in fencing left handed people have a slight advantage, since left handed people are used to fighting right handed people but righties aren’t used to fencing lefties. other than that it’s probably worse since it looks like writing left handed is more annoying
In English we write left to right and lefties smudge their writing (or adapt their grip I guess) so, for right to left languages it’s a plus.
After typing there para above, I guess they could also be better drawers if they have done more practice or use a different grip or draw instead of write if they’re part of a class doing pencil and paper time.
My boss is Persian and a lefty and I asked her if Farsi (a rtl language) is easier to write mechanically and she said its basically the same as English ltr as a lefty so I don’t really buy this anymore.
Back when automated toll booths had baskets to throw coins in, I could easily pay tolls at around 45 mph.
EZ pass eventually became a thing, probably saved me from my own young stupidity.
A boxing coach once told me it’s harder to fight lefties because they go against what you’ve trained for.
It’s true of all combat sports, and, to some degree, any other sport in which you go face to face with your opponent.
And although it might be true that at the very very top levels people both learn to be more ambidextrous (so that there’s less of a mismatch between sides whether right or left handed) and are more experienced/skilled at dealing with left handed opponents, the early years of learning the sport will weed out fewer left handed people so that the top levels have more left handed people.
I once read that the more competitive a society is, the now left-handed people it will have. I never did more research to verify, but makes some kinda sense
I think that I’m one the the majority of left handed people who aren’t totally left handed. I write and throw with my left hand. I use scissors and a computer mouse with my right. It helped with taking notes from a computer in college, I guess. I shoot pool equally well with either hand but I think that’s the case with most people.
I’m similar. It’s called being cross-handed.
Meanwhile those of us ambidextrous…
See life from the side of not being the “norm”.
From memory, we are statistically more likely to be geniuses. Unfortunately we are also equally as more likely to be clinically insane.
There a fine line between genius and insanity. Apparently that’s the line between left and right.
You say paranoid delusion, I say let me see those notes you’re writing-!
It’s a conversation starter when you see another leftie in the field.
We save money on potato peelers because the right handed people in the family use the other side of the blade and so it lasts twice as wrong.
Downside is right harders want to trade peelers with us not realizing that there are right handers in the family and so ours are dull on both sides.
Only left-handed people are in their right mind
God this is so good
We don’t have to switch hands with our forks in order to pick up a knife.
Why would you need to switch hands?
Forks are on the left for a reason.
Lefthandedness increases your probability of becoming a U.S. president
You get to call yourself widdershins.
