Why didn’t you make it “great” sex?
Great Community reference btw
Remember Send Vedding Present.
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.
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 hate that I have learned this factoid.
You use taxonomy to remind you to ask Kevin over?
“Domain, Kingdom, Phy- oh no! Kevin is right there! OK, I should ask before I forget.”
Do these mnemonics actually help?
I literally couldn’t tell you a single biology fact from my year studying it in HS but I remember King Phillip Came Over From Germany Stoned.
Well I still remember Roy G. Biv and Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally so maybe?
My 9th grade Spanish teacher taught us how to remember how to say who/what/when/where/why in Spanish by putting it to the tune of Jingle Bells. To this day that’s the only thing I remember from Spanish class, so yes I can confidently confirm that they work:
🎵 Por qué, why,
Quando, when,
Qué, what; donde, where.
Cuantos, how much; cómo, how,
Quien está, who is there?
Cuál! 🎵🎵 Por qué, why,
Quando, when,
Qué, what; donde, where.
Cuantos, how much; cómo, how,
Quien está, who is there?
Which! 🎵I learned Kids Playing Catch On Freeways Get Splattered about 20 years ago and I still remember, despite never needing to use it. So, the mnemonic helps to remember, but remembering doesn’t really help me
It helps you understand the world you live in and be a well rounded individual instead of cog whose only purpose is to know the things they need to make their owner more money and nothing else.
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.
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?
The new thing seems to be “clades”. I’m not sure if it’s a complete replacement of the traditional taxonomy, though.
It isn’t, it’s just a description of evolutionary descent. An additional classification instead of a replacement.
Memorable 👍
so it was for Kevin
Why wouldn’t you use Karen…?
It’s gay sex, dummy.
So use “great”.
You can’t teach kids mnemonics about straight sex anymore, because of woke.
I thought this was sincere for a second. Totally got past my sarcasm filter.
“Who’s looking out for wealthy, white, Anglo-Saxon, evangelical, cisgendered, heterosexual men?!”
“Uh, the government?”
“Well, yeah. I meant aside from that.”
Well now I can’t remember anything!
Or good
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.
I think Karen is just as capable as Kevin of having gay sex.
Depending on how pedantic you are.
I’m starting to think no one here knows this is from a TV show…
Kevin likes to be used
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?
Didn’t know Kevin was such a sub…
spermy scat sometime soon
Sure, just tag “and subphylum, subclass, superorder, suborder” to the end, so that it’s ASSSS
And you know everyone wants and ASSSS orgy
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.
