You guys are using the compass app?
Get a load of this guy, just walking around all aimless
How does he even find maidens.
Yeah, like the fair ones? How does he do it?
Methinks he prefers unfair maidens, if you know what I mean…
If you DO know, could you fill me in? I haven’t the foggiest 🤷
I just use the sun and stars, and occasionally the moss on a tree.
That last one’s actually a myth
Moss doesn’t exist
Seriously, I don’t even know anymore what’s true with moss.
Grew up with that saying “moss grows heaviest on the north side of a tree” and then maybe in high school or in my early 20’s (there was definitely a sizeable period where tons of stuff I grew up being taught was being “um actually’d” as historians or scientists learned more) it was debunked.
But naturalists and park rangers and shit still say it’s semi true; moss does grow heavier to the north on particular trees, and other specific conditions. Which is just more confusing. 😵💫
You aren’t?!
It’s great for field work, with documenting specimen locations with coordinates and documenting transect directions.
What’s even the reason to have a compass without these hot and tasty radioactive markings?
Couldn’t do it, my life would immediately go south
How would you even know??
Big Dipper gang ! * '* * * * * *Hey, get that bare bear ass out of here or at least warn with a nsfw tag or something
I haven’t touched the compass app in two years but knowing me I’d open it by accident during the two days
Haven’t even thought about it being a thing since the iPhone 5. And I’m pretty sure it hasn’t been a standard app for years now.
If youre on android go and disable it
I love these
You get 500mil but you have to live in this mansion
You get a trillion dollars but you have to spend the rest of your life breathing air 😱
I haven’t used a compass in years except to prove I knew which direction the building was in for my boss.
Knowing when specific stars are at night and where the sun is (where shadows point) will tell you where north is. Knowing this stuff is why I can’t really get lost. One time I tried but even in dense forest, the shadows never lie
PSA, never go into a dense forest thinking “I can’t get lost”.
You can get lost in the middle of nowhere but I always wonder why finding a direction seems to be such an endeavour for most/so many people.
Sun rises in the east, sets at the west. Face the sun, on your left is west, south is behind your ass.
Sun is not always visible, where I live there is frequently completely uniform grey skies. Also depending on your latitude and time of year you’ll have to adjust or you’ll be quite a bit off.
In my city it’s even easier, there’s a friggin huge volcano right to the west, the city it’s built at its foot. Just look at the volcano and left is south, right is north
Where you at? Iceland? Italy? Give me a hint!
According to previous comments they seem to live in Ecuador.
Pompeii
And if you don’t know which direction to go just go downhill. It has the highest chance of finding a river and humans always liked to settle on rivers.
If you’re lost in a forest, don’t talk to the shadows.
nah I need to check my compass every 3 seconds or I go crazy
how would i know the way to the kitchen without a compass?
Oh god I don’t know man I’d be jonesin’ for some ‘pass if I stop using it for too long
Totally worth losing out on that $250 million not go into withdrawal
'pass
Pronounced “piss”
Amen brrrrother
What good would money be if I can’t find the store?
i blocked the instagram accout that was spewing these bullshit “you get X big number money but you can’t do Y thing you already dont do for a laughably small space of time”
but it’s followed me here
Your problem is Instagram. I would know because it is an issue for me as well.
I never use the compass app. I simply pick a direction and walk. Wherever I stop is where I truly wanted to go.
A holistic traveler. You just wander and always end up wherever you’re supposed to be.
You know that every time I try to go Where I really wanna be It’s already where I am 'Cause I’m already there
I have a real compass I use as little as the compass app
At least you don’t have to recalibrate it every time you want to use it.
The Boy Scouts trained me for this moment.
Use a real compass.
There are also online compasses that you dont need any app for
Or no compass at all.
Compasses are useless in daily life unless you are orienteering every day or are on a boat or something.
But if we have to find workarounds, you can just use your preferred map app which almost always has a compass integrated.
Sure, given that I don’t really have a compass app anyway
Not with that attitude you don’t
