A mnemonic is "is any learning technique that aids information retention".
I thought I'd start a thread on this to see what tips other people have for remembering things, and not having to record them anywhere.
There's no more secure of keeping track of URLs, addresses, usernames etc than never having to record them at all.
Mnemonics can be really useful for "keeping your house clean".
For me, it's as simple as creating a scenario or scene in my head with the letters/numbers I'm trying to remember.
For example (this is the most absurd one that comes to mind currently):
The onion URL for tormail is: jhiwjjlqpyawmpjx.onion
So, the scene I created for this address involves a Russian barman and customer:
Just Have It With Jungle Juice. Like, Quit Playing Yellow Accordian! We Make Party! Just Xylophone! (.onion)
Anyone else have any good mnemonic tips?
Any stupid ones like mine to share?

lol that's nice.
.onion pseudo-domain names are hard to remember. I learn them by heart in little bits. To remember the link to this forum, I learned it in three parts:
dkn255 - hz262 - ypmii (pronounced like ASCII).
I had to rehearse it a few times before I finally remembered it.
The Tormail one is really impossible.
