    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.

    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.

    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.

    Yep, my older friend tells me often that he used to be left handed, but his parents forced him to become right handed by either beating him whenever he used his left hand or by tying up his left hand to his side for long periods of time, just to force him to use his right hand.

    Still does certain stuff with his left hand, but he can no longer write with it, since it is too shaky now.
