Random Thought Experiments: Right to Left, Left to Right

[Hazelelponi]

As a right hander in a left hand family, I can throw like a girl with either hand.

I can't hit the broad side of a barn unless I'm throwing knives or axes, apparently anything with a blade I naturally handle throwing with ease.

I learned that accidentally at a renaissance fair... Lol. If there's a blade involved I hit the bullseye every time. .

I wonder if my dominant arm changed whether I could still do that... Or if I would suddenly be able to "toss the keys" but miss the broad side of a barn with a knife.

Lol...

Imagine you wake up one day and discover that everyone in the world has inexplicably swapped their dominant hand overnight. Righties are now lefties, lefties are now righties. Chaos ensues. What would be the most hilariously disastrous consequences?

I would say driving a stick would make things interesting, but nothing is stick anymore is it? Everything is automatic...

When I learned to drive my dad made me learn in a stick because he thought it was important for me to be able to drive anything. .

It was handy back in the day, you used to be able to get a used manual transmission vehicle cheaper than an automatic. Saved me a lot of money in life. Lol.

For the few years I drove anyway. My son laughs at me now and tells me I can't back seat drive anymore because he now has more driving experience than me .. hahaha I personally think this should be no deterrent.

Nobody would be able to cut anything, since nearly all scissors are right-handed but now most of the population are lefties.

That's hard to deal with. I might have to pray about this!

It's an attitude thing.

Remind me not to get too close to you.

Folks hitting themselves with the door every time they opened it.

For some, learning to drive a standard shift automobile.

Hmmm — wondering if this would imply driving on the right side of the road in England, left side in America...
