Now people can see why the Sunflowers no longer face the Sun. It is not natural to them anymore. | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-19-08 |
That we've had a white dwarf star this whole time? Maybe the distance to our local star is off. There's lots of interesting mind-bending possibilities other than "it's a bigger white star, that's as big as yellow stars." | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-19-08 |
I feel like the moon used to appear tiny when it was near the zenith, and huge when it was near the horizon. Now it appears bigger and there's less variation. I know the size difference is caused by atmospheric distortion. Has the atmosphere changed? | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-19-08 |
Yea, that's why I said the sun simulator theory is implausible. It seems like you would have to believe in some conflicting ideas to make it work. But I dont discount the theory entirely. I think their might be a little truth hidden there somewhere.
It's kinda strange that you don't remember the sun as a child, unless I am the strange one. As someone who has spent a majority of their life in the sun, and someone who does things like sun gazing and such, I remember the yellow sun very, very clearly. I used to be that kid who would look into the sun simply because I was told not too.
More than that, though, is the feeling the sun has now. I've spent a very large portion of my life within the same 20 ish miles (I traveled the world for about 8 years of my life and went right back "home") so the sun I am getting should be very similar to how it's always been, and it's not. This new suns UV radiation/energy is wayyyy hotter and harsher. It feels like a heat lamp. The old sun was much cooler and gentle. I used to be able to look at the morning sun for a good long while, but now it's almost within 15 minutes of it rising its to bright and intense to look at. I used to be able to spend a couple hours outside without burning, and now I start to burn within 30 min of going outside. And I remember when it changed. And for me, it wasn't that long ago.
People discount these experiences like they are somehow the result of aging bodies, but the thing is is that I am friends with a bunch of boomers (that are 20-30 years my senior) and even they are saying things like it didn't used to be like that, and they noticed a change more recently, and that they don't recall the sun feeling so intense when they were "my age". So I personally have ruled out that explanation. | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-19-08 |
Maybe the sun hasn’t changed at all, rather decades of heavy metal polluting chemtrails have officially distorted our views of the heavens. | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-19-08 |
I'm 60 years old. I have a lifelong memory of sitting in our backyard as a child and just having a moment of really appreciating the warmth and beauty of the yellow sun and being aware of just how yellow it was.
This was in southern California and probably early 70's. I always had an appreciation for beauty, even as a kid. We lived near the beach so experienced lots of cool breezes so the warmth of the sun was a nice juxtaposition.
And of course in every picture of an outdoor scene that I drew with crayons, I had a big yellow sun peaking down from one of the top corners of the paper. | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-19-08 |

I feel like that's not what this is because OP said their old textbook changed from saying yellow to white. Sounds more like something was retconned in reality or we jumped timelines | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-19-08 |
Lol I had a full freakout about a moonless night last year. It was 3am & no moon in sight. I ended up calling my friend being like "dude where is the moon?! I've been waiting all night for it to come out & its still not here! Im freaking out 😭🥺". He was really cool about it & just laughed saying that its a moonless night & the moon wouldn't be coming out until almost 4am. He was right!
Side note; Was Heat Lightning ever a thing to y'all? I was talking about it to my son the other night & looked it up to explain it better & everywhere online says "heat lightning isnt real, only mistakenly from far off storms". But I've seen heat lightning without any clouds before, it used to be some weird phenomenon. Now everywhere says heat lightning has never been a thing?? | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-19-08 |
In my experience, the sun has always been too bright to look at | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-19-08 |
The moon is so weird!! And it feels like everyone looks at me like I'm crazy if I try to say anything about it IRL, but as a 39 year old person who has spent a good portion of their life outdoors, and also sky watching and stargazing I feel pretty confident or at least used to feel confident about knowing where the moon and stars should be at any certain time and season. Now I often feel like the moon is playing games with me, it seems to dart randomly through the night sky with no discernible pattern. Not only is it moving inconsistent but it seems like it's colored and shaped differently, or maybe orientated differently would be a better choice for phrasing.
I always remember that the crescent moon was more diagonal in the sky, now it's more like a sinister grin then a "crescent moon" also it's more greyish and "sickly looking" than I remember it being. I don't fully rule out that my memory is shot after years of raising children and living life but it just feels different than that. And if it was only my crazy mental state, bad memory and crap eyesight, why are there other people who seem to be seeing the same things that I am?
The world is definitely much more than we see with the naked eye!! That at least is something that most people can agree with. | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-19-08 |

We used yellow and orange crayons when we drew pictures of the sun as kids. The actual color of the sun hasn’t changed. Don’t you think people would be talking about it if it had? I mean outside of Reddit. | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-19-08 |

even then the sun's direction should have changed enough to have the light be blocked by the nearby buildings where i was at yet there wasn't any shadows | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-19-08 |
I noticed the sun had changed from yellow to white completely on my own, before I ever heard of the ME or had gotten into any spiritual conspiracy theories. I remember this day in 2020 I was just thinking back on my childhood and suddenly realized, "The sun was yellow back then (in the '90s)." Then I was genuinely shocked and a little freaked out when I found the ME/theories and that other people had noticed the change too.
My theory is partially impacted by a single day I had when the yellow sun came back. It was just like it used to be. The only thing different about that day was that my anxiety levels were really low for some reason. I know there is a correlation between light sensitivity and anxiety disorders. | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-19-08 |
In my memory the sun whitened a lot in the early 2000s, then seemed to go more yellow again until probably 2007. | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-19-08 |
If this were true any older digital camera's daylight white balance setting would be skewed and look wrong, daylight balanced film stock would also not represent sunlight the same either. | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-19-08 |
Well OP said their old textbook changed from saying yellow to white. This is probably a different timeline and any cameras and film have probably flipped to match the current sun | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-19-08 |
Sunlight is blue though, our brains compensate for this you learn it in photography or film class. | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-19-08 |

😂 😂 | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-19-08 |
I'm not sure it's worse. The Air Quality Management District (AQMD) in California definitely made some improvements over the years. I think it might actually be better.
My grandparents lived in a town called Yucaipa, California, which is a ways inland and at the base of some mountains. We use to go there in the 60's, 70's, 80's, until about 1993, when my grandma moved out of state to live near her daughter. My brother remembers when we used to play outside, the air quality was bad enough that he used to feel it in his chest. But as time went by, it got better. Of course we weren't running around in it as young adults, but it was visually better.
Edited to add: When I Google "air pollution 1970's California" a little blurb comes out that mentions that Los Angeles in the 70's and 80's had over 200 poor air quality days a year. Where we lived by the beach was part of Los Angeles county. I do remember always being aware of smog growing up. We still have haze but it's not as intense. But I think a big part of that is the "marine layer" from the Pacific, even though I live further inland now.
I'm always impressed when I visit other parts of the country and see the blue, blue sky.
So, reconsidering, I'd say that air quality has definitely improved, not just maybe. It's nice to remember that some things do get better. | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-19-08 |
I feel like that isn't how it works. You can still see white things in a room lit by a warm colored lightbulb. I don't know why the sun would be any different | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-19-08 |

Much less lead in the air now, since the global switch to unleaded back in the late 90’s.
Here’s Australia: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Graph-of-Australian-Petrol-Sales-1987-2008-Leaded-vs-Unleaded-Source-Robinson-B_fig1_304777930
Lead is blueish-grey. If it was absorbing blue light, red and green would remain, which would combine to make yellow. This could theoretically give the sun a yellow hue. | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-19-08 |

Oh this again. The sun is and was white. I swear people remember cartoons showing it as yellow and then we drew it yellow at school. It was never a quarter circle in the corner of the sky either but plenty of people used to draw it that way. | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-19-08 |
A few years ago I read that the sun was white which struck me as bizarre. It had always been yellow for my entire life. It had always been depicted as being yellow in drawings and paintings. We all drew scenes as children with blue skies and white clouds and a big yellow sun. Sometimes it had a big smile in the drawing like the yellow happy face badges.
Another odd colour shift was when I saw tennis balls described as being yellow. I did an online image search and sure enough, yellow. But I'm sure that every one I had ever seen before then was a pale green. | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-19-08 |
Our sun is classified as a yellow dwarf star. | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-19-08 |
The color of the sun has absolutely changed, and I agree that this is probably the reason why. I grew up in a city with 2 smokestacks putting an incredible amount of soot into the air. Plus we had a resco facility that burned trash to create electricity, and all of that smoke went straight in the air.
By the time I was a teenager the smokestacks were turned off because the company either couldn’t or wouldn’t put scrubbers on top. Tons of people, including lots of kids in my school, had asthma as a result of the terrible air quality in the 90s. | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-19-08 |
I've lived in my place a couple of years now and I've found the angle of the sun really disorientating in the mornings lately, but I just put it down to an anticlimactic summer leaving me feeling like longer sunny days are still due when in reality, it's quickly fading to autumn. A tilt in the axis would surely be documented though? | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-19-08 |

Here in India we still have 15 watt and 100 watt incandescents. But the 100 watt bulb blows out frequently. It might work with a current regulating circuit or a cluster of 4 incandescents of 15 watt may work without hassle. Though LEDs have become dirt cheap and edged out 25 watt 40 watt and 60 watt. | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-20-08 |

I'm saying that it's now (and apparently always) a pure white star that is not in any way yellow or golden when seen from outside our atmosphere, despite a clear memory to the contrary.

Wasn't there an official nasa statement that said the main reaction of the sun had changed? In the 90s maybe. Hopefully, someone will remember! | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-20-08 |
Suns are *still* depicted as yellow in art and animation, ask any kindergartner to draw a sun and they'll reach for the yellow crayon. In outer space the sun looks white (because there's no atmosphere to scatter its rays). The sun's light is always emitting all colors on the visible spectrum at once (aka white) but that light can appear yellow, orangeish, or white to the eye of a human standing on Earth depending on a number of factors including atmospheric conditions and the planet's rotation on its own axis and around the sun.

I've never really seen it look yellow in the middle part of the day, only early in the mornings and late in the afternoons. The sun produces white light as far as I know and the only other times I've seen it look yellow is when I see pictures from nasa and those images are kinda edited so we can get a good look at it iirc. Whenever I've looked at it too long it turns purple as well. | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-20-08 |
Your actual book description changed? I’ve always wondered if they did that .. my dad donated our berenstein bears books years ago so I couldn’t check but I def think they’re altering our timeline and always wondered if our physical belongings change when they change the spelling or meaning of something.
I know they’ve been fucking with our sun and I’ve heard some different theories on why it’s changing. People have said that ever since the total eclipse of the sun a few months ago is when they’ve noticed the sun turning white. I have to look into it more but I def think that since the eclipse is when the majority of people started noticing the sun changing.
Thanks for posting the video I’ll def check it out tonight! It’s all just fucked up and I really wish they would stop messing with our timeline. I feel like I’ve been living in the TV show Loki and I feel more and more like I’m in that show every day that passes. Time to stop messing with time! It’s really frustrating. | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-20-08 |
Yes there really is a strong correlation between anxiety and light sensitivity, I heard of one woman who had to wear sunglasses in grocery stores because her anxiety was so bad. I also vibe way higher on cloudy/rainy days. I was in Seattle recently and ironically it was unusually sunny, but the rainy days were heaven.
The sudden yellow day was probably in 2021 or 2022 and I was in the rural Midwest at the time. | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-20-08 |

Sun has definitely taken on more of a white hue - from my perspective I definitely feel that the look and feel of the sun has changed, it's either because of the cloud seeding where I live or it's a different reality who knows | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-20-08 |
I remember then sunlight seeming unusually white back in about summer 2005.
Now, the sun is usually bright white, with way brighter sunbeams around it. You used to be able to look at the sun for at least a minute or so before it hurt the eyes, not it takes guts to look directly at the sun for even a few seconds.
Now the moon is more yellow than white, and had way more "supermoons" than usual.
Also, sunsets used to be mostly background of dark blue or misty yellow with vibrant orange or reddish orange backlit clouds. Now, many sunsets have the vibrant orange or red, but with almost a full sky of pink or pinkish red. | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-20-08 |
I think it's just way brighter in the summer and looks white but that's just because of how bright it is.
It's cool seeing it in these vids tho, it's like this giant star that we're close enough to see how big it is instead of like those little stars that are so far away they look like dots in the night sky. | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-20-08 |

Yeah I thinks its just come more apparent since we switched to leds which produce a much whiter colour than the older style bulbs we use to use which were a yellow glow

That yellow you all remember is the difference between a polluted atmosphere and a clean one.
The amount of regulation that has gone in from back when the sun was yellow is immense.
Example: Movies from the 60’s 70’s even 80s filmed in LA outdoors had a yellow hue. Now movies add a yellow filter when filming outdoor in LA to give the LA vibe. | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-20-08 |
The sun is visibly just as white as today in period films from the era you speak of. Same thing with my old family videos from back then. The whole point of this even being considered a Mandela effect is that it's *retroactive*. There's no trace of the remembered yellow sun in any media unless it was digitally edited or captured at a lower position at a certain time of day. | r/retconned | comment | r/Retconned | 2024-20-08 |

Negating your conversations should give you an opportunity to explain what you're talking about more clearly, more thoroughly, and possibly with some kind of evidence as to why you feel that way.
It's sad that you think people trying to have intellectual conversations, or even light debates, are jerks, instead of using the chance to share information.
