I got this information from an Instagram reel but ig refreshed and I lost the link before I could save it, so I googled the phenomenon and got an article that talks about it instead. The reel said that it happens in a lot of small things we don’t think about like bumper cars, ice skating, most motorsports, mosh pits, etc.
The counterclockwise favoring has even been found in some animals too!



i mean if i sit really really still i swear i can feel spin in my brain. mine is clockwise. not sure what that means, but my wife always backs a different way out the driveway than i do.
