- cal3366, on 06/15/2009, -2/+73You know, I am okay not remembering being born. Do you really want to remember coming out of your mom?
- floort, on 06/15/2009, -3/+49I think memory has to do with the ability to comprehend it. While our brains may have been recording what happened in the womb, our lack fo comprehension makes it useless.
- getoffmybridge, on 06/15/2009, -1/+36HELLO!
- ilbbaicl, on 06/15/2009, -3/+37I remember touching my penis and thinking that it was very small.
No wait...
That was yesterday. - BoneStamp, on 06/15/2009, -2/+28All I remember is a bright light at the end of a tunnel -- I thought I was going to die.
- CoD4, on 06/15/2009, -2/+25oh baby!
- minorthreat, on 06/15/2009, -1/+23I believe you man.. When I was 18 months old my mom died.. 2 months after that my dad sold our house. I don't remember my mom or the house, but I do have a solid memory of me riding on my dads shoulders walking down that houses driveway.. We walked down the steep driveway and then a ways down the road..
I don't remember my mom, but she used to drop me off at the babysitters. I remember that for sure.. the bitch used to make me eat eggs and applesauce mixed together. - Girlzilla, on 06/15/2009, -0/+20I'm just going to pretend like you didn't claim you went down on your mother.
- kingofinternet, on 06/15/2009, -2/+21i remember. it was hot.

- DerangedPenguin, on 06/15/2009, -1/+19Men, we spend the first nine month inside a woman and the rest of our lives trying to get back inside a woman.
- gllopc, on 06/15/2009, -1/+18It's always been my belief that the reason childhood memories prior to 3 aren't retained is because a memory requires an understanding of its content and its relationship to the understanding of yourself. This is akin to someone reading a technical manual aloud to you on a subject for which you have no understanding of its basic concepts - you won't remember a thing they said. But learn about the subject, or be given a metaphor to understand the purpose or construct of the subject, and then a second reading will begin to allow an understanding to take hold, and thus a memory is created.
So memories require understanding. And a lack of understanding of the basics of who or why you are will prevent you from retaining even the most basic content of most situations. - inactive, on 06/15/2009, -1/+18And as long as you're not a southerner, it's a different woman.
- zachstanley, on 06/15/2009, -1/+18I agree with your made-up science.
- GeorgeStone2, on 06/15/2009, -0/+16Day 3 - Not so bad, I get to suck on ***** a few hours a day.
- dirtmonkey, on 06/15/2009, -1/+14ZING!!
- upnortherik, on 06/15/2009, -0/+13Turtles!
- justok, on 06/15/2009, -0/+13I was born with a full afro. Boy, was my mom tickled.
- DreamVsPs2, on 06/15/2009, -0/+12My parents shot a video, and trust me, YOU DO NOT WANT TO REMEMBER.
- GeorgeStone2, on 06/15/2009, -0/+11Protip If you're remembering from 3rd person, you're not actually remembering it. You're most likely building a memory from what someone has told you.
- insomniacal, on 06/15/2009, -0/+10Why stop there? Can a person remember life in the womb?
- goodjoke, on 06/15/2009, -0/+10Day 1 - Still tired from the move.
Day 2 - Everybody talks to me like I'm an idiot - sexybobo, on 06/15/2009, -0/+10a lot of early memories like that are false memories. You get told about it or see pictures of it enough you start to remember it happening even though you really only have the memory of people telling you you were there.
It is very similar to how hypnotist can plant false memories in people. - arunforce, on 06/15/2009, -2/+12That makes no sense, we can comprehend our previous memories and gain insight based on our previous experience. I believe that we just don't "record" it plain and simple because our brain is still in development.
- bemenaker, on 06/15/2009, -0/+9Truth is you do remember stuff before then. How else would you learn? Learning to walk, to talk, to gain control of your motor skills, all requires memory. It's a different part of you memory, but it is still memory. It is the basis of all human learning.
I think it would be more interesting to study people w/ a "photographic" memory and see how far back they go, since I fall closer to that and my memories go back farther than 3 years old. - neillawson, on 06/15/2009, -3/+11The mind isn't equipped with the necissary "software" at that point. It isn't all that important for an individual to remember events at that point in life - dependance on the mother and inborn reflexes are enough to enable you to survive. The "software" develops when the baby is better suited to use it.
I just made this up, anyone else agree or is it nonsense? - trentrezn0r, on 06/15/2009, -0/+8I don't see why it couldn't be possible. I can remember things from when I was 1-2 y.o. that my parents can't believe I can remember.
- xsecretfiles, on 06/15/2009, -0/+8Why stop there? Can a person remember being a sperm?
Think about it....... - cal3366, on 06/15/2009, -0/+7Touche!
- insomniacal, on 06/15/2009, -0/+7FTA: "However, psychologists have discovered that children as young as 3 months old and 6 months old can form long-term memories."
I don't remember anything before the age of 5. My 3-year-old son, however, has been reviewing most of the fun episodes of his life on our computer, both in photo and video. He's been doing this since age 1, and he often asks to watch videos from specific events. I would bet this multimedia instant replay is helping him retain the neural paths to his own memories, so that he'll keep them long into adulthood. I wonder what it'll be like to be him, remembering events that occurred when he was 1 ... - dojocasino, on 06/15/2009, -1/+8http://www.instantrimshot.com
- spiderman222, on 06/15/2009, -2/+9yer dad got crabs!
- TurdFaceManLove, on 06/15/2009, -6/+12I stuck my tongue out as I exited.
- chopeh, on 06/15/2009, -0/+6You had me until you said 7.
- alexkim804, on 06/15/2009, -1/+6when is the earliest you can ask someone "how far back can you remember?" i wonder what happens then...
- chopeh, on 06/15/2009, -0/+5Clearly you were a moron when you were 7.
- copypastry, on 06/15/2009, -0/+5I remember being bathed in the sink as a baby.
- mareksoon, on 06/15/2009, -0/+5Yes. It was a lovely womb with a view.
- socrates17, on 06/15/2009, -0/+5How is a 7-year-old not self aware?
- zip000, on 06/15/2009, -0/+4You know....good for them and all...but damn that's gross.
- ifruit, on 06/15/2009, -0/+4I wonder what newborns dream about when they sleep.
- techdever, on 06/15/2009, -1/+5did he screw a mermaid prostitute again?
- michelsonmorley, on 06/15/2009, -0/+4My earliest memory is in realizing I couldn't remember much before a couple days before. I think I was 3 or 4.
- boozedrinker, on 06/15/2009, -1/+5I came IN yours....
- wigren, on 06/15/2009, -0/+4No snap for you!
- iPwnN00bs, on 06/15/2009, -0/+4I'm sorry
- inactive, on 06/15/2009, -2/+6I think I may remember being born, but it's more of a feeling of senses not really a memory. I vaguely remember stuff from being in a crib, seeing and hearing things that my parents confirmed being around the time I was a baby.
- malman4, on 06/15/2009, -1/+5I remember going on a picnic with my Dad and coming home with my Mom.
- eShinn, on 06/15/2009, -0/+4Why stop there? Can a person remember dying?
Think about it... -
