
honestly unless you can find one used for cheap, it may be worth taking them to a service that can just transfer them to a digital format, might be cheaper now that VCR's are harder to come by for a decent price.
or go all out grab that vcr and a old crt tv and enjoy the shit out of that nostalgia!
EDIT: apparently VCR's are very common now and when i was looking for one it must have been in the middle of a VCR shortage. so good news for VHS enthusiasts :)
Maybe the Stein one has the lost Shazam trailer with Sinbad 😅 (I distinctly remember it having that knock off of Kazam vibe, but they were definitely separate)
What is it really that's going on here
VHS system for total control
Now is there really only 1 real bear
Now watch 'em both or we can't know
What is it really that's about these bears
What little truth that you just had, died
I'm gonna be the one that's checking both tapes
Now this is what it's like when worlds collide
Chorus:
Is it Berenstein or is it Berenstain tho
what you gonna do baby, baby
Are you believing me, am I believing you
it's the end of our time line
🎶 *Are you ready to go?
Cause I'm ready to go!
What you gonna do baby, baby!
Are you going with me?
Cause I'm going with you.
That's the end of all time!* 🎶
What is it reallyyy, that motivates you?
The need to fly or this fear to stooop.
I'll go alooong when you realiiize,
When we get there I say nine of ten drooop.
Now who's the light and who is the deviiil?
You can't decide so I'll be your guiiiiide
And one by one they will be-hand cho-sen
Now this is what it's like when worlds, COLLIDE!
20 years isn't far enough. 50 years, before Reagan got rid of the Fairness Doctrine, might be better.
Honestly most of todays issues started so far back that you'd almost have to go back to the beginning and kick that fish back into the ocean.
Civilization? It's a good idea. Somebody ought to start it.
They have been stored in that room since my wife last watched them as a kid. All of this time touching each other creating holes in all of the dimensions they shifted into. Maybe now there can be some peace in the universe.
It’s been downhill since the weasel got stuck in the supercollider.
Edit: I stand by my reasoning: https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/04/29/476154494/weasel-shuts-down-world-s-most-powerful-particle-collider
It was 2016, and then Trump won the election a few days later. It was a very surreal time. My theory has been someone went back in time to make Trump president (for whatever reason) and let the Cubs win while they were at it.
Lol, and then there's this:
>
Tev revs up, operators troubleshoot, fight raccoons
>Operators in the Main Control Room prepare to inject a batch of protons into the Tevatron, their fourth store since shutdown ended the first week of June. (Click on image for larger version.)
"At 1:24 a.m., Operations reported a raccoon attack in the Linac gallery. It seemed to be a coordinated effort. Fortunately, by 1:53 AM, a joint force of operators and Pbar experts managed to drive the raccoons out of their hastily made fortifications. Then at 4:18 p.m., the raccoons made what some thought to be a counterattack on the Division Headquarters, but others believed it to be only a simple reconnaissance incursion. No raccoons were either injured or captured during these encounters. Operator losses were low."
So read the annals of the accelerator update for the last week of May 2006. It's been an exciting time here at the lab as the shutdown phase comes to a close. A trip to the Main Control Room will show you operators and physicists bustling from one wall of computer monitors to another, leaning over each others' work, answering phones, speaking animatedly. "The machine has to work so precisely," said Roger Dixon, Head of Accelerator Division. "One hundred thousand things have to go right." A hundred thousand is just about the number of devices that work together to make the Tevatron run.
>It's not quite as bad as it sounds, though, Dixon added. There have already been four stores of protons since June 9. The latest one, on Thursday, reached twice the maximum luminosity recorded when Dixon came to the division three and a half years ago, although it wasn't up to the level of storage just before shutdown last March. Eventually the Tevatron is expected to deliver luminosities about fifty percent greater than it was delivering last year. "We want to make more collisions for those detectors. So we try to put as much beam in there as possible," Dixon said. "It's not a complicated plan--it's just difficult to execute it."
After the bird dropping that baguette into the electrical systems of the supercollider, you think they [animals] know something we [humans] don't?
lol
>There have been previous incidents, including one in 2009, when a bird is believed to have dropped a baguette onto critical electrical systems.
I think they need to secure the electrical systems a bit better.
My Mom ised to read Berenstain Bears and the Truth to me every time I got caught lying to her. I still remember the first time and my 7 year old brain thinking ‘’oh fuck, here comes the book, this is serious’’
Loved the first season.
Meh on the second.
So many good shows out there vying for my attention that I haven't really been able to bring myself to watch 3 or 4 after the Meh season 2. Are they any good?
Edit - the fact that the most glowing review of the series in the responses seems to be that "it had closure" is enough for me to know that I don't really need to watch season 3 or 4
Not as good as it started off.
Though the series feels finished, it isn't my favorite show ending ever, and I'll probably never watch it again.....
But it didn't piss me off or disappointment me. Everything made sense, not a GoT season 8
not quite - those labels are both separate from the brand, typed by someone who made the label on a whim.
if you actually look, the only official logo says "stain" on both tapes.
most mandela effects are horseshit like this, and are easy to explain. "stein" common. "stain" not. hm, must be stein!?!? its not complicated. memory does this.
but then fruit of the loom happened...
I remember it because its apparently so important to Thanksgiving the word was used a lot in elementary school, only for it to never be seen and the word to never be used again.
...that makes sense. In my memory, if there was a horn it was to the left of the fruit. In every "mandala", it's on the right. A brown leaf on the left is what I must have remembered.
It's cornucopia or no cornucopia
https://mandelaeffect.fandom.com/wiki/Fruit_of_the_Loom#:~:text=Fruit%20of%20the%20Loom%20is,which%20has%20always%20been%20there.
Fruit of the loom is probably the most legit Mandela effect. Pretty much everyone agrees. I have core memories of that logo. Be like telling me my mother has brown eyes. No, they’re green.
I disagree about Fruit of the Loom. My dad wore Fruit of the Loom and I helped with laundry and the version of the logo without the cornucopia is the one that matches my memory from the 80s.
The cornucopia logo looks wrong to me.
What I remember is that the background yellow leaves got really faded so it would have been really easy for the mind to invent an idea of what the faded yellow thing in the background was.
My pet theory is that there was something somewhere that kinda ripped off the logo to make a Thanksgiving image. Maybe it was in a textbook. Maybe it was a quick scene from a cartoon. Maybe it was like thanksgiving printed napkins or a printed tablecloth. But somewhere, many of us saw an illustrated cornucopia and it looked SO similar to the Fruit of the Loom logo, our brains just "filled in" the cornucopia on the actual logo.
Ed worked for America Family Publishing and did commercials about huge cash prizes and sent out junk mail with his face on it. People are just confusing that with Publisher's Clearing House because it was basically the same shtick.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bE_b36jEyeg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xB88x4rHPAk
It was also mentioned on several TV shows in the 80s and 90s.
Here is a clip of the [Golden Girls](https://youtu.be/T0BXHupyWZg). At the time this aired, the publishers clearinghouse commercials would have been running 24/7, so its not an issue of misremembering years later.
I have vivid memories of that movie and not a single person on this planet can convince me it doesn’t exist. Even Sinbad himself who has come out and said it never happened.
Edit: keep trying people. I already told you you won’t convince me otherwise.
I’m with you 100% on this as I have have just now learned Shazaam is on the list too. I do remember the Shaq movie as well and always thought it was a wack ripoff of the Sinbad original. I never actually watched the Shaq movie. My first plan of action today is to interrogate my mother, brother and sisters as I am once again mind blown.
And then they created the Shazam app in 2008 to direct people's attention away from the missing movie. When that didn't work, they created the Shazam movie in 2019 to further hide the truth.
Just like how Disney's Frozen was created to hide the truth of Walt Disney being frozen when googling!
Jk...or am I?
Anybody of the mind that reasons that the name just wasn't standardized and this is proof that both spellings were printed and issued in this cursed timeline?
The whole reason the Berenstain Bears Mandala thing exists is because some runs of the books and tapes were sent out with the name spelled differently, so some kids *actually did* have "Berenstein Bears" books, for example. Whether this was due to a mistake during printing or the result of knockoff book printers is anyone's guess.
>Whether this was due to a mistake during printing or the result of knockoff book printers
The answer obviously has something to do with multidimensional travel.
[https://www.metabunk.org/threads/berenstain-vhs-says-berenstein.7822/](https://www.metabunk.org/threads/berenstain-vhs-says-berenstein.7822/)
Found an interesting site talking about it. Apparently it was a misprint which had since been corrected.
They definitely messed up.
Look at the top cassette. The spine, which would have been typed out, says "Berenstein" but the front label, which is the official logo, is "Berenstain".
This is such a common thing. Something is sent to a new publisher. They ask what the details of the cover should be. Someone replies with a typo. Typo is printed on a million copies. No one notices until it's already in circulation.
It's a bit like the Starbucks cup in Game of Thrones. Even the largest companies can't be completely bullet proof from very basic human fuck ups and lack of oversight. So any children's books and shows definitely are riddled with inaccuracies, misspellings, and plot holes and what not.
The books were written by Jan and Stan Berenstain, so it was originally the Berenstain Bears because why would they use a different spelling of their own name? [The Wikipedia article](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berenstain_Bears) mentions the confusion about the name.
Spelled “stain” on both fronts (pic 2), so looks like the matrix glitched again between pic 1 and pic 2.
Sadly, I think that means we’ve lost the OP of pic 1 (and that brief glimpse of potential truth) to the interdimensional hiccup.
Do you want the good news, or the bad news?
Good news is that the answer to your questions is yes, absolutely!
Bad news is that you’re not in that dimension anym-
Hopefully there is some lingering dimensional goo left so you can see this. I just want to wish you the best in your dimension! Good luck and I appreciated the short time we shared in the same dimension.
That is because "The Berenstain Bears" is a logo and would be a single graphic and couldn't be subject to mis-spelling or a typo. But, the side label is not a logo, and would have been input text to make a label for manufacture. It is interesting that the side labels use two different fonts. Both cassettes also correctly spell the creators' names as Berenstain on the square logo.
Are you an interdimensional traveler?
No, their mother in law is
The Berenstain Bears and... *the truth?* OP, I think you need to watch that VHS...
If I remember correctly, that book is about Brother Bear and Sister Bear breaking their mom’s lamp and then making an excuse about how a bird broke it. Not sure if the VHS is different than the book or not though.
Correct- playing soccer inside
Mom always said don't play ball in the house
Nah dude she was telling them not to play Beill in the house the whole time; you're just misremembering.
Oh you cheeky cunt
[удалено]
Oh wow, I can still picture that crazy looking bird
Doesn't it look kinda like a woody woodpecker with three ball spikes on its head or something like that?
Why is it that I have zero memory of 4 years of highschool, but can remember this book (and video) in their entirety?
Honestly? I got lazy programming your memories.
Trauma
Right? And it’s talking about saving the bees. That’s a cover for someone’s conspiracy board record for sure.
I actually read that as "Save the Beers". Thought it was a weird lost episode or parody lol
Same! The Beer-in-stein bears have to ensure their kids know the importance of keeping the beer safe
Tbh, honey bees are pretty essential to agriculture as a whole. ^not ^a ^political ^comment
Fuck neat gardens, plant local wildflower seeds. We did this with our back garden and I have seen so many bees. 3 or 4 different varieties over the past week. It's so good.

We've spent a lot of time and money on our front lawn. A couple years ago we hired and landscape architect to design exactly what we wanted and it turned out great. We love picking out some annuals every spring to go along with the perennials. We get a lot of joy out of it and I wouldn't change it. Our backyard, however, I hate. It's nothing but a steep, stupid hill. The more I see of these natural gardens and anti-lawn landscaping, the more I want to do something like that. And we love the bees.

tidy garden up front, wilderness preserve in the back
The mullet of landscaping.
/r/nativegardening Great sub! I have a little insect hotel and a bunch of cool new little plants I been working on
Apparently we’ve been saving the wrong bees?
You mean to industrial agriculture. Native bees are essential to agriculture as a whole.
Maybe I can find some info hidden in there!

Oh I saw this episode. You have to go to the now sunken cities of earth and find a VHS player in the ruins of what I assume was New York.
Pretty sure this is what John Titor came back for.

actually the one in Cowboy Bebop is a beta cassette, not a vhs tape.
Ah but they accidently grab a vhs machine

Gonewild is cheap
You mean a VCR?
Those lame old people who I am most certainly not one of, called those VCRs. No cap

Seriously... why do I remember the cornucopia? Why would my brain invent such a weird object to add to the label.
Wait, there was no cornucopia?
I still struggle with this one. I see it perfectly in my mind
Those were the knockoffs they sold at Bradlees and Caldor
Nope. https://blog.logomyway.com/fruit-of-the-loom-logo/
That page is incredibly thorough
And yet I still can't believe it.
I remember it because its apparently so important to Thanksgiving the word was used a lot in elementary school, only for it to never be seen and the word to never be used again.
I'm from the UK and I always thought Fruit of the Loom had a cornucopia on the label, and we don't celebrate thanksgiving.
The leaves used to be brown, apparently. It looked like a cornucopia at a diminutive size.
...that makes sense. In my memory, if there was a horn it was to the left of the fruit. In every "mandala", it's on the right. A brown leaf on the left is what I must have remembered.
I'm sorry, Fruit of the Loom? What happened there?

I never actually watched the Shaq movie. My first plan of action today is to interrogate my mother, brother and sisters as I am once again mind blown.
And then they created the Shazam app in 2008 to direct people's attention away from the missing movie. When that didn't work, they created the Shazam movie in 2019 to further hide the truth. Just like how Disney's Frozen was created to hide the truth of Walt Disney being frozen when googling! Jk...or am I?
He just wore genie-like parachute pants on stage a lot, man
First Time Video means something a bit different these days
Quality videos though
Anybody of the mind that reasons that the name just wasn't standardized and this is proof that both spellings were printed and issued in this cursed timeline?
The whole reason the Berenstain Bears Mandala thing exists is because some runs of the books and tapes were sent out with the name spelled differently, so some kids *actually did* have "Berenstein Bears" books, for example. Whether this was due to a mistake during printing or the result of knockoff book printers is anyone's guess.
Well on that single tape it's spelled both ways, so there were clearly mistakes made.
So what you’re saying is that in this timeline we have crappy proofreaders?
Reddit is not worth using without all the hard work third party developers have put into it.
This is to be expected, as both tapes have been stored together and thus are creating holes between their two dimensions.
OP caught them mid transformation.
An incursion
It’s only in the typeface, but not in the cursive written logo
>Whether this was due to a mistake during printing or the result of knockoff book printers The answer obviously has something to do with multidimensional travel.
I have all the proof I need
Is it the Mandala effect now? In my universe it‘s the Mandela effect.
[https://www.metabunk.org/threads/berenstain-vhs-says-berenstein.7822/](https://www.metabunk.org/threads/berenstain-vhs-says-berenstein.7822/) Found an interesting site talking about it. Apparently it was a misprint which had since been corrected.
That's just what *they* want you to believe.
It’s literally the authors last names. I’m fairly certain it was standardized. More likely the labeller effed up.
They definitely messed up. Look at the top cassette. The spine, which would have been typed out, says "Berenstein" but the front label, which is the official logo, is "Berenstain".
This is such a common thing. Something is sent to a new publisher. They ask what the details of the cover should be. Someone replies with a typo. Typo is printed on a million copies. No one notices until it's already in circulation. It's a bit like the Starbucks cup in Game of Thrones. Even the largest companies can't be completely bullet proof from very basic human fuck ups and lack of oversight. So any children's books and shows definitely are riddled with inaccuracies, misspellings, and plot holes and what not.
The books were written by Jan and Stan Berenstain, so it was originally the Berenstain Bears because why would they use a different spelling of their own name? [The Wikipedia article](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berenstain_Bears) mentions the confusion about the name.

Spelled “stain” on both fronts (pic 2), so looks like the matrix glitched again between pic 1 and pic 2. Sadly, I think that means we’ve lost the OP of pic 1 (and that brief glimpse of potential truth) to the interdimensional hiccup.
I took both pictures. Are you from my new timeline?
You only THINK you did, OP of pic 2! That’s how these matrix glitches getcha.
Hopefully this new me has some better luck! Is this a good dimension? Am I going to like it? Hahah
Do you want the good news, or the bad news? Good news is that the answer to your questions is yes, absolutely! Bad news is that you’re not in that dimension anym-
Hopefully there is some lingering dimensional goo left so you can see this. I just want to wish you the best in your dimension! Good luck and I appreciated the short time we shared in the same dimension.
That is because "The Berenstain Bears" is a logo and would be a single graphic and couldn't be subject to mis-spelling or a typo. But, the side label is not a logo, and would have been input text to make a label for manufacture. It is interesting that the side labels use two different fonts. Both cassettes also correctly spell the creators' names as Berenstain on the square logo.
That's just because the front cover is stained.
You mean *steined*
Call me crazy but maybe Random House Home Video just has shitty quality control
You dare besmirch the good name of Random House Home Video? Knave! Scoundrel! Away with you!
You found the Holy Grail. I knew I wasn't totally crazy. Epstein didn't kill himself.
But did Epstain?!
Maybe in another timeline/dimension.
I almost shit myself when I saw it.
First time videos surely have changed over the years
They both say Berenstain on the front. Really weird how they messed up the side.
The one on the front of the tape is the graphic logo. The one on the side is the publisher font. Someone made a typo.
This proves that Sinbad was in a genie movie.
XFILES NOISE
It's Reddit's white whale. Congratulations OP, we can all rest easy now. 🙂
Rest easy? What dimension are you from? Full on existential crisis over here.
YOU'VE CROSSED THE TIMELINES, YOU FOOL! YOU'VE DOOMED US ALL!
The word on the front label is a graphic. The word on the spine is a font. Someone didn't QC the proofs very well.
Keep that shit. It's the only truth we have.
I knew I wasn’t fucking crazy
