    my favorite part of 2002 was all the “never forgetti september eletti” while ALSO everyone was frantically airbrushing the twin towers out of movie posters to not make people remember

    I’ve never been into conspiracy theories but after seeing the Epstein files, the Snowden leaks and the Panama papers… It’s funny how the events of 9/11 sure were awfully convenient for a select few 100 families across the globe.

    This is peak Mandela Effect bingo. Those towers are the Twin Towers, they absolutely existed, and they aren’t in “modern photographs” because, you know, they were destroyed in 2001. You don’t get to rewrite reality by slapping a retro filter and yelling “proof.”

    If you want a real mystery, tell me where every single sock disappears to. Until then, stop treating basic history like a glitch in Truman Show.
