My wife still struggles with language and memory after her strokes from several years back, but every now and then she’ll break into song with a perfect tune from even as far back as her childhood.
Comment on *doing my best google impression* Did you mean: turn in up?

You joke but music memory is literally the last thing to go. In fact, if you ever want to help the nurses care for your relative with dementia, make 2 playlists / mixtapes of their favorite songs. One Playlist of calming songs for them to sleep to and to listen to when they’re upset, and one Playlist of exciting songs for when the physical therapist needs to get them up and active!

“speak-singing” is a thing some people do to work around language issues, apparently it’s an entirely different part of the brain.

I want to get a tatoo that says “Things to play if I have brain damage” or something, then put bands and genres that hit core memories.

Get a qr code to a Spotify playlist. This way you won’t have to get laser removal when you want to change a song
NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Better yet, get a qr code to your own domain that forwards to your spotify playlist so you can change the entire qr code to something else is the future should you want to
trolololol@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Who’s going to maintain the domain while you’re in coma? Also how do you know the price for playlists 5 years from now, it could be more expensive than a car!

Better yet just encode the list of songs in the qr code. No need to depend on SaaS

Is he the reason why ‘when you nut but she still keeps sucking’ meme exists?

Again, you joke, but do you know how hard it is to control STDs in a building full of women with dead husbands who can’t get pregnant?
WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I mean, if your husband is dead, it’s kind of assumed that he can’t get pregnant.

You joke, but do you have any idea how hard I’ve tried?
