I have noticed a change in the localization of Australia. Which I clearly remember was distant from other countries with exception of New Zealand. I almost passed out from shock when I checked the map, and noticed Australia had moved.
I also noticed Cuba has increased in size. And bahamas is now very close to Florida. South America used to be south america, it used to stay in the south, not southeast like it's now.
I also remember that Hitler had 2 children, I excelled in history, Its not a matter of bad memory. Now in this current timeline, he had no children at all.
Plus I also remember Billy Graham dying in the end of 2006.
It seems many people came from the same timeline and remember the exact same things.
I'd love to know any explanation for this phenomena.

"I also noticed Cuba has increased in size."
That's extra Alpha particles left over from the Russian nuclear missiles that were stored there in 1962.
"South America used to be south america, it used to stay in the south, not southeast like it's now."
It still is South America. Sometimes it's SOUTH AMERICA. And they move it around occasionally to dodge predicted earthquakes and storms.
Is this "different timeline"-thing the newest fad? I never heard of it before*, and now we have two quotes within a few weeks.
Time to get bifocals?
Hitler's children? You got me there.
A) you're probably looking at a different map projection then you're used to
B) A quick search brings up that Hitler didn't have any children with his wife Eva, but may have had up to 9 children with assorted mistresses. It would be very difficult to prove the paternity though.
C) I'm a huge fan of the simplest explanation being the most likely, and the simplest seems to be that you don't remember correctly or had faulty information to begin with. If not that then I would suggest that you might be a liar, which is far more likely then you being some sort of accidental trans-dimensional traveler.
It is not the map projection. I remember South America being more south as well. I was good in geography and was well aware of different map projections, as well as we made globes in grade school. (That was pretty cool. :) )
And then one day I noticed that it was quite a bit more over east than I remembered. I decided that I just remembered wrong. After all how often do you follow the meridians down and notice that for being on the east side of Canada, I am in fact due north of the Pacific west of South America.
So now we have an alternative hypothesis.
1) I just didn't notice.
2) Alternate timelines.
Hmmm. WWMTD? (What Would Marcello Truzzi Do?) What if I apply Occam's Razor?
Of course we moved Australia, the Kiwis made insufferable neighbours, so we moved.
Not too far, mind you. Little Tasmania was still at school and we didn't want to take him away from his friends.
Does "you're completely batshit" serve as enough of an explanation for this?
Seriously, is there any medical condition that does this false memory weirdness?

How, exactly, did you measure this "change in the localization"? What devices did you use to measure it? What is the accuracy of your measurements? What is the natural process by which this "change in the localization" has come about? You think YOU are the only intelligent one to have noticed? Wouldn't you think someone else has also noticed this? Wouldn't all of the GPS device location information be incorrect? Does no one use GPS? What about all of the astronomical observatories that require precise location information for accurate observations? Wouldn't they be able to tell right away?
Why don't you submit your scientific evidence for this "change in localization" to the proper scientific journals (GLP isn't one, in case you were wondering), so it can be peer-reviewed and you be given your Nobel Prize?
When Torchwood closed the rift, a few land masses shifted in keeping with continental drift being accelerated through the time/space continuum. Sadly, little Hans and Franz Hitler were erased from time as well. UNIT then arranged to have all maps altered to make it seem normal, but a few enlightened folks still remember...
I have noticed a change in the stupidity of humans. I clearly remember when people in general were smarter, and trusted science. I almost passed out from shock when I read the moronic things posted on this site.
I also understand the explanation for this phenomena. Fundie-idiots are permeating society, and their religious ignorance of reality and logic is taking over. Fundie-spawn is being indoctrinated at the earliest possible age to distrust science, and to believe that a supernatural sky-pixie is watching everything they do and will torture then in hell forever if they don't do exactly as this sky-pixie wants. If this continues, we will raise generations of scientifically moronic idiots, and scientific advancement, along with our society in general will be fucked.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
