    Please never stop doing these, it really feels like sitting with friends talking about fun topics and old stories while I do my work, it's so comforting. Also I really appreciate, and as a young man look up to your guys outlook and way of thinking about things. You're really role models for how I want my mental state/outlook to be, how to run my future family, and how to be a good person.

    I have the same ambiguous handedness as Link! For whatever reason I write, hold my phone, hold utensils (basically eat) left-handed, yet I throw, bat, and play guitar/bass right-handed. I never made a conscious decision to do any of those with either hand, some things just seem easier for me to do with my right hand and others with my left. Really curious if there's a medical explanation because I know I'm not ambidextrous as I for sure cannot do things equally well with both hands.

    We had our prom in the gym/cafeteria my junior and senior year and I was on the prom decorating committee so prom is one of my happiest memory sets from high school. Just getting to stay after school with my friends making pretty decorations and building the set for the photographs, I fully appreciated it and lived it up. Went without a date both years and my friends and I had the absolute best time. Except after my senior prom we went to my uncles farm for the after party my cousin was throwing and like, Lily’s 21st bday prom is so much better for that because it’s so dangerous that that many kids (class of 30 seniors plus all the lowerclassmen who were friends or dating seniors in a small rural K-12 school where we’d all gone to school together since kindergarten 😅) many of whom were drinking for the first time. It was rough. Still made super good memories have great stories to tell but it could have easily gone bad if our older cousin wasn’t running interference and took everyone’s keys, he even set up a drunk tank for us if he thought we had had too much and needed to go into timeout 😭❤️

    Using 1 hand for some things and another hand for other things is not being ambidextrous, it is called mixed-handedness . Ambidextrous is being able to do something (or many things) with equal skill/precision with both hands identically. There are quite a lot of people with mixed-handedness, many people use their primary hand for things requiring precision (like writing, or eating) and then the opposite hand for things that require strength (like using a hammer, or swinging a baseball bat, or a golf club). Being ambidextrous is far more rare. Especially if you are talking broadly speaking, rather than for 1 or 2 specific things/activities.

But I can do everything just like link with my left hand and I can do it with my right hand and people are shocked how good I write with my left hand not knowing that, I'm a right-hander. Sometimes I just had recently had surgery and had to sign documents. Cause they had the IV in my right hand and I couldn't write so when I wrote it with my left hand they were like holy c***, that's fantastic. I can't believe that you can write so good with you. R left hand. So I had to learn because of an injury.

    Just to throw in my weird two cents on the dominant hand conversation...
    I am not ambidextrous.
    Always wanted to be, and jealous of those it comes naturally to.
    My right hand is dominant, but there are a few, specific things I do exclusively with my left.
    I have actively tried to do other random things with my left hand, to varying degrees of success.
    I can easily catch things...both frisbees and balls...with both hands.
    I never played official baseball, but I did play a lot of catch and frisbee.
    I'm an artist, and absolutely 100% can NOT draw with my left hand, or write legibly.
    That said, without any forethought to the matter...my private moments as a teen boy also began and continue to be left-handed...though I have swicthed up, in the past, for "mystery".
    Another odd left-handed situation is cooking.
    I have a tendency to use my left hand for spoon/spatula use, while holding the pan/pot handle with the right...which is apparently backwards, for a right-hander.
    But when it comes to being on a PC, I can't use a mouse with my left hand, at all.
    As Rhett mentioned...you can feel the dumbness of the hand, when trying to do those things.
    So...yeah...dominant hand stuff is odd.

    No no no Rhett. Sleeping on your stomach with no pillow is honestly the best way to keep your back and hips straight if you're not going to sleep on your back. You lay your arms down to your sides, I personally tuck my hands under each hip bone. And then you have to position your head just ever so slightly to either side to breathe. Perfect sleeping position. 👌🏻

    @BigSirZebras 7 місяців тому

    ok, I am only 5 minutes in. A lot of people think that people are right or left handed and that ambidextrous people are completely both. There is a better way of looking at it. It is called "cross dominance". I believe (not going to look it up) that there are very few, as in less than 0.01 peoople who are totally ambidextrous and have no problem doing any given task with either hand. There are far more people who are right handed for some things and left handed for others. This is cross dominance. For me, if I am using a tool I prefer my right hand. If my hand is the actual tool than my left hand works better. Even then I sometimes use tools and people ask me if I am left handed because I don't realize I am doing it backwards.
    Fun fact: almost everybody is cross dominant to a degree. Probably more than people who are dominant with only one hand. Maybe you do everything right handed but you open a can with your left hand, or peel a fruit with your left hand while your right hand holds the fruit in place.
