macbeth soliloquy and a poem I was required to memorize in high school which I managed to do even though it took extreme effort because of the way my memory works. similarly because of the strange way my memory works I basically know them 30 or 40 years later now but it can take a little time for me to get them going. I actually have pulled out the soliloquy a few times in internet comments so not totally useless.

Ah see I have the opposite problem. I memorized the whole thing in 30 minutes but I didn't know it the next day.

1€ is 6,55957 french francs

It was not even useful in 2000 to 2005 when people needed to calculate the conversion, because I was just a kid, but my mom made me remember this for some reason

I vibe most with wavelengths of 490 to 500 nanometers, but right now I'm feeling a little magenta.

The first ten digits of pi rounded up 3.141592654 seemed a lot more useful during undergrad.

My student number from many years ago. My last 2 credit card numbers. Have some digits of pi memorized, useless to daily life.

After learning the phonetic alphabet I thought it would help when I'm spelling out my last name to people to say 'let me spell it out phonetically'. Most of the time I get a blank stare and then they have me repeat each letter, many of which sound similar.

In 6th grade we could get some bonus point on our final exam for knowing how to spell pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (which isn't actually that hard to spell, just long) and I've never forgotten how.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Hobos and tramps,

Crosseyed mosquitoes

And bowlegged ants:

I come before you to stand behind you

To tell you something I know nothing about.

The price is free, so pay at the door.

There are plenty of seats, so sit on the floor.

One bright morning in the middle of the night

Two dead boys got into a fight.

Back to back they faced each other,

Took out their swords and shot one another.

A deaf policeman heard the noise

And came and killed the two dead boys.

If you don’t believe me, ask the blind man;

He saw everything.

Memorized while bored in elementary school

And they ask you how are you, and you just have to say that you’re fine when you’re not really fine, but you just can’t get into it because they would never understand.

I’m still waiting for an appropriate moment to say it aloud.

One dull day, in the middle of the night, Two dead boys got up to fight. Back to back they faced each other, drew their swords and shot each other. A deaf policeman heard the noise and went and shot those two dead boys. If you don't believe my lie is true, ask the blind man, he saw it too.
