When the Southern Hemisphere is most tilted toward the sun (the south pole

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.

What is special about those pieces of metal that move away from a magnet?
What is special is that those bits of metal are magnetized, and their orientation is such that their poles are pointed to the magnetic. Lastly, the poles of the bits of metal that are pointed toward the magnet are the same as the pole of the magnetic that is pointing toward them. North pushes away north, or south pushes away south. (Like poles repel while opposite poles attract.)
