    Left and right are a de facto standard in dating apps. It’s a terrible UI but they all do it now.

      The thing that trips me up, as a dinosaur, is whether “swipe left” refers to the direction your hand moves or the direction that the viewport is traveling. If I scroll by moving my finger to the left, now I’m looking at stuff that was previously on my right.

        I have this issue with my stove top, which burner goes to with nob/diagram. Does the picture line flat or flip over. I only every end up using the one with both high and low cause it’s easy to tell which it is.

        • I am a weirdo and always get things backwards that the rest of the population has no trouble with.

          Righty-tighty, lefty-loosey made no sense when I was a kid because I focused on the bottom of the thing I was spinning instead of the top.

          Same with the stove. Wtf is the “front” burner? I mapped the four burners to the four seats of a car in my head, and I thought the front burner would be the ones farther away from me. 🫨
