A lot of people mentioning cross-dominance, which is interesting. I do half activities with my right hand and half with my left. I write and carry a bag with my right hand, but throw with my left and kick left-footed, for example.

I don't want to get all conspiracy theorist, but on the train this morning, a woman was playing on a handheld games console I'd never seen before. I thought, "Wonder what that is? I'll look it up later". Forgot about it.

An Amazon advert for it just came up on Instagram.

THEY'RE IN OUR BRAINS.
