Normal people: Serling. Although it’s often understandably confused with ‘Sterling’ as that’s a more familiar word and sounds very similar.

Idiots: No, no, no, I am from a parallel universe.

If I came from a parallel universe and the only difference is an easily mistaken spelling of a name I'd be quite disappointed.

Is it actually a Mandela Effect if you've just forgotten what a guy's name is? I always thought it was more about mass confabulations.

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 11 points 9 months ago

I don't even know the guys name.

But yeah, Mandela effect is everyone believing something that differs from reality. Like Berenstain Bears being remembered as Berenstein.

[-] FriendOfElphaba@sh.itjust.works 19 points 9 months ago

Rod Serling, right?

[-] Lophostemon@aussie.zone 2 points 9 months ago

Sterling.

No I won’t accept any other answers.

[-] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 13 points 9 months ago

Jordan Peele?

[-] ristoril_zip@lemmy.zip 10 points 9 months ago

I mean Serling and Sterling are so close it seems stupid to me to call it Mandela effect. More like humans gonna human.

[-] Protoknuckles@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Rod Sterling

[-] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 9 months ago

My first thought was "Sterling something"

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 6 points 9 months ago

Archer, is that you?

[-] Karlos_Cantana@kbin.social 4 points 9 months ago

Woodhouse is actually the one who narrated Twilight Zone, although Archer would sometimes make guest appearances. I think OP is trying to say that nobody will remember that.

Rod Serling

[-] Pratai@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 months ago

How is this a Mandela effect when everyone knows what the correct answer is?

[-] HopeOfTheGunblade@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago

Rod Serling? Answering before I read comments.

[-] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 3 points 9 months ago

Yes, my first thought was Rod Sterling, but also I've been corrected on how to say his name my entire life.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Marlon Wayans.

Orson Welles? D:
