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
M137@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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

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”.
qyron@sopuli.xyz 10 months ago
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.

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
victorz@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Where you at? Iceland? Italy? Give me a hint!
Jumi@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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
tubaruco@lemm.ee 10 months ago
how would i know the way to the kitchen without a compass?

I have a real compass I use as little as the compass app
AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 10 months ago
At least you don’t have to recalibrate it every time you want to use it.
RandomVideos@programming.dev 10 months ago
Use a real compass.
There are also online compasses that you dont need any app for
lud@lemm.ee 10 months ago
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 work around you can just use your preferred maps app which almost always has a compass integrated.
hperrin@lemmy.world 10 months ago
The Boy Scouts trained me for this moment.
soulfirethewolf@lemdro.id 10 months ago
Sure, given that I don’t really have a compass app anyway
Coreidan@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Not with that attitude you don’t
GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 10 months ago
The Sun exists 😂
Possible_EmuWrangler@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Imma go see if the Southern Cross is still a thing. Or maybe I should just load up with two weeks of beer and wait it out. Why not both?
thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 10 months ago
I almost feel like you’d have to be completely daft if you can’t find the Crux. It’s like that space of stars is so distinct, nothing else in the southern sky comes close.
RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Yes. Because you can use a watch to do the same thing.
underwire212@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Truu the seconds hand always points true north 🙏
LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I legitimately remember needing a compass at least once but could never figure out how to use those compass apps.
lilsolar@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
It’s pretty self explanatory it’s a compass lol
LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I know but it still didn’t make sense to me. No matter which way I pointed my phone, the compass showed north.
frokie@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I’ll just stay home for two days without needing to know anything about which dure tío anything faces?
TIMMAY@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I never use that app for its main purpose but I do play around with it occasionally. I recently found im at about ~780 ft above sea level (idk what that is in logical units like meters probably at least 4 meters murica)
ToxicWaste@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Spend 2.50$ for a physical compass
cmbabul@lemmy.world 10 months ago
You guys are using the compass app?
MeatsOfRage@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Get a load of this guy, just walking around all aimless
EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 10 months ago
How does he even find maidens.
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 10 months ago
I just use the sun and stars, and occasionally the moss on a tree.

What’s even the reason to have a compass without these hot and tasty radioactive markings?
notthebees@reddthat.com 10 months ago
It’s great for field work, with documenting specimen locations with coordinates and documenting transect directions.
