Right handed vs left handed things

Kinda OT, but do you guys think lefties are usually a bit more ambidextrous? If so, is it just because they use their off hand more often out of necessity or is it more intrinsic to being left handed?

I would be shocked if righthanded people were more ambidextrous

I'm lefthanded with fairly reasonable ambidexterity, besides writing and using chopsticks I can do most things righthanded as well

Side note: I noticed you right-handers switch your fork to your left hand and your knife to your right to cut a piece of steak, then switch the fork back to your right to eat it. That is so weird. My fork always stays in my left hand, and I just cut with my right. No switching required.

That's just a stupid way of eating called the American way or something like that.

It seems to me that driving a stick shift is better for a left-handed person (I'm left-handed, BTW). When shifting, you are steering with your left hand, which, IMO requires more coordination than shifting.

I don't think staying within 8-10ft of car lane requires more coordination than moving a stick 6 inches from one slot into another specific slot.

It just keeps the dominant hand in play on the central task, so is very natural.

I'll do it either way, kind of randomly. If I'm not cutting anything, the fork is in my dominant(right) hand.
