    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

      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 * * *”).

        It’s actually worse still. When I first heard it, the second B wasn’t “boys”. I’m Gen X and it was disgusting to hear even back then. Please don’t lump us in with the boomers. A lot changed in a few short years.

        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.

      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.

        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.

    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.

    Taxonomy is much more complicated than I remember from high school. For one thing I thought the top level was Kingdom, consisting of Animal and Plant. There’s like 50x more to it. And I actually liked school and mostly paid attention. WTF?

      When I learned about taxonomy in the 90’s they hadn’t really sequenced many genomes, so taxonomy was still very much phenotype driven, rather than the modern genetic/molecular approaches. I just assumed that everything I learned has become out of date.
