When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

We talk a lot about "writer's block," but not nearly enough about "writer's avalanche" -- that feeling of just going about your day, doing the dishes or walking your dog or whatever, and getting blindsided by a flash of ideas that swamp you all at once.

By now, some of you are probably reaching the point of, “Jeez! We get it! You’re left-handed! Why you gotta harp on it so much.” But the thing is, it’s not really about being left handed. Bear with me…

Things that are oddly perfect for left-handed people: #2: Nutrition labels For most boxed foods, when a lefty grabs it off the grocery store shelf, just turn the box toward you and read it! Righty? Your hand’s over the label. Do they not want you to know what’s in it?

Things that are oddly perfect for left-handed people: #1: Toilets I suspect the flush handle is conveniently (for me) on the left because social convention is to greet someone (shake!) using your right hand. So people don’t wanna flush with that one.

Things you may or may not have noticed are designed specifically for right-handed people: #10: (Some) handles We're a "keep to the right" culture, so even lefties reach for double-doors with our right hand to swing them open, but there's also unnecessarily handed ones like the ex. below. Why?

Things you may or may not have noticed are designed specifically for right-handed people: #5: Desks Sure, you can have the drawers on the left -- if you're willing to pay more for a bigger/custom/modular model. Again, most offices/hotels/schools don't bother. *bigger sigh*

Things you may or may not have noticed are designed specifically for right-handed people: #2: Ladles (especially fat skimmers) If you're left handed, you have to pour away from yourself (awkward! messy!) or use your non-dominant hand (also awkward! usually messy!).

Things you may or may not have noticed are designed specifically for right-handed people: #1: Pie servers. Many have a cutting edge on only one side and/or are angled to make it easier to slip under a crust edge from the right side. If you're left handed, your pie will DEFINITELY get mangled.
