    Funnily enough, that part of my brain never worked. Then one day when i was around ~25 i realized it did and I’ve been retaining and even memorizing some numbers ever since!

    Mine is still memorizing phone numbers. I know the numbers to all my closest family members.

    How do people who don’t memorize phone numbers get in touch with someone when their phone dies or they get arrested?

      Unless you are really a jerk about it, the times I’ve been taken in, the officers let me take a number out my phone to make my one call. I’m a white passing Hispanic though so YMMV.

        I still need password to login to machine then password to unlock the password manager, then at least in my work I use random software someone made that assigned me a random password to remember, and passwords for machines that are shared for specific tasks.

        Always throws me off when I get back from a few days off becaus I forget everything and it takes me a minute to let my hands just fill passwords out of muscle memory

          1000%

          I go back to work tomorrow after almost two weeks off. First 15 minutes will be spent remembering those passwords.

          Hands are AMAZING like that. At my last office I was the guy who had to call the external network admin whenever there was a problem. Used a desk phone to do it. I bet I could still dial his number faster than recite it

        Passkeys sorta rub me the wrong way. No password AND it’s on the same computer I’m trying to log in on anyway. It seems… Off somehow

          Honestly? Same. Although supposedly Google added the ability recently to share them to other devices, the fact you couldn’t easily (if at all - I didn’t bother researching that much) do so before rang some alarm bells for me. Considering how dependent upon Google’s known capriciousness using them would make me, I’ve also declined to use them thus far. That’s why I made fun of them with the “kewl keeds” comment.

    Still remembering those phone numbers. They’re stuck in my head, even though those phone lines likely haven’t existed for at least 2 decades now.

    Random codes, like did you know the safety override code for system shock is 375? The medical armory is 507, and the Medic suite is 423
