    It's usually the weaker hand for me since I use the dominant one to get a grip of what I'm opening...

    I use my tentacles. All twelve of them. At once. On one jar.

    Could you use your tentacles to open more than one jar at a time, or is it a principle thing?

    The neat way about how moments works: if you twist opposite sides the opposite ways, the moments will add together instead of cancelling out. Ergo, you use both hands to open a bottle (twisting action). The question is which hand you hold the thing with where. (unless you guys are weirdos and leave one wrist straight and stiff, that's not very efficient!)

    I hold the container/jar/bottle in my right hand and twist the cap with my left.

    Well, if the jars are small and I can get my suckers around them, I can open multiple jars. But I use my tail sometimes too.

    That's pretty neat foa. And I meant the top hand rubah, just so you know, we're not that weird

    EDIT: Unless you open stuff upside down, in which case it's the bottom. Let's just say relative to the opening of the can/bottle/jar

    I guess if you define opening hand as hand touching the lid, it's my left hand!

    I also use my left hand to open cans, unless they're soup cans, then I use a knife.

    I use both hands, depending on how I feel in the situation.

    Both because I care about physics and because sometimes, one hand just plain feels lazy.

    I usually use my dominant hand, but, if I happen to have something non-carbonated (like a can of Hawaiian Punch), I like to use my teeth.

    Uh... you should have a non-dominate hand option

    I am very obviously right handed, but my left arm is stronger than my right.

    However, I flip back and forth. I can go either way really. It doesn't matter which is on top.


    uh... that last statement could so be looked at the wrong way.:Eek:


    STILL Updating the anime list. . . I didn't think I was that much of an anime freak! I don't even want to consider updating the manga list!

    I had seen this coming, so I clarified when I originally posted.
