    “Well I read in a book that I was there. I can’t actually remember more than a few hundred years back.”

    Ashildr from Doctor Who was brilliant.

      I’m wondering now, how our little brains would adapt to living like for thousands of years. Would we really start forgetting things that are waaaay back?

        I’ve already forgotten most of my childhood and I’m only around 30. So I’d assume, yes.

            Nah, it’s just shitty memory. I have had quite the happy childhood, actually.

            I don’t find myself reminiscing a lot and in the rare cases I do, there are quite some gaps. Even in more recent times. If I really try to dig, maybe it comes back, but I assume it’s “use it or lose it”.

        You would forget most everything. Even big events would become fuzzy. Do you remember what you had for lunch on this date when you were 5?
