It's trying to remember which end number I'm up to for this password.
The trick is to not use numbers. Use a tchotchke placed in a prominent place on your desk. My password changes frequently. The previous tchotchke was a goat pin, then a cactus figurine, then a binder clip. I just need to picture my desk and I know what the thing is.
And my desk is so cluttered it's not clear what the special object is. (You know what they say: cluttered desk, cluttered mind. Empty desk....)
You just gave me a good idea running off the same sort of concept, but allowing for numerical characters too. Whenever I gotta do my mandatory 90 day resets, I'll pick a song title followed by the track length in 4 digits. Make a playlist of those songs in case I'm an idiot, and I basically have the passwords written down on a notepad.
I use mine for ip addresses
It still has the ones I put in there 40 years ago.
Yep. Apparently I stuck those in some sort of super resilient long term storage.
For me it's remembering those same phone numbers from 35 years ago.
Depression
Probably passwords. Though the brain is what we call plastic, as in it can take any on lots of roles and those exact neurons could do any number of things... or, you know, nothing at all.
Not too dissimilar from a file system that's lost it's index but probably still has some 1s and 0s, which is true of most of your lost memories, probably.
I still remember the phone numbers for my friend's house from 1st - 5th grade and my ex from high school's home and cell number.
It used to remember passwords, it briefly got a gig memorizing drink orders, now it mostly focuses remembering project numbers and does a little 2FA code work on the side.
Remembering what password and username goes where.
It still stores phone numbers... from 20 years ago.
I still remember a phone number to my childhood friend I didn't talk to for over a decade.
Depression is like a goldfish. It expands to fit the space it has.
I'm going to quote this to my psychiatrist when he asks me how I've been.
Pokemon cards, traffic hours, busy streets, school hours, garbage day.
Then there's; monthly rates for subscriptions, utility costs, insurance, and housing bill dates.
I‘m 31 years old. Never had to remember a single phone number besides my own.
this is for the folks 32 and up. begone kiddo!
Look at my knees and and my back and say that one more time, old-timer!
enough!
get your wheeled walker, it's time to fight!
Have you considered PT? I've been for my back and knees and it's been great. They give you homework to help you strengthen the right muscles to make the pain to away. They also walk you through how to do those exercises and take feedback to make sure you don't hurt yourself.
How did that work? Were you that one kid who had a mobile, did you have them written down on a piece of paper, did you not go out by yourself, or did it not occur to anyone that you might need to call home (or even emergency services) in an emergency? Sorry this sounds so rude, I don't mean to be, I'm just having a hard time imagining this.
Emergency services - yes, but those used to be 3 three digit numbers. 122 fire fighters because the 2s form a hose, 133 the police because the 3s look like handcuffs and 144 the ambulance because the 4s look like seats.
Yes I did go out by myself but what was a reason to call my parents? Back then there were 8 houses, a soccer and asphalt field and some woods in my part of the village.
By 10 when I got the biking license I got an old phone as a hand-me-down, but that was the case of pretty much everyone.
Slowly being overwritten with memes and film quotes
Something absolutely useless like names of bands and songs from the 80’s and 90’s that i vehemently hated or names of obscure porn stars from 70’s to 90’s
Poor brain, I’m so sorry for you. You deserved better.
I have a pretty long password for my harddrive. Also, people still had notebooks, you didn't need to memorize most phone numbers.
Its storing the tune for Conga until I'm moments away from busting my nut and ruining my six hour goon.
It's still storing my old landline home phone number.
Worry about the world
Probably keeping track of people’s genders and preferred pronouns.
