Something's are better left unknown. Like duke before me said probably because the majority are roght handed but you never know. I dig t though when I get wavy ( I don't smoke) I sometimes think and reflect on some " what if" type vibe.

its bad manners to pick out food in india with your left hand, because most people use it to wipe their ass

learning that fact was enough to convince me ill never set foot in that godforsaken country :scusthov:

Cuz Chinese wipe their ass with their lefthand since they think using toilet paper is wasteful. Hence why its common practice in modern societies to shake with your right hand

I heard it started to show peace ie right hands bind together so they're not pulling out a dagger to stab you with

Yeah.

As mentioned, most people are right handed. So when people used to greet someone, they used to
shake with the right hand, because the assumption was a person would not attempt to stab you with
their weaker hand because it might not do the job. Learned this in 4th grade - shout out to Mr. Yamanaka.

I actually always thought it had some biblical origin. I think there's something in the bible about the significance of the right hand

Edit : Question: "Why does Scripture emphasize the right hand of God?"

Answer:
The Scripture has several words translated "right" and the usage of the term, "right hand" ranges from a direction, to the opposite of wrong, what is just or what conforms to an established standard, and to a place of honor or authority. In the case of division or appointment in the Bible, the right hand or right side came first, as when Israel (Jacob) divided the blessings to Joseph's sons before he died (Genesis 48:13-14).
