Every Real-Life Glitch Explained in 11 Minutes

Deja Vu The Accidental save reload you walk into a cafe the clatter of a tray the low hum of conversation the Barista calling out an order a name you already know before she says it a black cat dashes past your legs and then it hits you you have seen this before exactly this you don't just recognize the moment you remember what happens next the man at the window will check his watch the woman at the counter will drop her keys in 10 seconds the door will swing open but you already know who's coming through science

say Deja Vu is a glitch a brain misfire a small processing error where your mind accidentally Flags the present as a past memory and if Deja Vu is just a brain error why does it feel so eerily accurate some believe Deja Vu isn't a glitch at all it's proof that time isn't linear that you've lived this moment before that maybe you are in a loop or worse you've died in another timeline and if that's true how many times have you already been here Mandela effect reality patches while your AFK let's do a test does Pikachu

have a black tip on his tail think carefully you've seen Pikachu a thousand times on cards and games and movies you know what he looks like so yes or no if you said yes congratulations you've just experienced the Mandela effect Pikachu has never had a black tip on his tail not in the games not in the anime not anywhere and yet millions of people swear he did all right let's try another one does the Monopoly man man wear a monocle of course he does you've seen him the rich old man with a top hat a

suit and that little monocle over his eye except he doesn't he never has the Mandela effect is the strange phenomenon where large groups of people all remember something one way only to find out that it never existed like that at least not anymore the name comes from Nelson Mandela huge numbers of people remember him dying in prison in the 1980s they recall watching the funeral on TV seeing the headlines even discussing it in school except that never happened he was released went on to become president of South Africa and died in 2013 so how do

millions of people share the same false memory the official explanation is that human memory is bad it's faulty unreliable a few people misremember something then they tell others and before long the false memory spreads like a virus if so many people remember things one way but history says otherwise what if history changed what if these are updates to reality small serers side patches that overwrite the past but leave behind a few glitches what if you just didn't get the update some believe this is proof that we're shifting between alternate timelines that every so often we

move into a slightly different version of reality but our memories don't fully sink others think this is just bad maintenance reality gets patched but the developers missed a few details now either way if you ever notice something changing that shouldn't be able to change it's already too late missing time time the desync error it's 3:02 p.m. you blink now it's 3:47 p.m. you didn't move you didn't check your phone you weren't distracted but somehow 45 minutes have disappeared the official term is highway hypnosis when your brain zones out and drives an autopilot it happens on

Long repetitive roads the idea is that your brain is awake but your memory stops recording sounds reasonable except some people experience missing time when they're not driving they'll be sitting at home watching TV and suddenly it's night a person cleaning their kitchen looks up at the clock and finds an hour missing some say it happens when they're midc conversation they'll be talking to a friend and suddenly the other person is looking at them weird like they just stopped talking for 5 minutes some people say that during missing time they get the feeling that something else

was happening but they just aren't supposed to remember it's like someone edited the footage trimmed down the timeline remove the parts that it didn't make the cut things we were never to see bystander effect when NPCs refuse to trigger the next event you're walking down a busy street a person collapses they hit the ground completely unconscious a crowd starts forming and nobody moves you wait for someone to help maybe a doctor maybe a Good Samaritan but instead everyone just stands there watching that's the bystander effect a bizarre glitch where the more people there are the

less likely anyone is to do something because everyone assumes someone else will take action but because everyone assumes that nobody does and it gets weirder there are cases where entire groups of people have just stood there watching something horrible happen even when it would have been extremely easy to help a person choking in a restaurant a woman being attacked in broad daylight even a drowning child nobody wants to be the first to move nobody wants to take responsibility it's like they're all stuck in an idol animation waiting for a main character interaction and what if

just for a second we consider the possibility that this isn't just human psychology what if some people really do function like NPCs what if some only activate when they're directly prompted and if that's true then the next time you're in a crowd look around is everyone really playing the same game as you doppelgangers the NPC cloning bug imagine walking down the street and seeing yourself not a lookalike not a twin you same face same outfit same movements at first your brain scrambles for a logical explanation a coincidence a weird reflection but then it looks at

you and you realize it knows throughout history people have reported seeing their own double and it's almost never a good thing one of the most famous cases was Abraham Lincoln a few days before his assassination he reportedly saw his own reflection in a mirror except there were two of them one looked normal the other was ghostly pale his wife naturally did the reasonable thing and decided this meant he was going to die and then well we all know how that turned out now maybe Lincoln was tired maybe his brain just filled in an extra image

or maybe it's just a glitch in the system maybe reality accidentally rendered two copies of you for a moment maybe you just got a glimpse of yourself from another timeline or maybe something else is trying to take your place either way if you ever see someone who looks exactly like you walk the other way fast sleep paralysis the force cut scene you can't skip it happens in the middle of the night your eyes snap open you can see your room your ceiling the faint glow of the street light outside everything is normal except you can't

move not a single muscle your arms your legs completely locked you try to call for help but your voice won't come out and then you feel it a presence standing at the edge of your bed this is sleep paralysis and if you haven't experienced it yet congratulations you've avoided one of the worst free trial experiences that the human body has to offer people describe it as being trapped inside your own body science calls it a simple sleep cycle disruption during REM sleep the body is in a state of muscle atonia to prevent acting out dreams

and if you break this sleep your brain wakes up but your muscles are still paralyzed it's supposed to last a few seconds maybe a minute at most but to the people experiencing it it can feel like a lifetime and here's where it gets weird because for some reason sleep paralysis doesn't just come with paralysis it comes with company people across different cultures across history across completely separate parts of the world all describe seeing the exact same thing a dark silhouette watching them if this is just a random brain glitch why are millions of people hallucinating

the exact same thing there are two possible answers one the human brain is hardwired to hallucinate terrifying figures when it's in this state a cruel little evolutionary prank to designed to make an already terrible experience even worse or two these things are always there and sleep paralysis is just the one time you actually able to see them spontaneous human combustion the self-destruct glitch imagine you're sitting in your living room reading a book sipping some tea nothing out of the ordinary then without warning you burst into flames not like you knocked over a candle Flames not

like your clothes caught fire flames no you ignite from the inside out and by the time someone finds you there's nothing left but a pile of Ash and maybe a pair of legs that somehow survived this is spontaneous human combustion one of the strangest most unsettling phenomena ever recorded science has a lot of answers but on this one they're beat some halfast explanations include the wick effect where body fat acts like candle wax slowly burning the person over time but if that's the case why does it sometimes stop halfway take Margaret Hogan for example an

unusually hot 89 9-year-old Widow from Dublin on March the 28th 1970 she was found burned almost to nothing in her home the plastic flowers on the table had melted into sludge and the television screen 12 ft away was warped beyond recognition and yet her feet and both legs below the knees were untouched an inquest was held the official cause of death burning the cause of the fire unknown which means either one the human body has a hidden self-destruct button two some people accidentally trigger an irreversible System error three reality occasionally just Al to four people

in the most dramatic way possible whichever one it is the conclusion is the same if one day you start feeling a little too warm and you're nowhere near an open flame you might have about 3 seconds to figure out why Quantum immortality the real life respawn glitch you should be dead that car missed you by inches lucky maybe or maybe you just don't die Quantum immortality is the idea that every time you die your Consciousness jumps not to Heaven not to hell but to the nearest reality where you survived from your perspective you never die

you just keep waking up in timelines where you barely made it take FR cello a man who should have died multiple times in 1954 his Train derailed into an icy River 17 people drowned he didn't the next year he was sucked out of a plane mid-flight and landed in a hay stack then a bus crash mult multiple car crashes a car explosion and finally he won the lottery from his perspective he never died and that's the terrifying part if quantum immortality is real then you will never experience your own death the versions of you that

died you don't remember them because they're gone but what happens when there's no timeline left where you survive is there a final game over or does reality just keep you going and if that's the case how long have you actually been alive thanks for watching make sure to give the video a like bye
