I was 6 months old when I saw my mom and dad fishing. My mom caught a snapping turtle and freaked out, so my dad pick up a stick and beat it.

Only reason I know how old I was because I was telling a friend the story when my mom chime in asked that how could I remember that I was only a baby and left on a blanket while they fished.

Yet I do and can see it clearly to this day. What sucks is I can clearly and vividly see all my past memories to that point even the bad shit.

Do you have a photographic memory?

[-] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

No, that be sweet. It's only memorys that I can recall. Not always the dilouge but sometimes that too. And depending on how long ago I sometimes must concentrate on one to get vivid details.

I once read that everything we have ever read, heard, and seen is stored in our mind just like a computer we just can't always access it.

But somethings we can always acess like riding a bike. And somethings we forget like I used to know French now I can't string two sentences together. Yet deep somewhere in my subconscious that knowledge is stored.

Be interesting if we could acess it at will.
