That’s actually a great idea.
It was in a downtown area, so could see it assisting in finding your way among the buildings. But it was only this post and another (with an only the top part) about twelve feet away. I didn’t see any others.
inb4 one of these gets improperly installed and gives someone an existential crisis (still looks pretty and useful for the directionally challenged, though!)
But is the letter facing the direction, or are you looking in the direction if you’re looking at the letter? So, is East behind the camera or in front of it?
“like always”???
You’re saying it like it’s obvious, but it’s a fair question.
Show me an example of something like that being placed in the way described, then.
but that’s not intuitive. when a compass says that the bearing is east, you are facing east. here, the onlooker is actually facing west when looking at east.
if the street pole had a bunch of arrows sticking out towards the cardinal points, what you’re saying is obvious may truly have been obvious.
but in this arrangement, the question put forth is a fair one and does not deserve derision.
That’s the kind of streetlamp that la’mouse can get behind
Oh you want a Lemmy reference? That’s the kind of streetlamp that… Ahh… Lenin…beans…get behind?
until there is some work needed and they put it back wrong
