Do you make this information up? Literally anytime you answer a question or say anything it’s an incredible amount of information. About burgers. Or about how women doctors pee less. A diverse range of completely unrelated topics. There’s no way you know this much off the top of your head
I sourced ALL that information from my mind except the photos, and I MADE those jpegs from png screen shots.
All my friends call me "the Walking Internet"
My brain (trivia depth) is only interesting in live events, like parties. Its useful on first dates to shock or astound a woman holding a cellphone to check wikipedia. My brain is a gigantic pile of memorized shit. You don't want to be me though.
I used to memorize books, entire books, every paragraph, and every page number, and location of paragraphs as a sick demented hobby for many years. But I am not a normal person, though others exist in history like myself. I avoid memorizing books now to avoid damaging my mind.
My mind races all the time, but not at frenetic speed. Even now I am processing a symphony in my mind on playback. Frenetic mania level triple tasking mind racing is reserved to the day and night before joining a new research project, a new job, moving to new home, changing something major, then I do not sleep a second for a a whole day and drive/fly like tired zombie the next day. So I know what a true "overtasked" mind can feel like, and its rare that I am trapped in high gear.... except for music in my head I guess.
Just songs playing back in my head, not even songs I heard for many many years. I will play the recordings back in my head, sometimes slow speed and study the bass lines, the chords, the exact words (harder for exact precise wording), and every note.
I tend to pick a new song every day or so, and start a new song (called "EAR WORMS") every time I take a shit and am sitting on toilet. Then I replay and analyze the song I have not heard in years, in my head, replaying the song again and again, so much that it never affects my current train of thought, and is a "background task" for my mind.

"musical imagery repetition", "involuntary musical imagery", "cognitive itch", and "stuck song syndrome"
Wikipedia says "instrumental music may cause only 7.7% of earworms" but I replay entire symphonies from classical composers in my head again and again, but I heard them 30 times first prior, and then re-playing them refreshes the neurons, refreshing the songs notes for future years.
If I have a high fever (rare) my mind snaps and gets caught in large math computation loops with not enough variables to solve and repeats reattempting to solve forever in hellish nightmare until unconscious or fever breaks.
I used to practice memorizing a few irrational famous numbers to thousands of decimal places. Complete with self-punishment If I was wrong. I am NOT Akira Haraguchi... Akira Haraguchi memorized one irrational number (Pi) to 111,700 digits before failing in a live recitation (no electronics hidden in shoe or anus) : 111,700 from memory!!!! https://www.theguardian.com/science/alexs-adventures-in-numberland/2015/mar/13/pi-day-2015-memory-memorisation-world-record-japanese-akira-haraguchi
Anyways... as I said.... you do not want to be me.
And yes.... I seem to know more about everything than anyone I ever met.

Holy crap I had no idea that was a defined thing. I've got basically a radio station of full instrumental music playing in my head near 24/7 in perfect detail minus lyrics. I just thought I was weird.
