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

That and they can turn on when you get home after sunset. But they could do that with simple wifi connection or something. Unless your wifi is unstable I suppose.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yeah it’s odd. Nobody says S’il vous plaît but we do say svp out loud.

I speak Dutch, reading Danish is a trip. Dat wil zeggen -> det vil sige. And yes we use dwz.

We use plenty of abbreviations like that too. Like aub for alstublieft. Meaning please, or more literally if you would be so inclined.

Hopefully we can soon get one as home batteries to extend the use of solar panels. Because I don’t feel great about having a lithium battery that large in my house

It’s the rollercoaster tycoon umbrella strat all over again

That’s actually a nice idea. Personally I’ve thought of it like a donor match with the geneseed. (and one of the missing primarchs is female and so was their entire legion)

Oh fuck. Wait how’s shelving an option without conflict with GW? Did they just sell the rights without a guarantee that anything would actually be made?

No the rumour is about the other controversial political group, women. How dare amazon insert politics into my fascist parody plastic soldiers misery porn?!
