Compiled in this post is a list of the ten Mandela Effects that I find sincerely strange. Here are some simple rules I've used to deduct Mandela Effects that, while they feel a bit strange, seem atleast explainable to me:
1) That visual detail is different! Usually its a pattern being matched. If I say "Dog beets" 100 times, then I say "Dog" you instantly think "beets". There was some Cheese mascot that was a cow with a nose ring, only on reviewing the mascot does not have a nose ring and never did. Or Uncle Sam's Hat: it isn't striped. That one really goofed me at first, but I saw a post pointing out that the American flag has red and white stripes, so to match those patriot colors, his hat is red and white. Your mind doesn't even have to make up the stripes, it just has to notice "red and white hat" + "America" and then you try to think of what he looks like, you imagine the red and white striped hat. Its honestly a poor choice of the guy who drew him to not stripe his hat. Curious George's Tail, Pikachu's Tail, Mickey Mouse's Tail, its tail city over here with the Mandela Effects. To be fair I do remember Curious George's tail; it was one of the only shows I was allowed to watch as a kid.
2) That thing switched spellings! This one might get some people against me, because its the most common mandela effect type, but I hope I can convince you. Wehn yuo mvoe teh leettrs in a wrod, but dno't cganhe teh frsit and lsat leettr, peploe wlil sltil be albe to raed teh wrod adn eevn a wohle senetcne jsut fnie. Your brain probably skipped over or filled in that detail. To point out how egregious an example of these Mandela Effects are, one will point out how important the spelling is for it to make sense. "It must be "Looney Toons"! If its "Looney Tunes" then there isn't much of a pun." This is very true, but proves the opposite point: when you hear "Looney Tunes" said, you register it as a pun, and expect that when spelled it is also a pun. For some reason it is not.
3) That movie quote or song lyric is different! The only one of these that actually got me was that "We are the champions" does not end with "Of the world" but I later found out that in some live versions it does. The quote of "No, I am your father" is repeated as "No, Luke, I am your father", and the quote of "Beam me up" is repeated as "Beam me up, Scotty"; when repeated, people add the name of the character being adressed. There is nothing terribly strange about it in my opinion. The quote of "Good morning" being repeated as "Hello, Clarice" is a bit strange, but not beyond explanation.
4) That thing switched sides! The swastika is now mirrored, or New Zealand is now on another side of Australia, eh? Perhaps you are dyslexic.

Those are the strange ten for me. I have a personal experience with The C-3PO Leg ME, as I saw Star Wars atleast twice as a young child. One of the times, likely the second time, I asked my dad Why does 3CPO now have a silver leg? I remember vividly that I asked him this. My experience could make this Mandela Effect more or less strange, depending on how you view it. Also, I don't think Objects in Mirror is deducted by rule #1 or #2. Everyone swears that the warning contained the word may. I wonder if the word appear or the right set of words causes us to imagine the word may, like a trick of the internal monologue. It confuddles me. As for Shazam, this is a movie that was released in 1994, that some say got a lot of play on Disney Channel, and some others say it was on ABC, and some others say it was on Nickelodeon. Almost everyone who remembers this movie reports seeing the VHS of the movie on shelves or even having it in possession, and everyone seems to agree that Sinbad played a genie who wore purple/pink clothes with golden shoes and turban. A common response is that this movie, Shazaam with Sinbad, is being confused for Kazaam with Shaq, but it definitely is not.
