Going to Corfu in 2005 best holiday I ever had!!! we didn’t go to the city much we liked the quieter parts and at night there were fireflies everywhere. we went on paddle boats and ate great food. also the first time I was on a plane and was old enough to remember it
Happiest memories involve my grandmas. I typed out some memories but they made me sad and deleted it. Funny how that works.
NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, the handhelds… They helped my mind escape from the stress I was provided from a young age.
When I first looked at a 2000AD comic book, I thought it was the coolest ever. Maybe that was a good memory.
You guys remember your childhoods?
I always found it interesting how detailed some people get about the memories of their childhood. I mostly just know that things happened and remember sometimes if something had a very strong emotion tied to them, but for the most part I don’t really remember much. Things were just too long ago.
They have people on talkshows every so often who claim to remember being born but they are clearly fantasists since consciousness doesn’t start in earnest until we are ~2.
Personally, it feels like I’ve got a limited amount of memory and the older I get the more years I cram into it. The early memories are starting to get crowded out.
My grand pa and I planted an apple tree together in '95, he told me “One day we’ll sit together under this tree and eat apples together. When you’re old enough we’ll travel the world together too!” He unfortunatly passed away that same year and due to that we moved out of state leaving the apple tree behind. I like to look back on this memory and think about how big the tree is now, and hope that at least someone gets to enjoy appels under our back yard tree. Because of that memory I’ve traveled through Europe, Asia, and Africa. I would give anything to have had him here by my side, maybe eat a couple appels on our way.
I was hanging out with my cousin (I was maybe 7yo at the oldest) and we were laughing because I had suddenly farted. He responded with his own toot, but to our surprise, it came out with such force and velocity that it shook every window in the room…or so I had thought.
Turns out that a large shipping truck had passed by at just the right time and because of where we were in the room, he had seen it, but I could not. His earth-shaking ass-clapper was but a farce! Hardly even a poot left his patootie! And still, he let me believe for years (I was a naive kid lol) that he could end the world if he only ate enough beans and wanted it bad enough. What a rascal!
Halo 1 on PC. 1v1 deathmatch, Blood Gulch, snipers only, no shields. My opponent was using an aimbot. I beat him 25-17.
It was before microphones were common, so he had to type to shit-talk, and he was much slower than me, but had a lot to say. I got a lot of kills by baiting him into rage. I got a few kills by throwing grenades around corners. But a good amount of them were just from out-aiming his aimbot. Lag was different back then. There were tricks and quirks to keep in mind.
He banned me from his server after the match, and when I returned under a different name, he had started banning people who chatted too much. Kek.
The innocence of not knowing what the adult life is really
I don’t know whether it is ‘the best’ but one that I find springs to mind quite often is a moment with a new Christmas present once. It was one of those walk-along-then-spin-and-shoot robots - a very simple thing, since this was in the early '70s. However, my memory is of utter joy and entrancement as I set it going then leapt out of the way, on to the furniture, before it opened its chest and fired.
It must have been a present from my parents, so they were probably happy that I liked it. Whether they were quite so happy after the first hour or two of the same thing, I don’t know.
Nice try, ChatGPT. No more training data and PII from me, thank you very much.
I don’t even know yet how to use ChatGPT!
None, i didn’t have any childhood It sucked.
