      As someone from the southern hemisphere, it weirds me out that things work backwards up there! 😆
      Thanks for the kind words 😊☀️

    Thanks for this video! The usual explanation is the "sundials" explanation, but I'm not buying it: Public clocks are usually vertical, and on vertical sundials, the shadow turns the other way.
    But the second explanation sounds quite convincing. I might use this for my upcoming video about time.

    Interesting video. You also missed that the word sinister comes from the Latin for left.

    My dog chaises his tail in the counter clockwise direction, is he a witch? I'm starting to think quite possibly so.

    Also in the northern hemisphere the drains of sinks & toilets water spin in a certain direction and opposite direction in the southern hemisphere & the absolutely 1st clock = klock = is the Zodiac and it moves too the clockwise direction!.
