The world has a lot of different standards for a lot of things, but I have never heard of a place with the default screw thread direction being opposite.

So does each language have a fun mnemonic?

    If japanese has one, I’ve never heard it. Japanese wife hasn’t either. She was surprised it’s a thing. She saidaybe tradesmen might, but certainly nothing everyone knows

        Probably a typo of “said maybe”

          Yes, very likely.

          Just another instance where AI said fuck this, I ain’t correcting that today.

            My dude, look at my post history. I actually noticed it and though “eh, I’ll fix it later” since my wife had finished her coffee and we wanted to free up a table for the people waiting at the cafe.

          Or a typo of “you’re gonna be the one that saves me”

          Though that’s admittedly somewhat less likely.

      So when someone changes a light bulb, which direction to turn is just a feeling in their bones?

      That’s fair.

        Japanese usually just say 時計回り (clockwise) or counter-clockwise
