How you spell “The Berenstain Bears” could be proof of parallel universes
“You need to look up the Berenst#in Bears problem.”
It was this innocent comment left on a post about parallel universes that first pulled by Rob Schwarz of Stranger Dimensions into one of the internet’s strangest theories. It involves The Berenstein Bears, a loving family of anthropomorphized bears who taught children life lessons via hundreds of picture books and two TV shows. But the problem is they aren’t The Berenstein Bears, they’re The Berenstain Bears.
Though a startling number of people remember the name as BerenstEin, it’s in fact spelled BerenstAin, just like the authors Stan and Jan Berenstain. But is it possible that so many people are just wrong about the title? Back in 2012, blogger Reeceoffered up another explanation: Some of us have recently crossed over from a parallel universe.
He argues:
… at some time in the last 10 years or so, reality has been tampered with and history has been retroactively changed. The bears really were called the “BerenstEin Bears” when we were growing up, but now reality has been altered such that the name of the bears has been changed post hoc.
Somehow, we have all undergone a π/2 phase change in all 4 dimensions so that we moved to the stAin hexadectant, while our counterparts moved to our hexadectant (stEin). They are standing around expressing their confusion about the “Berenstein Bears” and how they all remember “Berenstain Bears” on the covers growing up.
Those who remember the name as “Berenstain” are native to this “A” Universe, while those who are sure it’s “Berenstein” traveled over from the “E” Universe.

This is… fucked up
Man couldn’t we have had a cooler dimensional change?
This is some Fringe shit here.
I want to believe. (And I do, because it was always BerenstEin Bears. I know, because I had all the books. I even read them to my kids, so the post-hoc reality change happened in the last 20 years.)

Remember all those promo pics that made it look like Mulder and Scully were going to the prom?
I’m coming up short on THE prom promo pics, but I’ve always felt they were part of a larger series, including (but not limited to):
fbi engagement photos

and, last but not least, fbi indie album cover.
fbi homecoming
fbi slavic 80s popstars
fbi weird theater kids

fbi Christmas card
I think this is one of the aforementioned FBI prom photos
