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.
Instructions unclear, I'm at the north pole
If you're at the pole, just walk due south.
If it's night and you can see both the Southern Cross and the Pointers it's pretty trivial to determine south; if you're in the northern hemisphere you get it even easier with Polaris to mark north.
Yes. Maps always have up as north. So just hold a map in front of you, and forward direction is north. Easy.
North is W
West is A
South is S
East is D
... unless you hit Q or E and rotated the camera, in which case you're fucked.
....help.... Im fucked.
Just walk up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, then jump and shoot someone.
It worked! I teleported to prison!
OK but no you know where the sun rises and sets if youre in a familiar place atleast
Do I look like the person who would get lost in a familiar place?
Actually, don't answer that.
It hurts me that people don't realise you know where the sun rises and sets (roughly), anywhere, by looking up and roughly knowing what time it is. Other than midday, then fair enough.
If I learned anything in geography class than that west is on the left
And North is in space
What? You don't have an internal compass that keeps you oriented? For some reason I seem to be a lucky person that just knows which compass direction I'm going no matter where I am. And it's a very weird and frightening feeling if I do get disoriented. I had some pain meds after a surgery that did that to me. Flushed them damn things down the toilet after the first 2 I took.
That sounds really nice. I’m sure I could develop the skill, but I have to check the Sun
While I'm sure there is learned effort, I do feel like there is something inside my brain that just has a connection to north somehow. Kind of like how ducks and geese know which way to travel when migrating. I can't really explain it well.
One time I called 911 because I was following a drunk driver that had collided with multiple vehicles and kept driving. The operator asked me what direction so I looked at my maps app and it said I was going west so I told them west and they said “Sir that street doesn’t run west.” I was speechless after that.
So you might've been going west, but not westbound. Roads curve often in the USA (i'm guessing you are from the USA because 911)
East is sunrise. West is sunset. The sun will also always be slightly south and even more so in the winter (unless you're in the southern hemisphere then it's slightly north).
If your local area has some kind of landmark like a big tower, or a big lake, learn where that is relative to you and use it as a reference point. For me, I live near a big lake and it's always south of me. It might be easier for you to ask yourself "which way is the lake?" instead of "which way is south?" or whatever your landmark and direction happen to be.
This is the best part about growing up in Colorado. The mountains are west. It's like having a cheat mode compass enabled all the time.
Go west. Life is peaceful there. Go west. Lots of open air.
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.
Coloradans be like "just look at the mountains smh"
I mean their profile pic is them outdoors on a paddle board, so first impressions is yea maybe you do know cardinal directions? Anyone who spends extended time outdoors should.
how do people not orient themselves?
Everytime I grt lost I just return home to get my compass and get on with my day
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?
Just always walk twords the sun
Left.
East? I thought you said weast.
