ICQ will stop working on June 26. It’s encouraging users to migrate to a messaging app from Russia-based VK, its parent company.

I stopped using ICQ in the very early 00s. I didn’t know anything of it still remained.

    For some reason short strings of digits have always stuck really well in my memory. I still remember my high school locker combos and every phone number I’ve ever had.

      813-823-6615 was my childhood number until I was 10. My mom sang it to us. Never thought to remember my lock code. 0-31-10.

        I taught my kids our address and my telephone number through songs when they were little. Music makes learning abstract things like that way easier. I teach the quadratic formula wihh a song to my Algebra students every year.
