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.
No. I keep trying to go but its always too far!
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.
East? I thought you said Weast.
M for Mancy
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.
Or… the sun is south at noon. Where is the sun at noon? That’s south.
Lol this guy over here using the stars to navigate.
Same but reversed in the SLC area, mountains mean East. Having lived on both sides, West is definitely better
If I learned anything in geography class than that west is on the left
And North is in space
What, doesn’t everyone have a haptic compass belt?
Should’ve just put one motor on each nipple and to direct you if north is left or right.
No but I do have something haptic in the back.
That one’s for chess moves.
Go west. Life is peaceful there. Go west. Lots of open air.
Your phone is a compass
The brainrot is strong in that one.
What are you on about? Try making sense next time.
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.
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.
I’m with you. Short of that one day dead noon Hawaii or the middle of a forest I feel like there are clues to approximate North and South even when I’m discombobulated.
how do people not orient themselves?
The birth of the GPS. Basic navigation is a dying skill, a lot of people don’t even know what to do with a map without a big blue dot showing where you are
East? I thought you said weast.
Coloradans be like “just look at the mountains smh”
If you are confused, check with the sun. Carry a compass to help you along. Your feet are going to be on the ground. Your head is there to move you around.
Stand in the place where you live. Now face north.
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)
