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

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 10 points 2 weeks ago

If you're at the pole, just walk due south.

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.

[–] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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.

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 5 points 2 weeks ago

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.

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.

[–] lugal@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If I learned anything in geography class than that west is on the left

[–] zqps@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

And North is in space

[–] raynethackery@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Go west. Life is peaceful there. Go west. Lots of open air.

[–] bluewing@lemm.ee 9 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

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.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That sounds really nice. I’m sure I could develop the skill, but I have to check the Sun

how do people not orient themselves?

[–] lauha@lemmy.one 7 points 2 weeks ago

Everytime I grt lost I just return home to get my compass and get on with my day

[–] Noved@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (3 children)

Legitimately, how do you? Without prior knowledge of the direction you are facing and the sun is right above you or you can't see it.

Cardinal directions have always been hard for me and I'm only now just starting to use them out of job necessity.

Left and right takes a second most of the time, ask me to look north and it's going to be a long while.

If I'm somewhere new or lost like op, it's just cruel to say "go west"

[–] iamnotme@feddit.uk 6 points 2 weeks ago

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?

[–] flicker@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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.

I only started remembering which side west is (relative to north) when I started thinking of "the wild west" and then thinking of where the wild west was. Still can't use it in the real world for anything though. At most if I'm at my own town I know approximately where north is, but anywhere else I'll quickly lose the sense of which direction is which.

[–] Album@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

You're not supposed to intrinsically have your sense of direction in an unfamiliar location. Some people can do that but assuming you're not paying full attention on your way to a new location it's actually normal and expected to have to get your bearings which means taking a moment to orient yourself and figure out what direction is what. And then it's easy to forget (let's say you step into a store) until you build a sense of landmarks. Also the more dense a location the harder it is because it's more complex.

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.

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