Imagine being able to remember every minute detail of your life. You can recall what the weather was like, what you were reading or what you wore to the shops at any minute, any hour or any day stretching back decades. It sounds like some kind of parlour trick, but it's actually a real and very rare medical phenomenon.

Hyperthymesia

Actress Marilu Henner has this condition.

[Electric Graffiti]

The series ‘House’ had an episode about this condition. Never knew it existed, then again, I can’t remember anything.

[rktman]

Don't ask me what I had for breakfast let alone where I was on July 23rd any freakin' year. What? 👹👍🏼

[hawaiianninja]

I saw this video late last night. It’s quite an incredible ability to have.

[digger48]

Something the Clintons are certainly not afflicted with

[Berlin_Freeper]

Wish I could remember that load I dropped December 14 1972.

[sockmonkey]

I wish Politicians, Historians, and Clergy had this condition.

[ClearCase_guy]

Christine Blasey Ford does not suffer from this.

[rktman]

Sounds more like a curse. And, some things I certainly do not want to remember.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Yea, Yo mama remembers the smell.

[rktman]

WOW! 🙀🍿🍻🚽

[Fai Mao]

I have a photographic memory but I ran out out film when I was 7.

Saw on 60 MIN years ago
I think Leslie Stahl did the segment.

[Rurudyne]

“I can see! I can hear! ... But who am I?!?” Newsie in the movie Johnny Dangerously

[Blue Jays]

"...that load I dropped on December 14, 1972..."

What was so especially notable about it?
That might jog your memory to recall other details.
Were you an interstate trucker at the time? Which shipping dock received the cargo?

[Rurudyne]

That’s known as “getting historical”.

[Raycpa]

I have the opposite syndrome.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

There was this one time, at band camp . . .

[21twelve]

“Saw on 60 MIN years ago
I think Leslie Stahl did the segment.”

I'm not sure that qualifies as a photographic memory. Oh wait ...

My wife sometimes comes close.

“Remember Valentine's Day, 1987 - the year before you proposed to me? You gave me a frikken’ fire extinguisher! You said ‘Hey - what's more romantic than thinking of your well-being. And it's red!’”

[Karliner]

Guess they won’t be buying any Ginko Biloba anytime soon.
