North is W
West is A
South is S
East is D

... unless you hit Q or E and rotated the camera, in which case you're fucked.

OK but no you know where the sun rises and sets if youre in a familiar place atleast

If it's before noon: Go away from the sun.

If it's after noon: Go toward the sun.

If it's night... Wait for morning, and go away from the sun.

East is sunrise. West is sunset. The sun will also always be slightly south and even more so in the winter (unless you're in the southern hemisphere then it's slightly north).

If your local area has some kind of landmark like a big tower, or a big lake, learn where that is relative to you and use it as a reference point. For me, I live near a big lake and it's always south of me. It might be easier for you to ask yourself "which way is the lake?" instead of "which way is south?" or whatever your landmark and direction happen to be.

This is the best part about growing up in Colorado. The mountains are west. It's like having a cheat mode compass enabled all the time.

East? I thought you said Weast.

Your phone is a compass

The brainrot is strong in that one.

What, doesn't everyone have a haptic compass belt?

I mean their profile pic is them outdoors on a paddle board, so first impressions is yea maybe you do know cardinal directions? Anyone who spends extended time outdoors should.

Go west. Life is peaceful there. Go west. Lots of open air.

If I learned anything in geography class than that west is on the left

how do people not orient themselves?

What? You don't have an internal compass that keeps you oriented? For some reason I seem to be a lucky person that just knows which compass direction I'm going no matter where I am. And it's a very weird and frightening feeling if I do get disoriented. I had some pain meds after a surgery that did that to me. Flushed them damn things down the toilet after the first 2 I took.

Village people intensifies

East? I thought you said weast.

What have the pop band from the 80s got to do with the direction? Is there some code in their lyrics that will point her the right way?

If you are confused, check with the sun. Carry a compass to help you along. Your feet are going to be on the ground. Your head is there to move you around.

Stand in the place where you live. Now face north.

It’s easy, the sun rises in the… oh wait no it sets in the… erm… so what time is it?

Where does your manifest destiny pull you? There you go

One time I called 911 because I was following a drunk driver that had collided with multiple vehicles and kept driving. The operator asked me what direction so I looked at my maps app and it said I was going west so I told them west and they said “Sir that street doesn’t run west.” I was speechless after that.

I only started remembering which side west is (relative to north) when I started thinking of "the wild west" and then thinking of where the wild west was. Still can't use it in the real world for anything though. At most if I'm at my own town I know approximately where north is, but anywhere else I'll quickly lose the sense of which direction is which.

Coloradans be like "just look at the mountains smh"

Looking North, West and East spell "we".
