In a car, sure, since 99% of the seats face the front. Same for an airplane. Left is left, right is right.

How would you do that with for instance a classic rowboat? Then your left is on the right side, no matter how you turn your head?

Because port/starboard refers to the left/right side of the ship, regardless how the person orientated. If you are facing the front of the ship, then yes, port = left. If you are facing the back of the ship, port = right. So it is very handy to have words that always refer to the same part of the ship.

(All the other terms, like front/bow and stern/rear, who cares? I dunno.)

Literally? Where do I say that?

But thanks for that conclusion, great. Very constructive.

Anyway, see ya later

I don't hate, but do like to give options.

Y not both? Plenty of hate, enough for plebes and elites

And end with:

"Thank you, I will do what you tell me".

Where do the white/black letters T K T P stand for?

Typo of ditch? Either because the U and I are next to each other, or auto correct.

Can't imagine it being hip slang

It says world population. Not the US.

US pop is 340 mil. 30% voted for Trump? Say 100 mil. World pop is say 8 billion. 100m/8000m = 1,25% So the meme should say 98,75%

But hey, who's counting?!
