What’s the use of a hand on the top of the head if you can’t reach down to scratch your butt? I know the other two are more suited for the purpose, but the other day, I was carrying a heavy box up the auger ramp, and my butt decides to start itching out of nowhere. I had to put the box down, scratch the butt, and pick it back up. If only the middle hand was a bit longer, I could have carried on without breaking sweat.

    If the void wanted us to use the third hand for anything other than signaling, it would corrupt us that way. I say we’re lucky enough and I’m grateful the system is as civilized as it is.

      I dunno. The other day I cleaned my ear with the third hand, and I only felt weird for like 30 mins afterwards. I don’t feel corrupted in any way. In fact, I have been cleaning my ear 4-5 times every day with my third hand since then but I don’t feel any corruption, only bliss.
