Does the world spin upside down?

The world doesn't actually spin upside down; it rotates on its axis, which is tilted relative to its orbit around the sun. This tilt causes the changing seasons but doesn't mean the Earth flips over in space. Instead, the concept of "upside down" is relative to a observer's perspective. For example, someone in the Southern Hemisphere may feel "upside down" compared to someone in the Northern Hemisphere, but both orientations are equally valid from their respective points of view.

Why don't people who live in the southern hemisphere feel upside down?

Gravity pulls all things toward the center of the earth-- as a result, everyone on earth only feels upside down if their head is pointing toward the ground or they are high/drunk on something. North and South are just directions given to indicate the intersection of earth and its axes at the extreme edges of the earth. North is considered "up" simply because more people live in the northern hemisphere and most people like to think that they are "up." In fact, people in the southern hemisphere, especially Australia, have maps that we would consider upside-down, where north is down and south is up.

How can I successfully perform the water bottle upside down trick?

To successfully perform the water bottle upside down trick, you need to fill the bottle about halfway with water, quickly flip it upside down, and then swing your arm in a circular motion to create a vortex inside the bottle. This vortex will keep the water from spilling out when the bottle is upside down. Practice and timing are key to mastering this trick.
