Reminds us of how one of our teachers taught us SOHCAHTOA:

Sex On Hard Concrete Always Harms The Orgasmic Areas.

[-] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 hours ago

due to the 'Dont Say Gay' bill my biology teacher said it was "great sex" instead of "gay sex".

literally 1984

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Great (gay) sex

[-] mondomon@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago
[-] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 hours ago

Which is Domain? When I learned this, it only started at Kevin. Nice to see folks getting more polite regarding their gay sex.

[-] Bane_Killgrind@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 hour ago

Stuff being separated away makes sense I guess

[-] MDCCCLV@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 hours ago

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.

[-] ada@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 hours ago

Archaea and Everything Else (I can't remember the other domain)

[-] Liz@midwest.social 4 points 4 hours ago

Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya

Wow, my bf's name is Kenny and we love having gay sex, so this is perfect for me!

[-] trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world 8 points 11 hours ago

Is he a ratfucker

[-] Dragonborn3810@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

My GCSE bio class taught something along the lines of "Dear kinky prostitutes, come over for great sex"

[-] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Interesting. Kevin showed up either way.

[-] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 hours ago

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.

[-] 0x0@lemmy.zip 2 points 11 hours ago

Kevin goes both ways.

[-] markovs_gun@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

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

[-] thebardingreen@lemmy.starlightkel.xyz 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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 * * *").

For those who enjoy a little racism with their misogyny, there's a way to disambiguate one of the B colors.

[-] lemmyingly@lemm.ee 5 points 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.

[-] markovs_gun@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

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

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 2 points 5 hours ago

Can you please put that in a spoiler tag at least lmao.

[-] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

I was so confused lmao

[-] exasperation@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 day ago

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 6 points 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.

[-] the_tab_key@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

It's for those of us that prefer our circuit components to be LGBTQ+ friendly. Fuck those SMD resistors.

[-] HakunaHafada@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day ago

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%).

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

What the fuck

I can never remember that. Thanks!

[-] BlackPenguins@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

I feel like Community inadvertently helped so many biology students in the past 10 years.

[-] WhatThaFudge@lemmy.sdf.org 23 points 1 day ago

Why didn't you make it "great" sex?

Great Community reference btw

[-] markovs_gun@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

It's pride month

You use taxonomy to remind you to ask Kevin over?

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!

[-] MumboJumbo@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

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.
