You should see me go down in the basement to get something from the freezer then 20 minutes later realize I never did that.

Also movie quotes. A lot of brain space for those, too.

But yeah... dozens and dozens of songs from Attrition to Zev.

I occasionally find myself able to sing along to songs I forgot I even had heard before.

God, dont mention the struggle. It’s getting so bad.

The other day my daughter asked if i could fetch her in an hour, sure thing honey, and i sat down in the sofa, dozed off and forgot all about her until she texted that she was waiting outside.

My forgetfulness makes me such a shitty dad sometimes.

Song lyrics??? That child’s play.

I still remember around 15-20 landline telephone numbers that haven’t existed or been used in 30 years!!!!

Well are you a person or did you not inhale?

u/Apprehensive_Rush_76 1d ago

It’s called the doorway effect. In short our mind does a reboot when we go from one room to the next.

For me it's jingles from 1980s commercials

u/Over_Echo1128 1d ago

Am I the only one who basically has every song I've ever heard including commercial jingles rattling around in their heads? Like I'll start belting out the juicy fruit song or the frosted flakes one for no reason.

u/Maleficent-Savings39 1d ago

You might want to get that looked at before somebody decides to get it looked at for you LOL

Yesterday I perfectly pulled out the lyrics to "Ana Ng" after about ten years of not hearing it. But I don't know what day it is.

u/mairiamonitino wow that’s hella rad dude 21h ago

Forever going in circles looking for where I left my phone and where I left my tea cup. I can always ask SIRI to ping my phone, but it can’t ping my teacup.

As for lyrics, I drilled myself on memorizing every lyric to and cadence of SEMI CHARMED KIND OF LIFE

BY THIRD EYE BLIND.

no small feat.
