💀Left-Handed People Shouldn't Exist 

Worst: Using scissors is painful. Best: We get to use a (right-handed) mouse and a pen at the same time.

I'm a lefty, and my god, if you're into archery, it will be torture for you to find the proper equipment for a lefty.

Lefty are born warrior's ⚔️

When I started to learn to write in school, a teacher slapped my left hand hard repeatedly while I was trying to trace letters. I went home crying. When I explained why to my mother, she charged down to the school, called the teacher and the principal front and center and went full drill sergeant all over both of them. From then on, I learned with my left hand with no more interference. Go, Mom! P.S. I learned to write normally, without curling my left hand around unnaturally, the way so many lefties do. People comment all the time about how "normal" my handwriting is.

Hey! I'm a leftie. I have no problem with anything! I adjust pretty quickly if there's something I have to do with my right hand. Like using a mouse. My first PC was shared with my dad who is a righty, so everytime I wanted to use a PC I had to drag the mouse to the other side of the keyboard under my left hand. I quickly grew tired of doing this everytime so I just decided to get used to using a mouse with my right hand. It was weird and difficult at first, but I quickly got used to it. Same with playing guitar. I taught myself to be proud of it and though it's not really my achievement I feel unique and original. and I don't mind people pointing it out. It's a conversation starter for sure. The only thing that really bothers me is that I can't write with fountain pen cause I really like it, I just smear whatever I write instantly.

I had a traumatic childhood because I was lefty. Got beatings soo hard as a kid from my parents and teacher just for using my left hand. Shits annoying

I’m left-handed, and I recently found out something quite interesting. So it was a science experiment in school testing reaction times, where someone would drop a ruler and would see how fast you caught it. It was tested on both your dominant and non-dominant hand. The results came out with right-handed people having faster right hands than left hands, but left-handed people having a much smaller margin between their hands. The teacher explained that this is because of how left-handed people have learnt how to fit in within society, and have had to conform, so their hands are actually more equally functional. So yeah, strength in number of hands I guess 😅

As a Vietnamese, us lefties tend to get molded into the "right hand norm" from a young age. I had to learn to write with my right hand when I was 5, among other things. That resulted in me using left hand for things like sports and fighting, while the right hand is for using chopsticks and writing, etc. Now it's both funny and cumbersome at the same time to explain to my friends which is my dominant side and how it works.

Being left-handed has always presented a challenge to me growing up and into adulthood. I've had to adapt to using my right hand in plenty of scenarios but I'm very strongly left-side dominant. You get used to being the odd man out as a lefty but it never entirely stops being frustrating. Plus everyone is always like 'oh man you're left-handed I never noticed' or 'wow you write so weird with your left hand!' Like duh, I don't want to smudge the ink. I just want to exist and I don't expect anyone to cater to it lol.

Being a lefty has made my handwriting worse, and darkened my hands with the stains of ink and graphite. Like the video said, I tend to prefer to always be on the left corner of the table so I don't rub elbows. But I also hear there are some interesting cognitive differences in being left handed, like being more naturally creative and more of an information sponge, so I'm totally fine with the tradeoffs.

I'm left handed, as are three of my aunts and uncles. My dad was one of the right-handed siblings, and he did try to change me as a baby. My mom was going to intervene but she saw I was dealing with it myself so she just let me do that. Apparently he'd force me to take something with my right hand, and then I'd give him a dirty look and then switch whatever it was into my left. I've had to deal with things not working for me like they should my whole life. And it's some of the weirdest little things, too. Like why can't I spread butter like a normal person? Well, if you look closely at the knives, they're keyed to be easier to use by right handed people. I switched to a knife that had the little serrations on both sides, and suddenly I could spread butter. You get really good at picking the seat at the left end of the table so you aren't bumping elbows with anyone.

Fun fact: discrimination against lefties is called being sinistral

boy do I have a leftie story. there was a wedding in our apartment, and during the reception, me and my mother sat across our next door neighbours. I'm Indian, so it's already a societal thing that you're not supposed to eat w your left hand like you said, but that's what I do 🤷‍♀️ this lady looks at me eating, and says, "Oh, she's a leftie?" then looks at my mom and goes, "you probably never got a chance to teach/show her the right way" in a very apologetic manner. me and my mom still laugh about that to this day.

Scissors! They're almost always molded for righties and are uncomfortable to use left-handed. The blades are also naturally pushed apart when used left-handed, making it much harder to cut unless you intentionally apply pressure like a right hand naturally would.

I can’t believe that there is so much history and hardship for people who are left handed, highly underrated vid dude

Parents attempted to change my handedness, but gave up after seeing 2 yr old me use my left hand to grip my right hand to accomplish the tasks they told me to use my right hand for. As for inconveniences, ink smudging is mentioned a lot but not much about refillable pens that unscrew in the middle opening up when writing in an exam. It does come with benefits though, I can jot down notes with the left hand while using the computer mouse with my right.

I hope this channel blows up. Great presentation and entertaining as hell

Great and informative vid! As a leftie, the most inconvenient thing must be bumping into others elbows..that is why I always tried to sit at the most left site in school haha. But I should call myself lucky to label this as my biggest problem, because to this day still many left-handed born children are being forced to only use their right hand which makes me furious! Nothing is as bad for a young human than fucking their brain up

When I moved to live and work in Vietnam (from US) "tay trái" (left-handed) was one of the first Vietnamese words I learned because it's so unusual to be left-handed here. I've seen a few Vietnamese people that use chopsticks with their left hand, but not one that writes with it. This is due to "forced handedness"' that is very common across all of Asia.

F.. the world we are lefty

I'm right-handed, but I trained to my write with my left hand back in February 2023. One of the greatest decisions I made. It's so cool to sort of be a "lefty" :D

The reason I was always a lefty and wasn't forced to be a rightie was because one of my uncles was stunted mentally and my family chalked it up to the fact that they forced him, a natural lefty to a right handed norm, that probably wasn't the reason but they saw it like that anyways. So my parents always encouraged my leftiness because of it

Great video! Leftie here, I had no idea that Arabic/Hebrew scripts also have origins in right handed bias. In fencing handedness plays a noticable role and once a left handed fencer has gotten used to fighting a right handed fencer, it becomes a slight advantage until they spar against very experienced fencers. It's definitely fascinating for sure to see how much culture is built around right handedness. I think my favorite fun fact is that "sinister" come from Latin for left while "dexterous" comes from Latin for "right".

I'm an odd lefty. I use my left hand to write and eat, swing a bat left handed, and generally use my left as my main hand. (Think of what hand you put on a ladder first, or use to brace yourself when standing up/getting down) However. I use scissors with my right, I suck with left handed ones, use a knife with my right and left, shoot right handed, use a bow right handed, naturally want to use my right hand to shift a car , which makes sense because I'd rather my dominant hand be on the wheel!! I can also write right handed as well. Oh and chopsticks I use with my left also, but I paint pictures with my left, and big things like walls with my right.....😅

I'm typing this message with my left hand for support all the lefies, banger video btw.

Hey thanks for this! It’d be so interesting to see one video about dyslexia too… I am both, left-handed and dyslexic 😝 Thanks again for the video!

Grew up fighting as a southpaw ... It's amazing how many people don't know how to defend the right side of their bodies in a fight you can end most fights pretty quickly by simply swinging for the right side of someone's face because most people don't bother to get both hands up

Being left-handed I hate scissors ✂️ 😡

Fellow lefties, start larping, left hand swordswman are dope in a 2 man shield phalanx with a pikeman in the middle.

Another interesting fact regarding the very keyboard these comments are all typed on: the left-side of QWERTY keyboards contain most of the commonly used letters. So were they designed for lefties in mind? Of course not! Back in early typewriter days, typewriters could easily get jammed if typing too quickly, so a keyboard lettering layout was designed to make it as difficult as possible for right-handed dominant people to type by slowing them down with most of the commonly used letters being on their non-dominant, left-hand side. The letters most commonly strung together were also placed as far apart from each other as well to prevent jamming. The world all around us has been designed by right-handed people with right-handed dominance in mind. It's all quite fascinating really when you really look into why things are the way they are. Very well-made video, I wish your channel rapid success and growth. And shout-out to all my fellow lefties out there since we're totally the best handedness ;D

I remember finding ways to adjust with the disdain of righties. In 2nd grade, all that existed were right handed student chair. I moved a second chair around to hold my elbow and was chastized for it. Everbody gets one chair! And I replied, eneryone should get a correct chair. The principal was going to suspend me for three days for back talking the teacher. My mom went ballistic. She went to the principal explained my situation and signed up to speak to the school board. Eventually I agreed to apologize to the teacher if she would apologize as well. We did and were friends from then on. Mutual respect matters.

I am a lefty and my family is mostly lefty my teachers would hit me every time I used my left hand and my parents would have to go to school when I would come home from school with bleeding knuckles my dad bought special supplies for me and the teacher wasn't allowed to hit me anymore

0:33 the wrench is being held in the unscrew position so right to left. Either the animation is being run in reverse or the animator doesn't know that there is a specific way to hold it to ensure maximum torque and ensure the wrench lasts. Holding it the way it is shown in the animation will put most of the strain on the adjustable jaw rather than the fixed jaw and it will break much more quickly.

Im a lefty. My parents didn't beat it out of me, but they were told that they should switch me. Luckily, they rebelled against family and didn't do it.

For those interested in a good left handed story look up Judges 3:12-30.......God used a left handed man to bring peace to Israel for 80 years.

I dont think lefties should not go extinct cause its a gift from god lefties are kind and have very good fighting skills.

Now I get why teachers used to hit my left hand whenever they saw me used it to write 💀 Literally, got discriminated against for that was bullshit but after having smashed I really couldn't use my left hand to write for days

5:30 this happened to me in my childhood, I was naturally a leftie but because of the culture my family made me use my right hand instead

my goofy kindergarten teacher abused me just bc I was a leftie, and she got angry and forced me to use my right hand to write, and she was like “you have bad handwriting💀” like girl sorry that I’m left handed- let me be

Lefty here, I used to play bass , it was not that easy in those days to find lefty instruments . Turns out I became ambidex! As a child I was very clumsy ,got snap with a ruler at school on my fingers because I would write with my left hand, they basically tried to beat it out of me . The world is to the right they would say . After all is said and done , I find being lefty is an advantage , even more now since I’ve learned how to work both left and right . But ya ,don’t beat lefties ,you just gonna make them even more adaptable to any situation and they will probably have the upper hand !

The difference between the incidence of left handedness is cultural, in most places in ghe past, and still many places now, it is common to force left handed children into writing or eating with their 'proper' hand

I love being a leftie. However, it arises some problems. When writing, as you said, my hands get darkened with the stains of ink and graphite. Also, I was a gamer a few years ago and I played on PC. It sucked to change ALL the controls on EVERY game I play to adapt it being my left hand the hand in the mouse. And some games didn't even have the option to change controls so I couldn't play them. Also, using normal scissors is a nightmare. I always thought I was dumb and I couldn't use scissors for whatever reason till I realized it was because scissors are also made for righties! Now I use lefties scissors.

Bowling: If you're a lefty, you need your own ball, as a regular ball is drilled for a righty.

I'm a lefty and I don't care about how you feel about it and you say bad things about us

I was right handed until I lost use of my right arm/hand when I was 13 and couldn't be more proud to be sinistre

Annoyances: Bumping shoulder and Arm to your neighbour while eating or writing, Difficult to find equipment when doing Arching, Rifle, etc., Teachers and Parents didn’t know how to teach me to write with the fountain pen so I had to figure it out on my own. Advantages: The world of Right-Handedness made me learn how to use my right hand making me partially ambidextrous. I cut (with scissors and knives) only with my right hand and even learned Chinese calligraphy with my right hand. I can use my can opener with my right hand. My stuff get’s rarely stolen when I actually buy equipment for left handed people.

Left handed people adapt

It makes you more manually dextrous because you’re living in a right handed world so you can pick up things a lot quicker technical things become easy you sort of doing them in reverse and then when you do move forward, yeah it’s just easier to pick up technical things

My family is an oddity. Of my parents and siblings, 3 or 5 are left handed. Of my children, 2 of 3 are left handed. Of all my cousins, 9 of 16. Aunts and uncles, 5 of 9. I know this because we actually talked about it very recently at various family functions over Christmas. That gene runs strong in this tribe.

As a lefty I will say it's not as bad as people make it seem and I feel unique in this world and it feels great knowing that some of the greatest people to walk this earth were/are lefties is really cool

I’m 100% left handed and the craziest thing for me being left-handed is I can’t use any left-handed Special utensils or anything like that. I guess it’s because I just grew up learning how to get by with the right handed people way… so just weird using what you would think I should use

I was born a lefty and both my oarents amd in 1st through 3rd grade teacher would beat me when I would use my left hand. Well, finally in third grade, I had enough and told my Mom of my abuse. That was the end of that school. Unfortuneatly, I was already trained to be a left hander and this has been affected me negatively my entire life. Until now. Beomg forced to use your right hand when you are a left hander is terrible for brain development, by rewiring your brian. This is then mistaken for learning difficulties.

Everything I ever learned doing after learning how to write (the elementary school teacher won that one) I do primarily with my left hand. such as shaving, steering the car and cutting food. I can use my right hand decently well, and sometimes it comes really useful - for some tasks, any hand will do, even two tasks at the same time. Lefty and proud, that's what all lefties should feel!

I was called a child of the devil when I was learning to write at school. Things are better now but I remember watching for trouble when my left handed grandson started school. Needn’t have worried those victorian predujices have about disappeared.

As a left-handed person i can say, whe are depressed. And you cannot blame us

Im ambidextrous (use of both hands) and i can say, having two hands is much better then one. Still interesting how lefties have some benefits

Scissors when I was a kid weren't made for both hands. They also tried to see if I could make my right hand be the dominant one but that didn't work. I love being left handed as my right hand is better than any right handed persons left.

The title of the video is stupid and insulting, why shouldn’t we exist? Are we unnecessary to the world? 5:30 8:20 I’m glad I never experienced it.

The nuns who ran my preschool used to steal my left handed scissors. Seriously-- I was there for a year and they took my scissors away at least 10 times. Add to it that I'm colorblind (horrible choice on the colors for your graphs btw) and I have zero chance of doing well in preschool.

The thing I don't understand about my left handed buddies is that they really don't know what hand to use. They use left for some things and right for others. Where as a right hander can't do squat with the left hand.LOL

I'm a leftie and wanted to watch this video as an excuse to yeet myself but found hope instead 😅

Being left handed is kinda hard ngl, especially at dinner.

I'm left hand and I learn faster and learn on my own and I think before do things i also can do things others can do but i find easier ways of doing it and i think alot idk if becuase im aquarius aswell

How dare you right hand people say something about it

As a left handed chef, I can attest that most kitchen utensils and equipment are designed for right handed people.

So you telling me I shouldn’t exist?

This is neat. I never really worried about things being right handed. That's life and I'm used to it so I have never paid it much heed. Yet I had seen people struggle mightily and be defeated by left handed scissors. Maybe left handed people exist just in case of the event we can't give up?

My parents , teachers, fsmily members tried various ways from the first time i picked something up as a toddler with my left hand to ' slap it out of me' , words like ' no man wants a left handed woman etc' to pure bullying but i am still left handed, i did learn to use my right hand but my rebellion was always to use the left hand in the presence of others especially those i knew would say silly things about it. I am glad i prevailed and did not change for anyone!!

The latin word for left is "sinister". My grandma tried to train me to write with my right hand by giving me small gifts if I complete an A4 page this way. She gave up within two month.

You right hand people are just like racist people about a person that is different than most people

I write left handed and eat left handed. Everything else I'm right handed. Not ambidextrous.

Being a lefty writing in fountain pens was the worst I smudged all my school work 😂 and what I written couldn’t be read so I wrote in pencil instead

I had difficulty time as a kid my parents used to tie my left hand so i can use the the right hand… my first born is a lefty like me we understand each other

well, I am the only lefty of my whole entire family. the first one in 4 generations and honestly I feel honored to be a left handed person although it does come with a lot of daily disadvantages it is really just one big advantage. I am proud to be left handed

I am left handed I knew I was different from everyone else

pros: instant combat advantage cons: scissors hurt ouchie

i only write with my left hand, everything else i do with my right e.g. sports, eating, lifting stuff im not sure if my left hand really is that much stronger than my right

left hand people are smarter. I play a guitar with my right throw a ball with my left.

MY GRANDPA AND MY DAD WERE LEFTYS AT BIRTH BUT IT WAS CUSTOMARY TO "MAKE" THEM RIGHT HANDED BY RESTRAINING THE LEFT HAND BEHIND THE BACK WHILE BEING FORCED TO LEARN HOW TO BE RIGHT HANDED. MY FAMILY OWNED DAIRY FARMS AND DELIVERY SO IT WAS SUPPOSEDLY TO HELP IN USING AGRICULTURAL EQUIPMENT THAT WAS ALL RIGHT HANDED. IM A NATURAL LEFTY BUT I ONLY PREFER WRITING WITH LEFT AND WAS MORE POWERFUL AT BATTING WHEN USING LEFT SIDE BUT PLAYED WITH BOTH. I PITCHED LEFT AS WELL. BUT WHEN I USE A CHAINSAW OR WEEDEATER I DO THEM RIGHT HANDED.

i have a suspision that i am naturaly a lefty but i stil write with my right hand

I am left handed, and biggest problem was when I was young I wrote with my right hand, ofc because everyone else was also doing it, and my handwriting was and still is terrible but fear not, with the power of the almighty keyboard writing became easy ;D

I'm not bitching about anything but some of the ungly comment

When Rossi retired he revealed his biggest career secret as to why he was so incredible no matter the turn: he is ambidextrous.

Im a lefty bowler, and the oil is always more consistent on the lanes on the left side. Its a nice advantage over right hand bowlers.

Where can I buy a left-handed coffee cup?😂😂❤

Can openers 😭 scissors 😭😭 3 ring binders 😭😭😭

I’m a lefty my grandma has told me many stories about how she was miss teated as a lefty they were still doing this into the 9000s☠️

BRO RIGHT HANDED AREN'T BETTER,QND WE DON'T CARE

The title murdered me 😭😭😭😭😭😢😢😢 im lefty

I'm a lefty and I've actually noticed over the years that playing video games with the movement stick always used with my left thumb gives me a mad movement advantage in stuff like smash bros. Shit even elden ring I seem to have a little better movement timing and control

Power tools like skill saws are dangerous for lefties. The saw blade is exposed to the right side of the saw. For righties, they grip the trigger with their right hand and stand on the left side of the saw. This leaves them protected from the spinning blade. If a leftie grips the trigger with their left hand, they are standing on the right side of the saw and exposed to the blade. I've had to learn to use other tools like scissors with my right hand in order to adapt.

Being lefty(like me :). ) is just having ur life auto selected to hard mode

Middleeastern dialects are written right to left, read right to left, and books are bound right to left with the back cover being the front cover so.. left-handed. I have been right-handed for all my life but just recently taught myself how to write with my left hand.

I write right to left down as to not smudge my ink, typical handwriting practice for lefties in the UK. My Asian friends do the same.

I use both hands to accomplish all sorts of tasks, it just depends on the task requires. Right hand for power. Left hand for precision

I'm a lefty but only in teens and when writing in class it is annoying since my elbow bumps with the person next to me. Luckily you can get past this by sitting on the very left side of the table

I'm a lefty. A college roommate, also a lefty, had a elementary school teacher, beat her, so she wouldn't be left handed. Her parents were furious with the teacher. True we may be bassackwards on left VS right hand learning. But so what? It makes us more unique.

You never disappoint. Great work!

Hi again!!!!! Great video like always, keep up the good work!!😃😃❤️🙌🔥

Being a leftie is to be the black sheep. When I started school I was targeted by the class bully due to it, little did he know that I fight back and he left me alone after that. I have adapted to things that I can't be left handed in but it takes time to adapt, this makes us more aware of things and we don't just run on auto pilot as you get caught out sometimes. Also at school I was a mean bowler but sucked at batting in cricket. No one could bowl to me as the ball always went behind me. But when bowling I would do spinners towards the wicket. As soon as the ball bounced they couldn't hit it as it spins the opposite way in the hands of a lefty and I was highly accurate at hitting the middle wicket.
