I think it would be much easier to explain left/right if you used a weathervane as a visual aid.

Shithouse Dave posted:I have enormous problems with “lefty loosey, righty tighty “ for undoing screws and such. They’re round. When one side goes left, the other goes right! Why would you not just use clockwise and anticlockwise?? Because Lefty Loosey is alliterative, and righty tighty rhymes. Thats why, its to help people remember. There arent many good relevant rhymes for clockwise.

Why would you not just use clockwise and anticlockwise?? Instead of having an existential crisis about existing in three dimensions, think of it as turning your hand left(y loosey) to undo the screw vs turning your hand right(y tighty) to tighten it.

Oh my god have you people never done the right-hand trick? Take your right hand and do a thumbs-up and point your thumb where you want the screw to go. The way your fingers curl is how you turn the screw driver. Goons constantly amaze me that they can survive with this little common sense.

Swastikas aside that's still loving nonsensical. The point, as viewed from your point of view, is clockwise, or right. Thats why it has a loving name. Can you not drive west because at some point you are, from your current position, actually driving east? We don't live in a 2D world. Jfc theres no way this isn't an absurd troll that I'm falling for.

I understand the "but part is going left" thing For righty tighty, it's the top part of the screw relative to your vision, just as if it were a steering wheel. HTH you are no longer confused.

The problem with right-hand rules is that there are also some left-hand rules and I can never remember which applies to what.

It’s so high that your head is just level with the bottom of the wheel. You can still reach in front of you and grab the spoke hanging down to turn the wheel though. Which way do you move the spoke to turn the wheel clockwise?
