Off topic. How long can we refer to her as 'the queen' without qualification.
And how long before I remember the new lyrics to God save the qu.. king?
- pavlov 3y agoQueen Victoria died in 1901. I bet there were people alive at Elizabeth II’s coronation half a century later who still referred to Victoria as “the” queen.
- benj111 3y agoTrue. I still refer to 'the 20s' as the 1920s. And 'turn of the century' as 19th -> 20th century even though we're a quarter of the way into the next. I guess it'll be a generational thing like knowing what your nans talking about when she mentions the 'tranny' (transistor radio), your dad the hi fi, etc, etc.
- keepamovin 3y agoMandela effect definitely! I also remember the Queen having this, and people commenting that it was weird as HN wasn't UK focussed!
- benj111 3y agoIs your comment a data point for or against the mandela effect? The more people that remember, the stronger the presumed Mandela effect, but also the higher the burden of proof to prove the Mandela effect. At some point it becomes reasonable to assume it isn't the Mandela effect, and just the way back machine not capturing it.
- keepamovin 3y agoOverly logical. Then at your crossover point it's the other side who know it wasn't there having the Mandela effect. Either way you can't avoid it: you can't "out logic" the Mandela effect.
