That's a pedantic way to answer a question that you understand the purpose of, but are choosing to answer it hyper literally. So, I'll respond hyper literally. You don't remember anything about before you were born because you weren't there to experience it. You're recalling scientific theories and stories passed down through the years about historic events that took place before your birth.

The question again since you want to be hyper literal is "what do you remember about 'your life' before you were born?". It's a thought experimemt to make you think about the totality and finite of nothingness.

I get what you meant by the question but I'm trying to demonstrate that it is impossible for us to conceptualize what nothingness is without something. It's a philosophical issue that science can't answer. You're welcome to whatever beliefs and answers to the question you like, but without a way to falsify it, that's all it is. A belief* (edited correction to autocorrect). Not scientific truth.

Further edit: just to be sure I'm clear, you've asked me to imagine what life was like before I was born, thereby pointing to my birth, which is something. My life is something. I don't know what life would be like without
