@attie Have you never noticed that when you put two magnets together, they will be attracted if their opposite poles face each other (N →← S) and not their identical poles (N ←→ N)?

@TritTriton Of course! ... but I always thought that the "North Pole" was actually Earth's north, and that compasses were mis-labelled for "usability" or something 🫣

@attie Same for me until quite recently, in fact.

I wonder how they know that the Northern magnetic pole is actually the South one: just because the N pole of the magnets and compasses face towards it?
