I can recall the lyrics of so many old songs I don’t listen to anymore, but can’t seem to remember the stuff I studied back in high school so like 12-13 years worth of information is all blur to me. Why does brain do that

One time in the hospital suffering from gi problems I had to drink a certain amount of liquid contrast for an MRI on my stomach , then when I was brought down to the room with the machine the nurse administered the IV dye or contrast and not even two minutes later I had to yell help because I got really sick . Am I allergic to the dye used for MRIs or was it a random occurrance? I felt instantly hot and sick . I have no known allergies could this potentially be one? Thanks in advance guys!

I have had a couple surgeries as a kid and I will never forget how sick I felt and dizzy after waking up in the recovery room/check out. Do you think it was the after effects of the anesthesia?

Weeds grow, well, like weeds, out of the cracks of the pavement with nothing but municipal runoff to keep them alive. Meanwhile I have to work tirelessly to keep my tomato and pepper plants happy and fruitful. Why do weeds dominate a garden?

Inspired by a question on pedometers.

My mom has a pedometer from 2013, I think. It can detect steps fairly well and it does not react to shaking. I tried to shake the pedometer as if I'm walking and it recorded nothing.

I have a Xiaomi smart watch and sometimes when I roll around in my bed it detects the movement as walking and adds ~20 steps.

How can a pedometer distinguish walking from shaking?
