Memory tricks Memes

Chemistry professors really said "how can we make memorizing the periodic table less boring?" and chose violence. The top mnemonic uses a dramatic soap opera plot (He Never Arrived; Karen eXited with Ron) to help students remember noble gases (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn). But the lanthanide series mnemonic? That's just a professor who decided their tenure was secure enough to risk it all. Taking the first letters of each element and crafting what might be the most inappropriate memory aid in academic history. Somewhere, a chemistry department head is having a meltdown while students absolutely never forget the lanthanide sequence. Educational efficiency at its finest!
