Casual Conversation

I vibe most with wavelengths of 490 to 500 nanometers, but right now I'm feeling a little magenta.

My previous credit card number.

My student number from many years ago. My last 2 credit card numbers. Have some digits of pi memorized, useless to daily life.

Deoxyribonucleic acid.

My brain made it into a jingle and now I can't ever forget it.

The Weird Al Show theme song

1€ is 6,55957 french francs

It was not even useful in 2000 to 2005 when people needed to calculate the conversion, because I was just a kid, but my mom made me remember this for some reason

Some old phone numbers that no longer work.

Chemical elements put to a possibly recognizable tune.

All the lyrics to Weird Al's "Hardware Store"

The first ten digits of pi rounded up 3.141592654 seemed a lot more useful during undergrad.

After learning the phonetic alphabet I thought it would help when I'm spelling out my last name to people to say 'let me spell it out phonetically'. Most of the time I get a blank stare and then they have me repeat each letter, many of which sound similar.

And they ask you how are you, and you just have to say that you’re fine when you’re not really fine, but you just can’t get into it because they would never understand.

I’m still waiting for an appropriate moment to say it aloud.

The lyrics to Spell it Out by The Lonely Island

macbeth soliloquy and a poem I was required to memorize in high school which I managed to do even though it took extreme effort because of the way my memory works. similarly because of the strange way my memory works I basically know them 30 or 40 years later now but it can take a little time for me to get them going. I actually have pulled out the soliloquy a few times in internet comments so not totally useless.

Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Pluto.

I was kind of a space cadet, so I never learned the planets by mnemonic, just by remembering their names.

Now Pluto's been demoted (but not in my heart 💔), and I never actually need to refer to my list of planets anyway :\

Some animal facts, useless stuff.

A A Am Ae Ae A Ae Ae As Arum Is Is

And also Sum es est sumus estis sunt

I studied it in highschool and have a degree in science.

Area codes. Given most of the original US/Canada area codes, I can tell you where it is.

0 for i=1to520: r=rnd(1): printchr$(r+109.5);:
next i: c=r*16: poke53281,c: poke53280,c:
poke646,c*9: goto

The words to "The going to bed book" by Sandra Boynton. I've read it to my son at night since the day he was born. It didn't take long until my wife and I no longer needed the book.

Also, all of the U.S. states in alphabetical order set to a tune. That came from some cassette tape that my mother used to play to us (she was a school teacher.)

My locker combination in high-school. I’m 61 now and haven’t needed it for 43 years, so I can give it to you: 9-16-37

One dull day, in the middle of the night, Two dead boys got up to fight. Back to back they faced each other, drew their swords and shot each other. A deaf policeman heard the noise and went and shot those two dead boys. If you don't believe my lie is true, ask the blind man, he saw it too.
