but the sundoesnt move clockwise, it rises in the east and set at the west, which would make it counterclockwise if we looked at the earth from the south pole
Only some are left hand threaded. If you look at the nut on the regulator it will have notches on the corners if it is left hand threaded, no notches is right handed.

It follows the right hand rule. Make a thumbs up with a closed fist. Your thumb points in the direction the screw will go your fingers point in what direction you rotate the screw.
There's many different laws and physical phenomena that follow the right hand rule as well.
The fundamental building blocks of our universe follow the right hand rule. As above, so below, brother.
Arbitrary as frick, and probably backwards. Ben Franklin, a known dimension jumper, was left handed. To make this “right hand rule” work all you have to do is deliberately misunderstand how charge works, then make everyone else follow your backward ass rules.
>like charges repel >electrons are negatively charged. >if they negative electric charge flows from - to + >charge positive flow is from + to -
Makes sense to me

It is, what the 'right hand rule' is derived from is the cross product of vectors. Two vectors crossed results in a third vector orthogonal to both. In the right hand rule, this orthogonal resultant vector is represented by the thumb, while two fingers (index and middle) represent the vectors being operated on. The left hand rule is just as valid, but the 'right hand rule' is an ergonomic mapping to a cartesian coordinate system, which is right handed.
>Arbitrary as frick
Oh, and of course in the context of this thread, screws are simply threaded right handed as well. The other poster seemed to be implying there was non-arbitrary underlying cosmological underpinnings to the right hand rule, which is moronic.
>nooooo you're not the navy, you have to model current with the opposite charge moving in the opposite direction
Have you never thought about what a backwards ass convention this is? That the only reason this is even a rule is because 300 years ago some idiot decided that the charge left by a piece of fur on glass he would call negative? We have dug this convention so deep into our science that it it is inescapable. Tell me, why is the charge of a proton any more fundamental than that of an electron?

because it works homie, go back to being a worthless "ideas" guy.
The muscles for supination are stronger then the ones for pronation so it's easier to drive a screw in clockwise with your right hand than counter clockwise
Geometry. Lathes turn anti clockwise and have the chuck / headstock on the left because the tool gets pushed down towards the ways, and people are right handed generally. So when you make a screw by cutting towards the headstock it produces a right handed thread.

to the stupid questions general with ye
clockwise like the sun
tale as old as time
>clockwise like the sun
No?
>zoomers never had a sun dial.
but the sundoesnt move clockwise, it rises in the east and set at the west, which would make it counterclockwise if we looked at the earth from the south pole
>living on the southern hemisphere
>not using the center of the galaxy as your reference point
God told Moses
This is the Catholic view the Presbyterian believe Jesus decided the direction
Old as time. Right handed people are more common, its easier to tighten things to the right. Simple as.
it is probably the opposite in australia
checked, but isn't it for-real opposite in gas fittings?
Only some are left hand threaded. If you look at the nut on the regulator it will have notches on the corners if it is left hand threaded, no notches is right handed.
for me its lefty-locky righty-releasey
the words decided
how long until some metric butthole comes tromping through here talking about how radians are "better" than degrees
Radians are better in calculus/higher math, but really they should be using tau, not pi, but pi has too much momentum behind it.
>but really
apparently only 1788 microfortnights

so why didnt they make it the left hand rul
Because you can never trust those sinister bastards.

Have you ever heard of the left hand rule for electrons? It's not a technique your professors would want you know about.
>For electrons.
We're not the navy school of electronics.
We follow the charge, not the particle, which in reality hardly moves at all.
>nooooo you're not the navy, you have to model current with the opposite charge moving in the opposite direction

You use your left hand if it's a left handed thread
Unless you have severely deformed thumbs, mine points upwards not right.
Whoever threaded the thing.
This
Probably easier to thread down the shank than up it
The muscles for supination are stronger then the ones for pronation so it's easier to drive a screw in clockwise with your right hand than counter clockwise
Have fun changing your miter saw blade
if you do it wrong, you can have it both lefty-loosy AND righty-loosy

You know, I've always heard the "people are generally right handed" answer, but the one you gave feels more satisfying.
....The reason a lathe makes them this way is because people are right handed..
Lathes are right-handed.
The left liberates, the right oppresses
Poetic, you could say
fall apart vs keep together

So Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and Kim il song are right wingers now.
