I bet you could get a top hat pretty cheap too. But it will be a pale imitation of the sort of top hat a truly rich and distinguished old man would wear.

They should make one with him wearing a Stunner-style monocle on 
Also, a fun fact, both Monopoly and Monocle have the prefix "Mono". Coincidence? I THINK NOT.

psi said: By the "butterfly effect" theory, a small change way back when Monopoly was first created would likely result in a totally different world today. Not just a few bits of trivia being different and everything else being pretty much the same. That's a long time for the differences to snowball.
I think the "people have imperfect memory" theory explains supposed Mandela effect stuff just fine.
Maybe you are from the alternate universe that experienced the butterfly effect

Yeah, the Butterfly Effect is also called Chaos Theory. Its mentioned in movie The Lost World.
Heres a little about it: https://www.britannica.com/science/chaos-theory
It can also apply to DCTP as timelines overlap over each other, thus changing reality: https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/dan_burisch/esp_dan_burisch_29.htm

I heard about this stuff a few years back 2015/2016, I ended up down a rabbit hole, apparently there's this thing called The Mandela Effect, it's basically this thing where a group of people have the same memories of things that never existed to begin with like Fruit Of The Loom never having a cornucopia and there being 6 people JFK's car when a lot people remember it being 4, lots of craziness as such if you're interested theres a subreddit dedicated to it called r/Retconned

I don't really remember him having a monocle. I can imagine it pretty easy maybe just because you see so many old white rich characters with suits and monocles, but I don't really remember him having one.
I think stuff like this just happens because our memories are actually really bad but we don't realize it. Everyone tends to think that their memories are a lot better and more reliable than they really are, but it's been well studied in psychology that our memories are actually really bad. It's easy to give someone false memories and the specific details of our memories are often totally unreliable. People will often confabulate (invent) details of a memory without even realizing that they're doing so.
This is especially true of childhood memories. A lot of childhood memories are just straight up imagined and never happened. We think and feel like they're 100% reliable, but they're not. Even just telling someone you know that something happened which they don't remember is often enough to give the person the "real" memory of it happening.
Anyway, I'm clearly from this monopoly universe, and you guys are all invaders
Now the Berensting Bears on the other hand...
I find this whole subject a lot of fun even though I don't really believe it's anything more than unreliable memory. It's still fun to think about and talk about though.

I think your brain likes to take shortcuts to save on space so to speak. The Monopoly Man, Mr Peanut, Scrooge McDuck, and probably a ton of individually less memorable minor characters, all represent the same archetype and are probably stored as such. If one diverges from the archetype in some memorable way (such as by being an anthropomorphized peanut or duck) then that distinguishes it from your generic memory of that sort of character.
But not every feature will be all that memorable. I remembered that Scrooge McDuck had some kind of old timey eyewear but not that it was not a monocle. Now that I've taken note of it, it probably will be more memorable to me. If you asked someone fairly familiar with all three characters to describe each of their footwear in detail, I think it's pretty much a given that some details would be wrong. Your mental model leaves out stuff your brain does not expect to be important.

I just mean those are the sorts of questions you would ask to narrow down what the other person has. But yeah it would be yes for all three for Mr. Peanut. You'd probably have to toss in some stock characters to fill it out.
