Lost in the wilderness and need to find your way out? Why not watch a dog shit.
Pretty sure there are scientific articles confirming this too. Magnetism is voodoo (or @voodoo or something)
Edit: there we go, primary source! monitored nearly 2,000 poops, nearly 6,000 urinations:

@machpants i am calling absolute dog shit right there!!!
my dog shits on east-west all the fucking time.

@mariner4life mine starts parallel to whatever fence he's nearest at the time, I think. Then often wanders around in circles, mid job, making my bagging job harder, the little bastard. Maybe we've got magnetically defective dogs?

Well - that led me to ask "Helicopter? What? Does Mars have an atmosphere?" - and rather than taking the normal approach and just ask here - I actually bothered to type it into a different tab, and get an immediate answer, which led to...
- So yes, Mars has an atmosphere - albeit much thinner than Earth's
- But - it used to have a much thicker atmosphere, much more like Earth's (which meant water, blah blah, the dry riverbeds, blah blah, building blocks of life, blah whatever)
- So... if Mars lost most of its atmosphere, ending up a dry husk of a planet... could Earth do the same...?
- Yeah... that's already happening - but likely to take about a billion years, so... probably not Greta's priority just yet
