…and they assume that the pointing device is a mouse.

inspiration: I’m using a trackball with my left hand because of a broken button. The pointer shape doesn’t make sense since i’m not clicking with my right index finger.

    I thought the whole Mandela effect/Berinstain Bears thing was tongue in cheek satire about our faulty memories, but then again I thought flat earth was tongue in cheek satire.

      That’s how I treat it. I often use the phrase when I’m surprised to learn I remembered something wrong. I don’t actually believe I’ve traveled to an alternate dimension.

        I hope you guys are right and most people use it that way, and some small instances it’s kinda funny. But I fear the danger of being able to handwave away more important information as “it’s weird how our brains do that!” instead of crap, I need to pay more attention. Maybe a case by case thing I dunno.
