You would be amazed by the things your brain retains. It could be a huge, life changing moment or a small, menial detail about an evening out with friends. They say children remember everything and boy is that true. Most of the time we aren't even cognizant of the things we can recall. Most of the time memories will come back in a flash during a moment that will surprise us.

Which is when you can't help but think.. "Damn. How do I remember that?" Unfortunately there are a few things I'm sure we'd all love to forget. It helps though when the things we were trained and programmed to remember come flooding back. We were too scared to forget.

Redditor RaeADropOfGoldenSun asked people to discuss... What's something that you memorized as a kid and will stick in your brain forever? The brain is an astonishing piece of equipment.

If only she had needed 8...

When I was 5 my mum took me to town and asked me to remind her that she needed 9 buttons. I remembered and reminded her and continued to remind her every time she went to town until I realised she didn't need to get them every time.

It became a bit of a joke as I got older, but I'll never forget those 9 buttons.

875-5309... Right?

My childhood home phone number.

I can probably recite my 2nd grade best friend's home phone number faster than I can recite my own current cell number.

I memorized how to spell "antidisestablishmentarianism" when I was like 8 because I read that it was the longest word in English and I wanted to seem smart. I was an annoying kid.

We had to learn the Animaniac's states and capitals song. I can still sing 90% of it.

Just cause we use cheat codes doesn't mean we're not smart.

help this is against my will,

only morse code i know, thought if ever I/m interviewed on the tele i could blink this out. I've never been interviewed on the tele. Tend to use it now when out with my other half at social functions, she finds it funny & irritating in nearly equal measures.

Dude, where's my house?

My mom made a song out of our address and phone number when I was about 4-5 years old so that I could tell someone if I were ever lost. I still remember it over 20 years later.

slowamongroses

I remember doing this as a young child. Don't have that phone number any more but no doubt it's the only one I'll remember when I'm old and demented.

Sean Hannity Roasted After Claiming His Friends In NYC Are 'Scared' After Mamdani's Win

When Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic primary for New York City mayor in June, Republicans and some old school Democrats were positively apoplectic.

An immigrant Muslim of Gujarati and Punjabi Indian parents who has lived in NYC since he was 7 years old, the 34-year-old New York State Assembly member was the stuff of nightmares for the MAGAsphere. Mamdani was a non-White, non-Christian, Uganda-born immigrant and progressive Democrat.

AOC Has Democrats Applauding With Her Viral Reaction To Zohran Mamdani's Historic Win

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people nodding their heads after she opened up about why democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani's win in the New York City mayoral election on Tuesday is so important for the country at large as well as for the future of the Democratic Party.

Mamdani successfully took on the establishment to become the first South Asian, first Muslim, and first millennial mayor-elect, running a campaign that focused predominantly on the city's affordability crisis and that successfully batted away racist and Islamophobic backlash from right-wingers who claimed his policies would "destroy" the city.

People Who Quit Their Jobs On Day One Reveal What Made Them Say 'Nope, Not Doing This'

Every now and then, simply because we need money, we might take a job that doesn't fulfill us in any way, but at least keeps our bank accounts happy.

Some jobs, however, are so soul-sucking that even with no other prospects immediately on the horizon, we can't, in good conscience, keep working them.
