I can independently write different text with both hands at the same time just as easily as writing with only one hand. I consider this a useless skill because I rarely ever write with an actual pen or pencil, so being able to write with both hands simultaneously doesn’t add anything.
Lots of time being bored in school and an obsession with broadening the mind.
Could you use both hands to write the same sentence twice as fast?
In principle, yes, but this would require some additional effort because of word spacing. The sentence would need to come together and meet at a point.
Basically same. I don't know if being ambidextrous is something you can be born with. I broke arms, wrists, fingers enough that functionality I had to be able to use both hands in school and sports.
I dont know, friend. thats a bit of a step up from the usual party trick.
best I've got is zero lead hand/leg preference when sparring muay thai. makes me a real lonely or a real popular dance partner depending on the crowd.
Second job overnights at a gas station... Pretty much any combination of right/left hand, upside down/mirrored, cursive/text, words forward/letters backwards, etc.
So this sounded crazy to me, like I’d never be able to do that, I just grabbed paper, a pen in my left hand(I’m right handed) and a pen shaped object in the other(it doesn’t write) I moved both hands at the same time as if writing with both, and my left hand writing is better than I’ve ever seen myself do, when trying to independently write with my left hand.
That’s not useless, a 14th century monastery would love to have you
Thank you! At least it gave me something to show for all that time.
