WE TRIED TO WARN YOU @cogenteur.bsky.social · 24/06/2024Apologies to the southpaws, but for most of us: The right hand is the dominant hand -- the strong hand. The left is the coordinate hand -- the helping hand. 000
heauxmo @copolitics.bsky.social · 24/06/2024I can’t find my note but I was working on a poem along the lines of “they say you can’t use the master’s tools to dismantle his house/But a screwdriver can turn left instead of right” 0171

Dr Jarko #7291 🇪🇸 @jarko314.bsky.social · 24/06/2024Sorry for the Facebook video, but yes!, this is a clip from Bricomania, a DYI Spanish TV show where the host uses that sentence to explain how to memorize the tap directions.

Autistic velociraptor @asdraptor.bsky.social · 24/06/2024Spaniard here: I can tell you that this expression is not really that widespread in the country. I've been to a good bunch of places in Spain, lived in several regions and never heard of it. And it's not "la derecha oprime" but more "la derecha aprieta" which is similar but slightly different 090
Tom Chappell @tomchappell.bsky.social · 23/06/2024I had heard the same thing, but supposedly a common saying in Germany 110
