It was particularly notable in the episode where he had to scream, “Purple Burglar Alarm!”

Thanks, I missed that post.

I know it’s not a meme, per se, but I died while watching this. (I may be back later as a Romulan though playing my own child from an alternate universe).

You might want to reread that (or check the actual linked research), it doesn’t say “retain” it says “remember”. It’s referring to recall specifically in children to establish when those memories start to fade or become inaccurate. The studies linked were regarding interviews with those who were still children. For example, the Cleveland & Reese study was interviewing 5½ year olds. The Tustin et al paper provides a better timeline comparison at various age stages.

Feel free to think what you want, but that what the current research suggests.

The Wikipedia page on childhood amnesia actually has some pretty good references on this linked. Humans are also really good at creating and modifying memories to implant new ones or change existing ones.

Yup. My family has a history of colon polyps, so I had my first screening at 42 and they found a precancerous polyp.

You don’t really start to retain memories until after 5 as your brain basically rewires itself at that point. So if you “remember” it (from its debut), you’re probably closer to 40.

Well, when you and dad are porn prevention buddies… I imagine that leaves an impact.

All that means is there’s a time limit on your democracy where you get to a point where you can’t pass any new laws because you’re too busy re-passing the old ones.

I started “The Library at Mount Char” by Scott Hawkins. I’m not entirely sure where it’s going to end up, but the ride’s been a fun so far.

Is it going to last more than 4 hours?
