"Definitely a Mandela effort, he’s died before in my timeline too."

i know the mandela effect is genuine but can't grasp what it means when a "dead" celebrity's alive again. i guess it means those who noticed them NOT dead changed worldlines, but there has to be more.

could the re-animation of a dead celeb allow us to USE the mandela effect somehow? it's hard to find serious discussions of the effect online, and it's implications.

there was a flourish of mandela events about ten years ago and then they seemed to.....dry up.
