From a little googling:
The Stove Top Stuffing brand was acquired by Kraft in 1995.
Nestlé had acquired Stouffer’s corporation in 1973, and there were various complicated reorganizations and shifting around of brands over the years. In the early 1990s Nestlé reorganized to leave Stouffer Corp. with frozen foods as its sole business.
So, with any conspiracy, I have to ask, who’s doing it and what do they have to gain?
Are these changes done for a reason, or are they errors in the Matrix? Are we supposing that the simulation that we are living in has a poorer memory than human memory, a memory I may point out, that is running on the same system that is having these errors?
Why is the conspiracy not that your mind is being tampered with, to give you false memories? That would be far easier than doing things like moving South America thousands of miles and convincing almost everyone that it’s always been that way.
I actually agree that Korea is moving. Just 27 years ago it was right beneath me and now its on the other side of the world.
I think O.P. is outing the Department of Diachronic Operations.
Also, like any conspiracy, why are “the powers” so terrible at their job? “Okay, lets change the name of the Berenstein Bears, but let a bunch of people remember how it was.”
You’re lucky - my peanut butter has disappeared entirely!
I wasn’t aware it was an argument. More shifting, I guess.
Where was it originally? (And is there a way to see this in Discourse?)
I thought the OP had started it in Great Debates (and wondered what we were supposed to be Debating), and wondered if it might be a better fit for MPSIMS.
We all know where it’s going to end up. Given the supernatural forces at play.
People really shouldn’t read Larry Niven while smoking weed.
This is what happens when you eat the red M&M, rather than the blue one.
There are and always were more than one version.
It’s not commonly known, but Dogs Playing Poker by Cassius Marcellus Coolidge refers to not just one painting, but 18 of them! The series includes the artist’s original Poker Game (1894) painting, along with 16 other oil paintings commissioned in 1903 by Brown & Bigelow to advertise cigars, and an additional 1910 painting. All eighteen of these paintings feature comical, humanized dogs; however, only eleven of the paintings actually depict poker-faced pups playing cards around a table.
Five seconds of Googling and an entire conspiracy theory disappears! Now that’s the way the world should always work.
The one with nuts.
This is the kind of conspiracy theory where it seems at first glance it would be fun to dig down and see what leads people astray. What is the evidence our OP touts when he writes:
This is something real I’m describing to anyone who will look at the evidence and see, maybe just maybe, that this is not just “False Memory Syndrome.”
And then it turns out the evidence is just “we remember it differently!” Perhaps sometimes a few citations deep in a “according to this website” references, but in the end it’s boring old “but how could I remember this so clearly if it’s not true!?”
I think that the inevitable answer to that is that some subset of those involved in implementing the conspiracy sabotage it as they want us to find out.
Don’t you mean MPTIMS?
My emphasis.
Or did “they” change that too while we weren’t looking?
Yes, as you can see in my OP, I am fully aware that “dogs playing poker” is a series of paintings, not just one painting.
However, the paintings that I and 100s of millions of other human beings distinctly recall detail for detail have been dramatically and completely altered.
Do you remember where you were when you first saw these paintings? Do you remember the context?
Pinterest is like hat.
Also: when I started this thread, I DID originally post it to MPSIMS. It was moved to GD by a moderator, who also warned me about the sketchy nature of my post.
I put this in MPSIMS because I was fully aware that this is one of those “Strange yet profound life-changing things that don’t need to start as a debate, merely an opinion of a guy who wants to casually begin a friendly, non-vitriolic convo on the subject.”
Ther was a famous anti apartheid activist who died in the 1970s - Stephen Biko - and there was a movie about him in the 1980s. People who only knew the name of one famous antiapartheid activist knew the name Biko. Later when Mandela became widely known, people knew the name Mandela - but remembered the fact that a famous antiapartheid activist was dead. Hence their confusion
