[ WP ] After years of research , you uncover the horrifying truth behind why some people are left handed .

`` I think we're ready'' I said to my research team. After years and years we've managed to perfect a medical/chemical/biological/mechanical/psychological procedure that allows a person to be dead for a long period of time and then be brought back to life with no risk. Preliminary tests with mice and eventually primates have been overwhelmingly successful. We've got all the theory down, the method, the procedure, we've tested dozens of times, only one chimpanzee had to be put down a few days after the experiment because something was wrong with him ever since he came back. He was the one who stayed dead the longest: 46 days, but i wo n't get into that. The only thing we do n't know for sure is what's beyond that threshold. Do you go into a dreamlike state? how is our perception of time affected while you're out? is it like dreams where it feels like hours and days but it's only been seconds? Is it just nothing? Do you just feel like you closed your eyes for a second and it's all over? like when you sleep without dreaming. I really hope not, in fact I hope it's not nothing, on the contrary, I hope it's EVERYTHING. Your energy and consciousness are no longer a part of the physical realm so you just become a part of everything that ever was. Knowledge, infinite knowledge, that's what I'm counting on. And as the head of the project I want to be the first human to try it out. I'm gon na get as many answers as I can, to everything. My colleagues are excited, as they should be. It may seem trivial, and that's why I have n't told my team about this... but as a lefty, I've always wondered why there are lefties and just hated the fact that there was no straight answer and no way to know for sure. Until now, that is; when i am about to hopefully tap into all knowledge ever. Do n't ask me why, but that will be the first question i want answered, why are there lefties?, why are there lefties? why are there lefties?. let's skip to when lights go out: 3... 2... 1... Focus now...'' why are there...'' 
 
 
 `` Did it work?'' and i immediately knew the answer was yes... But this was nothing like i had imagined, for some reason I always thought it would be something like watching a movie or being right in the middle of an event as everything happens around you. It's more like stuff is simply uploaded into your brain. One moment you do n't know something and the next minute you do, speaking of minutes, I asked to be reanimated in ten minutes, how long has it been? Then I realized i knew the answer, it had been twelve seconds, because i could know everything just by making myself aware of the question. At that point i realized i knew the answer to the question i first had. I was amazed, surprised and a bit disappointed. Humans had always been ambidextrous. 30,000 years ago our planet was conquered by a superior alien species that realized how much potential the planet had in terms of natural resources and manual labor. They quickly enslaved us of course. Ignorant and un-evolved as we were, this superior race had to show us tools, agriculture, construction, etc. After a few hundred years, as a naturally violent and non-conformist species, humans started developing weapons. A handful of humans led an ill-conceived attempt to rise against their overlords. 
 
 The aliens had to constantly dispose of humans that for whatever reason were not productive; Illness, old age, etc. So they created these little machines that were programmed to stab you in the heart, causing instant death. There were hundreds of them, but they could n't do much else, just stab the heart. These machines were deployed to stop the uprising. Humans of course foresaw this and had created shields to protect their hearts, rendering those little machines practically useless. It took the aliens forever to contain the rebels. The reason was the aliens did n't really need heavy weaponry to subdue us back when they first arrived, and since then, they never thought they would need it. 
 
 They had a completely different way of reasoning than humans do and here's how i realized that: 
 
 To make sure nothing like that ever happened again, the only thing they could think of was, `` well... these guys cover their hearts with shields, they hold their shields with their left arm; no-brainer, let's cut off all their left arms at birth''. You and I know this was a very stupid plan, but like i said, they reasoned at a level we ca n't even comprehend. Besides, this stupid plan worked for thousands of years. 
 
 Unlike humans, these aliens were not capable of learning at a quick rate, or adapting. We eventually found a way to overthrow them. But since we spent thousands of years not having left arms, we evolved to favor the right. It was n't until a few thousand years later that we started going back to using the left, some of us exclusively. 
 
 In time we would all become ambidextrous again. 
 
 Ten minutes go by and i wake up. I ca n't remember anything. Apparently, when you come back to the physical world you can only keep the knowledge with which you left. Everything you learn over there... stays there... you forget it, unless YOU stay there
