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?

I have to admit that this is rather old. So old, in fact, that it does not refer to the Third Reich but the Kaiserreich.
I don’t think anyone thought it was about the third reich
Probably someone did. Not all English-speakers know about the first two, even though they're implied by "third".
Yup this was me. I knew it was the third, but it never occurred to me to ask what the other 2 were
TBH I knew about the Kaiserreich, but I had to look up the first one myself. It was the Holy Roman Empire. (Which wasn't really much of a reich, but the Nazis weren't noted for their attention to historical accuracy)
