A story about being surprised by the Mandela effect, where ribs (rib bones) were connected.


Suddenly, I was watching an old lady's YouTube video, and she said, "I was surprised to see that the ribs were connected in the front, unlike before when they were separated." I wondered what she was talking about, so I searched for a picture of ribs, and it was actually connected, which surprised me.

... This might not make sense.

Like the old lady, I also thought that the ribs were separated.

To put it in stages, when I was a child, in elementary school, the ribs on TV seemed to protrude from the front of the body and were not connected in the middle. They were quite separated. So, people who had accidents or fights would have their ribs break and pierce their lungs, which was a terrible thing. I vividly remember those painful images, so I don't think I'm mistaken. Also, the commentators on TV explained that broken ribs could pierce the lungs and be dangerous, with diagrams. So, at that time, I thought the ribs were simply extending from the front of the body and were not connected in the middle. It was probably over 30 years ago.

However, when I saw it on TV in junior high or high school, the front part of the ribs extended quite far forward, almost as if they were about to connect to the middle bone. They might have been a little connected. At that time, I felt an immense sense of unease, and I remember thinking, "Wait, weren't the ribs more separated? Were they this close?" I remember feeling very uncomfortable.

When I was little, I was fascinated by how the front of the chest didn't have any bones and I watched it with great interest. It's strange that bones suddenly appeared later.

Now, when I search, some bone specimens still have the front part disconnected, so it's possible that I just happened to see one of those, and they were always connected. Of course, it's also possible that it's just a misunderstanding.

However, when I vividly felt the sense of unease in high school and looked at X-ray images and specimen photos, the ribs were only slightly connected at the front, but now, when I look at them, they are firmly connected, which is very strange.

In high school, they weren't connected as firmly as they are now, and when I was in elementary school, they were quite separated.

In high school, I felt uneasy about this, and I still feel uneasy about it. However, I don't have any definitive proof that this is the Mandela effect. I just think it might be.

In terms of timing, I had a few out-of-body experiences in late elementary school, and I traveled through time and space, seeing the future and the past, and redesigning my life. Perhaps, when I returned, I might have accidentally entered the wrong timeline. There's no way to verify it now.

Also, things that were supposed to happen didn't happen, so there's a decent chance that I'm in a different timeline.
