r/NoodleEmpress This one is a bit more personal to me, but growing up my mom and I always made an effort to go to the beach every Friday afternoon. When it got too dark to be in the water, we would make our way to the park that was right next to the beach. On some Fridays, we would just chill on one of the slides and look at the stars. One day I saw this light spinning around and remember asking my mom what it was. She told me that it was a lighthouse, and that it’s used at night to stop ships from crashing into the shore. I remember this vividly because it was kind of like my gateway into hyperfixating on sunken and shipwrecked ships. Years later, over a decade (so this was probably in the mid to late 2000s), got back into lighthouses. I go online to see if this lighthouse that saw was still in commission, and I can’t find any traces of it. So I ask my mom, and apparently this conversation we had never took place according to her. I insist, and finally she’s like “idk babes, probably forgot” So I go looking deeper, and apparently there was never a lighthouse where thought it was. To this day it fucks me up, because I KNOW what I saw, I KNOW what we talked about.

Apparently Kit Kat has no hiphen.
r/SK570 I don’t know if it counts, but I had a favorite orange t-shirt and I haven’t seen it in years. Asked my mom if she knows anything about it and described the drawings on it. She went “You mean the turquoise one? It’s in x drawer” I fought her a while about it and finally went to check the said drawer and there it was, my favorite “orange” shirt in all its turquoise glory
r/SteveJones313 Honestly not even the famous ones, more like shit in my town changing. Small stuff, but infuriating. For example, near one of the shops where me and my brother would go for walks were these weird pillars, the small kind you’d put up to prevent cars from driving through. Well there’d be days where they’re not there and no one I ask remembers them being there. Then there are days when they’re there and when I ask about them I get the whole “they’ve always been there.” It’s one of the few MEs I’ve experienced in this town.
r/USSMarauder Not me, but a few other folks I’m an amateur astronomer, and the book in our astronomy club library that causes the most controversy is one about bright comets of the last few decades A comet bright enough to see from the city happens about once a decade on average. And a lot of people saw one in the sky when they were kids or in their teens, and then years later they ask about it. And so the book comes out and they look through it and check the year and go ‘that’s not right’. Because they remember seeing the comet when they were in middle school, when in reality it was when they were in high school, or vice versa.
r/nfms_ginger21 The fact that shaggy doesn’t have a protruding Adam’s apple Edit: holy shit I did not expect this to blow up as much as it did.
r/thecanaryisdead2099 The “objects in mirror MAY BE closer than they appear” one still bugs me.
r/The-one-true-hobbit The one that always gets me is particular to my friends and I from when we were kids. There was a creek that ran under the street in the neighborhood and we would sometimes hang out in the banks on either side of the road. There was this big rock that we would sit on all the time. Except one day we were walking by and it wasn’t a rock. It was a small tree. Fully rooted in and established and the rock was no where to be seen. Mind you, it was an extremely heavy boulder. We passed that spot all the time and all of us remember that rock. We call it the shapeshifting rock.
r/rest explorer Ok ok hear me out. First of all: in Brazil you tipically don’t go to school (middle school or high school, doesn’t matter) for the whole day. You are in school either in the morning (usually 7.30 am to noon) or in the afternoon (usually 1pm to 5.30pm). Every single person who was a kid in Brazil (and was not ir school in the mornings) when 9/11 happened remembers watching Dragon Ball Z and having it be interrupted for the breaking news of the attacks. And I mean EVERYONE. It comes up every time someone asks “what were you doing when 9/11 happened”. Except DBZ wasn’t on at that time. Someone checked the airing times and compared to the time when the attacks happened. Definitely not on. Still, a whole generation of kids is 100% sure they were watching DBZ when the news broke out. edit: wow this blew up etc etc. also holy fuck everyone saying that this isn’t real and they edited the timetables after the fact. You sound like conspiracy theorists. Look up Occam’s Razor. This has been thoroughly discussed by Brazilians on the internet. It’s not something new. Someone else said it in this thread: the tv show that played DBZ wasn’t even aired on that day.
