Asymmetric stupid face tricks: A survey

Sat, 03 Jun 2017 02:38:04 GMT

Yesterday I realized that my skill in Stupid Chiral Face Tricks is asymmetric:

I can raise my left eyebrow independently, but not my right [1]
I can sneer on the left side, but not the right
It turns out I can, upon attempting it, ever so slightly flare just my left nostril, but not my right (I can flare both at once quite easily)
I can wiggle my ears, and although I can't wiggle just one, I feel like I know how I would try to wiggle just my left one but would have no idea on the right
I can flip my tongue one direction but not the other

So the left side of my face is apparently way more expressive! That's cool, and weird, especially since I'm right-handed. It only seems to apply to chiral motions (motions that have left/right handedness to them) so it's not like I just have more limited range of motion on one side of face. Clearly what this calls for is... a poll!

View Poll: stupid face tricks (public)

(For reasons, I am making this a public post, but the poll answers will only be visible to me; I will then strip off usernames and post the responses in a followup. There doesn't seem to be a way to automatically publish poll results minus usernames.)

[1] I can sort of raise my right one, but only by raising both while lowering my left one.
