This thread got me thinking about serious issues. Please respond.
Poll: Are you in the north or south hemisphere? Do you like clockwise or counterclockwise motion more?

Righty tighty lefty loosy. The clockwise direction is the clear winner.
Keep it loose, man. You’re wound too tight.
Also, where my southern hemisphere peeps at?
Love it! I picked counterclockwise because that’s the scientist answer. Clockwise motion is sinful and should not be discussed in polite company.
Northern Hemisphere but I've always been a counterclockwise kind of guy, just my nature.

In my toilet, stuff just goes straight down. I suspect that's because the Southern Hemisphere Coriolis force wants to go one way, and the German contents want to go the other way. In the end, it balances out to straight down…

How far are you from the equator?
I prefer to always be positive so I have to go counterclockwise. Way too much negative magnitude with clockwise.

About 27.5°
South. Tropic of Capricorn.
hrm...
i'm from the north hemisphere, and obviously i prefer cw motion. i am right handed. i am dextrous and am therefore a good typist. most importantly, i am correct.

haha, what? i mean sure ccw is used as the default sense in some things (like the unit circle), but everyone knows ccw (not cw!) is what's sinful. it's even sinister. left handed people are known to be devil worshippers. lucifer himself was left handed.
that's a weird take...
sure, the sense changes for a chiral object depending on perspective. still, the common sense for lefty things is ccw. why are you flip flopping on us?
levorotary, left handed, ccw. not cw!

? Umm that must make me a left handed counter clockwise whisking devil worshiper, it all makes sense now.
As long as you drive on the right side of the road you'll be alright.
Well, so far northerners prefer clockwise motion by a 2:1 margin, while 100% of southerners like CCW motion. Seems clear that the Coriolis effect is acting upon our brains somehow. Anyone want to help me write a grant application in order to further study this phenomenon?

Northern hemisphere. And I prefer my toilet to flush counterclockwise. The grass is always greener on the other side.
I write (and do most things) RH, but I'm left eye dominant, so counterclockwise is the more comfortable way for me.
Voted, another Southern hemisphere peep (41.3°). But from Northern (38.3°). Can drive on either side of the road just fine (what side of the car the steering wheel is on and what the other cars are doing are effective cues). Toilet flushes straight down. Right handed. Prefer clockwise for sure.

Surfers near equator get counter trade winds north & south of the line.
Most of the planet drives on the right side of the road. Most but not always British empire drives on the wrong side. Also Island countries like Japan, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand drive on the wrong side. Also fast food drive through different because steering wheel on wrong side of the car.

Whoever the hemisphere-traitor is that just voted for south/clockwise, thanks a lot for ruining my study. This is why it’s so hard to get anything done nowadays. People are always f-ing up the results of good studies with their “responses” and their “adverse reactions”.

Ah, sh*t, I was idly thinking it was the other way around. Hah, ok. Guess I should watch the weather more. How come so many people voted incorrectly then?
