Tbf, if they didn't show him writing with his right hand, this would all be acceptable.

I write with my left hand, but play guitar right handed, pitch a baseball right handed, do basically everything right handed, except usung my left to write and do knife work in the kitchen.

Left handed folks are often ambidextrous.

Not to mention he's religious and back a number of years, you weren't allowed to be left handed, so maybe that is why he writes with his right hand in the scene, and maybe why it's such a liberation for him to come out as left handed? Idk

Left handed folks are often ambidextrous.

Pick a side already!

You right-handers force us into this position!

There's only one thing you use everyday that's made for the left hand and it's flushing the toilet!

Think of how that feels!

[-] Fabrik872@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

In europe almost all toilets have flush button in the middle of the tank

[-] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

Both my toilets have the flushing thing on the right side.

NOW THEY TOOK THE TOILETS FROM US

Most things cater to right-handedness, there isn't much of a choice 🤷‍♂️

[-] Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah, I used scissors as a main tool in my manufacturing job that I had nearly a decade, ..many tools are right handed. Even driving a stick shift is right handed work.

You adapt.

One oddity for me at least: I'm left handed, but right eye dominant; which means I aim a gun or draw a bow with my right hand, to line up with my right eye.

[-] chocosoldier 2 points 12 hours ago

ay i'm right handed but left eye dominant so i shoot left handed. hello chiral twin!

[-] v01dworks@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago

I’m cross-dominant and left eye dominant but when I draw bows I use my right hand, pistols I use my right hand, but rifles I use left handed

I can’t explain why beyond that it’s just comfortable to do this way

I had a teacher in high school who wrote poorly with both hands, he explained, because he went to a catholic school where they slapped his left hand with a ruler when wrote with it.

Yep, same situation for me. "Ambidextrous" roughly means "two right hands," so I like to joke that I'm ambisinistral - I've got two left hands.

[-] Amputret@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day ago

Technically you are mixed-handed as you use one hand mainly for particular actions, just different hands. Ambidexterity is being able to do anything equally well with either hand.

[-] sundray@lemmus.org 6 points 1 day ago

To be more exact, you are "criss-cross-applesauced" but it's a technical term.

[-] lime@feddit.nu 2 points 1 day ago

i prefer the term "ambisinister"

[-] Amputret@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

That’s actually the technical term for being equally kack-handed with both hands. Right-handed propaganda, I know.

[-] Grass@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

I'm right handed for writing but I prefer left for a lot of stuff. I ride primarily left forward on skateboard and snowboard. Throughout my childhood years everyone fucking hated my lefty hockey stick especially since the three lefties played right handed. Some games they forced me to either play right hand or sit out too.
