Which is Domain? When I learned this, it only started at Kevin. Nice to see folks getting more polite regarding their gay sex.

The kingdoms have changed several times, they're basically trying to use a more accurate system based on DNA using genotyping to decide which groups are more closely related and be less reliant on behavior and appearance.
Stuff being separated away makes sense I guess
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 I just assumed that everything I learned has become out of date.
See my stupid ass would remember the fun phrase but not the related factual word. So I'd just have phrases with no inkling what the original info was.
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!
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...
Sure, just tag "and subphylum, subclass, superorder, suborder" to the end, so that it's ASSSS
And you know everyone wants and ASSSS orgy

I hate that I have learned this factoid.
Ah the things I learned from TV Funhouse!
