due to the ‘Dont Say Gay’ bill my biology teacher said it was “great sex” instead of “gay sex”.

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

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 1 day 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 1 day 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.

For those who enjoy a little racism with their misogyny, there’s a way to disambiguate one of the B colors.
lemmyingly@lemm.ee 1 day 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%).

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

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.

The kingdoms have changed several times, they’re basically trying to use a more accurate system based on DNA using genotyping to decide which groups are more closely related and be less reliant on behavior and appearance.

Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 days ago
What are learned domains?
funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 2 days 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)
LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 1 day ago
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 1 day 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.

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?
