DuckTales (2017) Headcanon:

Della Duck comes up with a mnemonic device for every new person she meets because remembering names is hard. (Especially when your family is filled with people that keep adding more people to your beautiful found family)

I always loved that little moment where we see Della still in the process of remembering her children’s names. (Thanks DuckTales (2017) staff writer Colleen Evanson!) And let’s face it, her children have met a lot of people and remembering all those things is going to be tough; so why not come up with pneumatic devices for everyone!

I did come up with a couple of mnemonic devices for Webby’s best friends, Violet and Lena, for a story I wrote: “Violet is violet” & “Nah Lee, she’s Lena”

But that’s all I got. I’m just a writer, I’m not good with words

On the subject of names and remembering them; I like to think that whenever Della is around Gyro and he refers to any of her children as “[insert color] nephew” she will correct him on the spot. But like in a condescending way. Cause of course she would

this might seem slightly immature but the way that i remember the order of Norway, Sweden, and Finland is i noticed that when you read the from left to right, it reads NSF and then there’s russia, and if you pronounce russia like a barbie it comes out Wussia. so, it then reads NSFW and now i can always remember the order 👍👍👍👍

Daylight saving is upon us!

For anyone else who struggles to remember which way the clocks are set during daylight saving time (which will happen tonight, technically tomorrow ((ie. Sunday, 31-03-2024)), at 2:00 am), here's my totally original and never-before-heard mnemonic hack:

→ Spring(/March) forward

← Fall back

(In each case, the change happens at 2:00 am on the day of, and most modern devices ((ie ones with an internet or satellite connection)) do it automatically, but analog/offline devices need to be adjusted manually!)

So there you have it folks, now you know. Godspeed, I hope y'all get through the adjustment period with no trouble!

Was trying to come up with a way to easily memorize the days of the week in Spanish and I remembered this weird nursery rhyme song from a Japanese air conditioner commercial. The song goes like this: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday comes again. I was struggling to translate it and keep to the general tune but I THINK I GOT IT. “Otra vez” literally means “again” and has the same syllable count as “comes again” in English and roughly means the same thing, so you could write it like this: Domingo, Lunes, Martes Miercoles, Jueves Jueves, Viernes, Sabado Domingo otra vez.

I’m a little iffy on the second line, but I think it more or less works for purpose of the song. It’s silly but this is going to be a really easy way for me to remember this stuff.

why is he so fuckin itty bitty

Toads are very much R strategists: they can sometimes lay tens of thousands of eggs in a single clutch. The tadpoles are very small, and metamorphose quite quickly; the froglets that emerge from the water are often very small indeed. It takes some species years to attain adult body size. This individual has probably been out of the water for about a year, I'd guess. Still got some growing to do!

#Answers by Mark #frog #toad #the mnemonic device for remembering R vs K strategy R for Rabbit #I did not make this up #but I do think it is excellent #the one caveat is that rabbits are not really R strategists #not nearly as much as toads for instance #so really it's a bit of a shit mnemonic #but at least it made the info stick in my head for years #so it fulfilled its purpose

I can't believe it's "righty tighty lefty loosey" when it SHOULD be "clockwisey tighty counterclockwisey loosey." It's literally going left and right at the same time

it wouldn’t help you it doesn’t help me it’s Friday afternoon there goes Antigone to be buried alive

#i've had this in tags somewhere before but can't find it again #how the 'filing away' of the chorus is an archiving #telling a story as mnemonic device #reading this in full finally & seeing 'archives of grief' - the curse as pattern prediction & the driving weight of history #the doubled meaning of 'house' the room of death everyone must eventually go to & antigones status as living dead #the ordering power of the archive & the cyclical nature of tragedy that can never quite catch the moment itself the unspoken the mundanity #there goes antigone to be buried alive #antigonick #sophocles #anne carson #antigone #knives #mnemonic

you have enabled me so! here is the original galaxy i wanted as my username (ngc 6946, also known as the fireworks galaxy!)

ok that's all have a nice day <3

i’m dipping a spoon into that and swirling it around and eating it. like a slushie

#these are ghost type pokémon to me #asks #ngc-5194 #i find it easier to remember urls like this when i know what they mean #or really any unusual sequence of letters or numbers #it’s just a thing in my brain even if it doesn’t seem like the reason would act as a good mnemonic device #literally just attaching anything else to the thing makes it suddenly super easy #plus i’m always curious anyway hehe

Put your hands up if you're still remembering the order of the zodiac signs by using the homestuck trolls in the year of 2024

The fact that Earthspark just HANDED us a scientific name and explicitly said that Cybertronians and Terrans are in the same genus gives me SO MUCH FUCKING PETTY BIOLOGY TO DO. Because you could argue that Cybertronians have different taxonomical lines drawn than us, especially since well in most canon continuities sexual reproduction isn't canon and Ruh Roh the definition of a species is pretty fragging reliant on that definition of "classification comprising related organisms that share common characteristics and are capable of interbreeding"

So either Cybertronians and thusly Terrans have a wide wide wide amount of intraspecies variation, or Mandroid really was being vague with how he came to his conclusions. Because if you guys know me, i often suggest that predacons are a different species than well Cybertronian Transformers (Cybertronus cybertronii as so graciously given to us) but maybe we do need to throw out the normal taxonomy chart for our beloveds.

Yes, I'm going to use Transformers as a sort of catch all term for the genus Cybertronus because that's kinda what Earthspark did and well that's canon now. I'd say use the terms set by the sapient species, but well i don't think they've thought about their own taxonomy much.

#riot rambles #cybertronian biology #tf worldbuilding? #earthspark #I'm going to need to make a new chart just for them #and mnemonic devices #because it's already established that Cybertronus t. have a nice amount of differences than Cybertronus c. #trigger warning taxonomy

It’s turnip time!

An imaginary turnip with time, that is.

The intricate, fantastical visual aids in Johannes Buno’s Memoriale Institutionum Juris don’t make much sense to us but they sure are a lot of fun.

This copy comes to us from the library of German jurist Hermann Kantorowicz and is featured in our new exhibit, Tools of the Profession: Law Books and the History of Legal Education.

I wanted so bad to learn guitar but I literally gave up because it was hard to remember the notes of the strings. To ashamed to put my account on this.

Eddie Ate Dynamite Good Bye Eddie Take this knowledge and, with my blessing, keep learning guitar, OP!
