Does each language have "lefty loosey righty tighty"?

The world has a lot of different standards for a lot of things, but I have never heard of a place with the default screw thread direction being opposite.

So does each language have a fun mnemonic?

Imagine it like a car steering wheel.

You'd say turning the wheel to the right turns the car right.

Think of it like this. Like your hand is holding on the top of the steering wheel.

ok but what is behind this picture? I see fur and old matted flesh? a paw with no nails or an old dogs snout?!?!
