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

literally 1984

Great (gay) sex

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

Sex On Hard Concrete Always Harms The Orgasmic Areas.

[-] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

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

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.

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

[-] Liz@midwest.social 4 points 1 day ago

Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya

Stuff being separated away makes sense I guess

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

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

Is he a ratfucker

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

[-] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

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.

[-] 0x0@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

Kevin goes both ways.

[-] seven_phone@lemmy.world 114 points 2 days ago

You use taxonomy to remind you to ask Kevin over?

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 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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.

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.

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%).

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!

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.

[-] psud@aussie.zone 2 points 18 hours ago

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

[-] Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

I can never remember that. Thanks!

[-] BlackPenguins@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

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

[-] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 days ago

Remember Send Vedding Present.
