For the longest time I thought that Bohemian Rhapsody contained the lyrics: 'It's the law, we will not let him go'
But apparently the lyrics have always been: 'Inshallah, we will not let him go'

This is extremely funny to me because not only was I a raging Queen fan as a teenager, but this song in particular was something of a recurring meme in my social group so I read the lyrics and sang it hundreds of times

I am not saying the Mandela Effect is real, but if it isn't then I literally can't trust a single one of my memories

It's not 'inshallah' and 'him', it's 'bismillah' and 'you'. Anyway, 'bismillah' is an Islamic phrase too. I can maybe explain why you thought it was something else, because it's one of the best examples that come to my mind of religious censorship of song lyrics where I'm from.

How it worked here is that record shops stocked albums like normal, but if they contained lyrics deemed 'inappropriate' by 'moral volunteer' watchdog groups, they blacked out those words from the booklets with a sharpie. It was mostly swear words and sexual terms, but religious words were often censored too unless it was the exact religious denomination of those watchdog groups or close enough. So you'd have to listen for what the censored words were. When I was a kid, it was an easy and fun way to learn all the 'bad words', so ironically by censoring those words they drew attention to them.

Bohemian Rhapsody was one of the songs with religious censorship, but as kids we argued if it was that or something else. Kids who knew the word 'bismillah' heard it but others insisted it couldn't be because Queen aren't Muslims, and that's also why I assumed it must be something else even though I heard it. Only as an adult I was fully convinced it's really 'bismillah'. There are still people who claim it isn't, it's silly. Could be something like this is why you thought it was something else too.

Of course in the internet age this type of censorship is not very effective and I think only one of the three record stores here still does it, and one of them never did but when I was a kid there was a tattoo parlour and a panty pub on the same street so kids weren't allowed on that street at all. I still remember when I was 15, and for the first time my parents let me go to that record store. Every time I went to that record store, I always stopped to look into the panty pub through the window both on my way to the store and on my way back.

Like  said, it was always bismillah, not inshallah.

FFS people, it's not Mandela Forfeit, it's just your shit memory. The only two real Manding Effort were the woman with brace in that 007 movie (watched as a kid, yeah she had clearly braces) and the Fruit of the Loom cornucopia. All the rest is just shit memory.

If you've experienced the effect yourself in two instances, why would you assume all the others are bullshit? Why not that other people are here from a different dimension where for them those things WERE different?
I've never experienced a single one and I have a hard time seeing any of it as anything more than poor memory.
