    The thing that trips me up, as a dinosaur, is whether “swipe left” refers to the direction your hand moves or the direction that the viewport is traveling. If I scroll by moving my finger to the left, now I’m looking at stuff that was previously on my right.

      I have this issue with my stove top, which burner goes to with nob/diagram. Does the picture line flat or flip over. I only every end up using the one with both high and low cause it’s easy to tell which it is.

      • I am a weirdo and always get things backwards that the rest of the population has no trouble with.

        Righty-tighty, lefty-loosey made no sense when I was a kid because I focused on the bottom of the thing I was spinning instead of the top.

        Same with the stove. Wtf is the “front” burner? I mapped the four burners to the four seats of a car in my head, and I thought the front burner would be the ones farther away from me. 🫨

          That’s absolutely right, but you forgot to account for the fact that the stove doesn’t face the same way you do, you’re facing it and it is facing you, like a head on car collision

        I’m gonna need a drawing or video to describe this in 3d terms because it makes little sense

        The burners should be in a representation that when looking at them dead-on you’re looking at them as you would the burners top-down

        So if you squat down and make the burner icon eye-level to you, then stand up and look down at the burners at a 90 degree angle down, that’s how they line up

        A | B

        C | D

        If that’s your image then A is the back-left burner on your stovetop, and D would be the one closest to you on the right
