How can I prove this if I haven’t been pulling out a compass regularly?

It would be evident if for example you had a compass with a declination adjustment that you set properly and used not too long ago. If OP's claim is true, the compass would be drifting out of adjustment within a matter of days.
Either that or there's some really powerful magnetic interference near OP's house. Or he's wearing steel-toed boots hahaha.

If you know your location, and have a visible peak on a topo map, you can identify the bearing to that peak, then sight for it. It will tell you drift since the map was created.

Thanks, I’ll try it. Just bought a land nav book and compass 2 weeks ago

Here's a cool site that has greoreferenced PDF versions of the old USGS quad maps.

Those would be great to use if you're just getting started with orienteering.

Let me know how it goes, I'm ashamed to say I don't have a good set anymore.

Very easy to validate. Ask an airplane mechanic. Runways are magnetically aligned (frequently rounded) and aviation compasses record the local magnetic variation which will cause the compass to deviate.
If this were occurring pilots and mechanics would be taking about it.

Use Google Map and align streets that normally run due N/S E/W. Most main streets in most cities are aligned this way.

Magnetic north has been shifting for years, last I heard it was just off the coast of Russia, from a map's perspective if looking at the US, magnetic north has traveled east and south and has picked up speed in recent years.

What he said. That is why we would get updated maps and approach plates, etc. on a regular basis. I did read about a year or two ago that the drift had picked up speed, but not that fast. If it really gets going, that would be an indication of a possible polar reversal.

It's all explained on Suspicious Observers. The pole shift has been accelerating for the last 200 years, but exponentially in the last 20.

This is truly a real thing - not related to the political discussion but still worth noting. The increase in the speed of the movement of the magnetic north pole has definitely been an issue for GPS. Also, there's a significant magnetic hole in the southern hemisphere that's formed over the last couple of years.
To date, the magnetic pole has travelled about 1,400 miles (2,250km). As a result of the shift, scientists have to frequently update the World Magnetic Model, which is a vital element of smartphone navigation systems and GPS.

Also why was the Schumann resonance off the charts a week ago with no sun spikes or space weather to cause it? There is some wild electromagnetic shit going on. https://youtu.be/hXbZaq6zRD0

Scary stuff. watching my compass move little by little is mega shit scary.
these are the times where civilizations were wiped off the map.
12.5k years. Adam and Eve again. Volcanoes, earthquakes, wild weather, trees and crops not dropping leaves or sprouting way too early.
Biblical!

interesting, i was wondering what was up a few months ago when i pointed my compass at a mountain to the north. will check it out again.
