TDCN ( @TDCN@feddit.dk ) English8•7 months agoI can remember obscure things from almost any point during my life, but I can’t remember a person’s name even when I’m told less than 2 minutes ago regardles
Ananääs ( @Jojowski@sopuli.xyz ) English8•7 months agoI remember the phone number of an older guy i talked online for like a week when I was 13 or so, 20 years ago. Thanks brain. Also thanks for reminding me about all the embarassing/shameful stuff i’ve done over the years. Why not replace those slots with, dunno, SOMETHING USEFUL!
Apathy Tree ( @ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English5•7 months agoYou know I’ve always wondered, since memories can be changed as they are accessed (memory is absolutely fascinating, and very very very flawed), is it possible to knowingly reprogram your own memories to change your own subjective history?
I’ve been trying but I always forget that’s what I’m supposed to be doing… 🫤

Wojwo ( @Wojwo@lemmy.ml ) English2•7 months agoYup. One time I used it for a password. Then forgot that it’s what I used for the password, until I reset the password to something else… But I still remember the key.
MystikIncarnate ( @MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca ) English4•7 months agoADHD is super fun. I remember even the smallest details about the most obscure things, and the most random stuff will remind me of that. I also usually can think about 3-4 things at a time! So cool.
What isn’t cool is that, I don’t get to pick either. Random details? Not sure which ones are going in and not coming out… Thoughts? Plenty, but I have no choice in what I’m thinking about.
It’s a fun little game of whack a mole, trying to get my brain to do what needs to be done.
Phen ( @Phen@lemmy.eco.br ) English4•7 months agoWhen I was a kid there was a song that I guess was popular around here that mocked bald people with several “pet names”, one of them was “Moskito Airport”.
Over a decade later I started taking the train to go to work and it took me literal years to stop getting that song pop up in my head every time the train announced the airport station. Nobody around me even remembers that song exists. I don’t even remember who sang it or where it would play, but still - listen to the word airport and the song starts playing in my head. Same thing is true for pretty much every word that is not often found in song lyrics.

AVincentInSpace ( @AVincentInSpace@pawb.social ) English1•6 months agoMy parents always used to joke about this: “Couldn’t I have done something better with that neuron?”
Kid me interpreted this to mean that memory was finite and that, once allocated, was not reusable. It seems incredibly silly in retrospect, but I starred making a conscious effort not to remember things I didn’t need to, so as to “conserve space” so to speak. I still occasionally have to stop myself from doing that.
All it got me was a complete lack of practice at remembering things. I still have exactly this problem – I’ll occasionally remember perfectly something I saw over a decade ago, but forget where I left my phone, without exaggeration, three seconds after I set it down.
There you go, OP – empirical evidence that that’s not why. It’s not that our brains get full, we’re just eternally cursed to be like this
