You use taxonomy to remind you to ask Kevin over?
Ah, the new Lemmy flipperoo
Hold my Kevin (gives him a smooch), I’m going in!
P.S !lemmaroo@lemmy.world exists
My friend came up with almost the exact same thing during high school. The only difference is that the DK stood for “Donkey Kong”.
Can’t say it wasn’t memorable!
I’ve also said Donkey Kong for years!
When I was in 9th grade our geography teacher put us in groups and assigned each of us a group of countries to memorize. We were given the task of creating a mnemonic to help us memorize. We got central America.
Panama, Costa arica, Nicaragua Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Belize, Mexico.
Please Call Nick He Sucks Good Butt Man.
It has been over 30 years and I’ve still never called Nick, but I’ll never forget central America.
Why wouldn’t you use Karen…?
It’s gay sex, dummy.
So use “great”.
Well now I can’t remember anything!
Or good
Karen can have gay sex too, if she wants.
Well, Kevin makes more sense to have gay sex with than Karen. At least if you are male.
This is why we need more women in STEM.
The hero we needed, but not the one we deserved.
Thank you, ThotDragon, for supporting the queer and feminist parts of the scientific community.
I think Karen is just as capable as Kevin of having gay sex.
I’m starting to think no one here knows this is from a TV show…
Kevin likes to be used
There’s a particularly horrible one people used to use to remember resistor color codes-
“Bad Boys Rape Our Young Girls But Violet Gives Willingly.”
Black, brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, gray, white
Boomer Bigots Rely On Yellow-bellied Garbage By Vulgarizing General Wisdom
For those who enjoy a little racism with their misogyny, there’s a way to disambiguate one of the B colors.
The racist term I was taught when I was a young person
(Color of darkness) (fatherless children) (coerced non-consensual reproduction activities) our (new people to the world) (XX people) but (pure people) go without.
I hate reading resistor color codes because which is the correct orientation for the resistor. Band gaps and positions on real world resistors don’t stand out as much as what the theoretical charts show - so I always meter them anyway.
You can say >!black bastards rape our young girls but virgins go without!< on here. We’re not reddit.
Edit - Evidently I was wrong, a mod has informed me that I need a spoiler tag
I was so confused lmao
Can you please put that in a spoiler tag at least lmao.

Having worked with a bunch of Boomer and older Gen X EEs, it is a fucking misogynistic boys club of white ass old men with undiagnosed autism. I have never heard so many racist and sexist jokes in the workplace (except when I worked in VC, and those guys were JUST sexist).
So this surprises me not at all (in fact, I think I’ve heard it before, but as “Black Boys * * *”).
What the fuck
To add to this, my dad told me that “Get Some Now” was sometimes tacked on to indicate tolerance levels. Gold (5%), Silver (10%), Nothing (0%).
Black, brown, then the fucking colors of the rainbow in order, gray, white.
If you need a mnemonic to memorize that, you’re gonna have some trouble actually building out your lookup table in your head of immediately knowing that red=2, yellow=4, etc.
I’ve never clocked on that the colors are in the order of the rainbow. Mind blown that it’s taken your comment to highlight this for me.
I also like that the colors surrounding are shades of lightness… cough cough let’s ignore the brown.
It’s for those of us that prefer our circuit components to be LGBTQ+ friendly. Fuck those SMD resistors.
I remember telling my bio-chem mom about ‘King Phillip Came Over For Great Spaghetti’ in middle school. Didn’t realize why she chuckled until later.
Remember Send Vedding Present.

Wow, my bf’s name is Kenny and we love having gay sex, so this is perfect for me!
Is he a ratfucker
My GCSE bio class taught something along the lines of “Dear kinky prostitutes, come over for great sex”
Interesting. Kevin showed up either way.
The man loves his work. You gotta admire it.
From 20 feet away with a full NBC suit and some plastic sheeting, but you gotta.
I can never remember that. Thanks!
I feel like Community inadvertently helped so many biology students in the past 10 years.
due to the ‘Dont Say Gay’ bill my biology teacher said it was “great sex” instead of “gay sex”.
literally 1984
Great (gay) sex
See my stupid ass would remember the fun phrase but not the related factual word. So I’d just have phrases with no inkling what the original info was.
Literally taught my son about Prince Philip a few hours ago. And learned domains is a thing now. Wish I could show him this for the serendipity but def no lol
What are learned domains?
i think theyre referring to the mnemonic
King Phillip Came Over From Great Spain
=
Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
and theyre saying they should add Domains to this (that precedes Kingdom)
Ohh, they learned that domains exist. Silly me. Lol I was ready for some epistemology, ngl.
Yeah, I reread it - that was a critical missing word! Sorry!
Taxonomy is much more complicated than I remember from high school. For one thing I thought the top level was Kingdom, consisting of Animal and Plant. There’s like 50x more to it. And I actually liked school and mostly paid attention. WTF?
When I learned about taxonomy in the 90’s they hadn’t really sequenced many genomes, so taxonomy was still very much phenotype driven, rather than the modern genetic/molecular approaches. I just assumed that everything I learned has become out of date.
Anybody got a sexy mnemonic that includes subphylum, subclass, superorder, suborder, etc? Or, more to the point, what taxonomic system gets us to the orgy the fastest?
Sure, just tag “and subphylum, subclass, superorder, suborder” to the end, so that it’s ASSSS
And you know everyone wants and ASSSS orgy
spermy scat sometime soon
