The Mandela Effect

Do you believe in the so-called Mandela Effect - a phenomenon in which many people remember events or facts differently from how evidence shows them?

The Mandela Effect is one of the most fascinating phenomena of modern culture. Thousands of people around the world remember things almost identically, even though they never actually happened. A different logo, a different movie ending, a different date of a famous person’s death. Could it be that our reality and consciousness are capable of shifting between parallel worlds? Scientists explain it as memory errors and autosuggestion, while internet users see it as proof of a multiverse, manipulations in history, or CERN experiments. So who’s really tinkering with our reality – ourselves, or something science doesn’t know about or refuses to admit?

Karma, curses, and spells

Do you believe in karma, curses, spells, or that someone’s envy could have caused something in your life to “go wrong”?

Do you believe in karma, curses, and spells? For some, these are old superstitions from the days when people feared witches and blamed their failures on the “evil eye.” For others, they are real phenomena explaining strange coincidences, sudden illnesses, or streaks of bad luck. The modern world mocks magic, yet the internet is full of energy-cleansing rituals, protective amulets, and theories about karmic retribution. Psychologists will say it’s self-suggestion, while esotericists claim that energy always seeks balance. But why do we sometimes feel as if an invisible force is working against us?

The Great Flood

Since almost every culture and its ancient stories include the motif of a great flood, do you think such an event really took place in Earth's history?

The motif of the great flood has fired people’s imagination for thousands of years across all continents. In Sumerian myths, the Bible, Indian epics, or the legends of South American Indians, almost the same scenario appears – the wrath of the gods, a water catastrophe, and a handful of survivors who begin the world anew. Is it possible that humanity preserved the memory of one real cataclysm that truly swept across the Earth? Scientists speak of local floods after the Ice Age, while conspiracy theorists point to ancient civilizations drowned by the ocean. So where does this consistency of myths come from? Is it a collective memory of a global tragedy, or merely a symbolic tale of humanity’s cleansing?

Life after death and reincarnation

Do you believe that life after death or reincarnation exists?

Life after death and reincarnation are topics that constantly ignite emotions and challenge the limits of human understanding. For some, death is only a passage – a door to a new incarnation or a spiritual dimension. For others, it is the end, with no return and no point in searching further. Memories of past lives, near-death experiences, and mysterious energetic phenomena fuel imagination and belief that consciousness does not extinguish. Does judgment after death, reincarnation, or the illusion of eternity created by our desperate brain truly exist? Or perhaps each of these visions contains a fragment of truth? Answer the poll and decide what you really believe in.

Disabling comments by news portals

Why are major news outlets (e.g. BBC, CNN, The Guardian) increasingly limiting or completely disabling article comments?

The growing trend of disabling comments on major news portals stirs strong emotions. Some see it as a reasonable step against the flood of hate, fake news, and online trolls; others – as a cynical attempt to silence the public voice. Once, the comment section was a vibrant forum for debate; today, it’s disappearing in the name of “safety” and “reader comfort.” Is it really about discussion culture – or narrative control? Conspiracy theories speak of censorship driven by advertisers or politicians. The question remains: who decides today what we are allowed to think and say online? Take part in the poll and share your opinion.

Ritual slaughter

Do you think ritual slaughter (without stunning animals before death, in accordance with religious laws derived from the Old Testament and Muslim tradition) should be allowed?

Ritual slaughter without stunning animals is a topic that returns every few years like a boomerang, sparking heated debates between animal rights defenders, clergy, and politicians. Some see it as a sacred right to religious freedom, others as an archaic ritual that should disappear in a civilized world. The facts are clear: an animal killed without stunning feels pain, but followers of Judaism and Islam claim that this method has deep spiritual meaning and ensures the purity of food. Yet should spirituality justify suffering when humans have long known how to kill more “humanely”?
