Ahh, I am the opposite !!!
Right Hand: Write, mouse, etc.
Left: Throw, Hold cup to drink, grab.
Both: Hold a screw driver, etc.
I think that the left does all the heavy work, the right does all the precision moves, both can do the in-between tasks.
Is that ambidextrous? They complement each other...
My right-hand is using the trackpad so it might pick the RH option by itself
I'm left handed but I mouse and trackpad right handed. That goes back to the 80s when I first came across a mouse. I decided to use the hand I shift a car with. Which here in the USA is your right hand.
If the sport uses one hand I'm left handed but for 2 handed sport activities (batting in baseball, golf) I am right handed.
PS The last 5 presidents of the USA were left handed.
Proper dining etiquette says fork in left hand, knife in right. That works out great for us left handers. But the reason that came about is at one time us Europeans didn't use a fork, it hadn't been invented. We use a knife in our right hand that had and edge on one side and was wide like a spatula. We would use the fingers on our left hand to help put the food on the spatula knife and use the spatula knife to put the food in our mouths. At least that's what I read once... I wasn't there.

We would probably just eat with our fingers and save the knife for cutting. That's what we used to do in the Gulf, except that we didn't use knives either. Poor form to unsheathe one's knife at the host's table.
Picking up a sheep's eye in your fingers is quite an experience. Over there, of course, as in most places untouched by toilet paper, eating was always done with the right hand. The Scots don't call lefties cack-handed for nothing.
I am a leftie except for mousing.
It's entirely possible that I'm neither a rightie or a leftie, if the benchmark is penmanship.

It's all the Societal pressures.

I am right-handed by Nature.
In my teens I saw a WWII movie, about Brit spies in German-occupied territory.
One was tripped-up when he switched hands with his knife/fork.
From that day I taught myself to eat with my fork staying in my left hand.

There is actually some doubt over this. It may be an example of poor science. A study in the early 90s found left handed people died younger than right. However, there a lots of issues-
The sample size was quite small.
Lots of second hand information.
Left handedness used to be discouraged, even in the early 20th century. So at the end of the 20th century we would expect there to be fewer older left handed people compared to younger ones.
Unfortunately, although the medical community is aware of the inconclusive link between handedness and life expectancy the public still believe in this myth.
EDIT- Although there is some truth in the idea that left handed people are more likely to be injured, especially in jobs involving manual labour as we live in a right handed world.

Normally I do things just right.
But last year I surprised myself by being able to use chopsticks with my left hand while the right side was getting an infusion and was not willing to feed me.
My left wing had to take over and he did well.

The poll makes no sense, there's no way there is a 50/50 proportion! It's usually something like 10/90
I'm right-handed. I read a study somewhere that left-handed women have less life expectancy (live less). It is unknown why, just spreading fear. Google it!

Have you considered that left-handed people might be more creative, and thus flock to Apple?
This may also hold true for Gays, of which we seem to have more than our fair share.
I write with my right (100%)
I use my computer mouse with my right (80%) and left (20%)
I throw a baseball left (50%) and right (50%)
I drive with my left (30%), right (30%), and both (40%)
I eat with my right (40%) and left (60%)
My cup goes on my right (60%) and left (40%)
I'm basically all over the place...
