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. 🫨

That’s absolutely right, but you forgot to account for the fact that the stove doesn’t face the same way you do, you’re facing it and it is facing you, like a head on car collision
I’m gonna need a drawing or video to describe this in 3d terms because it makes little sense
The burners should be in a representation that when looking at them dead-on you’re looking at them as you would the burners top-down
So if you squat down and make the burner icon eye-level to you, then stand up and look down at the burners at a 90 degree angle down, that’s how they line up
A | B
C | D
If that’s your image then A is the back-left burner on your stovetop, and D would be the one closest to you on the right

In tinder when you swipe, the picture itself moves, not the whole screen.
