SithLord Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 My sister and I used to compete over who memorized my parents' license plates the fastest. I don't know why. It became a thing where whenever we stayed at a hotel/motel and my parents needed the license plate number of the car, we'd go in to tell them so they wouldn't have to go outside and check. I currently have 4 license plate combinations memorized, and one backwards. My parents each got a new car since I moved out of the house and so I recognize those, but I don't have them memorized. She bragged to me once after going on a roadtrip with our church that she had the church van's license plate memorized, because I didn't know it still. Weird brag. They're useful for passwords, but that's about it. Link to post Share on other sites
Taival Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Around 2010 I read in a teen magazine that Justin Bieber was 164cm tall and that Orlando Bloom takes 2-minute showers to conserve water and environment. I've never been a fan of either. There's no explanation. Also the basic stuff, song lyrics et cetera. And a lot of Eurovision trivia. And lyrics to Eurovision songs, obviously.

daveb Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Various incomplete snippets of verse and song lyrics, such as: "Whan that Aprille with his shoures soote" "Half a league half a league, half a league onward" Just enough to get them lodged as ear worms, but not enough to be impressive or useful in anything but trivia quizzes where you might have to guess where a line of verse or quote comes from.

Yinlotus93 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 The "Our Father" (Lord's Prayer). My parents sent my siblings and I to kiddie Catholic lessons after Church as kids, had to memorize it for some reason and just never forgot how to do it since. Not particularly useful anymore since I'm a full on atheist and have been since my late high school years. Closest I ever came to applying it again was for a college Linguistics - History of English Language class when we had to recite it in Old English. Link to post Share on other sites

Scribbles Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 The lyrics to All Star-- though I don't think that's an impressive feat anymore. The lyrics to 'Satisfied' from Hamilton-- marginally more impressive. Can't sing it as fast as Renee Elise Goldsberry, though. Il faut avoir l'allure d'un mannequin et ignorer les hommes comme ils sont malades. - my classmates and I wrote a play in French class and I think I'll have that line memorized forever because I rehearsed my lines over and over and over. For reference, it was a modernized version of a scene from Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme. My schedule in Sixth Grade - Band - Math - Art/Computer Skills/Health (changed throughout the year) - Social Studies - Study Hall - Science - English (I had such a huge crush on a guy that I would look forward to the classes we had together and that was such a weird, love-struck, emotional chapter of my life that I cringe to think about it. Like, having crushes is normal but idolizing someone like that and someone becoming your number one priority to the point that you forget everything else is unhealthy) Link to post Share on other sites

Twisted Tempest Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Various little pointless facts and trivia. They will never be relevant to anything in every day life, but they will make you say "Huh..." Also a phone number which I assume is fake, from an Australian comedy song from like the late 90s or early 00s. Link to post Share on other sites

SorryNotSorry Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 My great-grandmother's old phone number from before 1980, and the one she had it changed to after a bunch of kids in the housing project wouldn't stop crank-calling her (caller ID was still more than a decade away).

ElloryJaye Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 The sheer amount of useless stuff I have memorized would fill a medium-sized library. Multiple prayers in both French and English (I'm an atheist). Later verses of Christmas carols (mostly older religious ones). Old commercial jingles from more than a quarter century ago (Fleecy fabric softener had one to the tune of the theme from the James Bond movie The Spy Who Loved Me, frex). I can probably still recite all of Return of the Jedi, Star Trek IV, and the David Lynch Dune in time with the movies. Prophecies from fantasy novels I read as a kid. The postal code of my mother's hometown (which is nowhere near my own). Some of the channel assignments from the cable TV setup we had when I was a kid. And on and on.

AroAce Wolf Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 "The FitnessGram Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. *Dingaling* A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. *Ring* Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start." Gym class did this to me. Link to post Share on other sites
