If it's before noon: Go away from the sun.

If it's after noon: Go toward the sun.

If it's night... Wait for morning, and go away from the sun.

Opposite to the east.

If I learned anything in geography class than that west is on the left

I have problems telling right from left. At least I'm the moment, if I take my time I can tell.

But I almost always know my cardinal directions

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If you extend your thumb and first finger, the L shape that is the correct way around is on your left hand.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Yeah I know when I have time to think about it.

It's just when people say: 'go left here' or me throng to indicate direction in a split second that my change of getting it right reduced to 50%. My brain doesn't grok that left right isn't absolute but related to orientation.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Just remember that port is a 4 letter word and so is left. So left is port and right is starboard.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Thnx, very helpful.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What helped me as a kid is imagine to write. That's my left hand and than I know which is which without thinking too consciously (in case you're right handed, it's the other way around obviously).

But interesting that you know absolute directions easily. That's a cultural thing actually. I think Australian Aborigines will say things like "my western foot hurts" because it's more intuitive for them that way.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

If I think for it for s second I know, I'll think about my dominant hand too (although my dominant feet is on the opposite side so I don't have a clear dominant side).

Yeah the aboriginal method seems way more intuitive to me, yet it probably won't replace the left right system anytime soon :p

I don't know why, but the phone compass is always so shit.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I think it depends on how you hold it.

It's easy. When you imagine south as a north being on the top then west is on the east side from it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Great. I'm laying in bed, and now I'm lost. Thanks.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

Go west. Life is peaceful there. Go west. Lots of open air.

What have the pop band from the 80s got to do with the direction? Is there some code in their lyrics that will point her the right way?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Should've just put one motor on each nipple and to direct you if north is left or right.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No but I do have something haptic in the back.

When you're lost, walk downhill, or downstream, until you reach the sea, or a McDonalds.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

If you reach an Arby's, you've gone the wrong way, crawl back into the wilderness, it's safer there.
