Okay, I have a 50/50 chance of guessing correctly.
So, I'm going to say have a look at these neat 'Stalagmites' I found? πŸ€”πŸ˜

P.S if your country doesn’t have the freedom to roam https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom/_to/_roam there’s something inherently wrong.

The way I remember it is stalactites without the e says tits and tits hang

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Nah just remember it as stalagMites and stalacTites. T faces down and looks like a stalactite and M faces up and looks like 2 stalagmites

I learned it as stalaCtites hang from the Ceiling and stalaGmites come from the Ground.

Good one, but I still prefer the titties

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I also prefer the titties but for remembering stalactates

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 4 points 1 week ago

That's probably the best one. Otherwise I think of Mites ~ termites, and some stalagmites look vaguely like those classic termite mounds.

That's how I used to memorise it but now I feel a bit boring having read all the other comments πŸ˜„

@Wizard_Pope

I still like looking at the T and the M an seeing stalagtites/-mites. Aesthetically pleasing.

Stalagmites might reach the roof one day, and Stalactites are holding on tight, so they don't fall

Stalactites hold tote to the ceiling and stalagmites might touch the ceiling one day
