You guys are using the compass app?

[–] [email protected] 88 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Get a load of this guy, just walking around all aimless

[–] [email protected] 36 points 8 months ago (1 children)

How does he even find maidens.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, like the fair ones? How does he do it?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

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 🤷

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I just use the sun and stars, and occasionally the moss on a tree.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That last one's actually a myth

Moss doesn't exist

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

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. 😵‍💫

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

You aren't?!

[–] andrew_bidlaw 4 points 8 months ago

What's even the reason to have a compass without these hot and tasty radioactive markings?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

It's great for field work, with documenting specimen locations with coordinates and documenting transect directions.

[–] [email protected] 68 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Couldn't do it, my life would immediately go south

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

How would you even know??

Hey, get that bare bear ass out of here or at least warn with a nsfw tag or something

[–] [email protected] 40 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I haven’t touched the compass app in two years but knowing me I’d open it by accident during the two days

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 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.

I love these

You get 500mil but you have to live in this mansion

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

You get a trillion dollars but you have to spend the rest of your life breathing air 😱

[–] [email protected] 23 points 8 months ago (4 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago (2 children)

PSA, never go into a dense forest thinking "I can't get lost".

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Where you at? Iceland? Italy? Give me a hint!

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

how would i know the way to the kitchen without a compass?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

I never use the compass app. I simply pick a direction and walk. Wherever I stop is where I truly wanted to go.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

A holistic traveler. You just wander and always end up wherever you're supposed to be.

I have a real compass I use as little as the compass app

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

At least you don't have to recalibrate it every time you want to use it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

The Boy Scouts trained me for this moment.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Use a real compass.

There are also online compasses that you dont need any app for

Sure, given that I don't really have a compass app anyway

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Not with that attitude you don’t

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

The Sun exists 😂

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yes. Because you can use a watch to do the same thing.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Truu the seconds hand always points true north 🙏

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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?

I legitimately remember needing a compass at least once but could never figure out how to use those compass apps.

I’ll just stay home for two days without needing to know anything about which dure tío anything faces?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Just use the compass in your maps app FFS who even has a dedicated compass app anymore?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 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)
