If you were given 24 hours where everything you read would permanently be stored in your memory, what would you memorize?
- I'll be the ~~best~~ ~~worst~~ **BEST** Rules Lawyer in DnD ever!
— MyNameIsNotRyn - 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.
— saabn - 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 - 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"
— RedJellyBoy - Guy with concentration disorder here. This power would be a huge waste on me, 24 hours is like 10 pages max
— Trickyzzz - 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 - 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 - A language dictionary, then all you gotta learn is the grammar
— I_Like_Pizza159 - The SAS survival guide and construction manuals
— trollie74 - I'd probably end up wasting this power reading memes.
— TasteyPotato - Medicine. Like all the Oxford medical handbooks and an anatomy textbook or two.
— Berttheduck - I'll be honest, I'd probably just get distracted and read TVTropes.
