Which finger would you cut off?

[Gritches]

Just for fun, let's say you've angered the wrong type of people and now they want to cut off one of your fingers. But the thing is, these guys are a little sadistic so now they're letting you choose which one you want to be cut off.

Which finger would you choose to lose? On which hand?

[BrokenHearthstone]

I feel like the middle finger on the left hand would hurt the least. (Why did you think of this?)

[Casagrande]

Fourth finger, non-dominant hand.

Little finger, right hand.

The rest I use regularly, it's the only one that just kinda hangs there doing not a whole lot other than hitting the enter key.

Fourth finger, non-dominant hand.

But that's my tab/strafe left key.

My right hand, fourth finger however... does sweet fuck all! And yep, I'm right-handed.

All 10 of them. Yolo.

[Revi]

Ring finger, right hand. (I'm left-handed)

[Mancowski]

Pinky on dominant hand.


For everything i do in life it is the least useful. And my left one is used for computer stuff and playing different musical instruments.


I have already thought of this situation.

Can I choose someone else's finger?

I'd say my left little finger but how would I do the pinky swear then!?

Read an article about this not too long ago, about which one you should choose if this ever happened to you. Believe it or not, the article suggested the index finger because the index and middle finger are pretty much exactly the same so if you chose the index finger, the middle finger could take it's place, per se. The pinky is far more valuable for gripping things than your index, middle or ring finger which is what makes it more necessary than any of those three overall despite it's size. Try lifting something heavy or doing a pull-up without the pinky and it's...well, quite difficult. You can probably do just fine without using any one of said other fingers for those tasks, however.

Here is the link, in the unlikely event someone actually reads what I have written and gotten this far (and judging by all the people still picking the pinky, it hasn't happened yet) http://www.businessinsider.com/if-ki...crifice-2013-9

Anyways, I'd probably choose the index finger of my right (dominant) hand. I need all five of my left fingers for the keyboard, plus I need all five for playing the guitar...I can do without one on the other hand if I needed to.

Do you not use your 4th finger of you right hand for your mouse? 2nd finger of LMB, middle on wheel/middle button, 4th on your RMB?

[Iakhovas]

Ring finger, right hand. (I'm left-handed)

^ What he said!

[Jester Joe]

I guess ring finger...because I don't need it for trigger buttons at all ever. Middle finger has it's usages. Oh God I could never type again though.

[Tzalix]

Little finger, right hand. I use my little finger on my left hand for shift and ctrl.

[Hey There Guys its Metro]

I wouldn't cut any off.

[crazymack]

Both ring fingers. Two birds one stone.
=P

Right handed here, and i'd take the pinky on my right hand. I use the left pinky a lot when working with computers and playing bass, and i actually do a lot of everyday things with my left hand, but the right pinky is just... there
