Gremlins


Do you remember the leader of the bad Gremlins name as Stripe or Spike?

I'm absolutely convinced of his name.... and I've just learned that it's the wrong one!

I refuse to believe this.

Wish I'd kept my vhs copy now so I could check it πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

What do you remember?

Stripe

I know it's stripe now after thinking it was spike and reading online that it's a common misconception.

Yeah I was watching a video on YouTube about different Mandella Effects and this was one.

Can't believe it!

"Wish I'd kept my vhs copy now so I could check it"

If it's a Mandela Effect, then that wouldn't help, because it would be "Stripe" in your old VHS copy now, even if it was "Spike" when you last watched it, unless you subscribe to the mainstream "explanation" that the Mandela Effect is just a mass false memory phenomenon, in which case it was definitely always "Stripe" on your old VHS copy according to that weak "explanation."

"Mandela Effect psyop could be very easily faked by Intel Agencies."

It isn't possible to fake it because it isn't possible for them to, e.g., surreptitiously break into everyone's house and replace their old media (books, VHS tapes, etc.) with different media that's identical except for one difference. They would have no way of even knowing where all that old media is, so they couldn't even get their foot in the door on that impossible project.

For example, if Jane Doe from Idaho bought some Berenstein/Berenstain Bears books in 1995 at a yard sale, how would any of the intel agencies possibly know about it? Repeat that problem millions of times to cover all of the possible old media and other things out there that are relevant to the Mandela Effect. Then add on top of that the massive logistics problem of manufacturing millions of "updated" replacements for the wide variety of old stuff out there, each one of them being unique so as to match the level of wear and tear, pen or pencil markings, etc., that will vary widely among the originals, as well as all of the breaking and entering they'd have to do without ever getting caught.

One of the best Mandela Effect cases is the guy who painted the Flute of the Loom album cover. There's a video about it here - https://youtu.be/HQQ4fNwwfzg (it says that's a follow-up video so I guess there's an earlier video about it too). He says he used a Fruit of the Loom T-shirt's label to go by when he painted that cover, and it had a cornucopia on it, which is why he included the cornucopia-shaped flute in his painting. I also remember the cornucopia on the FotL label, and it's the reason that I thought a "loom" looked like a horn-shaped basket when I was a little kid. I read "Fruit of the Loom" on the label and I could see the fruit, but I didn't know what a "loom" was, so I figured it must be that horn-shaped basket thing behind the fruit on the label (it's actually a cornucopia; a word that I knew nothing of when I was ~5 years old).

So you think the intel agencies ran around and stole everyone's old FotL underwear and T-shirts and replaced them with versions that had no cornucopia on the label? How did they find them all? How did they manufacture replacements that matched the individual level of wear and tear, stains, holes, sizes, amount of yellowing/discoloration, etc., for each one? And how did they do it without anyone noticing them doing it?

"No you just change the new media."

That wouldn't work at all, because it would be as easy as falling off a log for people to post pictures and videos of the old media showing that there's been a change. The problem is, when people go look at their old books, VHS tapes, etc., they find that they are different than they remember.

"Then put out operatives across the net to say its always been that way and they are changing history with their "Hidden Time Traveling Technology" [...]

Again, that wouldn't work (see above). Also, "time traveling technology" is only one of many "theories" people have come up with to explain the Mandela Effect, and it's not even the most popular one. The most popular one is that Cern's activities are causing it, especially since some Cern employees posted pictures of themselves online years ago making oblique references to various Mandela Effects, like this one:

He has two signs; one says "BOND #1" and the other says "Mandela," as well as a piece of paper that says, "We are HAPPY @ Cern!" The first James Bond actor was Barry Nelson:

Barry Nelson (born Robert Haakon Nielsen; April 16, 1917 – April 7, 2007) was an American actor, noted as the first actor to portray Ian Fleming's secret agent James Bond.

"Nelson" is also Mandela's first name, the guy for whom the Mandela Effect was named.

"Mandela Effect is something that can be faked"

No, it can't, and I've already explained why. If it's being faked like you said then I could just go upstairs and get one of those Fruit of the Loom T-shirts I had screen-printed about 20 years ago and see a cornucopia on the label, and countless other people could do the same thing with countless Mandela Effect items, but there is no cornucopia on the label now.

"You are missing the point."

No, I'm not. You said, "Mandela Effect psyop could be very easily faked by Intel Agencies," and that is the point of contention; that is the only point of contention. Again, it can't be faked at all, let alone easily, and I've explained why.

"Its not to fake Mandela its to mess with peoples minds and get them to second guess their own reality. It doesnt work on everyone but it works on people that are easily influenced by... INFLUENCERS."

It's impossible to fake the Mandela Effect, which makes this paragraph of yours irrelevant, and the rest of your post irrelevant as well, because there is nothing in your entire post which refutes, nor even addresses, the fact that it's impossible to fake the Mandela Effect.

"Fake the "Psyop" The "Mandela Effect Psyop""

There's no such thing as faking a psyop. If the Mandela Effect is a psyop then it's a real psyop with the Mandela Effect being the thing that's faked. You already said:

"No you just change the new media. Then put out operatives across the net to say its always been that way and they are changing history with their "Hidden Time Traveling Technology"."

That would be an example of a real psyop with the goal of faking the Mandela Effect, but like I said, it's impossible to fake the Mandela Effect. In your example, just changing the new media is irrelevant to the Mandela Effect, because that would just be a case of ordinary changes, evidenced by all the old media remaining unchanged. In order for it to be a Mandela Effect, the old media, etc., has to change too.

"I cant believe this is so difficult for you to understand."

That's comically ironic, coming from the most confused and thick-headed person I've encountered online in quite a spell. You claimed the Mandela Effect is just a psyop; I explained why that isn't possible; you didn't refute anything I said and continued on with your psyop nonsense.

Then you said you were talking about "fake the psyop," even though faking a psyop doesn't even make sense. A psyop involves disseminating fake/misleading/loaded information; so what the hell would a "fake psyop" be? Disseminating true information? LOL at that.

"You dont want to have a conversation you just want to argue."

More comical irony from you. The conversation should have been over when I told you it that it's impossible to fake the Mandela Effect. The only way it's possible for it to be a "psyop" is if someone is intentionally causing the Mandela Effect with technology that would be considered sci-fi by the mainstream scientific community. It's certainly not possible for it to be a conventional psyop like you've been trying to argue.

"I told you nevermind and it wasnt worth arguing about."

Unfortunately for you, you're not a moderator or administrator here, so that carried exactly zero weight.

"What was so hard to understand about that?"

Your non sequitur is dismissed.

"Whos the confused and thick headed one here?"

You are. I already told you that.

"Also rude and arrogant BTW."

More comical irony, coming from the dullard who was "rude and arrogant" before I said anything that could be considered as such.

"Look Ive been polite and considerate to you long enough clown. Im not going to continue this so you can try to dumb me to death with you ignorance."

Comical Irony Alert: Parts III & IV

"Go spend some time reading Phycological Warfare Operations manuals and you will learn pretty quickly how multi layered they are."

Why would I do that? Psychological warfare operations have precisely fuckall to do with the Mandela Effect. Everything you've said about them has been off-topic, i.e., a non sequitur. You have yet to explain how a psyop could be behind the Mandela Effect, aside from the following laughable and easily refuted assertion of yours:

"No you just change the new media. Then put out operatives across the net to say its always been that way and they are changing history with their "Hidden Time Traveling Technology".

"You are not grasping what I was explaining just talking out your rear and trying to instigate arguments for your goal of creating chaos in a forum. NO SALE. NOT INTERESTED."

This is another non sequitur from you, as well as Comical Irony Alert: Part V. Nothing you typed is difficult to "grasp" at all; the problem is that it's all off-topic, which indicates that you're not the fastest horse in the stable.

"Get some therapy if this venting and shitstarting is your pastime. Go for a walk. Play Sudoku... whatever. LEARN SOME MANNERS and try to avoid these emotional outbursts you have. Im not an online therapist."

Your non sequitur is dismissed, and this is Comical Irony Alert: Part VI for you, given that I haven't used any emotive language nor other indicators of emotion at all, while you keep typing things in all caps.

"I dont do the conversing with hyperemotional wackjobs on the internet stuff"

Your non sequitur is dismissed and this is Comical Irony Alert: Part VII for you, Captain Caps Lock.

"Until then you can go on ignore cupcake. Im finished with you."

Your tacit concession is noted and your resignation is accepted.

Yeah I know, I just wanted to see an original copy to prove it to myself.

I don't recall hearing Stripe at all. To me he's always been Spike. Not seen gremlins in decades so I'd like the proof of an 80s copy of the film.

reply

I haven't seen it enough times to remember either way. I've seen it once for sure, maybe 5 or 6 years ago, and I might have seen it once when I was a kid in the '80s.

The main thing I remember about it from when I watched it 5 or 6 years ago is the Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) song by Darlene Love. I thought it was awesome and after I finished the movie I looked that song up and ended up watching 2 hours' worth of Darlene Love singing it live on David Letterman every year from 1994-2014 (plus 1986):

https://youtu.be/8V2IrH1owdw

Some of her live performances sounded better than her original studio recording IMO, i.e., the earlier ones in that video before age started taking its toll on her vocal range.
