I think you would pick a north depending on your place of origin. Probably from either their own planet or, more likely, their own galaxy.

But when you get to another galaxy you’d probably have to pick again. Galaxies aren’t all oriented the same way but they do roughly spin at the same speed. So, just like earth, from a certain point of view everything spins around the north south axle. But that does not have to line up to your home galaxy. And even if they did, it might spin the other way around. Much like venus spins in the opposite direction of the rest of the planets in our solar system.

What I’m trying to say is that using a universal North is completely impractical for intergalactic space travel. So you’d probably use a local system. And where that’s not possible, you’d probably use your point of origin for orientation.

Lol oops didn’t click that link. But yes

You ever seen that curved building that focused the sunlight into a spot in front of it and melted cars? Lol

Buy one already! I wanna see what they come up with next.

Valve index vr set. It’s incredible how into a game you can het. First time I played half life alyx for 3 hours straight I had to touch a wall after stopping playing because I simply got so into tje game my brain didn’t know what reality was anymore.

Being creepy to women. Or worse than creepy

Tetris, on the gameboy.

Dutch, a funky dutch dialect, English and I understand German but I don’t speak it. Should probably learn it.

Honestly I quite like it here. It’s obviously not perfect but when I compare it to other countries we do rather well.

Honestly my biggest complaint is that it’s so full. I recently visited Norway and the vast forests and just untamed nature is gorgeous and the air quality is great. But then again nothing is really far away in the Netherlands so ups and downs.

Oh right you drive 100 there, forgot about that. That makes it even more insane!

Dutch? I’m guessing because the speed limit. That’s insane though, 170 is flat out in most cars.

Same exact experience. Dutch literature is horrid. It’s a lot of sad depression and drugs. There’s a reason almost everyone read “het diner” or “het gouden ei” since those are doable. There seriously isn’t anything exciting like a detective or the stuff you mentioned. Not even a 1984, which is a depressing book but at least there’s some excitement. It really seems most Dutch literature is just pages of misery and nothing happening.

For English literature I read the lord of the rings. Way more pages, much more fun.

What’s up with cats sometimes taking a long time to think about a jump and then just completely fails anyway by making the tiniest jump?

Also catnip is like a drug for some cats right? Why does nobody find it weird people are getting their pets high?

Yes! Scientists trained dogs to stay still in an mri and showed them pictures of the dog’s owners. The areas that correspond with human joy areas lit up! Same when they smell something from their owners.

Honestly I agree. And I don’t consider them degrading if the purpose is to save your life. I find it humbling (maybe nowthe right word) that the plan is to have multiple people work together just to make sure you don’t get left behind. But in an emergency you do need multiple people’s help which is why I find them so optimistic.

I’m also happy I don’t have to use them or practice with them. It doesn’t seem very comfortable and honestly a bit scary.

My university had those bags. I found them… Optimistic

My university used to have a bag thing that was made to slide people down the stairs.

They repeatedly asked me if it would require it in case of emergency but since arthritis makes walking painful but not impossible, especially when adrenaline kicks in and my choices are pain or a fiery death, I never had to practice with the thing.

My high-school was build against a hill luckily but since some of the evacuation included leaving through the windows if the hallway is on fire I’m assuming the idea was to lift disabled people through it.

From abroad, for the love of everything please go vote. Everything in the US seems to leak out and global warming is well, global.

More positivity. Or more positivity upvoated maybe. Basically it seems like complaining and negative posts get way more attention than positive ones.

For example I keep seeing a lot of posts from the Linux community that aren’t about cool Linux things but about how bad Microsoft/Windows is. Note that I don’t follow said community so I only see the stuff that reaches the frontpage.

More posts and communities about just genuinely cool stuff would make lemmy a lot more fun to browse.
