I solve problem 2 by flipping my notebook upside-down. Reading my notes back is a little more annoying but I’m not in physical pain while writing, so I consider it a win
Huh, was it just me always getting super dirty hands when writing despite being right-handed? I even thought it looked kinda cool with that metallized skin color
I love being married to my left-handed wife. We can cook on the same stove together, we can read and hold hands, we can eat without bumping each other so long as we sit correctly. So many things are easier for us because one of us is a lefty.
I’m right-handed but trained myself to use my computer mouse left-handed due to elbow pain. It is so awesome to jot notes w my right hand while mousing with my left.
Even though I’m a lefty, I’ve always moused with my right hand. Mainly because in school, I often wasn’t able to move the mouse to the left hand, because they locked the cable to the PC and to the desk in a way that only left you so much cable length, so you couldn’t physically move it any more then was required to use it.
Stupid assholes stealing mouses, always gotta ruin it for us lefties.
It took me a long long time to get comfortable mousing with my left hand. I usually dock my laptop so that I have a full-sized mouse & KB. But when I use the laptop by itself, I forget how to right-click because of the ambidexterity of it all.
The second one is stupid though… The rings get in the way 50% of the time regardless of handedness. If you are right handed, writing on the back of the page sucks. If you are left handed, writing on the front sucks.
It is advantageous in ancient combat though. When everyone is carrying a shield with their left hand and their sword on their right hand, the leftie can strike their relatively unprotected opponent’s right shoulder, unless the opponent is in formation and has an ally to its right.
But as long as neither you nor your opponent plan to fight in formation, it’s all good! This “fighting in formation” thing probably isn’t going to catch on.
Also helpful when storming a tower; spiral staircases are generally spiralled to give a right-handed defender the advantage against a right-handed attacker
Who talked about identity? Left-handed people is just a group, right-handed is also a group and ambidextrous is another one. This post is only noticing the difference in day-to-day life with right-handed people, that’s it.
Even tho I am right-handed, I can relate to the top left pic. For some reason, I started eating like a left-handed person when I was little and now it’s weird to do it the correct right-handed way, so I won’t change it.
In my country the ‘correct’ way to eat is to hold the knife in your dominant hand and the fork in your off hand. I have always maintained that that’s wrong. You keep one utensil close to your plate, and jab the other towards your face. Which one do you want in your most favoured hand?
Yea, here in Germany, the “correct” way is also to use the knife with the dominant hand. Will Never understand this. I use the fork with my dominant hand till I’ll die and no one will ever stop me!
When you write you accumulate graphite dust or ink onto your hand. Even if you lift your hand between words, the movement of your hand resting on your previous letters makes it happen.
Doesn’t that turn the point of that panel null though? I thought that the point was that you get your hand dirty because, when writing from left to right with your left hand, you’re more likely to stomp over what you’ve already written.
Handedness doesn’t really matter, it’s all about how you were taught (or weren’t) to do things. For example, my brother is left-handed, but he uses a mouse in the right hand. I’m right handed, but I’m holding the fork in the right hand.
It's not that simple either though. Yes, I do play the guitar with my right hand and I use computer mice with the right hand. This doesn't change the fact that writing with the right hand is incredibly stressful to my brain and right-handed scissors do not work in my right hand either. Handedness is more like a default setting: You can change the setting to the other hand, but you will have to make an conscious effort to do so every time a new motor skill is learned. I refused to learn computer mice with my left hand because that's just not where mice where in computer rooms and at friend's houses and such. I refused to learn left-handed guitars because then I wouldn't be able to play any other guitar than my own. That's not "doesn't matter" that's "deliberately put in the effort to override the brain".
