Mine is that at my age (barely made it into Gen Z on the old end) I just found out today that a Bo Weevil is an insect (beetle) and not some kind of mole or similar rodent.

    My partner has Aphantasia. Brains are strange! She cannot visualize in her mind which makes it very challenging to do certain tasks and many things she does are based on muscle memory. Also interestingly when a song gets stuck in her head it is like she is making all of the sounds with her inner voice. For me, I can hear the song like there is a recording playing in my head.

      I don’t think I have that because I recall music the same way. Usually it’s just the chorus or a verse playing on loop, though, and the actual song never sounds exactly how I remember it.

        There are varying levels of Aphantasia, for my partner it is complete but for you if may only be partial. The wiki page I linked discussed it a bit.

      Ever still hear the recording even when you are singing along? It sounds so good in my head but I’m a terrible singer. I would threaten my son with singing when he was misbehaving.
