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?

In austrian german dialect, "Mit da Ua, draht ma zua." which in standard german would be "Mit der Uhr, dreht man zu." and in english "With the clock, turn it closed." or something like that.
Neat. Would be engineering related lol
In English, there's also "clockwise-lockwise". It makes more sense than talking about left and right.
I’m gonna try this with my son, he knows with way clocks go better than his left and right.
Da scheißt di au!
Interesting. I learned it as "Wie die Ua, so gehts zua"
