How do I know that? WHY do I know that? The information we retain is astounding. That's why we should never doubt that any one of us could be on Jeopardy.

Plus useless info can be exciting on a first date... makes you.... intriguing. Trust me.
Redditor u/lyiuc777 was wondering what knowledge people hold in their brain that is so random and only meant for game shows by asking.... what is the most useless information you know?Damn that's random....

<p>The length of your wrist to your elbow is the same length as your heel to your toe. It seems as if your forearm is much longer because of perspective (forearm is far closer to the eyes than the feet). However, you have become used to seeing your feet as "smaller" because of that perspective and so you assume that they are. Put your foot against your arm. š¤Æ</p><p>- <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/gjkcwg/what_is_the_most_useless_fact_you_know/fr08200?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x" target="_blank">maxkaminsky13</a></p>Markers

Random bits of useless information have always seemed to stick in my brain, while the important stuff seems to wander away into the aether.
For example: I still remember the WiFi password from 3 routers and approximately 10 years ago, but I cannot remember an important date or appointment unless my phone reminds me.
