Using a Compass: Tips and Tricks for the Clueless

So, you've got a fancy new compass, huh? Well, let's hope it's not just a pretty face (or at least, a pretty face with a needle that doesn't move).

• Make sure the needle isn't stuck in "north".
• Don't try to navigate by moonlight. It's a thing of the past.
• Compasses are not actually magic wands, despite what that one guy in the 80s said.
• Don't use it to find your soul. That's just not how it works.
• Don't try to use it as a bookmark. That's just not a thing.
• Don't give it to your kids as a toy. It's not a toy.
