Should the Vulcan greeting replace the handshake in the coronavirus era?

I prefer Namaste. Honestly, bowing to each other doesn’t sound like a bad idea either.

It would be logical.

I’ve been doing that all my life - ever since I started watching Star Trek. (the original as it is now called)
makes sense to me

If we start using the 3 shells we can also stop worrying about the toilet paper!

Fuck the three shells. Nobody knows how to use those. Bidets.

I met with 7 new people today in 6 meetings. Fist bumps were most prominent, with elbows (my preference) second, but one person (female) gave me a great curtsy and in one meeting we all did the Vulcan greeting (initiated by me, just to see if it sparked joy).

just to see if it sparked joy

And did it?

[anon67050589]

We had a spirited discussion about who could do it versus who couldn’t. Final verdict: it didn’t work for all age ranges. I think I enjoyed bringing it up more than anyone else did.

That’s still a win, and you’re prospering

You ruled your social interactions today!

Based on discussion here I tried the Vulcan greeting with both hands. I can do it with both but it’s easier with my left hand and I can get my fingers further apart. I am right handed.
