  I hate that I have learned this factoid.

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

  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?

    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.

    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 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.

    • DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social ⁨46⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago

      It isn’t, it’s just a description of evolutionary descent

  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.

• scbasteve7@lemm.ee ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  Why wouldn’t you use Karen…?

  source

  • AngryishHumanoid@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    It’s gay sex, dummy.

    source

    • Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      So use “great”.

    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.

    • chellomere@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I think Karen is just as capable as Kevin of having gay sex.

  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

  source

  • Lemminary@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    What are learned domains?

    source

    • funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ 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)

  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?

  • goldfndr@lemmy.ml ⁨48⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago

    spermy scat sometime soon

  • ouRKaoS@lemmy.today ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

    Didn’t know Kevin was such a sub…

    source
  • southsamurai@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Sure, just tag “and subphylum, subclass, superorder, suborder” to the end, so that it’s ASSSS

    And you know everyone wants and ASSSS orgy
