This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Maybe it’s not something where they remember they’re right or left handed based on that specific thing, but just that they prefer using the hand on that side.

That sounds weird. You wouldn’t need to understand the concept of left and right to know you have a dominant hand. You would just innately know one hand is the dominant one and the other isn’t. If I told my cat that a treat was behind the door on the left he’d be like “wtf is left bruh”, but he almost always bats at shit with his right paw.

Yes, that's my point. They know they have a dominant hand, and which hand that is. They are also likely to remember whether they are right or left handed. Even if they don't know intrinsically what "right" is it can simply be memorized in the same way that people know their blood type.

Combining those two pieces of information should let a person figure out which side is which.
