Am I wrong or do the wizards not remember their lives before they were sent to middle earth?

Doesn't matter. While that amazon shitshow tells a different story, Gandalf (as Radagast and Saruman) only arrived in the third age, long after the War of the Last Alliance. Gandalf might be infinitely older than Elrond yet wasn't there.

Small nerd gripe. Maia is the singular form of Maiar. "I am a Maia," or "I am one of the Maiar" get you there

"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?

This is a really interesting part of the Red Mars Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson

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

That’s… that’s not normal.

Thats usually trauma suppressing memories, sorry mate,

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 minutes ago

It wasnt specified what was meant by childhood. The further back you go the less you remember. I remember a lot more about 6-10 grade than 1-6 grade.

[–] De_Narm 2 points 26 minutes ago

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?

It's Friday. Rectangle pizza

A breadtangle of pizza

[–] SpaceNoodle 5 points 2 hours ago

Is that just regular pizza with rectangles on it?

Perfect casting, too

I mean, sure he was alive. But he wasn't physically there.

Is Middle-earth juxtaposed between Top-earth and Bottom-earth or Right-earth and Left-earth?

[–] whotookkarl 1 points 59 minutes ago

Hamburger earth or hotdog earth?

Inner earth and outer earth.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 29 minutes ago

Front earth and back earth

[–] NineMileTower 4 points 2 hours ago

Yes. It's the inner goo of the earth cube.

I didn't understand this so I looked it up.

Maiar is the plural
