I worked in medical records in HS, and one day I got really excited and told my friends I "memorized the alphabet"

I still use my fingers for counting.

9 years ago | Likes 101 Dislikes 2

As a machine tool operator I used to count on my fingers too, in 10ths of a millimeter or 1000ths of an inch. Precision counts.

I have a hump on my finger from writing so much. I still use it to tell left from right.

The alphabet would not change no matter what order you put it in

Been alive for 30 years.... still fucking choke on my own spit like i don't know what I'm doing....

Similar level of education (sans doctorate) I still need to count the months out on my fingers.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

The order of the alphabet is pointless compared to the value of knowing all those letters exist.

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

You get those degrees by being able to organize knowledge in your mind. By any means that works for you . . .

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

. . . If you have some intellect but never had the discipline to absorb and integrate knowledge, you look a complete idiot as president.

Similarly educated yet left from right always escapes me.

Boxing training helped me learn left from right instinctually...

As a kid my Dr tapped my right shoulder and said 'this is right', i'm 52 and still tap my right shoulder to rembr which is which.

Relate 100%. I paid for someone to proof read my doctorate thesis.

I've always been slightly worried that they'll tell me to do the alphabet backwards at a sobriety checkpoint.

9 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 0

nah, what they're testing for is your reaction to having to do it, do you problem solve or just giggle and fall down

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I didn't have to say it backwards. I just had to say it without singing it.

Apparently there are people who can do calculus in their heads but require a calculator to determine that 4 x 6 = 24.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Think it's a matter of just plugging some numbers in and BOOM. calculus calculated.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Calculus ruined my ability to do basic math.

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

I can do it in my head, but it goes like this... half of 4 is 2. 2 times 6 is twelve. two times twelve is 24. Every damn time. 1/2

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

And I can convert between hex, octal, decimal, or anything else in my head... by converting everything into binary 1st.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I mean, I can do some calculus in my head, it's not as impressive as you're making it out to be

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Well I can't do it but I've never studied it so that's entirely normal.

See, to figure which is my left hand, I look to see which fingers make and "L." I'm a lawyer.

9 years ago | Likes 46 Dislikes 1

I remember that I write with my right hand as my way to remember left vs right.

My girlfriend gets left and right mixed up at least as often as not. Baffles me every time.

On your knuckles?

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Super easy way to figure out what's got 30 or 31 days. Just gotta remember which knuckle to start with.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

In school we were taught "30 days has September April June and November all the rest have 31 except February which has 28" I still sing it

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Uh the first one. Do u just pick a random knuckle?

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Can start on either end, just not in the middle.
