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.
