Does each language have "lefty loosey righty tighty"?
(lemmy.world)
The world has a lot of different standards for a lot of things, but I have never heard of a place with the default screw thread direction being opposite.
So does each language have a fun mnemonic?

The Spanish version is my favourite: la derecha oprime y la izquierda libera (the right oppresses and the left liberates)
Oh wow that one is really good :D

I'm using this in every language I speak from now on!
I had never heard that before. Is that a region or country-specific thing?
Definitely not a common phrase. I've never heard of it (from Spain) and I just asked about 10 others from other countries and only one has. We usually would just say clockwise or counterclockwise
Isn't everything in Spanish?
Holy shit, fucking hell, now this is some goddamn wordplay!
I’m stealing this like the fucking British Museum.
¡Gracias por la lección de español de hoy!
I think I saw that on reddit 2years ago, thank you for reminding me how's the actual saying (I ~have adopted ever since I saw it, lol)
That's awesome.
