I literally couldnât tell you a single biology fact from my year studying it in HS but I remember King Phillip Came Over From Germany Stoned.
I got a contest going with my plant systematics cohort (8 credit hours over an academic year, thatâs 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.

Depends on the mnemonic. It has to flow and you have to know the steps individually. Although there was one time I spent so long trying to come up with a good mnemonic for the citric acid cycle that I just learned it and gave up.
I donât understand why youâd 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 couldnât already tell from their characteristics?

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 Iâve heard it before, but as âBlack Boys * * *â).
Itâs actually worse still. When I first heard it, the second B wasnât âboysâ. Iâm Gen X and it was disgusting to hear even back then. Please donât lump us in with the boomers. A lot changed in a few short years.

GenX here, my father was a racist and ran with a similar racist crowd, and i was disgusted pretty soon after i started to comprehend the shit they spew.
That crap they said sometimes still comes into my mind when seeing non-whites (i heard that stuff a lot, as my father descended into his alcoholism over 2 decades), and then i firmly disagree with those thoughts and feel icky. Racism (and i believe itâs the same for sexism) is an active choice, even when growing up in a racist environment.

I hate reading resistor color codes because which is the correct orientation for the resistor. Band gaps and positions on real world resistors donât stand out as much as what the theoretical charts show - so I always meter them anyway.

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.
Yeah, I reread it - that was a critical missing word! Sorry!
You use taxonomy to remind you to ask Kevin over?
âDomain, Kingdom, Phy- oh no! Kevin is right there! OK, I should ask before I forget.â
Ah, the new Lemmy flipperoo
Hold my Kevin (gives him a smooch), Iâm going in!
P.S !lemmaroo@lemmy.world exists
Why wouldnât you use KarenâŠ?
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.
The hero we needed, but not the one we deserved.
Thank you, ThotDragon, for supporting the queer and feminist parts of the scientific community.
I think Karen is just as capable as Kevin of having gay sex.
Depending on how pedantic you are.
Itâs gay sex, dummy.
So use âgreatâ.
Well now I canât remember anything!
Or good
You canât teach kids mnemonics about straight sex anymore, because of woke.
I thought this was sincere for a second. Totally got past my sarcasm filter.
âWhoâs looking out for wealthy, white, Anglo-Saxon, evangelical, cisgendered, heterosexual men?!â

Karen can have gay sex too, if she wants.
