If you were given 24 hours where everything you read would permanently be stored in your memory, what would you memorize?

1. I'll be the ~~best~~ ~~worst~~ **BEST** Rules Lawyer in DnD ever!
   — MyNameIsNotRyn


2. Realistically, I'd probably do the practical things other posters are talking about--learn languages, become an expert in my field, etc. But in my imagination, I'd like to read a bunch of folk takes and epic poems and be like the traveling storytellers of antiquity.

3. The 1950-2000 Grays Sports Almanac, so I could travel back in time safely, without having to worry about someone from the 1950s stealing it and changing the future.
   — keenly_disinterested






4. I'd read out just a bunch of philosophical quotes just so I could pull them out of my ass in completely unrelated discussions. Example: Friend: "Hey dude you wanna go grab some pizza?" Me:"One Cannot think well, love well,sleep well,if one has not dined well" Friends:"Please just stop"

5. Guy with concentration disorder here. This power would be a huge waste on me, 24 hours is like 10 pages max
   — Trickyzzz


6. Syntax cheat sheets for regex, sql, JavaScript, and a few other languages (limited useful timeframe, but would only take an hour or so, tops), then probably first-aid and survival manuals, including a rope-tying guide.
   — cramduck






7. The directions to cooking Mac and cheese so I can stop getting the box back out of the trash can. Then with my leftover time, I’m not sure
   — ShiftingStar


8. A language dictionary, then all you gotta learn is the grammar
   — I_Like_Pizza159


9. The SAS survival guide and construction manuals
   — trollie74






10. I'd probably end up wasting this power reading memes.
    — TasteyPotato


11. Medicine. Like all the Oxford medical handbooks and an anatomy textbook or two.
    — Berttheduck


12. I'll be honest, I'd probably just get distracted and read TVTropes.
