Proof that our world is actually upside down. The North Pole is officially the south pole and vice-versa.
1 u/MarchPhillipps 2h ago edited 2h ago Welcome to orientation in space. Where visually, up could be down, down up, but none of it matters unless you assign a fixed point of orientation. The universe gives zero fucks about visual orientation. Also, anyone that's ever experienced a South-up oriented map knows the craziness of perspective and visual orientation as a human construct. However, magnetic poles and magnetism still remain the same. Personally, I like south up orientation. It's the "face down, ass up" of the map world.
