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.
The moon would like a word
There’s no idiom for which way the moon rises and sets 🤷🏻♂️.
*Advice not applicable if you are north or south of a given latitude.
stuck somewhere where the sun doesn’t set for like a month
Do… Do I wait?
Haha, yes there’s that extreme. However that effect is a gradient. You start to notice it north of the 60th parallel (Canada where the bulk of the population lives) but it’s only slight. In winter the sun is just slightly south of the middle of the sky.
Here in Campbell River BC we are at the 50th parallel, and on Saturday at Noon (we are out of DST now so we are talking true noon) the sun was to the direct south, 45 degrees to the horizon. It rises and sets… but to the SE, S and SW.
My initial thought when reading your comment was a response about differentiation of both hemispheres, but the way you wrote it was actually quite clever, so kudos for that! :D
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!
If I learned anything in geography class than that west is on the left
And North is in space
Your phone is a compass
I don’t know why, but the phone compass is always so shit.
I think it depends on how you hold it.
That’s what I said
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!
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.
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
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.
East? I thought you said Weast.
No I said yeast.
Boyle is that you?
No I said geese
M for Mancy
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.
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.
You should probably mention which regions this advice is limited to, to avoid confusing people from outside those regions who see your advice and misapply it.
Same but reversed in the SLC area, mountains mean East. Having lived on both sides, West is definitely better
Go west. Life is peaceful there. Go west. Lots of open air.
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.
Coloradans be like “just look at the mountains smh”
Left.
The brainrot is strong in that one.
What are you on about? Try making sense next time.
