If you had to lose one limb, which one would you lose?

<< < (6/14) > >>

mgz:
im naturally almost fully ambidextrous, so with little to no practice i can do most things comfortably with my left hand. Exception to that being things like writing which i can do but its fucking worse then my already poor handwriting. And throwing/hitting in baseball. Both of the baseball ones could be overcome with some practice its just the muscle memory and practice was always done with my right.

Viseroid:
Cool, should do a little more practice so you can be fully ambi :D. What's weird is that I'm right handed but since I played violin a bunch my left hand types much more efficiently than my right hand does. That's probably another reason why I'd rather keep my left arm.

fohfoh:
I can hit left or right and shoot left or right in baseball, gold and hockey. I usually just lack power on one side due to muscle memory, but somehow that power lacking side always has more accuracy. (And I don't think it's from the lesser power either).

Writing I agree is chicken scratch on the left hand. However, I've changed my writing style 2 times in post secondary, once in middle school and once in high school.

Middle school was pure crap, let's say that.
High school was a mixture of hand writing and printing
Post secondary was mainly printing with a tiny bit of hand writing left in (first time)
Second change in post secondary consisted on refining the choice of "font" for certain words. I do the full "a" and not the short hand version of it which doesn't have the part at the top.

That's probably why my left hand can't compare at all for writing. It's still using the font I used from elementary school.

And define "little to no practice". I spend maybe 30 mins to a several hours to figure out how to do the other side "properly". Proper in the sense that it's decent and acceptable and not just barely passable. I mean, it's still weak, but not so weak it's useless... even if it's technically dexterously passable.

Like I said, I wouldn't want to lose my arms.

SirSkyRider:
None. I almost lost my right arm when I was once, but it could be saved and has recovered well, though it hurts when I write too much too fast.

Hiero:
If you plan on sitting at your computer all day then lose your leg, otherwise it's smarter to lose your arm even though that's just an opinion. I'd lose my right arm as I'm left handed..but typing now would be a pain in the ass...
