Right. 

But I can throw a baseball with either hand. And I bat, or should say, batted, left. 

I cannot eat left handed. Fuck that noise. But I can pick a booger with either set of fingers.

i write with my right hand, fire weapons with my left. 

i learned to golf right-handed because my dad was right-handed and we only had rightie clubs to learn with. but when i got old enough to have my own clubs, i bought lefties and suddenly realized i wasn't complete shit at golf anymore.

i can't imagine being right-handed and making a conscious decision to shoot lefty. so many firearms have a backwards safety, etc. i assume you've always been that way?

Right handed. I play guitar and stuff so my left hand isn't useless.

What's eye do you use to shoot with?

My dominate eye is my right eye but I'm left handed, I fiddled around with different stances but eventually just started shooting right handed because it took forever to line a shot up that wouldn't risk having the gun kicking back into my face

@midnight being able to throw a baseball with both hands is fairly impressive, if I remember correctly I think the Athletics had a relief pitcher that would bring two gloves to the mound because he could pitch with both arms.  I can do stuff with my right hand but trying to throw a baseball on that side is just an embarrassing act for me... just picture what someone stroking out mid throw would look like and that's the results.  I did experiment with switch hitting for a couple years during practices, the results weren't nearly as disastrous as throwing  but I was way more fluid and coordinated batting left handed

I'm right handed. My left isn't useless, but it's not good for the nitty gritty of writing and things like that. 

It handles the WASD keys and surrounding hot keys well enough though.

I can see the ball better when I am batting left. Although, I have more power from the right side of the plate. 

But I mostly batted left.

@molarbear my left eye is dominant. while qualifying for the rifle range in boot camp, i UNQ (failed) i was 

shooting with my right eye. the day before the last qual, the PI took myself and one other 

to a shooting gallery (it was basically like a game) and had me fire the same, so he said try the other side

i got all bullseyes. so on last qual day, i got expert score (but because i had already UNQ'd i only qualified as

marksman. 

i was so happy. then i had this asshole butter~bar, that was going to 'mansplain' how to fire a weapon, 

because all he saw was that i had only qual'd as a marksman, and wanted his numbers up.

so, he took me to the range, and as i ignored his 'words of wisdom' i got dead center, shut him up real quick. 

tl:dr yes...it was because of my vision that i have to shoot left handed. but, i also snowboard 'daffy'

For me all the advantages were batting on the left, I just wanted to be a switch hitter and played around with it until finally admitting my body/brain couldn't function that way

 I was taught to point your thumb at a corner and close one eye at a time and the eye where your thumb is still on said corner is your dominate eye

Batting left, I had an open stance and was a pull hitter. Everything went to right field.

Batting right, I had a more closed stance and could manage to hit up the middle. 

I was a far more consistent hitter from the left side.

I am right-handed

but I bat, play hockey, and golf (etc.) left-handed... or at least I would if I had done any of those things recently

when I eat with a knife and a fork, I have kind of trained myself to not switch the fork back to my right hand to eat whatever I've cut

I thought about it and all i do with my left hand without the help of my right hand is pop pills, scratch, bear my weight and open my car door.

.........Right-handed. You’re right-handed. Just fucking say that next time. Fuck.

We're totally right handed, but We very often try to do stuff with the left, because We don't like the idea of being constrained. Some stuff We can do almost as well as We can with the right. Those are things We're complete shit at to begin with though.
