    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.

    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.

          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.

    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.
