(I am not doing the quote thing because I think the message would not go through due to my low post count, as happened the previous time I used the quote thing on here)
I am happy that you ask and I am happy to explain- or try to explain- the Mandela Effect.
It is very complicated. I found out about it last year. It is a topic unto itself.
I explained it to some people a couple days ago. I asked this woman (my relative's girlfriend who was there with him- I don't approve of the dating thing but unfortunately they are not Muslim and they won't listen to me) to spell the name of the Bernstein Bears.
She spelled it "Bernstein", as I figured she would. I do it all the time. I ask people how to spell the Bernstein Bears. Almost everyone remembers "Bernstein" Bears.
Another thing I like to ask is "what does Forrest Gump say?" as far as life and box of chocolates. Pretty much everyone says "life is like a box of chocolates"- that is what they remember him saying.
If you watch Forrest Gump now- he says life
was like a box of chocolates. If you look at the Bernstein Bears... their name is now spelled Bernstain. People may remember C3PO being all gold. He now is shown with a silver leg. To give another example, Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz now is shown with a pistol.
I am not great at explaining this but I am trying and hope I am understood.
As I see it, you can divide into A- what people remember. And B- what is shown if you go back and examine the material.
Why the discrepancy? Why the gap between what people remember and what seems to be the actuality?
This phenomena is known as the Mandela Effect. I've given a couple examples.
This is a huge field of research unto itself.
I will link resources for those who wish to research and understand.

So what is the source of the Mandela Effect? How is the discrepancy between what appears and what is remembered- how is this discrepancy accounted for?
To my understanding, there are two basic approaches- as far as explanation.
The first basic explanation would be false memories on a mass scale.
My probem is... how did I know that my family member's girlfriend would have the same "false memory" I have? I remember BERNSTEIN Bears and so did she. So has pretty much everyone who I've asked. And I've asked quite a few people.
If you look at a phenomena like hallucination... how is it possible that multiple people would independently have the same hallucination? If what I have as far as BERNSTEIN Bears is a false memory.... why do so many others have the same false memory as me?
So false memory is the first explanation as I understand it.
The second explanation is that which I hold to. The second explanation is that certain things have objectively changed.
I am merely explaining things. May Allah guide us and may Allah give us strength. I am finding this hard to discuss. I do not like talking about this... however, I feel this is important stuff and I type for the sake of whoever may read.
Okay. The second explanation. Which is very difficult for people to wrap their heads around. What I have concluded is.... somehow.... somehow things were altered. What this would seem to mean is that somehow..... someone or...... whoever.... whatever..... somehow managed to change things.
Someone said.... "oh, you know...... it was the kids.... you know... the younger generation.... they changed the name of the Bernstein Bears.... you know...... the family's younger members published under a different name"..... that would be something completely banal. And that is not the point at all.
Those who believe the Mandela Effect is real and not merely masses have people having parallel false memories....we believe that..... it seems that some.... something or someone or whatever it was.... went back in time and altered stuff... or something to that effect.
What I am absolutely insistent upon is this: when I read the Bernstein Bears, it was spelled Bernstein. Others who don't want to deal with such a conclusion as that I have been led to.... they might say "well...... it must have been Bernstain the whole time" or try to find some other way to explain things away. I refuse to be convinced that my memory is false. I know what I remember.
Yet the books now say "Bernstain". So I'm crazy or.... something beyond what humans believe to be possible has taken place.
Very many people believe that the Mandela Effect has to do with CERN. They opened a portal or something and that has to do with the Mandela Effect and altering the timeline.
Okay. And this is something that made me angry. I would not post any of this were it not for the Bible alterations. Whoever or whatever is behind the Mandela Effect... they changed Forrest Gump... who really cares.... that is not all that significant. Not even the Bernstein Bears.
But what is very serious and what made me angry is.... seeing the word "bottles" in the King James Bible.... there was a phrase about new wine and old wineskins or something like that.
I grew up Christian, taking the Bible very seriously..... I know for a fact that the King James Bible said wineskins.... now it says bottles! When I found out, I looked in my own copy...... IN MY OWN COPY IT NOW SAID BOTTLES!
To give another example... the word "matrix" is now in the Bible.... I looked in my grandma's Bible..... in her Bible it now says "matrix!".
Another example is the Lion and the Lamb. There is a very famous passage.... it said the lion shall lay with the lamb. Now it says the wolf shall lay with the lamb.
These are a few examples. There are many, many, many, many more and a person can spend many, many hours researching all this- whether in a general way or specifically referring to the alterations within the Bible.
I know the Bible and I know the alterations took place and I saw it. And Christians have continued and continued.... their Bibles changed right in front of them and they didn't notice. They still continue.
This is a clear demonstration that the Bible is tampered with and is not to be trusted.
Which seriously breaks my heart. Thank God for Islam and thank God for the Quran- that Allah has been merciful enough to bring guidance to the world and that we do not have to rely on corrupted scriptures.
