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

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

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.

[-] Bloodshot@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

Good one, but I still prefer the titties

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

I also prefer the titties but for remembering stalactates

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

Tites come down, mites go up.
