    outside of couple of weirdos, people cannot remember gibberish, try to remember hash number of something for a day

    Don’t appreciate the ableist language here just because nerudodivergence is inconvenient to your argument. I can fairly easily memorize my credit card number.

      I can as well, hash numbers are much worse due to 16 number system.

      I was mainly pointing out it’s not typical brain activity to remember info which we don’t perceive as memorable, despite its information contents. Its not a poke at nd folks why would people remembring 10000 digits of pi be nd? but i’ll change it, you are right
