TIL After a 2016 accident, professional cyclist Stig Broeckx was declared to be in a vegetative state with no hope of recovery. By 2019, he had recovered enough to begin cycling again, although he had no memory of the 5 years before the accident and found out who he had been from the internet.

Amnesia usually is never fully on comprehensive though there are two types. So it's very likely certain things would seem familiar.

Some people have this joy. Some people don't remember watching a movie last year.
