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

Do you “write” with your “right” hand? That’s how I remember.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Like I said repeatedly. If I get to think about it I know what side is what. It's only in the moment when I falter

[–] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago

I only mention it as for the last forty years or so every time that someone has said left or right I’ve twitched my hands to work out which one I hold a pen(cil) with. Takes less than half a second and I don’t need to look at them either. It’s not unique not immediately knowing which is which. Live with it.

All roads lead to East New Westersouth.

If you don't specify the point of reference, I will use the world's west as it's conceived. if not, say "your left" or something.

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I think they mean it's not straight West. Depends on the season and the longitude as well.

[–] Nexy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 5 days ago

Close enough west it's ok if they tell it in such a causal manner, I suppose?

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

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

The Sun rises in the East and sets in the west.

With East on your right and west on your left you would be facing north.

You can tell which side of the equator you are on by the way water swirls. Northern Hemisphere water drains clockwise. If water draining has no spin then you're on the equator.

Sometimes the moss on trees is enough of an indicator, as moss growing on only one side of a tree means no sunlight reaches it and the moss faces the direction opposite of the equator.
