This isn't a real book cover. You can tell because it's supposed to say Berenstein bears

[-] fiddlesticks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 2 days ago

It's berenstain because the predator is gonna turn them into a stain

Hello, fellow refugee from a better timeline.

So are they

[-] Red1@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days ago

It's the Mandela effect; People remember it as the Bearenstein Bears, but it's Bearenstain and it doesn't feel right. I want to go back to my 'verse

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Occam's razor suggests that it can't possibly be the fact that -stein is a much more common name ending and since it's children's media most people will have last read the name while still a child and likely never realize that it was specifically a, therefore misremembering the name assuming it was an e. look how long it even took me to type. convoluted, complex theory.

rather the answer must be the simplest: a break in the spacetime continuum.

"Oh look. It's raining again."

[-] fluxion@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

It actually is just Berenstein and everyone else in the world just has a shit memory and bootleg merchandise

[-] Omnipitaph@reddthat.com 4 points 2 days ago

I legit still have my books from when I was a kid. Berenstien. My friend also has their books from when they were a kid. Berenstain. We argued about it off and on for like a decade before we finally settled it. We only have one book in common, a halloween one, but other than that we have no idea what happened. They were printed in different years, but why would that matter??? IDK, it is a mystery.

[-] tamal3@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I could really use a picture of both books, preferably together (but either way). It would really help me talk to my neighbor who brings up the Mandela effect at least 5x per year.

[-] Omnipitaph@reddthat.com 1 points 2 days ago

I'll see if I can track her down. She moved to the UK for university about 6 years ago, but I doubt she brought all her childhood stuff with her(her whole family is still in southern California). My stuff is in storage near Washington at the moment, but I should be going up there before December to nab some stuff.

I bet the photos we took are in those boxes too xD

[-] Rolive@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 days ago

I'm my universe it's not Berenstain or Berenstein.

! It's Bloodstain !<

[-] gnomesaiyan@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

Fuck it, I'm gonna say it: the Predator's laser targeting system doesn't do damage. That comes from the shoulder-mounted cannon.

[-] JimVanDeventer@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago

This is one of those Mandela Effect things. It’s actually spelled Preaeadeatour. Most people mix that up.

[-] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 27 points 2 days ago

Sister Bear: You're hit! You're bleeding, man.

Brother Bear: I ain't got time to bleed.

[-] MohamedMoney@feddit.org 20 points 2 days ago

Brother Bear: This stuff’ll make you a goddamn sexual tyrannosaurus, just like me.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

60% of the time, it works every time.

spits chewing tobacco in a sexual tyrannosaurussy way

E: God dann i missed the other comment referencing that omega cringe line

[-] espentan@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago

Luckily help is on its' way!

[-] Flames5123@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

This looks like AI and Lemmy hates AI.

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

People don't have a problem with the Predator shooting an eye-beam out of its nose so...

[-] beemikeoak@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 2 days ago

This is AI trying to figure out who the old fucks are. I remember watching these bears in black and white TV. You had to wait a few seconds for the vacuum tubes to heat up. If you didn't like it you could clack clack the top knob to one of 13 different channels.

[-] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

I was jealous of fancy city folks with their 13 channels all showing essentially the same thing. I only had 3 channels essentially showing the same thing.

[-] beemikeoak@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 2 days ago

Same here, I forgot about that. That's right, you can go to channel, 2, 6, 12. Everything else was static...which you could watch if you want to.

[-] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

Yes. The thirteen positions on the dial seemed to be the product of rampant optimism.

But I imagine some lucky city kid had several additional watching options.

[-] beemikeoak@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 1 day ago

Wasn't there a third knob for more channels? I remember having an old green screen that had a double knob on it for that. I don't remember the number of channels possible though.

[-] SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 15 points 2 days ago

After the Archie one, I can believe anything.

As a mobile user with large fingers, I don't like what you did there

[-] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 days ago

Yep, I've been trying to open it for a minute, i don't think it's going to happen.

[-] sbv@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

I had no idea that existed. Thank you.

[-] BabyVi@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

My childhood best friend would make parody versions of these books in elementary school by tracing the pictures and modifying them. Pretty amusing how violent and sarcastic a child's imagination can get.

[-] Sergio@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

tracing the pictures and modifying them

some activists made an entirely new issue of Tintin that way...

[-] BabyVi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Neat, thanks for sharing! :-)

[-] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

FYI the Predator only fights opponents who are strong and honorable to fight. So with that being said what is the body count of the Berenstain Bears?

[-] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

Title doesn't really fit the pattern of the real books; too many words/syllables. "... Get Hunted" or "... meet The Predator" would be more plausible titles.

[-] Etterra@discuss.online 1 points 1 day ago

I like it. The art style always creeped me out a little ass a kid.

[-] SurfinBird@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

The faces on mom & the kids. Lmfao

[-] huppakee@feddit.nl 3 points 2 days ago

Show this if you find someone who believes ai doesn't bring any good to this world.

[-] SPRUNT@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I was expecting the predator to be Trump or some other celebrity pedophile.

[-] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 days ago

That doesn’t look like donvict chump

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 days ago

Boy, whatever the mom and kids are looking at must be pretty bad if it has their attention more than a Predator!
