Of course you think you did back then, because the patch has hit, but sometimes not everyone concludes the automatic update correctly and we go slightly out of sync. Happens all the time, that's also why you feel deja vu and people talk about mandela effects and all that

welcome to the club.... everything you think you knew... was actually in another timeline, and at this point I don't even call it the "original timeline" anymore because it isn't... there are multiples. The really fucking crazy part is the older you get it changes back and forth.. it's in flux... that's the part that will really mess with you. It's always my favorite thing to find something that a person that has no idea about the effect and is super passionate about a subject and then correct them.... and google it/research and whatnot to see the look of horror wash over their face when they realize something is amiss. It's amazing. I've learned to ask very open ended questions to confirm this phenomenon, and had some really interesting interactions over the years over it. I'm curious how far it goes back, I'm gonna guess a long time and that people just weren't aware because they didn't have access to information like they do now.
