Probably about 80% ambidextrous -- right is probably my favoured and most precise but I can rapid chop a carrot or dice an onion with my left hand if I wanted, and will carve a ham/beef/lamb joint with whatever makes sense for the positions and bones involved probably swapping hands before repositioning or spinning the carving platter. Writing sucks with either hand but right is better. Can solder with either. Hammers, saws, drills, chisels... whatever makes sense for the direction and position, though will typically go for right. Walk the dog (40+KG of German shepherd who loves chasing some rabbits, pheasants, hares, squirrels, deer, cats... and gets to full speed within about 2m, his lead being 5m, and we live in the country with loads of those all around) with either. Guns are around 80%, though that gets weird as I am neither eye dominant (the trick where you point at something with both eyes open, close one and see what goes varies depending on the hand I am using, matching sides for the curious). Swords... if I can have two I will but probably mostly right, certainly most practice done with it and don't even know if I could reliably do the whole arm, neck, leg, heart/liver and twist routine with my left). Toothbrush is either/swapping. Fist fighting then either are good for gouging out someone's eyes, deflecting or catching things. Computer mouse is usually right because that is how they are set up if you want anything fancy on them but if someone is left handed I won't swap around.

As far as forcing people to use another that is something that intrigues me and will occasionally read up what goes there. Can have some very interesting effects. My grandma was likely forced but they seemingly stopped around here in the 60s, didn't know it stuck around for that long (albeit at seemingly a far lower level) for others.

This bloody thing that I have posted a picture below has for my whole life frustrated me to the maximum. I have had numerous fights with it in my kitchen and it normally always wins. Its impossible to use if you are left handed.

That is more likely because I have not seen a good one of those can openers of that design in about 20 years.

They always seem to use the cheapest and nastiest steel that flexes just enough that while it technically works it does not work.
I don't know if a left handed version of that design exists, much less in good form, but you can do better with one of the nice razor edge ones that takes the whole top off rather than cutting a circle in them.
Still leave the can on the counter and have it spin there (I know old ones you could hold it up but not the new ones), you might also try either crossing your wrists or going from the back on the left or if you can risk it/also need to drain something then upside down. That or go for complete decadence and get an electric opener.

Is that because it is so weak and uncoordinated that it feels like a) someone else doing it and b) is unlikely to hurt you?

No i'm a righty. My parents raised me the right way.


Just playing obviously. I am actually left handed for anything that requires 2 hands interestingly enough. Baseball bat, broom, hockey stick, stuff like that.
Also Snowboarding? I'm left foot dominant? The lift instructors always make fun of my because of how I pop my back foot out and "push" my board around with my left foot.

Forgot feet and sports above.

Regular stance on skateboards, surfboards and snowboards but am a filthy mongo pusher when regular and "normal" when switch and by no means am I any kind of switch means nothing type -- it is definitely harder and requires more concentration or will see me stack harder or more commonly if I hit a stone on a skateboard and I am riding switch. If doing switch/fakie grabs then hand wise then whatever is then easier for my left hand by virtue of being the other way around will be fine. Can't really do mongo when switch (or at least not with any kind of grace/wouldn't want to do it going down a steep hill) but can push "normally" when in regular stance and definitely prefer to do that when fakie. At this point it has been so long my foot position setup is fast enough that only in the absolute shortest runups (which will probably involve a running jump anyway) does it bother me.
Messing around on a BMX is makes no odds though will typically put the right pedal to the top and I might even favour a left turn on a ramp where regular stance skateboard will favour right turns. Back to skateboards frontside or backside makes no great difference for 180s in any stance or pivoting, 360s backside is probably going to be better but that is more a matter of practice as it is a different motion/wind up and I tend not to bother with them anyway. Freestyle I guess one footed manual favours right (though that might be more just because regular and mongo) and while I will spin in primo/rail with either foot being the pivot if I am doing a flip then right foot will be providing the spin, casper-switch casper-anti casper -- if I am to be doing some kind of crazy 720 flip out of it then regular is better but if just doing a shove or simple flip no great difference.
Haven't done enough snowboarding to say much there (it is very different to skateboarding though -- beyond basic balance, reaction times and comfort going "sideways" it is basically completely different) beyond trying to push mongo with your foot at 90 does rather twist your knee.
Roller skates will be right foot preferred for the tricky stuff or going backwards but they are skates so not a lot in it.

Default will be right hand down in hockey but will save the left to mess with people or defend accordingly.

Football. Probably right foot but kicking the ball for the dog whatever one is most convenient for the position the ball is at.
Bat spots, racquet sports and the like is probably right handed but can convincingly do left handed if you had not previously seen right. Same for fishing but will probably go with right as that is how most rods are set up, also as is commonly said there is fine line between fishing and standing on the shore like an idiot.
