Omg, I can finally use my cane and carry more than one f*n thing at a time! Or - on a rough day - use my walker and carry my coffee without fear of a tiny bump into something spilling coffee everywhere! It's the little things like that that I miss
I appreciate your suggestion, and because you did nothing wrong, I've deleted each snarky reply that came out by reflex.
If you have a brand that doesn't leak, slosh, make my coffee taste like ass, or cost a shit ton of money, I'd take that suggestion far more seriously than
With my current two-arm setup I constantly need one hand on the keyboard for shortcuts, and the other one on the mouse or pen tablet. 3D graphics software is punishing like that.
With four hands though, not only I shouldn't waste time putting the pen down to pick the mouse, I'd even get the luxury of holding a cup of coffee in my fourth hand while I work!
Four at once. Four tacos at one time. Four tacos running a train on my face hole until my face is covered in sauce that drips down my chin from my greedy taco loving lips.
I use one of the extra arms to hit the enter key at work. This brings me much joy.
Seriously, one of my biggest frustrations is the tiny inefficiency caused by needing to use a mouse and keyboard at the same time. I can navigate most of it with just the left hand side of the keyboard except for hitting enter at the end of forms. Moving my hand off my mouse or from the left hand side of the keyboard to the right in this rapid, heavily repeated process is uncomfortable.
Now I've written all that I've realised I should just bind it to something on the left hand side of the keyboard or the mouse though. Oh well, I'll put it on the to do for Monday lmao
Also being able to type with both hands, hold the old school corded phones we still have, and use the mouse or write with a pen at the same time would rule.
I could be so much more efficient on a computer. One hand for the mouse, two hands in the standard typing position, and one hand on an external numpad. It would eliminate the need to ever move my hands. I want 4 hands now :(.
I shudder at how even more awkward hugs would be. There is four permutations (with regards to arm-positioning) for hugs between two two-armed individuals. It's way to early to calculate how many two sets of four arms will give. I'm quite sure I would still get it wrong 95% of the times (With a 5% confidence interval).
The two-arms go between the arms. You go wide top and bottom to funnel their inferior number of arms to where you want them. You have the superior arm number. Why would you allow the inferior two arms to dictate anything?
I think with training you might get used to it. Also depending on the task being done maybe you can have more focus on the computer or just use the phone once in a while without needing to remove the hands from the keyboard 🤔
I've always wanted to learn to juggle, but I keep procrastinating and putting it off. But if I suddenly had 4 arms I'd definitely need to actually do it.
