The number of left-handed people increased due to the trauma of WW1 and WW2. No more increase since wars have stopped in the world. Amazing.
Is there evidence that trauma causes left-handedness? I'd always heard that this was due to people no longer being punished for being left-handed, making it a good comparison for people fearmongering about rising rates of recorded transness or autism.
That would also imply that the trauma of ww1+2 are continuing to make people born in the 90s and 2000s left handed
Yes, its a quantum epigenetic resonance effect. I can sell you some crystals to treat it, if you like.
I would like 4 epigenetic resonator crystals to go, please. Please make sure they are chock full of orgone.
Orgone! We don’t need no stinking
orwhen we got!(!a and !b)!But that’s what ‘orgone’ means, ‘or gone’. Which I support, because fsck Boolean operators.
So much orgonne.
It’s a joke that the rise in left handedness correlated to the time period of the war. It’s just pointing out a spurious correlation, and falsely equating the two.
Either you just whooshed really hard, or I am by posting this. I genuinely can’t tell if this is sarcasm.
Oh I couldn't tell that the comment I was replying to was being sarcastic, I'm a tad autistic.
I think that poster is wrong by attributing it all to the war, but what they're implying with trauma is physical trauma causing the non-functioning, or requiring the amputation, of a right-handed person's right hand. Probably a lot more acceptable to be left-handed when your right one has been blown off and all.
I'm pretty sure it was just a joke about correlation and causation.
