When I play basketball, it gives a slight advantage in the beginning when opponents don’t know I’m a lefty because they automatically assume I shoot with my right.
Also, being able to naturally drive one handed in a left-hand drive car.
Only left-handed people are in their right mind
God this is so good
See life from the side of not being the “norm”.
Notable advantage in a lot of beginner and intermediate level sports. By the time you get beyond that everyone knows how to compensate for left handedness.
Easier for you to assault a castle with spiral staircases while using a sword.
I’m told that Ferniehurst Castle on the border between Scotland and England was built with the stairs spiralling in the opposite direction because so many of the clan that built it were left-handed.
May also have been a subtle way to help protect in case the castle was stormed. I’ve certainly heard of castles where the steps were sometimes irregular heights - those who lived there would be used to it, but invaders would not and would find it harder to move effectively. A differently spiralling stair might have the same effect.
Either everyone knows how to compensate for a southpaw or everyone is a southpaw. Fencing is a lefty’s game.
Seems that doesn’t work quite as well in tennis, where pretty much all the time 15 to 25% of the top 100 ranked players are left handed.
Left handed people are superior beings
We are simply better than the rights
but it takes three lefties to get it right.
Training people in surgical techniques is way easier in lefties because most have been imitating right handed people so have some degree of ambidexterity. When you tell a right handed person to do precision movements with their left hand it fucks them up for a while.
It’s a conversation starter when you see another leftie in the field.
You get to call yourself widdershins.
Meanwhile those of us ambidextrous…
My gf thinks lefties are hot. I don’t understand but I got an advantage there 🤷♂️
Good thing you’re lefthanded!
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.
I fence, and lefties have a significant advantage, just because we’re used to fencing opposite-handed opponents.
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
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.
