Stalactites hold tight. Stalagmites might.

See, if it's hanging from the ceiling it must be holding tight, innit?

Never forgot it after hearing this in the 4th grade.

Stalactite holds on tight.

Stalagmite might poke you in the ass.

Stalactites hold tight to the ceiling with stalagmites might make it up there someday.

Stalactites have to hang tight or they'll fall.

See my country claims that enough lands are publicly owned to not need that, except the same party saying that is constantly dismantling that too. Its almost like they were being disingenuous.

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.

Good one, but I still prefer the titties

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 1 points 11 minutes 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.
