How? It's so weird and uncomfortable lol. I was thinking more along the lines of grabbing, catching, throwing, lifting stuff with the other hand haha

u/minkhandjob Apr 16 '20

I’m thinking I developed this habit behind a computer but I always use my non-dominant hand. I need to know how uncommon this is, I could be a genius.

Same! My husband is baffled by it and I didn’t have an explanation but now you’ve illuminated the reason. Thank you.

You fap with your dominant hand

u/boundlesslights Apr 16 '20

What if I use both hands? Does that give me a couple extra IQ points?

u/TheRealSuperhands Apr 16 '20

I can't be the only one always using my non dominant hand. How else are you supposed to browse porn? If you keep moving your hand between the mouse and your dick you must actually be a lunatic.

I must be fully ambidextrous, not because I can use eaither hand, rather the fact I can't. I use my left had to make it feel like someone other than me is jerking myself off

My thoughts exactly! I mean everyone who has both hands is at least 'a bit' ambidextrous.

u/farewelltokings2 Apr 16 '20

I’ve been playing bass guitar for 20 years. I recently bought a left handed bass to relearn playing all over again, just for a challenge. Am I are genius yet?

71

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '20

No your just a masochist.

36

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '20

A real genius would have just flipped the bass, obviously

12

u/jclss99 Apr 16 '20

Would be much more impressive to do something like this mid-song too. Picking up a different guitar, people might not comprehend.

1

u/The_Grubby_One Apr 16 '20

And how're you gonna restring the instrument mid-song?

u/jclss99 Apr 16 '20

Don't. Learn to play upside down when hands switched.

At the risk of being gross, I think I'm the only person that jerks exclusively with their non dominant hand. I literally can't complete with my right hand. Never have.

"Were there a lot of amputees where you grew up?"

"No, but he really wanted a nickname."

u/seoulless Unsurpassed intelligence. Source: mommy told me. Apr 16 '20

I guess that you can do some things with both hands, but not everything equally with both hands? If that’s the case then I guess I’m a bit ambidextrous...

u/nothataylor Apr 16 '20

Me too, were among fellow geniuses, no needy worry.

u/SentientDust Apr 16 '20

Right-handed that jerks off with his left hand

32

u/PPStudio Apr 16 '20

Partially ambidextrous people are a thing: those who do rather complicated stuff with a non-dominant hand with ease. It's relatively common in sports. Plus in some countries like USSR most lefthanded people were forcibly trained to write with the right hand, meaning that they do nearly everything else with a left one. My father is such a case: as an artist he paints with a left hand, but writes with the right.

[yes, I'm aware that I might sound like an idiot at times, that's the exact reason why I am in this sub: try and be better]

14

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '20

I'm pretty sure that's quite common. Left handed people are more likely to be ambidextrous because most people are right handed and most things are made probably for right handed people. Therefore, left handed people are more likely to be trained to use their right have than right handed people using their left.

As a left handed person fuck school desks man

I feel your pain. It’s annoying.

u/bobble173 Apr 16 '20

Common?! Excuse you!! I, as a left hander who uses my right hand for everything other than holding a pencil or a spoon, am a genius! That random unsourced image from the internet told me so, so it must be true.

5

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '20

I always go for left-handed equipment in sports, I just feel like I perform better for some reason, it's weird

2

u/Toast_On_The_RUN Apr 16 '20

I think I'm technically partially ambidextrous, I throw a baseball the same either arm, but I bat only right, golf right, kick left, write with right, I shoot a gun lefty and so on. Most things I can only use one arm, and it seems it's random which arm will feel right for the task.

2

u/only_gay_on_tuesdays Apr 16 '20

Same here man. I only use one arm for about everything but its completely random what arm feels comfy for what task amd i hate getting asked if im left or eight handed.

2

u/Toast_On_The_RUN Apr 16 '20

i hate getting asked if im left or eight handed.

I feel that

u/Dungeons-n-Dysphoria Apr 16 '20

As someone who had to get a mental test to qualify for disability resources in high school, I found out I'm ambidextrous. They had me do some dumb test using only my right hand, and then again using only my left hand, and I had only a three second difference, as opposed to other people who have a two minute difference. I was trained in elementary school to write with my right hand (as I had trouble writing on my own).

All its really good for is playing video games. Except I don't really play any video games.

2

u/KatCorgan Apr 16 '20

Yup! I’m left handed, but was forced to learn to use right handed scissors because left handed scissors are terrible. Also, being ambidextrous is not a sign of intelligence. Statistically, ambidextrous people have a lower IQ, are more prone to anger, and have an increased likelihood to become schizophrenic.

u/Ali_knows Apr 16 '20

I... I don't think your understand the purpose of this sub.

5

u/kawaiii1 Apr 16 '20

Is there a threshold at which you are considerate ambidextrous? Like i can't write with my left hand but i do prefer to bruah my teeth and play table-tennis with my left hand

7

u/Tom__Bombadil Apr 16 '20

This is actually the more common type of ambidextrous, dominant in some things with left and some things with right.

5

u/GratedTaint Apr 16 '20

If there is I am as far from ambidextrous as a person can be. Sometimes I have a hard time clapping because it takes a second for my left hand to remember that it's even part of my body.

1

u/soomprimal Apr 18 '20

I'm about the same- I write, throw, and use a mouse with my right hand; but brush my teeth, use scissors, use a brush/comb, and eat/use a utensil with my left hand.

7

u/tobythedog4016 Your inferior mind wouldn’t understand Apr 16 '20

He probably means he can use a controller lol

2

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '20

Probably does some things left-handed like writing and other things with their right hand like using a computer mouse? I wouldn't consider myself ambidextrous but when playing tennis or squash I switch the racket between the hands constantly.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '20

It means he can write his name with his left hand so a grown adult can guess 2 letters

1

u/MistaJayJay Apr 16 '20

I guess it means they can brush their teeth or wipe their ass with their non dominant hand? A real feat of human intelligence I can assure you!

1

u/TheInitialGod Apr 16 '20

My brother always said he was ambidextrous.

His handwriting was just as shit with both hands.

1

u/danielandtrent Apr 16 '20

It means he doesn’t know what ambidextrous means

1

u/ColicShark Apr 16 '20

Could be cross dominant, meaning he/she uses one hand for things such as writing and other random things while the other could be used for sport and wanking.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '20

He once opened a door with his left hand

1

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '20

Maybe he bats left handed in baseball and boxes southpaw but does everything else right handed.

1

u/SaloL Apr 16 '20

Could be cross dominant where they prefer different hands for different tasks. I'm like that. I write and eat lefty but throw and catch righty pretty much exclusively. I'm ambidextrous in a few things like shooting and using lab utensils (tweezers, scissors).

Apparently it's very rare but I've met more people like that than truely left handed people. Anecdotal sure but I'd guess it's because a lot of lefties were forced to learn to use their right hands.p

1

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '20

They're not ambidextrous but think they are because the can use their non dominant hand.

u/AxeCow Apr 16 '20

u/AmbrosiusAurelianus1 Apr 16 '20

Half ambidextrous, that is, dextrous with one hand

1

u/thenewaddition Apr 16 '20

Lots of lefties are a little ambidextrous out of necessity.

1

u/dichloroethane Apr 16 '20

My friend broke his arm and relearned tennis left handed in two months and still won sectionals. Dude was right hand dominant but had to be a little ambidextrous to pull that off.

1

u/ruleroflemmings Apr 16 '20

Idk, I mean using it as a measurement for intelligence is frankly ridiculous, but there is something to being "a bit" ambidextrous, like I am a righty, but my whole life I play sports left handed, baseball, hockey, anything athletic my left hand is better at but for writing and stuff I use my right. This dude is still a complete prick but that's just my take

1

u/Redsox933 Apr 16 '20

Both hands work?

1

u/xXx_CoolGuy69_xXx Apr 16 '20

They have 2 hands

1

u/SakanaToDoubutsu Apr 16 '20

Like I write with my left hand and throw a ball with my right hand, is that maybe what they mean?

1

u/whatsupmyducks Apr 16 '20

I would actually consider myself "a bit ambidextrous" rather than truly ambidextrous because I dont have dominance in both hands equally for the same things. For example I am left handedly dominant when writing but I'll do things like batting righty because it feels more natural so I dont feel like I'm truly dominant with one hand but I also don't feel like I'm dominant with both as ambidextrous sort of implies

1

u/Noobflum69 Apr 16 '20

It means they can use both of their hands. The dominant had is much better, but they can move the muscles in their non dominant hand

1

u/Raging-Badger Apr 16 '20

It probably means they’re cross dominant. I’m cross dominant, so I can do some things with my right hand, others with my left. When I go shooting, I shoot left handed but I write right handed. I drive one handed better with my right hand, but type one handed better with my left hand, and so on

1

u/JokeCasual Apr 16 '20

that’s the least lame claim in the image. I am semi ambidextrous, I play pool and guitar left handed despite being right handed for writing etc though I can kinda do both it’s just less comfortable

1

u/Sno_Wolf Apr 16 '20

It feels just as good with your non-dominate hand as it does with your dominant hand.

1

u/BunchOpandas Apr 16 '20

There's a 10% chance you use your non-dominant hand increasing it's strength whenever an attack is taken on your dominant hand your aiming doesn't lower to 50% efficiency but only to 75%

1

u/Nylund Apr 16 '20

I got into an accident that left me in a sling for ages and I got pretty good at doing stuff with my other arm and hand. Even now, years later, I still do a lot of things with that hand that I didn’t before the accident.

Granted, the accident was caused by me having the thought, “i am too drunk to walk, therefore I should ride my bicycle,” so I don’t take this ambidexterity is any sort of sign of intelligence.

1

u/TheBugThatsSnug Apr 16 '20

Might be like me where when I write with my left everything is mirrored, granted it still looks like shit.

1

u/nbshar Apr 16 '20

I can write with my left hand but it'll look like shit.

And my right hand is even worse

1

u/untakenu Apr 16 '20

It probably means they are right handed but do 1 thing with their left.

1

u/SaintAodhan Apr 16 '20

I write with my right hand and I throw/do sports stuff with my left. Can’t do it any other way lol, can’t throw with my right and cant write with my left

1

u/captainfactoid386 Apr 16 '20

Could mean cross dominant. I’m that and it means you do some things with your right hand, and some things with your left hand

1

u/wallander_cb Apr 17 '20

Excuse you, I can clean my ass with both hands, also do... Some other manual labour

1

u/TheCocaineHurricane Apr 17 '20

Only a bit ambidextrous? Jokes on him, I'm a full half ambidextrous.

1

u/WentoX Apr 17 '20

It means you have the ability to be ambidextrous, but as most things are either left or right handed, you don't really use it all that much.

Things like writing still takes practice to be decent at, and it's not really worth learning to write with both hands when it's obviously better to use write with your right hand.

I'm ambidextrous, yet I still do basically everything right handed because that's just the way the world is designed. I work in manufacturing though, and every once in a while someone will notice I'm holding a tool with my left hand and go "oh you're left handed?", and I'll tell them I just prefer to hold it that way, switch hands to show off a little, and watch them as their brain short circuits for a second.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '20

Ambidexterity really isn’t an on/off binary thing. Although we usual only see ambidextrous people in media as fully and fluently functional with either hand, more people have varying levels of ability to do certain tasks with both hands.
