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?

Not aware of one in German.
We used to have one: "Solang das deutsche Reich besteht wird jede Schraube rechts gedreht." ("As long as the German Empire persists every screw is turned right.")
Given that the German Empire failed spectacularly, this sentence isn't very popular anymore.
I have never heard that before this thread, possibly because I was born in Austria decades after the name "Deutsches Reich" was abolished.
