A question about bears?

Correct me If I am wrong please.

" 'Stein" or " 'Stain" Most remembering it as " 'Stein" even though today it is spelled with " 'Stain" ........I was like, what? 8 years old? I really could care less on how it was or wasn't spelled way back when.....So....Again...I am failing to see what the point is to this topic? What else am I missing?

The only thing you and I are missing, is not understanding his words. If BryanJerome does not understand his own question, then maybe we should help him. Just an idea how BryanJerome can help us in understanding.. sharing more details about the topic.

What do you want to know?
What is the purpose of the topic?
Why do you say Berentain and not Berenstein?
Why talking with so much capital letters?
Should the topic be renamed?

Please understand me well, I am confused. I do not know what you try to ask, I guess no person does know what you are trying to explain. Most people here will like to understand you. Please help us to understand what you are trying to say. We are here to help you, not to be flooded with capital letters..

Hope you can understand my point of view, I feel confused about a question :blink: Thank you

Oh. This is not what you guys are thinking.

Bryan is referring to an internet argument whereby people in mass quantities remember Berenstein bears because of the way it was pronounced.

People think it's a conspiracy that the name was "changed" to be Berenstain... *shrugs*

I don't really get the point.

Yea.....I pointed that conflict out.

Well....except for the Conspiracy....I guess again....who cares? I mean....its not like some conspiracy to blow up the twin towers or anything or.....is it? :dry: :silly: :whistle:

I do not understand anything about this topic anymore now.. Guess minding about what this topic is, would be a good topic?

Well, this was a weird topic.

But yeah, I remember a book called Bernstein Bears - emphasis on the stein.
I don't see the special relevance either, but hey. I do remember once running across some contention a few years ago on some random part of the internet regarding the name, but it never seemed that important. Still, it's funny enough: I just wish that the topic had been opened with more clarity, lol.

Here's a funny post on someone's blog about this though. It has some funny theories in it.

It relates to the Mandela effect:

http://www.buzzfeed.com/perpetua/mandela-effect

What he is referring to is a concept that is discussed at length in a book called The Mandela Effect. Essentially, there are massive numbers of people who very vividly recall that Nelson Mandela died rotting in prison in the early eighties- They had the experience of being totally flabbergasted when he was recently announced to have died, because so many of them had such a vivid recall of that "prison death" event in the media in the 80's. They came together and found that they all seemed to remember the same sort of "alternate history" with uncanny similarities, and the book was written. I have yet to read it, however many hypotheses touched upon are alternate timelines merging, intervention via time travel, and social experimentation/mind manipulation vis a vis MKULTRA and whatnot.

The whole Berenstain Bears thing is just one of many of the particularly strange nexuses of mass memory/history incongruity. For the record, until I had learned about the Mandela Effect and it's associated events, I too, had always remembered them as the Berenstein Bears - I even pronounced it strangely, like "burn-steen". It is a fascinating topic when you look at the sheer number of people all apparently suffering from the same false memories before having ever even heard of the Mandela Effect. Now whether or not there is a metaphysical, quantum mechanical, conspiratorial, or mass hallucinatory, answer lying at its cause, or whether some peoples minds are similar enough that they tend to have similarly faulty memory recall points, it's all speculation at this point.

But still fascinating nonetheless.

Mm.. I wonder, what does the bear story have to do with this effect? Do you say that their story was forgotten, but reproduced in a other way? To find out that there were two different understandings of the same story? Two different books?

The weird thing is, in my post about the writer, you see berenstain, on the background.. It would not explain why they use 'ain' and 'ein'. If it is switched, it would be during the (late) life of the writers.. :blush:

I'm wondering what the substance of this thread and discussion is? I post some different ideas and thoughts but I'm not connecting with this other than discourse on minutiae. What am I missing?
