Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

MODERATORS
Feel free to think what you want, but that what the current research suggests.
The Wikipedia page on childhood amnesia actually has some pretty good references on this linked. Humans are also really good at creating and modifying memories to implant new ones or change existing ones.
Your links actually show mixed opinions on Childhood Amnesia. The second paragraph in the Wikipedia article says children are capable of retaining memories before the age of two, which refutes your claim that we can’t retain them until after 5 years old.
You might want to reread that (or check the actual linked research), it doesn’t say “retain” it says “remember”. It’s referring to recall specifically in children to establish when those memories start to fade or become inaccurate. The studies linked were regarding interviews with those who were still children. For example, the Cleveland & Reese study was interviewing 5½ year olds. The Tustin et al paper provides a better timeline comparison at various age stages.
