I feel the directions, like I can sense them. I was in Mexico City and my friend was driving me to a place out of town, and I asked if we were headed east. She said "Yeah, why?" I answered. "Just feels like we're going east." This happens often. When I was a kid I needed to be facing north to tell the difference between left and right because left feels like west and right feels like east.

On the rare occasion I get it wrong, and when I realize it, it's the most disorienting and bewildering feeling until my international compass or whatever corrects itself.

As previously posted, I have major left/right problems but I do not have n/s/e/w compass issues to the same extent at all. Like, someone just said to me that they werent at all sure where north was, and I'm thinknig, it's deep winter in Ireland - the sun is so loving far south, its hardly rising above 30 degrees over the horizon -if the sun is behind you, you are probably facing north. Same thing happens, but reversed at midsummer.

I have enormous problems with “lefty loosey, righty tighty “ for undoing screws and such. They’re round. When one side goes left, the other goes right! Why would you not just use clockwise and anticlockwise??

They've done studies on this. Even people raised in cultures that use right/left follow directions more easily when they're given in compass directions instead of relative directions.

Let me blow your mind right now and tell you that people under the age of 20 barely know how a mechanic clock works. It's like asking why people don't use starboard and port while driving because a car technically has a prow and bow.

But when the top of a screw is going to the right, the bottom of the screw is going to the left. If the top of the screw is going left, the bottom is going right. Then Jesus forbid you are looking at a screw from the side because it’s at a weird angle and left and right have no relation to how the screw turns. It’s chaos I tell you. Chaos.

Yeah, that’s why clockwise/anticlockwise makes more sense to me. If you’re turning a bolt right at the top, the bottom is going left (and then up, and then right as it becomes the top). If you can only get your wrench in at the bottom, you’d be moving it left to tighten.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.
Just use the right hand rule. Point your thumb the way you want it to move, and turn it the way your fingers point as they curl into a fist.

I turn my wheel left but the back of the tire goes right, so I just travel in straight lines until I die because it doesn't make sense.

Imagine you're the screw. If you turn clockwise you're turning to your right, if you're turning anticlockwise you're turning to your left.
