My friend came up with almost the exact same thing during high school. The only difference is that the DK stood for “Donkey Kong”.
Dear Kevin

Why wouldn’t you use Karen…?
AngryishHumanoid@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It’s gay sex, dummy.
oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Karen can have gay sex too, if she wants.
Kratzkopf@discuss.tchncs.de 2 months ago
Well, Kevin makes more sense to have gay sex with than Karen. At least if you are male.
thoughtfuldragon@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
This is why we need more women in STEM.
chellomere@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I think Karen is just as capable as Kevin of having gay sex.

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.

We had to memorise South East Asia and its capitals. You had it easy. Look up the capital of Brunei.
We weren’t advised to use mnemonics

Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I love that show, too.
I took the liberty of looking up adjectives that start with ‘g’ and sorted them by frequency of use. I found it amusing:
Good
Green
General
Global
Grand
Golden
Guilty
Genetic
Gentle
Grim
Genuine
Gray
Growing
Graphic
Grateful
Glaring
Gracious
Greedy
Glorious
Giant
Grave
Grumpy
Gallant
Gaudy

Gray sex.
You know, sex between people of Pierce’s age.
sthetic@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
I choose guilty sex.
It makes it a little raunchy, without explaining why.

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

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.
So this surprises me not at all (in fact, I think I’ve heard it before, but as “Black Boys * * *”).
foo@feddit.uk 2 months ago
It’s actually worse still. When I first heard it, the second B wasn’t “boys”. I’m Gen X and it was disgusting to hear even back then. Please don’t lump us in with the boomers. A lot changed in a few short years.

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.
lemmyingly@lemm.ee 2 months ago
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.
Cuberoot@lemmynsfw.com 2 months ago
For those who enjoy a little racism with their misogyny, there’s a way to disambiguate one of the B colors.
lemmyingly@lemm.ee 2 months ago
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.

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%).

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
Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 months ago
What are learned domains?
funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
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)

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?
ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 2 months ago
Didn’t know Kevin was such a sub…
southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Sure, just tag “and subphylum, subclass, superorder, suborder” to the end, so that it’s ASSSS
And you know everyone wants and ASSSS orgy

Taxonomy is much more complicated than I remember from high school. For one thing I thought it started with Kingdom, which consisted of Animal and Plant. There’s like 20x more to it. And I actually liked school and mostly paid attention. WTF?
exasperation@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
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.
Bosht@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.

PEMDAS for order of operations, we had BEDMAS which seemed memorable on it’s own, since we called these ‘()’ brackets and multiplication and division are equal so can be either way
meyotch@slrpnk.net 2 months ago
Unequivocally yes.
I got a contest going with my plant systematics cohort (8 credit hours over an academic year, that’s a lot of plant id work). We would see who could come up with the filthiest mnemonics to remember plant families and such.
Our professor, a brilliant botanist with a filthy mind and tenure, was delighted beyond measure at how well the entire cohort did on the practical plant ID exams. But mostly he enjoyed watching our classroom discussions.

Hoimo@ani.social 2 months ago
I don’t understand why you’d ever need to know this. What is a phylum anyway? Which animals share a phylum? Are bonobos and chimpanzees in a phylum, a family, a class? And what does that tell us about their relation that we couldn’t already tell from their characteristics?
