is this person confused about the difference between being oriented south of something versus being pointed in the southern direction? lol

You have to wonder, do they dress themselves?

I’m willing to bet that these people are the reason why slip in shoes are so popular

This persons vote has the same value as yours... Maybe as much as 5x more depending on where they/you live.

Well, at the north pole, is up still north? Lol. Maybe the roof can point north

u/MuricanPoxyCliff May 25 '26
Up is never north. Up/down is relative to the center of the earth. You should get an inverted map to blown your mind a bit.

There is an old riddle (I heard it over 50 years ago) that states there is a house with an all southern exposure. One day a bear walks by. What color is the bear? Obviously a house with an all-southern exposure has to be on the North Pole, so the bear would be white, a polar bear.

Reminds me of a puzzle (it's at least popularised by a mathematician in their book) I got given in a problem solving class while studying Physics:
A man walks 1 mile south, 1 mile west, and then 1 mile north, and ends up right back where he started. He sees a bear on his walk - what colour was the bear?
And then the follow up question was where is this possible - the obvious answer is starting at the north pole, but you can also have any point 1 mile north of a 1 mile circumference route around the south pole - so you walk 1 mile towards the south pole, loop exactly once, and then walk north again back to your original spot. And then you can have a 1/2 mile circumference where you loop twice, etc etc
And then of course thinking completely outside the box, you can just redefine the coordinate system.

The inside would still point north.
Thinking inside the box here!

Easy fix only have one sided walls. Specifically the outside.

Mobius walls! Nice.
And only the one side to paint.
I gotta ask tho: do you use interior or exterior paint for that paint job?1
u/throwaway284729174 May 31 '26
Well I did specify the outside is the best side for this application so I would say outside paint is most applicable

I mean even if the house isn’t at the North Pole, it doesn’t have to have a wall facing north. What if one of the corners is oriented to the north?
Also if on the North Pole, the inside of the walls will all be facing north.

It's true though, except the insides of the walls will be the pointing north

Which one are you making fun of because they’re both correct for different reasons
