why don't I remember everything I ever did crystal clear forever?

because that would require huge amounts of memory for no significant gain.

it's the same reason why no sane person stores their photos as bitmap anymore.

Probably because you were pissed at the time.

That's the joy of getting old

I have short-term memory issues (according to my docs) so I have a very good memory ironically since it all has to go to mid/long just don't tell me something when I'm not paying attention - yes even if I respond I won't remember

@12bitfloat what do you know a about it kitten? :p

@BordedDev hi, I'm retoor!

@retoor 25 is old in my book :P

@tosensei it's still in your brain

and it would be lots of gain of time

Memory is not like a video camera. The brain stores memories very abstractly and when you recall things, the brain reconstructs the memory on demand and fills in the blanks automatically. Which is why it‘s so unreliable.

Exact memory wasn’t evolutionary necessary.
