At one point in my childhood, my dad made the comment, “Women don’t know compass directions.” I took offense to that and made a point to learn them to prove him wrong.

I felt vindicated in high school when he was coming to pick me up from a friend’s house and said, “I’m at the gas station. Do I go left or right?” I told him there were several gas stations on the way, and asked which direction he was facing to figure out which one he was by. He couldn’t tell me and finally hung up on me in a huff.

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

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

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

It's that way right where I'm pointing

Looking North, West and East spell "we".

Sorted.

Never Enter Stinky Washrooms

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

But you have to memorize if that's CW or CCW. I'd forget.

[–] Snazz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Im think it was designed with a clock in mind. That’s why it starts with north at the 12:00 position and goes clockwise. I learned it as ‘Never Eat Soggy Waffles’ but I’m sure there are a bunch of these.

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

It's the saying i learned as a kid. I'd picture a compass and repeat the words.

[–] WereCat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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

Opposite to the east.

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

[–] brey1013@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week 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.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 3 points 1 week ago (3 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.

[–] Filthmontane@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

Worst case scenario, download a compass app for your phone, but watch out for scams that will require heavy network traffic

iPhone/appleWatch may have one already, but I don’t know about android

[–] superkret 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I feel like while your phone has battery, there are easier ways to navigate than a compass.

[–] potpotato@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No data, no map.

GPS can give your coordinates, but that’s pointless unless you walk a bit and translate the direction.

Compass uses most of its power for the screen.

[–] superkret 3 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Do you have a minute to talk about Openstreetmap? You can download the map before you head out, then navigate without data connection.

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This requires foresight. Most people don't plan on getting lost.

[–] superkret 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I just use the app for navigation so I always download the map for the area I travel to before I go.

iOS has a built in compass app.

[–] nepenthes@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

So does Android. This phone is old and it's on the edge menu (Samsung).screenshot of compass face
